Not no one. I accept it. Got premium on discount anyway. Tried Syphon Filter among classic offerings, noted the controls did not age well. So yes I have 0 interest in classic games and this doesn't bother me at all
Moaners need to find a reason to keep moaning. Forced bundle blah blah. Rarely heard anything from actual buyers. In fact this practice is quite common and HZD is a great game to be bundled with. The usual folks flock here to moan every week this news come up. Yeah yeah we already get your point.
Fantastic offering. Meanwhile, Xbox GWG offers random independent games which include a game given away previously and that was not even the first time.
And you made a mountain out of a molehill when the new PS extra launched in Asia- like how people were asked for money for the previous discount. Fair enough but now Sony is offering a very cheap upgrade price for the existing PS plus users? Where is the news? No single news about that at all.
I finished the original multiple times back then. The new remake, while lacking some places from the previous game, is still a great game. In a way, the experience is tighter with a more relentless pursuit of Nemesis. I would say this is better or at least as good as the original. People just talking down because it didn't include all things from the old game.. For me it is the whole experience, not stay true to old game nor the overall game length.
@Shepherd_Tallon They have been hiding successfully behind the game pass. It is a good value service (especially the vast majority use the loophole of upgrading with 1$) but mainly offering 3rd party independent games (day 1 release). Some people just ignore they have been offering really rubbish games on games with gold for a long time (since gp launch).
I guess only minority will play those retro games. While I grew up with most of these games, I am already spoiled by modern games. I don’t even replay Mario 3/Donkey Kong- the most memorable games for me.
I am really excited about this. This may be similar to Division but on steroids with a more engrossing story, crafting and stuff. As other said, this become much bigger than initially planned and become a standalone project
The effect looks better than the ill-fated welcome to Raccoon one. It is better to have their own stories rather than be very faithful to games IMHO. The first original RE film has a similar feel to the game though.
@kpenders Must have so much free time for xbox fanboy to troll here. Your responses have been quite deviating from the news and original point. You said every COD entries been selling 30-40 millions. Thing is the later entries barely sold 20. I brought up Elden ring just to pint iut the figure (basically less than 12-13 million, a far cry from your claim, it is still massive figure). Thing is I couldn’t care less about cod. Stay on point with your arguement by the way
@kpenders Yeah COD is waning popularity with each year. Like you said, it doesn’t matter as it is still multiplat including PlayStation from what they said. And hey it is the executives who are not happy with COD sale. Its number are still enormous (although personally i only own given out free on Ps plus and yet never play). You don't need to tell me about its popularity, comparing multiplat with a sony exclusive. (Although you inflate the number, they never sold 40 million for each entry, the last one was outsold by Elden ring at 13 million). Not sure why you only mention Bungie as there are many other first party studios. Died in 2028, i don't think so, man. MLB sports being a multiplat is no surprising. Even if they simultaneously release their first party on PC, no way Playstattion would die.
If I learn something, it is that games that debut on one subscription service are eventually given out free to other subscription services or sold very cheap- like Street of Rage 4 or Hades. Hence I never buy them at launch.
@Shepherd_Tallon I saw in a Facebook group. They are from the Singapore region. One has 6 months, and one has about a year of ps plus left. Both of them offered half price for ps extra and deluxe (half of the normal upgrade price- 25 SGD for 6 months deluxe/ 18 SGD for extra tier). Shame I can't share a screenshot here. I agree. While Sony has to bear some blame, this site is now filled with a lot of haters who moan and blow up everything.
Saw a lot of people get a 50% discount on upgrades to higher tiers from essential ps plus one. So the above is not entirely accurate or does not affect all regions. Or only affecting those recently stacked through loopholes.
@Northern_munkey There is no hostility. Sorry if you think so. Maybe you didn't read the news. You can't play offline if you don't sign in after a week. That's all. Nowhere it is mentioned, that they will remove the titles if you don't sign in for a week. You don't need to worry about signing in regularly at all.
@meistergeister Total BS comment. This is very different from MS proposition back then. They ask for an internet connection when you play the disc you own. And the much-praised GP games, you can't even play them without the internet, let alone for a week.
@Northern_munkey It really doesn't make sense why you even raise this question. I don't know what you are even worried about? I really wonder if some of you guys are just here to troll on Sony or if you guys have a genuine concern. If you go on holiday, you don't play games, then what are you worried about? You return home, you can pick up where you left off. If your sub expires when you are away, you resub when you back and then continue where you left off. If you brought your console on holiday, you connect to hotel wifi or phone tethering after a week. If you brought your console to the holiday destination where there is no internet at all, then it is a different matter and you consider to play the games you own in that case.
Great line up. Moaners will always moan no matter what. What’s wrong with including games from ps now and previous ps plus. Not all people subscribe ps plus that particular time. Yes I am a subscriber since 2016 and have about 400-500 games in my library, even for me there are a lot of games I am interested in. For PS now, if you don’t know, it has more or less similar games as game pass, yeah the one you keep praising no matter what. In fact, PlayStation first party games are much stronger (except you want to drive multiple variations of Forza). While the promise of gp day 1 first party games is good, also remember Microsoft has only released a handful of first party AAA games since gp launch, not to mention some, if not most are not well received.
Calm down. There will be more classic games. It is not like Sony own all these classic games. There are a lot of licensing issues. But apart from nostalgic reason, personally playing those old titles in Full/ultra HD TV is not great.
Would be great if Sony buys Square Enix and Konami. It would consolidate Japanese companies. Japanese companies own a lot of nostalgic titles. FF 14 is doing very well and in line with Sony's ambition of more live service games. I would want to spend money on Japanese companies rather than Bungie. Only the Tomb Raider is big IP on this list. It is not expensive for Sony or Microsoft but employment of 1100 people can be costly and it may be seen as monopoly if they have further acquisitions in mind.
As always, focus on the negative and generate angry responses and views. I remember how many articles you create when sony change their store. No wishlist, no image of games blah blah. They fixed them relatively quickly. There will be some teething issues initially and it is totally justifiable to talk about them. But making the a lot of similar news again and again (Like 10-15 articles about no Bethesda games for PS) is ridiculous.
@gomersoul I have PS now, and happy with upgrading to premium. Why you speak for others if you dont have any subscription. PS now sub was reduced to 45$ a year and now offered to upgrade to premium. What did i lose?
Ghost of Tushima Legends is quite deep and fantastic game. It should be on this list. Haven’t bought single player yet but I am now level 120 with Samurai.
It has improved significantly. Now the gameplay is really nice. I guess the game would be ready by next season as the offline mode is really limited now. I play co-op with my bro (against CPU Man U) and it is currently not available. Even the offline mode is still very limited, how difficult to allow us to play more than 5 min. But I am really excited for the comeback. Never a FIFA fan.
Just tried the racing wheel today with wreckfast, dirt 5 and dirt rally 2. IT is really not easy using it. Maybe I don't have a proper chair. Better to just use the controller.
If successful, that will become a money tree. So they will throw everything and see what sticks. Apart from Fornite, (to some extent PUBG as being the first Royale game, Apex, COD, Genshin impact and fall guys) other free live service games are not doing very well. I hope we got another when Factions 2 launch. Would be nice if given free to all PS plus tier members
I might be the minority or majority. Although I grew up with PS1 and 2, I am not keen to replay the retro games. Remastered is a different matter but I am not even interested in my favourite GTA- vice city despite it being free on PS Now. I don't even replay my childhood best games- Super Mario 3 and Donkey Kong on the Switch. The voice of critics is surely loud, but they might just be the minority. Really would like to know the data from Xbox backward compatible games.
Expect more games like these going forward. They will make higher tiers more attractive by keeping big games for those services. This is the upcoming Xbox Games with Gold- April 2022) - Another Sight, Hue, Outpost Kaloki X, MX vs ATV Alive. Microsoft has been giving rubbish months after months but they are getting away with it as people only care about gp.
The landscape has changed since PS5 launch since last year. Sony has been following Nintendo in terms of first party titles. (Microsoft is not relevant here as only very few would buy their first party anyway given availability on gp). As Sony sell digital version PS5 at a loss, they will try to recoup it and now with new ps plus service, there is even more reason to give little discount to digital versions. I would still buy digital as I can share with my siblings. (If you have ps4 playing friends, you can share extra too).
Don’t expect it will be the same as GP. Otherwise you will be disappointed. Microsoft is using the money from their other business which Sony simply don’t have. Then again Microsoft only have a very few first party games since GP launch and some people didn’t notice about it.
@Fuzzymonkeyfunk Currently 1 month sub fee is the same 9.99$. It is always the same with all sub service that you get cheaper price for annual sub. There is nothing new here
