PhhhCough

If you're in the essential tier, how do you upgrade to the higher ones? Just purchase and the remaining time left, is converted, ala gamepass. Or..

I haven't played RDR2 online, but if it's similar to RDR1 online, then I don't know what they could add, honestly. It's the wide open, wild west. And because of the era, tech will be limited. So what, new horses? Wagons? Maybe model T, depending on the time, etc. Settlements and ranches, maybe? New weapons? I guess new rifles, revolvers and shotguns from the time period. New missions, maybe a new area to explore, QoL improvements, etc, are all welcomed. But there is only so much you can do and add to a western online world.

Ubi+ adds 50 games. 20 assassin's creed, 20 farcry and 10 watch dog games😆😆

@get2sammyb with the whole "updating monthly" situation, will that mean adding new games monthly? Or a "rotation of titles"? Meaning some will be taken off, as well.

@Juanalf I see it as accountability, whether good or bad, should be held. Xb, kudos to gamepass; ps, excellent games. Ps, gt7 blackout was bad; xb, the xbl outage over the weekend was worse.

That's all, no favorites. Praise or condemnation when earned.

@4kgk2 and with them not on top, those games were less enjoyable?

@dimi "Its good that playstation is back in the top."
Why is that? Honest question.

It seems like a lot of companies are looking for that "cash cow". That one game that nets them hundreds of millions a year, but for every forknife, apex, warzone, destiny, ffxiv, etc., we have battleborn, hyperscape, babylons fall, avengers, etc. I hope that search doesn't hinder game development, on the other side.

That thumbnail triggered my thalassophobia 😬

@nomither6 I just realized your profile pic is of sonic's face. I thought it was an alien ninja chasing a tiny tornado😅😂

Probably something, but just forget the delayed games. Also before the summer, before the new tiers drop, right? Are they gonna hold everything back til the day of release, regarding the new sub?

As for the summer and games, etc., other than GoW Rag, what else is there for first party games? Third party games, whether exclusive or not, would be nice.

Putting the games on a service MIGHT deteriorate the quality of the game. Sure, who knows. The same could be said of a $69.99 price tag. I've heard and read from many that they would wait for a sale, etc. With sales numbers down, etc, couldnt that affect the amount invested and game quality, as well?

I feel that a bloodborne update would interfere with ps plans for a ps5 bloodborne remake, ala demon's souls. Why boost the framerate and resolution, for free, when you can charge $69.99 for it.

@Shigurui oh man. Didn't, but good to know. I can loan out my copies of the games in the collection, now.

Will it still be available to play even after it leaves the ps+collection? Or are the games in ps plus collection to keep forever, so long as you're a sub?

This or operation raccoon city?😬

When you have piles like the avengers and babylons fall, I guess mediocre successes like GotG and this, will get thrown out with the wash.

I think the demo/trials is a great idea, for users, that ps needs to better explain and implement. For all users, for starters. Second, does progress carry over? Third, are demo/trials of ALL games sold on the ps store($34+)?

Also, could forcing devs to make a demo/trial make some devs hesitant to publish on sony? Free couple of hours of overwatch 2 could be enough to not buy the game. The first few hours might have spoilers, etc.

Gaas is a good idea, technically. Make a great game, add to it consistently. Apex, warframe, destiny, lol, dota, etc, are great examples. The main point, in a lot of gaas' is the f2p aspect. If Sony sells a game at the full $70 price, don't expect a lot of people to buy AND add more. And if it's garbage, don't bother. Anthem, godfall, babylons fall, avengers are great examples.

Makes me wonder if any of the "ten forknife-esque games" will be of existing ps-exclusives. A bloodborne gaas with a elden ring-like open world. Is this why we haven't seen a factions game? They're turning it into a gaas?

Trophies/achievements are like the bells and whistles of the casino world. Nothing more than noises to entice us to play more. And bragging rights, I guess. "I platinumed bloodborne and you didnt, noob." It's not like we get a discount or gift certificate for reaching a milestone in trophies/achievements.

But on the flip side, whatever gets people, the most enjoyment out of their purchase. Trophies/achievements don't hurt nor bother me, so let others gather them up.

Out of 8 tests, I'm rocking a 40% average, so far😬

@UFCfan right??! First inflation, then energy and medical problems, now this? Stop being poor people, fcuk. There are REAL problems, like how am I to gas my jet??

I'm wondering if some games' controls will be updated, etc. Playing syphon filter, recently, forgot about the controls. L2/R2 is strafe, L1 is ads(sort of), R1 is lock-on, square is shoot, no jump. Left and right on the d-pad rotates character. Same with manhunt, right stick doesnt fully rotate the camera around. And with timesplitters and goldeneye(64), aiming was kind of a finicky thing, compared to modern shooters.

Read about this, a week ago, elsewhere. I'm sure it's a loophole closure thing, than a technical error.

I wonder if GoW rag or forsaken or GoTsushi 2 or spiderman 2, etc, will get the two hour trial treatment, as well.

I have a stupid question, how is the solar market in the uk? What with the weather, and all.

Seibu Cup Soccer was the last soccer game I played. How does fifa 22 stack up to that one?

@naruball "..Competition is what led MS to acquire all those publishers with ps (and switch) owners being unable to play many future installments in popular franchises."

Let's be honest, if MS didnt acquire zenimax and actiblizz, google, amazon or tencent would've. I'd rather those games and companies stay with a decent console maker, at least. And ps kinda started it all with paid timed exclusives. Also, I've heard from many here, that they "couldn't care less about Bethesda's buggy games". And it's not like the switch was clamoring for more CoD games. And yes competition is good for consumers, that's how we got a gamepass equivalent on ps.

Im sure stock has something to do with it and switch saturation. Not to mention the cheaper series s. With that said, good. Competition is good for consumers.

When stock matches demand and the exclusives start rolling in, then the games afoot.

@Milktastrophe thanks!

If you were a psnow subscriber, did you need ps+ or did psnow work just fine without it?

Will these games be available for purchase, outside of the program?

@FuzzieGinge88 mgs 2, 3, peacewalker and revengence are on the xbo ecosystem. I'm sure they're on the ps store, as well.

I just started this, after getting the ps5 upgrade, and it is gorgeous, fun and entertaining. My only negative is it feels like an elaborate QTE, at times. Seems like a lot of ps singleplayer games rely on QTE.

So, does that mean we can expect crossplay for tiny Tina's in 2025ish?

@lolwhatno "brb" is pretty bad. According to captain holt, "brb" has the same amount of syllables as "be right back", so it defeats the purpose.

I'm finishing sotn, then it's syphon filter 1/2, then tenchu. Syphon filter is a great series, hope it gets re-boot/make/master.

Linear or open world?

Does this use the ds4 6 axis motion sensing? That should make it, somewhat better?

I'm enjoying my time with tiny Tina's. As a spellcaster, the spells are awesome and bring something different to a, somewhat, stale gameplay. The d&d-esque humor is a nice change from the social media buffoonery of bl3. I'll wait til I finish the base game, if I feel an itch I might get the season pass when it's cheaper.

QUICK HEADS UP
Walmart+ members will get access to ps5s, tomorrow(april 19th) starting at 9am Pacific time

Gta iv released in 2008, red dead redemption in 2010, that was a quick turnaround for two great games.
Gta v in 2013 and rdr 2 in 2018. Considering how great both those games are, and how we probably want a bigger and better gta vi, some more development time is needed, with patience. Gta vi should be next year some time, hopefully. Barring any unseen circumstances. Besides, if gta vi released this year, I can imagine it being multiplat. As in base ps4/xbo AND ps5/xbsx.

Thank yous, sucker punch! A great game. Can't wait for the next game.

Thought of morphine's "you look like rain"

Lies of P or Steel Rising, get confused between these two.

Looking forward to this. Had it on the old cellphonetelephone, but got a new one. Then they or google removed it from the play store.

Rumor has it that some playstation vita and ps3 users are finding games and libraries inaccessible. I honestly didnt know, but there was an "expiration date" on the older digital games, on ps. A bug or something more...diabolical?

@Northern_munkey right?? Everyone wanted an actraiser remake/remaster, til they actually got it. Now it's all but forgotten.

So many remasters and remakes. I thought last gen was bad.

Elden ring being a great game and it being multiplat, gives it more of an audience to sell to. While hfw, albeit 120+ million ps4/5 in the wild, only has the one platform to sell on. So I'm sure everyone who wanted hfw at launch, bought it; while everyone else will wait for sales.

I wonder what price the ps5 "greatest hits" will sell for and when they'll come around.

It's coming, but at an additional $15, because... ..sony.
Or not, who knows, not i.

When cross-playing(?), with the faster loads on ps5s, does that mean those people are left wandering and waiting, while the ps4 players load?
