They already do have an answer to Game Pass - it's called Playstation Now and it's not that great and isn't available in a lot of countries.

I actually think Sony need to cut their losses with the PS3 games on Now, as this is probably the main reason it's not available worldwide. Do many people really stream those games? I'd imagine it's not huge numbers. That way, they can have a service like GamePass which is download only games and the money they save from paying to have PS3 games they can put towards better PS4/5 games on Now.

@Voltan Ubisoft are doing some sort of Rollerderby type thing I think, maybe that's what you're thinking of? Not sure if it's free or not though.

I like to have a driving game in the collection, just to vary things up for half hour every so often. Not massively into them, and certainly not very good at them though. I own DriveClub and have Dirt Rally 2.0 via Plus. Do I need Gran Turismo as well would anyone say? Is it MUCH better than Driveclub for instance (which seems pretty good to me from a 'not interested in cars in the slightest' place).

@Voltan I know the cut scenes in games are important to some people but I just hate it when there isn't at least the option to skip them. We don't all want to spend that long of our limited gaming time watching and not playing!

Loaded it up, have so far had to watch what seems like half an hour of unskippable cut scenes, so considering deleting it!

NMS is still a game that I really WANT to like and get into, and every so often I excitedly load it up and then......just get bored within 10 minutes and quit.

@nessisonett Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I'm not really target audience for these types of games. I have fairly limited gaming time generally due to the usual work/kids/wife! So I like quick pick up and play experiences that have some action in them, if that makes sense. Where I'm actually DOING something. Even if its Tony Hawk, or FIFA, or RDR2 or God of War or some smaller platformy indie thing. Otherwise I feel like I've wasted what little time I have by making barely any progress at something!

I think £26 is a good price though, so maybe at it's first discount I'll give it a go as I imagine it will be less than £20 at some point. i can justify that more!

Well that was nothing to get excited about was it. Hundreds of those games have been cheaper in previous sales, and the rest of them are still way over priced anyway! Or just flat out rubbish!

@nessisonett could you tell me, is this a point and click kind of thing, or do you actually move the character around via the sticks etc. Without sounding like a neanderthal, can I shoot or punch people using the controller and my own 'wits' or is it an XCOM style thing where I click somewhere and the AI does the rest?

Not that I'll get it any time soon after the early review on here!

I'd rather someone come out with a new version of Cannon Fodder to be honest. And Sensi Soccer as well whilst their at it!

Now we just need 2K to make a soccer game to also take on EA!

If, in two years, it has had some sort of NMS style renaissance, then I may pick it up for a tenner just to see what all the fuss is about.

I'd settle for Uncharted Lost Legacy and a relatively small indie game.

Downloaded my free upgrade today. Definitely loading quicker but can't say I've noticed much else different. And my save hasn't transferred over!!

@Stevethejedi all apart from Paper Beasts, Moss and Astro Bot I believe.

@Nifty Definitely. I went on the web browser version of the store, under the Play at Home section and clicked on each game individually 'Add to Library'.

Well, that looks rubbish!

@Paranoimia you can grab all the games and add them to your library, regardless if you play them or not. You never know, you may one day get a VR headset and you'll be glad you added Moss and Astro Bot then!

@C0NNERS just came here to say exactly that! I have an MLB via PS Plus I think, and I know nothing about baseball and haven't barely touched the game, but £3.99 is worth it just in case I stop subbing to Plus AND get in to baseball games all of a sudden!!

@sketchturner exactly! That's what I want to know.

I probably would pay a one-off, lowish fee for ALL of them but realistically, would I actually play any of the games? Probably not. Maybe some of the old PES games, GTA VC and SA, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. A handful of others. Then the novelty would wear off real quick and I'd never use it again.

This looks the same as American Fugitive in presentation and art style. Is it by the same creators?

Nice! Can't beat free stuff!

I rarely ever sit through cut scenes, let alone replay a game if I've finished it (which isn't very often)!

There's not enough hours in the day to replay stuff again. Same with films or TV shows. So much new content every 5 minutes, I can't rewatch stuff.

@StylesT I said 'i don't care' twice I think. Should I LIKE Bethesda games then? Nothing there of interest to me, sorry. I won't even notice they've gone because I simply don't play those types of games.

Couldn't care less. No love for Bethesda games anyway. Bit disappointed that I now won't be able to see if the Indiana Jones game is good (and if it is, even more disappointed I won't get to play it) but other than that I don't care. Wolfenstein is OK I guess, not into Doom, Fallout or Dishonored etc anyway though.

@Hyperluminal why?

@theheadofabroom I feel ya! Got mine Saturday and felt rough by that night and all day Sunday. Mostly back to 90% come today though.

The only criteria that could have made me want it wasn't met. Wireless. If I have to keep plugging long cables in etc then, no, it's not for me.

This would have to be VERY competitively priced for anyone to bother purchasing it. The first one is regularly in sales for £2-3 nowadays, and even Rise has been in sale for £5-7 sometimes. So Shadow will hit that point as well soon. So, unless this comes in at around £15 (which it won't) then it's a HUGE waste of money!!

If they were to chuck in some PS1 Tomb Raiders in the whole package maybe that would entice people?

I've had numerous FIFA's over the last 5-6 years and have NEVER played FUT until this year when I thought I'd finally try it out. At first I was baffled by what was going on but I soon got into it and it's really addictive (more addictive than enjoyable at times let's be honest).

I mainly play offline squad battles because I hate playing online (alhough I play some Rivals every so often). I have a great squad without spending any money whatsoever. I don't have any mega expensive cards or icons, but I have half a dozen players of the week and a Future Stars Saka. To be honest though, unless a player has pace they are useless in FIFA anyway.

Also, having played some Rivals this weekend, basically every oppostion you play against just quits out of the match before it can finish anyway. What's the point of that??

@danlk1ng I've not got past the first couple of missions on Control, so no idea what you're talking about! Is the boss called Tomassi?!! I need to invest more time into that game it seems!

Not for me. Can't stand spiky hair JRPG's, nor FPS puzzle games, nor Souls-eque games, and I don't have VR!

Oh well, plenty of other stuff to play!

@kyleforrester87 get that out of my face!!

Please no. Can't stand Japanese games with characters with stupid spiky hair.

Literally couldn't care less. Next question!

@LieutenantFatman That's a very good deal!

Good news, even if it just reduces load times. I have Deluzxe edition, so nothing to lose. I would rather the news had been the addition of THPS3 levels though!!

Unless it's wireless it's a hard pass from me. Sorry.

@Daleaf cool, so you used a code someone else could have had, even though you knew you wouldn't like it? Nice one.

The cosmetics in the 'season pass' are indeed dreadful. I just get them and quick sell them straightaway. You do also get plenty of packs in each season though to be fair. I enjoy FUT, only play offline and have never spent a penny on it. And, yes, I don't have Messi or Ronaldo or any legends, but I still have a damn good team of 85+ rated stars purely from earning packs etc, so I don't see it as a bad thing. Apart from the monotony and grind sometimes.

I really really REALLY want to like NMS but every time I load it up I get faced with another planet that looks like all the others, with not much to do on it, and ten minutes later I've quit again to play something with more 'direction'. Maybe it will click one day.

Might have to go back on this with my daughter. Might be fun!

I say this on every article of this ilk, but I'll say it again. Does anyone really NEED to play Ratchet & Clank, or any other game for that matter, THAT BADLY, that they can't just wait a year or two and buy it for £20, rather than £70? Surely if you buy digital, that's the way to do it isn't it? Most people's backlogs are big enough, or there are enough quality games they've probably not played that are always cheap in sales on the PS Store, for them not to need to rush out and spend £70 on a game on day one?

The only game that I buy each year at near full price is PES or FIFA to satisfy my football urge. Anything else, nah. I can wait and buy it for £10-15 usually.

The stadiums need to be smaller, it just feels empty at the moment.

It's really annoying and just ruins it for gamers. Much like the whole licensing thing between PES and FIFA.

I keep watching videos like this wondering what I'm missing. They all look the same to me! Sorry!

Bought it for £3.99 once upon a time, played it for all of 10 minutes and now it's sat somewhere in my library never to be seen again. RIP but you won't be missed.

I have FIFA 21 and recently bought the Star Wars bundle in a sale (Fallen Order, SWBF2 and Squadrons for £40) and my son has PvZ so have no interest in anything else on there to be honest. 79p is worth it though for most people to play through a couple of those games!

@TheIdleCritic to be fair you can usually get Mirror's Edge Catalyst in a sale for about 79p anyway!
