The Star Wars brand is large enough world-building-wise and genre-wise, that this can go down really well if they play their cards right. I mean this is essentially how it was about 20 years ago, with the huge influx of games both good and bad as the prequels were releasing.

I’m personally incredibly excited for Jedi: Survivor next year, but anything else on the slate is way too far off for me to get excited about yet.

Can you confirm which version of Toy Story 3 is hitting the service? A previous article implied the PSP version, but this article links to the PS3 version.

Hoping for the latter, easily one of my favorite console licensed games of the era! Played the heck out of it with my little bros on Wii.

I'm getting antsy for details on the sequel! Although at this point I would be wholly unsurprised if it got delayed beyond 2023 (as much as I hate to admit it)

The burning Elmo-clicker is such a winner

Good to hear. I have a slew of untouched PS VR games stacked up in the library thanks to PS Plus, but don't think it's worth picking up the original headset this late in the game. Really hoping for access to most if not all of them so I could try a lot right away.

The PSP version of Toy Story 3 is especially odd to me?? PS3 version is great fun and one of the most solid movie tie-ins of that generation, I’ve just never heard very good things about the portable counterparts…

@GreatAuk Interesting point. An argument can certainly be made for it to feel like pandering more than anything when the context feels so removed from the established world and its rules. It’s a fine line to cross; I’m not very familiar with the Horizon games at all but I haven’t heard much in the realm of meaningful representation pertaining to sexuality in these games. Throwing in something like that just to pat themselves on the back is an unsettling idea, but I’m hoping that’s not the only reason they chose to include it.

@Northern_munkey Yeah you probably would, because white heterosexual males aren’t an oppressed minority. Please don’t use the Push Square comment section of all places to stir something up like that

@thefourfoldroot1 Seems meant to be a symbol of personal expression here much more so than a political statement…

I would absolutely lose it if Spider-Man 2 was somehow revealed to be a co-op campaign between Peter and Miles. The mechanics of something like It Takes Two and A Way Out mixed with the fantastic gameplay of the first two Spidey games probably sounds much better on paper than it would be in execution…but let me dream, darn it!

Downloaded this morning with PS Plus! Miss my family’s two little cats (who lacked the most creative of names, literally “Stimpy” and “Kitty”). Very excited for this one!

Others are already touching on this, but does anyone have a suggestion of where I can start off with MGS 1? Would love to play 2 and 3 eventually, but def don’t wanna start with those. I only have a PS5 but it would be great if they at least added the PS1 version alongside their other retro titles…

Still in the minority here but I’m remaining optimistic for this one. I’m just a sucker for a pretty trek through Middle Earth. Will probably wait for reviews but I really want this to be good and hopefully surprise all the naysayers.

Wow!! I can’t claim to be a part of that community myself, but I’m always so blown away by projects like this. Clearly a lot of passion and hard work to yield a very beautiful end result.

Mostly stoked for Crash like the majority. Finally got around to the trilogy on Switch last year, so this is great timing for me personally!

@nessisonett KA-CHIGGA

That is some stellar pricing for the DLC! I have the base game on Switch so I’ll pick it up on there, hoping to play through with my bro during our summer downtime

I literally just played the PS4 remaster for the first time at the end of last year, right before the rumors began to pick up speed for this version. This was thanks to the PS Plus Collection on my PS5. For me, it’s too soon, but I guess I can see it being a different case for those who picked up that version nearly eight years ago now. It just doesn’t seem like a $70-dollar-worthy upgrade after getting ahold of the solid, slick last-gen offering for next to nothing.

The difference in response between these comments and Nintendo Life’s is astronomical🤣 Loving the positivity over here, friends! I think some disappointment is fair but this does seem like a relatively minor issue in the grand scheme of things.

Genuinely thought I somehow missed a second entry, so thanks for the explanation haha. I had a lot of fun with the original and its spin-offs on mobile (yes, really) several years back so I’ll keep an eye on this one!

Beyond happy to hear that Troy and Ashley are being incorporated! I always love when franchises respect their actors like this.

This is extremely cool. I love when developers listen and respond to feedback like this. And they have some seriously deep cuts in here, it's gonna be great to hear some of those classic voices reprised! Looking forward to giving this one a go with PS Plus. If the gameplay clicks for me, I'll probably jump on the DLC as well.

I'd had my eye on Nickelodeon, so that'll be a fun one to try for sure! Haven't played a Naruto game in probably a decade so that could be interesting to check out as well. God of War is obviously an irrelevant inclusion for most, but will be nice for the three people who don't already have it yet I guess.

Would love to give this one a go eventually. Total TWD novice here, do I need an understanding of the TV show or anything else to get the most enjoyment out of the games?

I'm here for it! Lots of great Star Wars content to look forward to on PS5, it seems. I totally understand the hesitation related to the franchise becoming oversaturated, but I personally really dig the MCU-style interconnectedness and gap-filling/plothole-filling strategy that's been behind a lot of the recent shows and games. Just such a fun world to get lost in, even despite the varying levels of quality

I love the originals. The latest Crazy Taxi was a terribly disappointing mobile game. Please just stay true to what made those titles great in the first place.

Okay, let's see it!

“Let Me Solo Her” would like to have a few words

Mad respect for Elden Ring and Forbidden West, but I'm waiting on the latter until I beat Zero Dawn, and the former's just not my cup of tea. So, not the most popular choice by a long shot, but LEGO Skywalker Saga has me BEYOND hooked. Probably won't actually take home any GOTY awards, but at least a "Best Family Game" or two, no?

@Elodin They have it at the bottom of the article!

No luck with the US link here...

Edit: Going through Push Square's link gave me the error, but the one on Twitter got me through!

@nessisonett That’s offensive to The Muppets!

Good to know! Desperately trying to finesse a 12-Month USA PS Now Sub so I can just hop on the Premium train for less, but those things disappeared FAST. Might have to settle for Essential if I can’t find one…

Oh nice, SpongeBob’s been on my radar! Don’t care much for the others though, and I totally understand how most would see this as a pretty weak line-up…

Picked up Arkham Knight’s Season Pass for $4, one that’s been sitting on my wish list for awhile! Gotta save for some upcoming titles so that’s it’s for me this time around.

Honestly missed the Disney Infinity aesthetic quite a bit, so this did catch my eye during the Nintendo Direct. The F2P angle is probably gonna hamper it, but if this kicks off some sort of proper revival for the Infinity franchise (minus the pricey physical add-ons), I’m intrigued!

This is gonna be stellar, can’t wait to boot it up with my brothers and friends for some solid couch co-op.

@KidBoruto This is true! Plus titles like Cuphead have eventually made it over to PS4 so there’s hope!

King’s Quest 2015 is one of my favorite games of all time. Not that I actually expect them to give the franchise much love since that game didn’t really sell well, but I’ll be crushed if KQ’s future is restricted to Xbox…

…Aside from that, Spyro, and Crash, though, I really can’t think of much else I’d miss from that list. Will be interesting to see this unfold in the coming years.

I really enjoyed her performance in Euphoria. Very excited for this one!

@pumpkin_head I couldn’t agree more!

I’m still cranking away at a lot of the PS5 Plus Collection for the first time so it’s hard for me to complain (just beat Arkham Knight last night, onto TLoU 1 now). March probably takes the cake with FFVII for me though. Nevertheless I’m still all in for a PS Plus/Now overhaul!

I’ve amassed a hearty collection of VR games from things like Plus and the Play at Home initiatives, that I haven’t been able to play with the PS5 being my first venture into Sony gaming. This might actually be a deal-breaker for me if it’s a no, as I was banking on actually being able to check out all of those titles with the new hardware. Seems utterly pointless to invest in two different headsets imo.

I’m really itching to jump back in for some Spidey side quests after seeing the new movie, especially with the incentive of the new suits in Remastered. My PS5 is still packed up from my journey between college and home, but maybe I’ll find the time to dive in this weekend!

WB is gonna be dominating my future game time between this, Hogwarts, and maybe (just maybe) Gollum...

Still holding out for this one just because the whole thing seems so silly, there’s no way I couldn’t get at least some enjoyment out of it!

Actually stoked about LEGO here! My little bro and I have been marathoning the LEGO games and DC Villains is coming up for us fast, so this is great timing that’ll definitely save us some money

Just scooped all of these up because I'm in the mood for some utter trash. Will probably play them on YouTube at some point just for kicks, haha

Banking on Metroid, but It Takes Two has my entire heart.

Would this be a good grab for someone with lots of love for D&D, but no personal connection to Borderlands?
