Seems like they should just blend now and plus into one service. Instead of having a month to "get" the games, just add the games on the list of available games. Of course killing off a service means less money. But I think this unified service would be stronger than both being separate.
@Salohcin I think what bothers people is that a lot of devs are offering the next gen upgrade for free. So it doesn't seem like it's such a hard thing to do.
When the Devs from Control (that has been out for quite a while) locked the upgrade behind the most expensive version of the game, it was quite weird. And now, I guess people feel like more and more companies will follow
Yeah, I guess you can see this as "2 for 1". But so many companies are going down the free upgrade road. Why would it be so hard for others to do the same? Specially in a game that's gonna have loads of season, add ons, skins etc
@Kefka2589 exactly. Digital is for unbelievable deals that physical copies could never match. Or, that game that will be an important part of my collection. For single player games, like Uncharted franchise, once you're done... You're done. Might as well trade it for another game you're only gonna play for a couple of times as well.
It's like renting or owning a movie. Some movies I want to have in my collection. Others, I just wanna see it once and probably never again.
@RedShirtRod perhaps trying to push more and more people towards digital? Sony is making big bucks on the PS Store. Maybe a way to force a higher number of people to adopt digital but in a "discreet" way
What makes me even more worried is that Sony makes a lot of money off the ps store. I find it almost embarrassing how bad the whole thing is. I mean, PS4 is a hell of a machine, games are getting better and better, as we move towards a more digital future. And their own online store is this bad? For people to find stuff they might like is an effort. You either gotta know exactly what you want and grind a bit for it, or don't bother.
Now imagine making a game and going through this crap? Unbelievable....
I mentioned the same thing on the spider man article.
It really seems like a stretch to fill the main page with as many articles as possible. The basic information is THE SAME as the other article. Why not make one really big, in depth article about the Dual Sense?
I understand you wanted to give more room for the Spidey game. But to be honest, the last half is the same information found in another article, also posted today. Why not add the info of the 1st part in the other article? I really like this site, but sometimes there are unnecessary articles. I think that if you're gonna talk about this game in particular, perhaps you should at least reword the ending so it's not exactly the same. Kinda feels a bit copy and paste, and I feel like the overall quality of the site is way above that. Sorry
I think they will find a clever way to introduce MP. Just like everything in the game fit so well, I would expect to MP to as well. I'm super surprised by this announcement. Usually companies try to get more cash out of you, but they are bringing practically a new game. This is really cool.
I'm pretty excited to kill Mongols with my friends
To me, it just becomes clearer that it's affordable for Sony to remodel PS + and make it feel like you're getting more in return. Not only is Sony making heavy money, but also the competition is heading towards a "no fee for online". It not time to be greedy.
Nice line up. I don't have any, so big win. Cool to have the 3rd game. But if the 3rd game is THE thing for celebrating 10 years, I guess it'll be a missed opportunity to set the bar a bit higher and get people sicked to keep being a part of the service, specially at the end of a generation.
Also, did the other page stop existing? The article that talked about the 10 year anniversary? Was trying to read a reply there but kept getting directed here.. hahahah
I think Sony should make some changes in plus. Maybe some milestones, to make you want to always be active in plus. I don't know, maybe every month is worth some points, and each year is a milestone. Perhaps in 3 years you could exchange your points for extreme discounts on a game of your choice, or something like that.
We should be getting VR games, at least every other month. It adds value to the service, and can also help VR sales.
With 10 year anniversary, they should at least have special games for the next month. And 3, would be nice because they cut our monthly games down to 2
I think that, in general, PlayStation is quite week online. The ps store is a joke on PS4. It's easier to navigate through a cellphone, but it's still far away from being good. When we take in consideration the amount of money sony makes just from the ps store alone, I can't understand why aren't they investing more and making it better?
What I mean is that making two websites that cover two different regions, into just one... Seems like a clear message that, for the time being, they aren't willing to invest and develop their online platforms. I just hope they are saving the money to make ps5 as cheap as possible (I'm being ironic).
EA makes me worry. But the name Squadrons does make me excited. Rogue Squadron for N64 and Rogue Leader for GameCube were simply amazing. I hope it's not basically the same Battlefront 2 gameplay, though.
I understand the gameplay in the first game wasn't as smooth as you'd expect. But when I got used to it, it was fine for me. The mechanics worked fine once I was in tune with it.
The tense vibe either when you were going against humans or 'zombies' really got me on my toes at times.
All I see is an upgraded version, in every sense. The gruesome fighting is even better. Ellie is smaller and swifter, she brings new mechanics to the gameplay. Areas are huge (open world enough to use a horse), enemies wiser (I'm gonna kill dogs man).
I won't buy day one, because I'm broke. Last pre order was RDR2 (worth it). So now I'll probably only buy games on amazing sales. So yeah, LoU2, Ghost, Cyberpunk, and even Control and The star wars game are all for 2021 anyway.
It's hard to understand the line of thought when it comes do Ps plus games.
Wouldn't it had made more sense to maybe mix one of last month with one of this month? Both months would be more balanced out.
I already have BF2, but I would feel relieved for it to be one of the games, rather than another game no one will give a try.
It seems to be a good month. But zi think the overall bitter taste from previous months still lingers. We're reaching the end of a generation, while Sony had a huge community that has been committed to Plus for a long time. It's time for a heavy hitter.
@God_of_War_ I think that the best in this zombie phase you're going through, is that the styles of the game are different. Open world + zombies + lots of guns (not a loooot but enough for me) + pimp my ride
And I'm pretty into the stories of Sony's exclusive games. Although this is not one of the best stories ever, but it does it's part and fits well with everything else. Lemme know your thoughts when you play.
@God_of_War_ I really enjoyed the game. The hordes are very fun. I'd you think the price is good, then get it. I doubt you'll waste your time. Plus, I'm a fan of Sons of Anarchy too, couldn't help but feel like Jax riding after the world ended
@playstation1995 the first game was Joel's story. We play and watch him develop as a character. Playing with Ellie not only opens way for different gameplay mechanics but also story driven character growth. I understand and respect your opinion, but I am quite interested in this new take. We usually play with a big buff guy.
I'm sorry. I like this, and all... But "Sony breaks the silence" seems a bit too much for nothing. We're on the verge of the new generation of games, and we get this kind of news? I mean, it's cool... But whatever...
If the whole "breaks the silence" thing was supposed to be ironic, I'm sorry.
Of course I want to know everything there is to know about the ps5. But perhaps Microsoft is going balls out because they're trying to recover from the loss of this generation. So they're making a lot of noise.
What it Sony's plan is actually perfect? Yes, we're all anxious, but maybe that will make us consume all the information that comes out? I'm really hoping Sony dominates the next generation as well.
@Deanvon01 and if you don't care about ps+ games, why the heck are you commenting on a post made for people to express what they would like to see next month on ps+?
@Deanvon01 Damn. You are one rude kid. You sound like a spoiled 5 year old that didn't get the right color of Gameboy he wanted. Truth is, your opinion is irrelevant, because you have not 1% of capacity of explaining your POV without attacking someone else. And the simple idea that you seen to think that the whole world has money to buy games as soon as they come out... Makes me feel like you been spending your dad's money.
TF2 is not the issue. The problem is having 2 freebie and half the offering is a merchandise game for an energy drink. And the while TF2 would have made a great addition for plus, to gain it with Monster Bike whatever doesn't help at all.
I suggest anyone that hasn't played TF2 to try it out. Really great game. Truth is that TF2 deserved a better partner for it's plus month
@crazykcarter I know what you mean, bro. I have a 12 year old, and just had a baby boy last Sunday. I am surprised by the amount of games I can't find the time to play. Some great games I don't even begin with, because I know I won't have the time to dive in and actually advance in it. Probably I'll be getting the slim (and cheeper) version of the PS5
@jly1987 exactly... We should get at least 3 ps4 games (at least one AAA game) and greater, more significant discounts on the ps store. If they aren't gonna cut the price for the subscription, that's the only way to go. If we got more than 3 games a month, odds are we would start getting a lot of weak games no one really wants to play ( not even for free, I mean)
I think the thing is that the service provided a certain amount of free games. Now it's just two. So I think that they should have made the effort to have a good first month. Never played The Witness, but COD MW remastered should've been the second best game in the selection. They should've put one good game, this remaster and the witness. Then it would be decent
@Tha_Likely_Lad truth be told, specially due to years away from gaming (I'm 32) I'm a gold medal at sucking in most competitive games. Nevertheless, I have a lot of fun playing and most of the times laugh very hard at my own stupid mistakes. Can understand the need to cheat. I guess it's more about how other people will perceive you etc
Ok, I actually made an account just to leave my opinion:
Of course a full game is the best way to go. I'm looking forward to the sequel as well. But, as they took so much time creating this new world, gameplay, lore and etc... And specially since they left 2 world beyond reach in the game, O think a dlc would be awesome. Not in the sense that it needs one to complement the story. But waiting what? 4 years for another full game to come out? And then we get to go to the other realms? They could do a decent size dlc, tell more story, give us some fun and make some money. While they still develop the next big thing. Probably the next GoW is gonna be for ps5, right? Doesn't seem quite fair to have to wait and then buy the next gen to b able to get back to this amazing story
