Thankfully nothing to add to the backlog this month, which seems rather silly saying but it's getting too big. Already have BL3 in backlog, personally no interest in among us, as don't like graphic style or multilayer games, and although NHL is probably good, I didn't really play the previous ones on plus despite loving it back in the megadrive days. I like the occasional match in fifa as I love footy and used to love the footy games but just don't have spare time to commit to those one offs and single games nowadays.

@Impossibilium I am not sure which list I have checked, bit will definitely use that one now as my spot check. What I had initially done, was go to store, all games in a to z order and then go through ticking off on the sheet.
So green for those showing full game purchased
Orange as delisted so not in store and therefore check against downloads
Blue where it's now showing trial purchased but main game as required to buy.

Therefore I need to go through orange and blue in my downloads. I think I have used the one you said in the past, when downloading something back to my hard drive, but I may have used the store one when I was doing this exercise to save coming out of the store app and going back in.
Thank you for the tip though, much appreciated

@MrMagic yes and they are never together either. Wish me luck, I think the download list is around 1500 with lots of nonsense to check through

@MrMagic I am uk too. So no idea what's going on. Going to have to do the painful download list first. You forget how archaic that was on ps3 and how much better ps4 and ps5 did it

How does it compare to ps3 version. I have it but haven't played it. I know with sly game and jak games, the hd collections were supposedly superior to the ps4 emulated ps2 games

I am wondering if games get delisted and then reinstated, whether it is a different version and that is causing an issue. Only speculating but it's a pain.

I have the same issue with sonic cd

@MrMagic tried that, even restored licences on ps3, ps4, ps5 consoles but nothing. Its a painstaking exercise but I am not rebuying. I will raise with sony and if no joy find out next steps

@BetaRabbit64 I am on the ps3, and in the physical ps3 store. It shows other games I have purchased as purchased. But there is a number that now state purchased for the trial version and the main game I need to purchase again. I am currently going through the store and ticking off the 300+ digital games that show in the store as purchased or not purchased, and if they have been delisted I now have to go through the horrendous ps3 download list, that you can't search, filter or sort. Not only that it has the vita library mixed in. But once I have built up my list of issues I will contact sony.

@Arnna yes I have started buying up loads of ps3 games recently building out that library because no chance what I bought will appear on ps plus. However going through I noticed games I owned on the ps3 store now saying I needed to buy. They also have epic mickey 2. That's next on my list

Out of interest, did anyone ever own the digitsl version of castle of illusion remake on ps3. My purchase of the game has changed to trial only and now prompts me to buy. I know I had full game as I have the trophies for completing it.
I then started going through my spreadsheet (very sad I know but I need to keep.track) of my ps3 digital library, both ps plus and purchased and I have quite a few games that now show as trial versions only. Again I have not cancelled ps plus, and bought most games, plus I have trophies for completing. Plus I never download trials. I have restored licences but to no avail.

Does it matter if games come to current only or rival platforms? If the games turn out to be great, can't we just enjoy them on our console of choice. If it be last generation, then you have to settle for an inferior version. If it be xbox, then you settle for series s standard (as that's the most popular.version) or maybe enhanced series x. Games are planned for the masses. I think most games that come out nowadays are far superior to our tinted glasses games of yesteryear. I know as I am playing loads of classics in the back catalogue and even these are enhanced remasters etc.

Ok that means I need to drop the other 8 games I am currently playing through to start tiny tina, no point in paying for increased service and then missing out on the games on wish list and I don't want to have to buy full game

I will happily admit I watch tutorials and read guides. One due to playtime limitations, two there's no real indication of what things do and where to do it in their games, three to maintain fun, lack of progression can put you off. Also just because you watch and read tutorials, does not mean you can actually do the things, one f up and your dead. Lol

Why do they never give us the ps2 versions of psp games

Ffs - I just bought Monster Hunter Rise in the sale last week. Mind you it was with the expansion and I'm guessing this version doesn't have the dlc. I am hoping it don't otherwise thats 16.59 wasted

Serves me right, up until last week, I had stopped buying ps4 and ps5 games due to the backlog and the fact those on my wishlist ended up on plus in one way or another.

I will stick to buying ps3 games and build up my digital collection as the dvd drive is a little dodgy now after 14 years

Happy about Daxter though, just hope secret agent clank is next.

I live and breathe playstation but damn, today's xbox show really showed up sony marketing department. I will not jump ship especially with my backlog of smash hits to play (i literally just added 5 more ps3 gamws to it) but I need the excitement of what is to come for the ps5. I don't even need games, I just want the ability to play streamed games on portal (even if they restrict to owned games) but I wished they would just emulate ps3 software so I can play my collection

@ShogunRok it's more the bloated grind and chore that normally goes with this. Dont get me wrong I like do tasks but I dont like having to repeat something just to progress

Didn't realise this is free to play. That puts worry in mind

Return of the cgi trailers again. And more updates on the same sort of fps hero shooter or world creating / cooking games. It completely kills the excitement, as we are not seeing anything truly new. I am so glad I have amassed a back catalogue of over 150 games over ps3 / ps4 / ps5, not to mention the games added to ps plus extra and premium. I actually get excited for starrtng new old games.

One thing I would hope they do, is actually have voice work. I mean they could use AI to do that. The talking and reading got on my nerves.

I dont bloody believe this. Never thought this would get a remake. I am currently doing this as part of my backlog, its a great game but it is tough in areas, especially with the poor camera and fps making simple things hard. I am just currently finding the last of the leafs and those bloody carts before I finish the last boss so.i can get the platinum. I.am not starting this over agian

I am well happy. Always wanted to play streets of rage 4 but didn't want to fork out for it. And then spongebob for me and my little girl is going be great as she loved bikini bottom. Not overly bothered with the wrestling game but looks old school so might be up my street. Nice quick games instead of slug fest

Can't believe I was excited for this show. Will get Astro Bot, really got hyped at the start for concorde and it just turned out to be a reskinned destiny deathwatch, gutted, because if it had been a full on reskinned pve destiny with that story I would love it. Silent Hill looks bad remake. And we are just getting killed with soulslike games, they all are blurring into one now.

If everyone jumped on board the xbox train for this, it would devastate the industry. Think about it, if ps players currently whether it be ps4 or ps5, jumped to xbox and gamepass, then not only would cod sales fall through the roof, but all the third party releases be it day one or older sales would also fall through the rood because of then being on gamepass. There would not be enough income to support all these games being available on a single prescription, as both ea play and ubisoft are already part of gamepass. Sony wouldn't be able to compete and most of its studios would be closed or sold off, meaning lots of ip disappearing. Dont want to be bringer of bad news but/that's is what will happen. Note I don't want xbox to leave the industry either.

I would be interested to know what is the most played feature on COD. Is it the old school multilayer and zombies, or is it now tur f2p warzone. If its the latter, then I can't see any new subscribers to gamepass, as those who play warzone already have it. UNLESS they create a new tier of Game Pass for COD. So they don't put up the prices of current gp bit introduce a new tier so technically its keeping promise.
I just can't see someone forking out for new xbox just to pay gamepass just to play cod. If that was the case, the would butcher their own xbox sales for anything they plan to release on ps as it would be free on game pass. This would also then pee off third parties, because if ps players moved to xbox for cod, they would get a lot of third party games for free and therefore massive loss of sales.

How can the first collection be lower than both of the games in said collection. I know the versions singularly are ps2 vrs ps3 collection but the collections were hd up and nothing else different? Therefore bring superior

Looks way too fast and frantic for my liking. Lol

I would have thought xdefiant would have been the one to be dropped rather than an established ip that has a clear fan base. I would have played more division, but I won't play another fps online shooter.

Considering how many good games are being removed as well. This is actually quite bad.

Nothing for me. Other than probably having red dead stored on ps5 hardrive rather than disk.
Back catalogue is safe for now

Well I can understand PC and NS as they sell games, unless xbox is throwing money at day one gamepass, but that would be unlikely right now

I couldn't care less where games get released now. In the 90s and early 2000s most consoles were unique and you very rarely has the same game on different consoles. Even 3rd party games were either different versions altogether or different additions. Nowadays third parties are pretty much parity just resolution differences. And once I committed to a digital library and trophy hunting I wouldn't move ecosystem. I am playstation by habit, but I do love the habit. I won't everyone to experience the games so we can talk about them. I miss some games like halo back in the day, so if they come across, the better

@AFCC yes I used to play mainly single player, and you team up in some events naturally for strikes etc. It was a great back in the day that got very convoluted with its systems over time but I think they were stripping a lot out.
Trouble is they stripped out too much including the original campaign and dlc that we all paid for

Games are games and these are exclusives so it doesn't matter who has developed them as longas they are good quality. Aside from foamstars I haven't seen a lot wrong with what's been released and these have generated excitement and mostly met the excitement.

I love mine. I had the kishi razor 2 before but that felt wrong and too small. This is perfect and I actually prefer playing on it than on the big screen especially for older back catalogue games. It has probably doubled my playtime.

Knew I shouldn't have bought ea fc24 last month when it was cheap. Especially as I haven't played it yet. I didn't take the gamble on destiny so at least I have benefited there. Haven't played first ghost runner yet but will definitely try it out. Good month really

How about unlocking the vault? And giving us back everything we paid for

Think ubisoft better leave the England setting alone, keeps killing off the franchises and requires a reboot, ac syndicate and watch dog legions. Do they dare do ghost recon, far cry or division in an English setting. Even though ac valhalla did well it caused a lot of fatigue foe ac rpgs

Waiting for ps5 upgrade later in the year but snagged it at reduced price error at release.

Will get day 1 as the improvements the pro had on ps4 games was great to me and the ps5 has been better on the ps4 games. I got such a back log of games, playing them at the best they could be is what I want.

They need to find a way to release the content vault now that they know the THE FINAL SHAPE is the end of the campaigns. They physically know the final size of the game in total. Plus they promised they would have the content come back and to my knowledge nothing has so far.
I loved the game but that killed it for me.

Helldivers 2 is the only one I bought, although I do want many of the others. And that is because its a game that depends on player count verses a single player game that can be played any other time.

In fairness, the same polling audience said they weren't interested in the Portal, and it was a sellout. Same people bugged up the PSVR2 and that sold badly. Same in reality for PSVita and TV and they sold relatively bad. Point being never trust the polls

Wanted immortals and knew I could wait this one out. Saves some money there

The sound improvements are great. Gave me a heart attack the first time it kicked in lolz

Literally completed this on Tuesday and got the platinum and didn't delete in case there was some additional playable content or at least some mention of some dlc like the first. But gonna delete now and make way for the inevitable backlog that comes with plus extra/premium

I thought wow when I saw rhe opening cinematics thinking it was in game engine. Only to be disappointed by the generic look. I know I won't be only one put off by the generic look

Think I will.wait for this on plus or ea play when the offer comes on again

Wasn't keen on what I saw to be honest
