I was holding off for the retail release (because I'm not fond of digital on principle) but considering most of the extras are "Raid" related this has put me on the fence entirely.
I'd buy the telltale ones but I'm fairly confident they'll be on sale before they're all finished, possible for a bigger discount than they're on for now.
After walking dead season 2 I'm not waiting 2 months between episodes so I'm going to wait for the end anyway.
@rastamadeus Oh I know that now but at the start they seemed to at least pretend it was, now not so much.
I'll use mine of REmake because I was planning on buying it anyway to support more classic RE games but if I wasn't planning on buying it I wouldn't use this out of principle.
Hold on, I thought Ubi Soft promised all DLC would be free and the season pass discontinued because of the shambles of a launch, now it's only Dead Kings?
@SteveButler2210 I believe it'll be whole basket, I'm hoping for some good offers from tomorrow to take advantage of it (Though I wouldn't be surprised if they were also illegible after this)
I don't mean to be negative but I'm really let down by this offering at Sony at saying "sorry". I mean I'd almost wish they'd give us nothing instead of this given this just looks like a transparent attempt to get everyone to spend more money on the PS store in order to get more of a discount. I mean if I use this on REmake I'll get a whole £1.50 off the price which, while arguably better than nothing, is quite pitiful.
The fact they're not allowing subscriptions further adds to it really.
I was actually all excited to try and platinum this before I seen it involves beating the game 9 times, including once "without saving," one on "real survival" and worst of all once on "invisible enemy mode"
I beat REmake at least 5 times on GC but I couldn't get past the Crimson head boss in invisible enemy mode and I'm not dumb enough to try again.
@Licenced True but rather than spend 80+ quid in a new hard drive I can put in a months savings towards a new PC and 5 months down the line have a PC more powerful than my PS4 to enjoy/finally play my steam library on (I'm a Mac user so get an inferior experience from it)
I've already reached the point where I have to delete games off my hard drive or buy a new one, and seeing the prices of 2.5 inch 2 TB just make me think "Maybe I'd be better off buying a PC instead"
To be honest I can't imagine this being a more financially friendly option either, considering I need to buy an add-on then a hard drive on top of it.
I really shudder to think how DOA 5 and SSFIV are going to handle over a streaming connection.
Otherwise it's nice to see such a large collection of AAA there and the subscription cost isn't bad but as someone that played most of what they wanted on PS3 it's not for me.
Nintendo offer users 10% off all digital purchases for two years as a way of saying thanks (Well the premium edition was 50 quid more expensive than the basic and came with console holder/dock/more memory so in my head premium membership was a cherry on top)
Sony, through mostly the fault of sad people, fail to perform as advertised and do a awful job of communicating/fixing it and give us a one off 10% off code? Pathetic, if I buy one game (Say REmake HD) I'll save a whole £1.70, it comes across like an attempt to get us to spend more money more than anything.
They come across as complete stupid if they didn't think some people would do this, even if it cost 500 quid people would have still been flocking theirs on Ebay.
True Sammy but a some people have said similar things about the wording Titanfall which doesn't seem to be any closer towards coming towards PS4 (I'm beginning to think "Life of the title" means we'll get Titanfall 1 along with Titanfall 2 maybe?)
Don't get me wrong, I want Tomb Raider to come to PS4 having been a big fan of the first one, just reluctant to get my hopes up, MS are going to want to get a hit in of some kind after the SFV blow this weekend.
Shame, I was hoping this would be a fun companion to Divekick (Which I'm still waiting to go on sale since I refuse to pay full price for it after being spoiled by cross-buy on every other game)
I can respect a film (or in this case a game) that knows exactly what it is and runs with it so the cheesiness factor is more than a plus with me.
The whole concern is length, how long can this game last because as a film it would probably be over in 90 minutes. I know there's multiple endings but I haven't went back to Heavy Rain/The Walking Dead/Wolf or Beyond (which I really didn't care for) since I beat them so if I'm going to pay full price for this I want my moneys worth
I'd rather go retail but it all depends on what price it's going to be, I'm not going to pay 15 extra quid just for "throwback stages" and Wesker after all.
Perhaps but that one playthrough can be an absolutely roller-coaster of emotion and (in the case of the walking dead series) somehow contain better written characters than in the TV show.
It's not for everyone and after The Walking Dead Season 2 I'm hesitant to pay full price for a season again given the 2 month wait between episodes there and the sales before the series even concluded (Absolutely inexcusable in my eyes) but I am very much looking forward to picking this up down the line...I'm still haunted by my actions in the finale of Season 2 Walking Dead even.
Oh I know, I'm taking 3.5 weeks off during Christmas and my main aim during it is to tackle as much of my PS3 backlog as possible (Which as a ps+ subscriber is too big to list)
@MunkyKnuts I may get around to it eventually but I never had high hopes for the game even before reviews came out (Ubi Soft don't have a habit of getting it right first time, see AC and FC) so it's not something I'm going to go out of my way to pick up, but if I ever get to the bottom of my to play backlog (as unlikely as it is) I could give it a shot.
No problem, I can't expect other people to have nothing better to do than check Amazon for new deals.
They had a good Shadow of Mordor deal earlier that went down to 23.99 but any games I buy will go straight into my backlog I've a strict rule of not spending more than 20 quid for a game I'm not going to play "straight away".
Personally I'm hoping for a good Evil Within or Hyrule Warriors deal, as unlikely as either are.
@Get2sammyB I'm hoping that's the case, I know Powers can be a dirty word around here but I'm curious to see it and I don't want to pay for an additional service onto of PS+ to do so (Especially since I'm already paying for Netflix)
I've never played ME1 (Despite having it downloaded on my PS3) but I've been meaning to do an Insanity playthrough of these games and a PS4 edition would be all the motivation I need.
But Sammys right, year 2 of a consoles cycle is past the time for "HD" remakes.
Does anyone care about this anymore? If they got the date right and released it when it was supposed to people would have given it the benefit of the doubt and downloaded it just to give it a shot in spite of some not so great reviews. Some may have hated it but I've no doubt it may have gotten a few converts to shell out for the full edition.
After being waiting for a month though I think a lot of those people have moved on so Sony have really missed the boat on this game.
I feel as though some people would prefer "Knack" because it has more perceived monetary value to the likes of "The Binding of Issac" even though by all accounts on Metacritic Issac is the far better game.
If the MP worked all the time then what these games are would be irrelevant in my head, they'd just be some little bonus you can take or leave (I acknowledge other people would still complain but I think it would be quite a bite less). Sadly we get moments like yesterday and 2 weeks ago where we can't get what we paid for and these games simply don't make up for it in my eyes.
Is it a free game though? We pay for plus in order to qualify for the games, granted we pay for the PSN and not the games but the PSN doesn't perform as advertised all the time (See yesterday) and these games simply don't really make up for it.

Re: Amazon UK Black Friday Discounts Hook Up Watch Dogs on PS4
24.99? They had a sneak peak lightning deal at the weekend and it dropped to 18.99, could easily see it dropping that low again later today.
I'd be interested but from what I hear Watch Dogs is a GTA clone and I've already GTAV to play.

They are Sammy and they've mostly all reviewed well, that won't stop people from complaining that they're not AAA.
Me? I'm put off from ever buying another indie game on the PS store because I figure it'll just make it onto Plus a few months time.
