Re: PlayStation Now Update Adds Gravity Rush 2, LittleBigPlanet 3, and More

@BridgeToClarity aye, I know what you mean. I did take advantage of a reduced PS+ annual sub (£39.99), though when I looked at the games I would play in PS Now compared to what I already had (either bought or via PS+), there were a lot of duplicates.

PS Now works out at £7.08 a month if I bought the annual sub up front, which is much more palatable than £13 a month!

So, if I could get both for less than a tenner (even £9.99) that's better than the current full price of £11.25 pm but given the amount of game duplication, I'd probably want this for £8ish - but I know that may be unrealistic.

Darn me for having PS+ for a long time, lol. If I were a newbie to Playstation, I'd see this as a much better proposition.

there's a few games out of that list I'd certainly enjoy - Vampyr, Gravity Rush 2, Red Faction, though I half expect them to be on PS+ in the nexct couple of months.

If there was a PS+/Now merger, or discounted price for having them both, I'd snap it up as I've got the bandwith for PS Now. But as it stands, I can't justify the additional £13 per month given the amount of duplication across both services (I have been a PS+ member for several years now, so I appreciate not everyone will be in that position).

Re: Poll: What Are Your Most Anticipated PS4 Games for the Rest of 2019?

Really hyped for Star Wars, but it could be a major disappointment. I like the look of Greedfall. Struggled to pick the last one as a game I am looking forward to - the Doctor Who PSVR game - wasn’t in the list. So I picked Borderlands 3. Even if it’s not much different from B2, I’ll be happy as I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Re: No Man's Sky Beyond Patch 2.04 Fixes Some Nasty Crashing Issues on PS4

does anyone know if this fixes the loading issue whereby if you've got a PS4Pro and a HD tv with Supersampling turned ON, the game won't load? It took me three attempts at loading plus some interweb searching to discover I needed to turn that option OFF.

Still; once I'd disabled that option, I had a great couple of hours on NMS VRing away last night

@JJ2 I don’t get many platinums as I tend not to do online multiplayer stuff, and like you said, I won’t run around trying to find 9375 flags / joker teeth / coins etc. I’ll see how it goes in Days Gone. Here’s hoping for a sequel too!

I don't have either - I'm very pleased. I do have the two previous Sniper games (and Zombie Army Trilogy), so will enjoy these Plus additions.

Even if I did have them, both are high quality releases, so for those like me who don't own them, it's a good month.

@deadfred77 I agree ... Sensi was the best! (especially on the Amiga). I'm a sucker for OutRun style arcade racers, even if they're a bit naff. So I'll be giving this a go.

We got a PES game through PS+ a few years ago for the PS3, and other than a quick go at the initial trials, I never bothered with it. I'm probably not going to with this one, either ...
