Feel bad for everyone who got suckered into buying this. Then again, what did you expect of an EA game?

Can Sony stop ***** up for maybe 5 minutes? Please?

Shame. They are mandated for every game on PS3/4/5/V post-2007 and the technology to add them to old games is clearly available, so why not extend the mandate to PS1/2PSP re-releases as well?

Hopefully the majority of Plus partners will make use of the option even without Sony forcing them.

TROPHIES! I'M TROOOOOOOOPHING!

Oh, I actually left it on my hard-drive from one of the last free weekends. Might invest a few minutes again. It plays okay but then it's also my first (and only) COD game ever.

Think I'll stick to white. Never did mind it before the PS5 came out, and have really grown to like it. Besides, if I got one of these new plates my 'regular' Dualsense'd look out of place.

Bit of a stretch to call Wonderlands an entirely new franchise, but you do you T2.

Good. I always look forward to the announcement/leak only to be sorely disappointed, so to have that happen twice as regularly now is brilliant!

No Trophies, no play. Sorry guys, that's simply the degree to which my brain has rotted.

Disappointing. Hope to see unique icons for each tier on every user's profile.

Are we surprised?

• Stock shortages
• Resurgent competition
• Muddled messaging around Plus' future
• Poor game selecions (YMMV)

I'm a sucker for having bought five further years of PS Now to turn into Premium

Haven't played one since F1 2011 on Vita (did Plat that one as well as F1 2010 on PS3), don't think this'll change any time soon with EA getting involved.

Going to wrap up the PS4 re-release of Star Wars Bounty Hunter tonight, having unlocked its rarest Trophy (sub 1 percent on PSNP!) yesterday already.

I see EA are trying to lure more unfortunate souls into their diabolical money-making machine. Don't be fooled, everyone! Like a dealer offering a taster hoping to get you hooked.

Redesign that includes a cup holder.

Looking forward to a new batch of Trophies.

Glad to be getting a new map but I prefer Hitman locations to be glamourous - bit like Dubai, Paris, Miami. The new one looks like Colorado 2: Nighttime Boogaloo but as always I'm willing to give it a chance.

Madia III was garbage and the remake didn't do the original justice. Definitive port of II was broken on release. Please leave the series alone, absolutely zero faith in Hangar 13 even with Blackman off the project.

Thank god his arms aren't blue this time.

But does the in-game track have authentic fake water?

@dancingmind On your profile, click into either your worldwide or country rank.

On the next screen, you'll see a header near the top, towards the right, saying 'All platforms - PS5 - PS4 PS3 - Vita -VR - Multiplatform'.

Click any of those to get to the platform-specific leaderboard. You'll see your world rank and domestic rank next to the 'Cheaters removed' number above the leaderboard, on the left. Now click into that domestic rank to be taken to the relevant page of the leaderboard you're currently sat on.

Aaaaaaand only once I typed this all out did I realize you figured it out already. Damn. In my experience, it's all spammers. Check the guys directly above and below you on the leaderboard. Can almost guarantee both have spammed Rata games.

@jdv95 surely Tomb Raider outsold those three in lifetime series sales - possibly multiple times over.

Just Cause is as good as dead anyway after their rinky-dink New York studio botched 3 and saw 4 undersell badly.

Loved the trilogy, even if H3 underdelivered. Peak was Hokkaido for me. Looking forward to the new DLC map.

Has been the case for years and years. On PSNProfiles, I'm in the top 100 of Vita players in my country, but everyone around me on the leaderboard has 30+ ten minute RatalaikaPlats.

Frustrating, but it is what it is. Sony sees money from these 'games' so of course they're happy to let them onto the store.

Are we officially going to chuck Battlefield in the 'failed' bin? Not that I disagree.

Even with five years of Premium, I don't think I'll ever touch this one. Just doesn't tickle my pickle.

Another zero redemptions month for me, sadly. Madden 22 instead of FIFA 22 would have been fantastic.

Hope that everyone who is happy with this selection will enjoy their time playing the games.

Nothing but I suppose I'll start Everybody's Gone To The Rapture on Monday or Tuesday. Gotta put those five stacked years of PS Now to good use.

@Kooky_Daisuke That's one of this summer's monthly PS5 games for Plus Essential sorted then. Paired with Dead Multiplayer Game #537 and Niche Sports Title 202X on PS4 no doubt.

And it only took, what, 500 abused Singaporean workers? The hard-working and highly skilled workforce of that country deserves so much better.

Honestly surprised other big publishers haven't opened shop on Pulau Ujong to take advantage, but then maybe that is for the best.

looks at fat stack of physical Vita games

Mmmh, not like I am ever going to sell most of them, but... good stuff. Think I have everything I need apart from Yomawari Night Alone, which I never did buy. Maybe the Euro version of Persona 4 Golden as well, for some reason the copy I bought in the UK is for the US (separate Trophy lists, so worth owning both). If Sony is going to stick the knife in, then at least give us one more period of respite to finish up buying everything.

No Trophies, no play.

One day I will take Sony to court for frying my dopamine receptors.

I turn my PS5 off, but leave it plugged in. Does that consume anything at all? Tiny little bit right?

Another month of three swings and three misses for me - not going to redeem any of them. Madden instead of Fifa would have been swell.

Not that I'm too mad. I view Plus membership as a monthly lottery ticket. At times you luck out, but usually there's no win beyond the anticipation and thrill of the reveal/leak date approaching.

@Scob I invested in Now until March 2027, even though I had never subscribed previously. Quite the caper.... if the unrevealed list of games turns out to be decent.

Something interesting to consider; I'm one of the guys who loaded up on Now subscriptions to get Premium at a reasonable price. My email tells me I get access to the 400+ PS4/5 games and 300+ PS1/2/3 games. So, any rumours that Now subscribers / loophole exploiters get shafted in terms of the tiers can hopefully be consigned to the rubbish bin

Such a shame that it has to be this way.

@Curien98 thank you, that was extremely helpful. Finally have my answer!

Can someone explain 'suffer like G did' to me? Saw it previously as a Trophy for the zombie minigame in Lost Judgment, this a reference to something?

What I want; anything with Yakuza in the title

What I will get; dead-on-arrival multiplayer game from two years ago, cheap PS5 indie game, and either a sports game or a forgotten budget title that's already on PS Now.

Trophies are the only thing I need to be happy. Having different icons on profiles to show what tier of Plus you are on would be nice too but ultimately trivial compared to a fat load of Platinums.

If you didn't tell me what movie that article header image was from, I wouldn't have a clue frankly.

Not gonna lie, this is quite a blatant case of.... uh... being inspired by something.

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Anyone taking bets on when the servers for this go offline? I'll stick a tenner on 2024.

Need to see everyone single Yakuza game (or at least up until Judgment) on there so I can leave a few of my copies shrink-wrapped.

Sony left 12 month Now subscriptions up on my local PSN store. Those translate to Premium Plus subs from June onward. Bought five full years worth, because it works out to 5 Euro per month. Pretty happy with that, all things considered.

Four chapters for that price while the main game has, what, 14 chapters?

That being said, this is RGG Studio so they immediately get the benefit of the doubt.

It’s a “different SKU” = We couldn't "be bothered".

Yeah, the game's key art is all over local public transit. Mercifully all manner of cringe that was on there first, like Illumination's latest turgid 'cinematic' dropping, has been removed for it.
