@stBoa I am certain it does not register based on Trophies - I had no problem registering Yakuza 6 and others despite having their respective Platinum Trophies, while others registered after I had deleted the Trophy list the moment I opened the game.

Probably best to put it down to Sony's wonky infrastructure.

@nessisonett Sorry mate, I self-identify as an ally - please respect who I am. That's not too much to ask for, right?

Hogwarts Legacy is a fine-looking game and if it was on PS+ I'd likely be giving it a go right now. EDIT: kek, comment I was quoting was removed.

Didn't buy, not interested in this type of game, but glad it's doing well and that people are enjoying it so much.

FLY, EAGLES, FLY!

Says the Jets fan....

Annoying that so little effort is put into the Trophies now - the first Syphon Filter actually had a few misc./missable ones, but 2 and 3 did not. At least we are getting them, I guess....

And yes, I'll ditto Americansamurai1; never got to try Resistance: Retribution back in the day but would be excited to play it now.

@OnceaThief I have no idea what those are actually :B

Sony needs just one of these projects to succeed. At that point the rest can flop and they'll be painless write-offs. And they will, as the live service space is already overcrowded as is. At this scale, chasing that 'next Fortnite' is worth throwing all kinds of projects to the wall to see what sticks.

Personally, hoping to see a new Killzone. If only so I can enjoy it for six months before the plug is pulled.

@tgt I think this was the first comment made that supported the insertion of the disputed paragraphs.

The fact it took nearly 200 comments says it all about the general attitude among readers. I enjoyed reading everyone's inputs very much.

@LiamCroft Not particularly out of the ordinary I guess, I'm struggling to think of a story-driven game that lets you do so. Saints Row The Third, maybe?

Can you actually swap genders once you've chosen your character at the start of the game?

Still not interested in playing it and I don't know why - especially considering I used to enjoy (and still would enjoy) HP2 on the PS2. Oh well, hope everyone gets their copies early and has a great time!

@LazyLombax Thank you, bit bizarre that one but hey ho, it is what it is.

Technically I'm in that group; I subsisted on my Vita and Steam until the PS5 came along. That being said, I did play four games on other people's PS4s, so there's no telling whether Sony counts me as part of the 'new' player group.

Currently missing the 'Feel The Love' campaign for February, which, by the by, seems to have the tracker for one of the games glitched. I can boot up Life is Strange all I want but it won't register.

Excited to be playing as John Yakuza in the Samurai era.

I know Stardust isfirst party, but are the other two as well? Star Wars: Demolition needs a Plat, I've had a lot of fun revisiting it and a Plat sould make me go back yet again.

Honestly, that single game is so nostalgic it has made the past few months of subbing to Premium worth it.

Is the original a good game? I've been asked to gift this to someone but need to do my due diligence and make sure it's not a crock of ****.

The economy/business-based minigames are my some of my favourite parts of Like A Dragon games, so no complaints from me on this one.

Syphon Filter (the first which launched alongside PS Plus Premium) had a decent list with a few missable Trophies and even a collectible (one kill with each gun).

It's a massive disappointment that they couldn't be bothered for 2 and 3 and went with such lazy lists. Clearly the technology is available, make use of it.

Never thought I'd play SW Demolition again but here I am.... blast from the past. And I'm only marginally better than I was as an 8 year old....

Worth a download for the sheer novelty of it if you've never played it back in the day. You'll be grateful for how far gaming has come. No excuse for it not to have Trophies though....

No trophies, huh?

Madden games are shockingly poor and the series would have either been a lot better - or dead and buried - had EA not strong-armed 2K and their superior series out of the market by convincing the NFL to sign an exclusivity deal.

Ideally, each game will have a separate Trophy list. If it's shared, then gosh, that's a loooooooooooong Platinum.

Can we please get a reasonable minimum advanced warning period in place that's fairer than < two weeks? Imagine this was for some sprawling RPG, you'd never have the time.

Meanwhile, Nintendo keeps its games locked to its own console and is swimming in a gorillion Dollars.

Glad I got the online Trophies done for AssCreed Brotherhood and Revelations in 2020. Such poor, poor games - they were bizarrely overrated back in the day already and re-visiting them a decade down the line was painful to say the least.

Can I get the anime elements without the shallow racing game, please?

"some "anime elements", like flames shooting out of your car as you drift"

Sounds like a boardroom full of suits pretending to be hip and down with the kids again, who in their right mind thinks anime when seeing that?

"Unfortunately, the digital copy of Man of Medan acquired through PS Plus Essential doesn't count at the time of writing."

Boo! Would have been nice, but alas - can understand why, Man of Medan PS5 will shift double digit units otherwise.

Very little for me in there, Metro Exodus Expansion Pass is the only thing I'm considering. PS Plus Premium has got me spoilt for games to play.

Excellent, Sonic's arms aren't blue on this show.

@DETfaninATL Retribution was rated for release alongside Syphon Filter long before the new tiers were revealed, it's all but guaranteed to be coming.

I don't think any of the first party titles were added without Trophy support, so reckon we'll both be playing it on release day in one of the coming months.

On PS Plus Essential within 18 months, servers shut within 36 if I had to guess.

Tie trophy value to rarity, which PSN already tracks. Watch as the people who invested hundreds of smackers into games like this melt down.

@Enigk Maybe, huh?

@darkswabber Like a Dragon Gaiden: The man who erased his name

CHOTTO MATTE YO! Kiryu's back? NANI?!

@playstation1995 I'd be seriously concerned if it was word down for a change.

Funny that, both Kiryu's and Ichiban's irezumi show on the promo image.

Here's hoping for native PS5 versions of older games like 0, localizations of Black Panther, Kenzan!, and Ishin!, Like a Dragon 2, and more, more, more.

But watch it be only LAD2, a bunch of useless merch or mobile game *****, and nothing else. Nonetheless, highlight of the year for me, nothing beats a game made by RGG Studio.

I download 2K22 for a laugh via Plus, and good lord was I overwhelmed being dumped into that city. Would be nicer if the devs arranged for a softer landing via a more guided intro into this part of the game.

See, this is why I've never shared my profile with anyone at work; they'll see the gargantuan amount of Trophies I've unlocked during working hours - often even during video calls where I was supposedly paying attention. Can't have that.

I had to sit through the Ezio trilogy and Black Flag because my younger brother stuck them on my profile without getting the Plat/100%, and I absolutely cannot understand why people like this series (outside of Odyssey and Valhallah, which I haven't played). Trite, uninspired open worlds, and that's by PS3 - not PS5 - standards.

Very cool, but not for me. Still have yet to play this game, never understood the hype.

Everyday we stray further from God's light.

13 out of 15 again, I either do really well or really poorly on these.

I've been around since the PS1 era and have had zero interest in playing either TLOU game since the first released on the PS3. Just not my bag. Even on Plus I'd be extremely unlikely to ever try it.

Expecting the first one to come into the PS Plus fold soon then.

@Avishayafriat Bend's Twitter confirmed that you can buy the game separately.

Guess I might try Need for Speed. Other two, probably not for me, but any month that has at least one 'maybe' for me is a good month.

New Mafia, yes please. By Hangar 13 though, no thanks.
