@Korgo You were sadly disappointed with first one and finished it? If the best you can put up is intentionally finishing a disappointing 100+ hour epic then...I...I...<incoherent mumblings> 😋
@RevGaming You do know if you hold the analogue pad more in the extreme he starts running don't you? If you've been 'walking' ANYWHERE in the game that's on you 😝
But yes, that's your opinion so we'll leave it at that.
Also, Sony have been like this since ps5 launch. Stealth dropping features. I remember the hullabaloo regarding PS4 back-compat. Cerny said the top 100 games will all work. Turns out within like a week or two pretty much 4000+ worked. The joy at finding all this out is the other side of the coin of not communicating. 😋
Some games it will be very easy to add trophies to depending if the save game in question is tracking specific events in-game. But unusual trophies may be harder to do.
Guys when you actually think about this...Extra is phenomenal value for money.
It has pretty much EVERYTHING Plus and Now has and a boatload more including now year old ps5 games.
I feel this is a powerful move to also win over Xbox players. They have argued that a good quality subscription service with great games is a win-win. Well with extra you get pretty much ALL PS4 and year old ps5 games bundled. This is Plus Collection and new games not on yet. This will bring non-ps players into the fold of playing the great ps games the rest of us all have been playing and also getting those same players to expect more from ms studios.
There are probably MANY more announcements to come before next month as well.
Can't wait!
Ps:. It can't hurt that the phenomenal demon's souls remake is now on there too, to mop up new Elden ring fans.
@nomither6 ...and I have the freedom to take part in a managed online environment. Not to mention all the PSplus discounts that come with that small fee. Oh and switching off pc crossplay. What about the free PSplus games too? The cloud save stuff? The psplus collection on ps5? See all the freedom I have in using that service?
@nomither6 Regarding paywall for online. Your dealing with a ring-fenced system. That takes resources to manage. Try playing in the wild-west of free pc online play. You don't know if your dealing with an outright cheater or trying to hack your personal details.
@themightyant Contrary to me where Id prefer to defeat the bosses with the death of a thousand soggy whacks 😋. That will explain me being over 200+ hours on the first playthrough of Elden ring...
@redapt Exactly...people interested in trophies can't really show off these platinums for lesser games because we all know platinum difficulty of bigger games.
@AdamNovice No he's right, Sony should hand one of the most prestigious racing games on the planet to a studio who don't make racing games whatsoever and whom the staff have no real interest. What could possibly go wrong? 🧐😂
@TooBarFoo ...but your right regarding the more abstract trophies. If the code on original hardware for instance isn't checking for obscure events then it also won't be logging them so adding trophies for those would be difficult. Maybe the actual emulator would have a profile per game for the emulator to keep check on these events? But I don't think it's simple to do that...not impossible mind if you have a dedicated fanbase of ROM hackers and emulation purists who have already plunged into these icy depths.
@TooBarFoo if I'm not mistaken, pc emulators have trophies for PS1 and PS2 games so somebody somewhere has done this work...it's a matter of Sony finding the people and reimbursing them.
@jrt87 Plus the updated versions of each game seem to be custom built based on Christian Whitehead's painstakingly made engine derived from systematic observation of the originals. This is not just ROMs.
Also, if this collection is perfect it would be the definitive sonic one. No need to buy in the future on differing devices(assuming all consoles now being made at least emulate PS4+xbo era)
@Hydra_Spectre Yeah, mania is an astounding love letter and I agree Christian has the proper credentials and competence to be a key figure on the Dev team.
@Rural-Bandit I think one of the biggest draws for me is (hopefully) finally allowing the sonic 3 knuckles combo to work as fully intended. I might be wrong but I'm sure the Saturn sonic collection game had the feature...I'm even remembering the graphics of the sonic3 inserting smoothly with s+k cartridge? Maybe this is why we don't have a Saturn emulator on consoles 🧐🙈
@Grumblevolcano Imagine they did nights original with like unreal 5...even if it's not unreal 5 they could make it absolutely glorious. Keep the OST though 🧐😂
@ChromaticDracula I understand the principle totally. And the time when stuff is unavailable IS annoying. I but mostly digital these days, but a server outage usually means licences can't be authenticated which is a pain. As long as the downtime isn't too severe or sporadic I'll allow it. Is it right that you can play gt7 offline but your race scores will not be counted? If not they should allow personal bests offline but only online races count in leaderboards and things. That might be a nice balance if it's not like that already.
@ChromaticDracula Just out of interest mate, how do you deal with all the game patches and ps updates without internet? I'm not trolling, just wanting to know why somebodies console merely being online is such an issue when everything is relatively online these days...

Tomb raider games please!!!
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?
@Bonito That's fair enough.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?
@DaveSimonH Plus all the newer ps5 games that weren't on plus or now.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?
@Bonito This is the argument that gamepass players all use. All those games!!!

Re: Reaction: Sony's Positive PS Plus Reboot Proves the Value of Catalogues
@Deoxyr1bose I bought a ton of PS1 games on my PS3 so I'm stoked they will be added to my list(through time) on the ps5 😋
Re: Reaction: Sony's Positive PS Plus Reboot Proves the Value of Catalogues
@jmac1686 Sony is all about surprises. I doubt we are seeing the best. They make very little fanfare. I think it's an awesome shakeup of PSplus+now.

Re: Pay for PS5, PS4 Platinum Trophies Is Rampant on PS Store Right Now
@Mossbergs I thought it was tied to the price of the game on launch?

@huyi My best reason is sonic3+k.
Re: Sonic Origins Age Rating and Artwork Suggest It's Almost Ready to Roll
@DualWielding I'll get it either way but a great trophy set would be icing on the cake. Not those ridiculous sega collection trophies.

Re: PS3 Emulation Allegedly in Production for PS5
Issues of the day:
Sony prioritizing tricky emulation.
Or
Microsoft boss buying lions share of agricultural US land and refusing to grow food on it for the people at the start of the 'great reset'.
EDIT:. Even seeing it written down I bet loads of people have pitchforks out for the former, and next to no sentiment for the latter.
