Nothing new then apart from a pricing structure. This has all been reported before, just worded differently. The middle package is the PS4 games plus PS5 (eventually) tier, and the most expensive tier is ability to play PS1/2/3 games via streaming and cloud gaming on PC and hopefully phones. Grubb just regurgitating what we already know.
There was good deals for the PS5 version so that nobody was paying £70 for it. Also the ratio of sales just makes me think they wasted a good exclusive on cross platform thinking PS4 had the bigger market. The game is amazing and the detail in the PS5 version is incredible.
Never experienced the PS4 version for myself but I am loving the PS5 version and not experienced any massive bugs. Couple of moments of little glitches, like a pixilated computer screen so couldn't read the messages.
After the demo showing the vast scale, and then the creator being forced into retirement after rumours of harassment allegations came to light, I'm not surprised this is still in development hell.
FTC now looking at the Activision acquisition. I don't think Microsoft would go for anyone else until this has passed. Right now they have just spent $70billion and need to start seeing a return on that.
Understandably weird to have a remaster for the same console, but honestly, I recently played Life is Strange original on PS5 and it bloody well needs updated. Screen Tearing, slow down, audio lip sync glitches, pop in and other bugs. Didn't hinder my overall enjoyment of the story but it certainly showed its age. Would consider once on sale as didn't bother with the True Colors ultimate edition.
Sony's response should be bringing back its long line of franchises it has left alone for far too long. Syphon Filter, Resistance, Jak, Sly, Killzone, The Getaway, a lot of dormant franchises that could reasonably replace what Microsoft could make exclusive. Also buy Square Enix and Capcom, as well as Konami IPs.
Better get started on reviving Resistance, Killzone and SOCOM and for platformers we still have Jak, Sly and Ratchet. I would love to see Sony pump money back into those franchises as a reaction to this news.
I would prefer it if Sony bought Capcom, just so Microsoft doesn't. Cause it certainly seems that Microsoft would rather buy the competition than try to win it. Seriously, they haven't allowed any new acquisition to release anything yet.
Well if it isn't backwards compatible then it's definitely not a day one purchase for me. It's a shame that they won't patch some games for this new hardware. Terrible decision.
Am I the only one reading this as you have to pay £10 for EACH remaster? The blog post and the picture ad state that "if you have the DISCS, you have to insert THEM in order to download or play the new VERSIONS." So you only get Lost Legacy upgrade for £10 when insert the Lost Legacy disc.
Well done, Rockstar! Pull the previous ports from the store before gameplay for the new version is released. Release a badly optimised update for double the cost. Glad I didn't buy day one. Hopefully they sort it out.
I remember hearing the whole third Act was scaled back on the boss fights, and rather had you fighting each member of the sinister six individually. It would be great to see what they originally envisioned, but the game is fantastic without their inclusion.
@MickOnYourFace I just came here to comment the same. They have set up a separate listing for the plus version, much like FF7R earlier in the year, so that we can't get the PS5 upgrade for Free.
That is great! I don't understand why games don't add additional trophies for each expansion they release... looking at you Marvel's Avengers as one example.
My thinking is: Rockstar announce Remasters for current consoles and will be deleting old remasters from digital stores - new customers buy old remasters as they want the original experience. Price leaks for new remasters pushing people on the fence to purchase the old remasters thinking it's a bargain, as not much will change in gameplay and graphics. Rockstar release new remasters and not much has changed. Those few people thinking Rockstar would do an amazing update to each game are disappointed and wait for a sale.
Amazing how the bluepoint rumour about them remaking Metal Gear Solid gets shut down in one day of them announcing they are working on an original IP, that this new rumour of an MGS THREE remake is on the cards at another studio and the remasters are in progress. I'll take that bag of salt to go. Silent Hill rumours still ongoing...
I really don't want to see anymore right now. We have Midnight Suns, Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, Guardians of the Galaxy and the ongoing Avengers. Unless they can come up with some fitting gameplay and story ideas, they are wasting development on an original IP or even highlighting one of Sony's own franchises. I would hate for Naughty Dog to turn around and say they are spearheading an X-Men game, for example, as I would see that as a waste of their potential with their own original storytelling.
I really don't want to play collectibles -the video game again on PS5. I will platinum the ps4 versions on ps5 and be done with them. Imagine that the first big announcement of Naughty Dog's involvement on the PS5 is a repackaged remaster, and Insomniac already have their third and fourth title already lined up...
@Juanalf same! Happy to know when the character is coming but glad the showcase is more focused on other games. I don't need any ongoing game updates in the showcase.

Yeah the second year of Plus on PS5 has not been off to a great start.
Re: PS Plus February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
2 out of 3 ain't bad. Stop comparing a £180 a year subscription to a £50 a month subscription.

I think they're releasing everything we have ever asked for or secretly wished for.

I mean I love the game. But yeah, I am stuck at Biome 6 and just really tired of how frustratingly difficult the game can be.

Then I won't be getting it.
Re: The Elder Scrolls 6 Isn't Coming to PS5, But It's Not About 'Punishing Other Platforms'
I totally understand that Phil. I think we got that the first time it was confirmed and reported. No need to make another article about it.
Re: SteamWorld Headhunter Moves the Series to 3D in Third Person Co-Op Adventure
Had no idea they did an rpg called SteamQuest. Now I am annoyed it has never appeared on PlayStation.
Re: GTA Trilogy's PS5 Framerate Analysed, And It Ain't Pretty
Well done, Rockstar! Pull the previous ports from the store before gameplay for the new version is released. Release a badly optimised update for double the cost. Glad I didn't buy day one. Hopefully they sort it out.
Re: Where to Pre-Order Elden Ring on PS5, PS4
Preordered the collectors edition via Game Collection. Cannot wait!
Re: Insomniac Scaled Back Marvel's Spider-Man Boss to Cut Down on Crunch
I remember hearing the whole third Act was scaled back on the boss fights, and rather had you fighting each member of the sinister six individually. It would be great to see what they originally envisioned, but the game is fantastic without their inclusion.

I mean not every month is going to be great but I feel the last few months have been particularly bad.

Re: There's a Dicey inFAMOUS PS5 Rumour Doing the Rounds
If we're remastering a PS3 era collection then I would love a Resistance Trilogy. One franchise that passed me by and I think would do well again.
Re: Alan Wake Remastered Listed for PS5, PS4 Release on 5th October
YES YES YES!!! I have always wanted to play this game in full since getting a wee play of it on Xbox. Day one for me!
