@Ravix no way Stray will win game of the year. Remember what Liam said about it, if you disregard everything that's good about it, it no longer holds up.

Invites are being sent out in the US too.

Cyberpunk 2077 was CDPR's game of the year in 2020. It's the only game they released that year, hence their game of that year.

Factions 2 will be announced as PC exclusive.

Hopefully they're cutting out the awards show pretense. Nobody cares about games that are already out, we just want new announcements.

@avatarian here you go: this is the worst possible month ever. Anyone who wants Mass Effect and Biomutant would've already bought them by now. PS+ should be giving us 3 AAA day one PS-exclusives every month, anything less is just Sony being lazy.

Having said that, I'm looking forward to both Biomutant and Mass Effect, that's pretty rare for two of the games to interest me.

@ChrisDeku I have this list, except The Messenger is also one of the games.

Maybe it's just there so people who can't find any information about the game know why, because it's not out yet.

The description sounds like Ghostrunner. I wonder if this game'll be forgotten as fast as that one was.

Apart from Divine Knockout, this is a really great month. Divine Knockout is a waste of a slot as it's already planned to become free to play after the first season.

This was by far the worst of the original PS5 game reveals. Was hoping it was just silently canceled.

Not much difference, I'll still install both to plat both.

@Cideco looks like it'll start off paid and then become free after the first "season". So, waste of a PS+ Essential slot.

Anyone else answer yes to listing audiobooks? I would never listen to one, but man do I enjoy making lists about them.

@theGoodChap it's a British thing, like salad cream. Basically, a mayonnaise-like cream you put on your custard.

Poison Control looks like the best deal for me, at $5. Although I guess I should probably just buy the disc for 10x that since physical is always cheaper, right? ¯\(ツ)/¯

@themightyant I'd say it's the opposite. Wanda's actions in Dr Strange 2 only make sense if you've seen Wandavision.

@danlk1ng that was actually when Naughty and Dog merged, years earlier.

It didn't really make sense that Valhalla was an Ubisoft+ Classic, but still I didn't expect this. I wonder if this means Ubisoft+ itself will be coming to PlayStation soon.

Where have you guys been for the past 20 years? Cosmetic DLC is nothing knew, but suddenly this game is garbage because it had some? It's not for the vast majority of gamers, it's just for absolute diehards of the game that also have disposable cash.

@Ken_Kaniff because they're still there with new ones being added all the time. Here's the unfiltered game list: https://psnprofiles.com/games?shovelware

It's doesn't matter how "edgy" or "cool" this Twitter account thinks it is, I'm not going to buy the game.

@BlackMayge death animations have nothing to do with getting the platinum trophy.

@Mossbergs how do they fall under this definition of spam? I haven't played all of their games, but they're all different in functionality.

@Slug_full_of_metal I have no idea who that is, but a ton of people have been talking about this. Push Square has run articles about it too. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2022/05/pay-for-ps5-ps4-platinum-trophies-is-rampant-on-ps-store-right-now

@Ken_Kaniff that's not because of Sony. Those lists aren't showing up anymore because PSNP staff is manually hiding them (though I bet there's some automatic hiding too).

I'd love another Castlevania, but I'd want a 2D one ala Symphony of the Night or Aria of Sorrow, which I can't imagine Santa Monica Studio would ever make something like that.

@Pokemaniacal you know it might be possible that people in a country aren't their government. Or you should probably avoid any US games so you don't support any of the atrocities the US commits. Better to avoid all games and products, really, doubt there's any government out there that doesn't do bad stuff.

There's not really anything to make of this. We need more info about their game to decide whether it sounds fun.

@Mossbergs I don't think the voices games falls under this definition of spam. Those are all actual short games and they're all different from each other. The couple of re-releases, I think, are free if you own the other (except cross-gen).

@ReadySlayerOne according to another of her tweets, she worked directly for Santa Monica Studio.

@tselliot Nope. Not true. Like I said, depends on the game, Plenty are way cheaper digital, especially when you consider sale prices, just like plenty can be cheaper physical (but the best physical deals usually come from location-specific clearance which basically may as well not exist for 99% of people).

Some examples of full price: Resonance of Fate PS4 is $35 digital when not on sale ($20 on sale), the cheapest ebay listing I saw was $70. Nights of Azure 1&2 are both $60 digital ($21/$24 on sale or included with Extra) but $70 for a disc.

Physical discs eventually stop getting made, so their price will drive up, the digital listing isn't going to go up in price at least.

@Torque the title is "fan disappointment" which is plural, not "fan disappointed" which would be singular.

@Hindenburg no, you can't carry over your progression from previous Assassin's Creed games to new ones.

@tselliot it depends on the game. Plenty of games are way cheaper digital than physical, especially as time goes on and the discs just get more and more expensive. Also, no way physical rentals will ever match the per-game price of PS+'s upper tiers, the drawback being new releases very likely won't be on PS+, you'd need to rent physical if you absolutely cannot wait.

Basically, being physical-only is just as foolish as being digital-only. Getting the best of both worlds is the way to go.

PS the greatest hits physical versions still exist (and they exist as digital too).

@Jayslow ...was not one of the games they brought over from PS Now.

@Verzion214 Push Square is an anti-Playstation PlayStation site. About 90% of the commenters actively hate PlayStation. Other PS news sites tend to have very low quality articles, so I'm not aware of any better site yet.

Epic burn against Sega! They dropped every single Sega game from the service when transitioning (but have been adding them back).

@TwoPieceTanookiSuit what an overreaction. This article caused you to rush through Ragnarok? Let's be realistic people, knowing X character is in a game doesn't spoil anything. Did you guys hear Aerith is in FF7 Remake? Oops, spoiler warning.

The people buying at the scalper price are just as bad as the scalpers. Don't buy higher than MSRP and the price will naturally go down to what it's supposed to be.

@sanderson72 man, I wish I could've bought the PS5 at the Japanese price. Even after the price hike, it's over $100 less than in the US (and like 150 GBP cheaper than the UK price).

@MFTWrecks same. There were the OsCorp roof science stations, but I don't remember Harry narrating any of them, I thought Peter did.

Edit: and I believe there was a very spoiler scene, but Harry didn't speak, that showed where we was during the events of the game.

@Sil_Am You mean association football, which is shortened to soccer?

Wow, game sounds literally unplayable. This is the current generation for crying out loud! I only play games that are 1713p at 87 fps.

@Robocod I thought it was pretty clear from the beginning that Premium was just a rebranding of PS Now.

@PegasusActual93 I don't know about that. So far the best PSVR1 games I've played were third person (like Moss) and I've only gotten nauseous from some first person games (usually involving flying).

Too many first person games for PSVR2. I'm thinking I won't pre-order because there doesn't seem like there'll be a good selection of third person games.

How do we know this isn't a reference to Fortnite?

I got the pre-order invite, but probably gonna pass. $600 is a lot for a gimmick controller and screen. Plus the latest PSVR1 game I've been playing is making me sick after 20 minutes. That's fine when you've paid $100 to try out some new tech, but a lot harder to justify 6x that.

Hopefully they've completely rebuilt the combat from the ground up.
