I just hope that having both valve and microsoft push hybrid PCs as the main competition - Sony will re-think requiring a subscription for online. The multiplayer tax will look ridiculous when your competitors offer the same service for free

I don't buy multiplayer only games on console anymore, having to pay an upfront cost for a game and then pay a subscription to access it never sat right with me

It's really a terrible oversight, trophies can sell games as proven by the atrocious 5 minute platinum shovel ware clogging up the store. I was really looking forward to earning 4 classic Resi plats on both the ps4 / ps5 versions, it's a huge draw for the hardcore fans... These are truly seminal genre defining classics that deserve respect and have amazing trophy potential , yet no one at capcom can take the time to implement a simple trophy list that other much smaller games can manage? Poor show capcom, poor show indeed

Really promising demo with great art design, graphics and cyberpunk vibes, but the controls felt weird with strange cancels and delays. If they fixed how it feels to play on controller this will be awesome shooter I'm sure

multiplayer should still be free though

since when has implementing peer to peer functionality or adding a bot mode been prohibitively expensive? Most of the time, revived games are brought back to life by a few hobbyist fans in their spare time, all we are asking is let the community do it's thing

What I found was particularly egregious was that it wasn't just always online, you also needed an active PS+ subscription to play anything! multiplayer sub needed just to play the campaign alone!

Must play? 80% are shovel ware for no-dignity platinum hunters, the other 20% are decent games that almost everyone owns (bloodborne / god of war etc) The lack of quality control on PSN is drowning the good games in a sea of dross

Nice that's 2 more platinums patched in, but sony really need to stop drip feeding us games and turn on the tap with their classic catalogue, currently I own 5 ps1 classics on ps4 / ps5, but over 40 on ps3, why is it taking so long?

I'm hoping they honour previous ps2 classic purchases like they did with previous ps1 classic purchases, I bought some bangers back in the day on ps3 - persona 3 and 4, GTA liberty / Vice city stories, the warriors, bully, katamari damacy. Give me my old collection with trophies and I'll buy many many more, and bring us disc support!

Anyone with a ps3 should buy G-Police on there, it's 6 quid cheaper and still gets you the ps4 / ps5 versions

We are still in the dark days of pay walled multiplayer and gaming as a service, these mega corporations need to understand we have too many subscriptions. I prefer owning my collection, not renting access to someone elses collection.

I'm annoyed with Rockstar for another lazy port, but i'm more annoyed with Sony for it's lack of effort on backwards compatibility. RPCS3 is proof the cell chip can be emulated well, but Sony love re-selling you your collection. We're lucky ps5 plays ps4 games to be honest.

Resistance 4 with a seperate F2P multiplayer for everyone would be epic, hell i'd settle for a Resistance trilogy remastered. Why Sony has forsaken Killzone & Resistance I will never know

It's great news we're getting our old purchased classics with added trophies, just a shame we needed US accounts to buy them and then wait a decade for sony to port them! Well better late than never I guess

Legend of dragoon is the highlight, probably with trophies! glad they are honoring ps1 classic purchases made so long ago, but this drip feed of 1 or 2 classics every few months is way too slow

I have 40+ ps1 classics on ps3, So far Sony have allowed me to download 4 of them, they really need to properly invest in getting the majority ported to ps4/ps5 with a dedicated ps1 classic trophy patching team, it'll earn them tons of cash, oodles of kudos and reward their most dedicated and patient fans, I guess it's finally happening but so slowly it's painful

No doubt it'll be awesome, but it better be free to play if it's going to have any chance against the competition

I was really positive about cross-play from the start, but PC players really have a clear advantage and negatively impact the enjoyment console players have. My solution is a simple one; have two cross play options, console (xbox-ps-switch) and console + PC, even then I think PC players using a gamepad should not face mouse and keyboard players, these wasd-warriors are ruining the fun, this plus strict SBMM and the fear your opponent is cheating is causing players to quit

I miss the days when you actually purchased games yourself, instead of wait for a monthly drip feed of random old games you've already got. The only people who benefit from these services are people that don't actually buy games very much at all, leaving your most loyal hardcore fans wondering why they even bother subscribing in the first place

Sony know Microsoft are about to buy the most popular shooter on the planet and put them on gamepass, if this is coupled with a megaton such as ’online play now free for everyone on xbox' then Sony would loose billions, no wonder Jim Ryan is moaning to anybody who will listen. I want an agressive approach from the competition to wake Sony up from their classic 'market leader' complacency.

I'm starting to think they wouldn't work on native ps3 emulation because they thought streaming would sell premium, crazy! all people wanted was some decent ps1 ps2 + psp games with trophies and they can't do that. I don't sub at any level because I own 80% of the games on extra, Microsoft are rumored to be dropping sub requirements for online very soon, if true Sony must accept it needs re think PS+ altogether and make MP free again

The Ps5 really needs a better looking slim model ASAP, Sony generations only ever kick off properly with the slim pro versions

This is a joke, compared to MS reward points it looks like absolute tosh. I don't have an xbox but I still earn about 10 quid a month on their system (which I use for cloud gaming on PC) by simply using bing instead of google and clicking a few links each day, if you want you can even redeem MS points for amazon gift cards! Sorry sony keep your digital tat and measly 'stars' it's not even worth the effort

You can play warhawk online right now! dedicated nerds have restarted private servers, google 'psone emulated servers warhawk' dig out your ps3 and get playing tonight, it's still a blast all these years later

Battlefield is stuck in the past, the competition is better and free! They need to look at apex, warzone, pubg and fortnite. Firestorm had potential but was squandered on a WW2 setting and locked behind a purchase, 2042 was so bad it nearly killed the franchise. Time to make the next one F2P, win back some good will and give CoD some competition again

EA tried to sell an unfinished online only multiplayer game for full price with 2042, while the competition offer more polished shooters for free. Time battlefield goes F2P and embraces BR

Sony need to realise that microsoft now have the more powerful console at a cheaper price (globally) and now owns the worlds most popular game series/developers. It's clear we are finally seeing MS use their vast wealth and unmatchable profits as a company to stich up the market. We always knew this would happen, it was always a matter of time. Sony should be really worried, they have incredible devs and games but MS is in the business of creating and maintaining monopolies. Sony can't afford to loose what little good will they have when going up against the largest company on earth

Sony have handed a massive advantage to microsoft, who now have the more powerful and cheaper console than the competition. I think this was a big mistake on par with xbox attempting to raise gold prices, I expect a back-lash as this spreads, really awful news that will go down like a lead balloon, Jim Ryan has got to go

It's too late for Sony to save the sanctity of trophies! They don't have to ban shovel ware games outright, just not allow them to have platinums, but clearly they stopped caring at some point and are happy to see their awards system trashed. They may make a few bucks here and there, but true trophy hunters are getting disillusioned and giving up altogether, losing money and fans in the long run, bad strat

Europe never got this game as a ps1 classic, I had to make a US account just to buy it! If I can re-download this gem and get a platinum on ps4/ps5 then I will forgive Sony for it's lacklustre approach to backwards compatibility for the last 9 years

Me - 'Hey sony want to make a new Resistance or Killzone to compete with CoD?...' Sony - ’No way man it's too hard and expensive and CoD is too good it's impossible to beat so why even bother'

This is what happens when masses of idiots go buy from scalpers. Now sony is convinced they didn't charge enough! At this rate I may just buy a damn steam deck instead

Pretty sure outside influences have a bigger impact on well being and happiness. With global pandemics, economic free fall and war going on I for one am glad gaming exists as a distraction

They should follow the halo model, release Killzone 5 with a standalone F2P multiplayer

If you are tempted by Persona 5 royal at 19.99 scroll a bit further to find the delux edition 16.49, just a little PSA to save a few quid

The success of this program hinges on the ability to earn enough points each month to keep subscriptions going a bit like a battlepass, MS already do this as diligent point hunters can perpetually keep game pass going by redeeming monthly rewards, a cool idea that seriously drives engagement. Sony also needs to understand that retro active rewards are important for their most loyal customers, how about a free week (or even better a month) of PS+ for each platinum you own at launch? People won't feel good about future challenges unless previous ones are recognized and the rewards are worth it

I'm really excited to see how many psp games end up on ps4/ps5, I bought a ton of amazing games on that beast, would love FF 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 and war of the lions on my big screen (vita tv won't play them) Vita games also need to happen

An incredible gem of an JRPG, Lenneth has multiple moving stories with heavy themes and deep characters, super satisfying combat and one of my all time favourite lead protagonists. It deserves a full re-master but I will take a port anyday, play it and unlock the good ending!

It's important that this re-launch doesn't require PS+ to play online. Overwatch players on console got stuck with subscriptions and full price tag. Overwatch 2 is free but will never catch up to Fortnite / Warzone popularity levels unless It's a brand new client that's fully F2P with cross play

Hope they made it fun this time! Doubt many people will buy it when it already failed as a free game.. Never played anything so utterly confusing and boring before. Also you'll probably need PS+ for online now so the community will be much much smaller, a little surprised they are even bothering tbh

I can't believe it's taken an entire generation to finally start giving us basic Ps1 back compat that should've been available at the ps4 launch. And still even after 9 years they are making schoolboy errors with aspect ratios and PAL versions.. Sheesh! Please don't abandon this project Sony! Invest in your legacy and people will believe you care about your history, not just earning a quick buck from lazy ports

If they can honour Ps1 classic purchases by checking your download list, the same should be possible for digital Ps3 games. Let people stream the games they bought digitaly without a subscription and we'll forgive the lack of native cell emulation!

I think he was pulling our leg the whole time

I was really pessimistic about the service as it's clear hardcore fans would likely own most of the games the subscription offers, but it's not aimed at the core it's aimed at the casual mass market. Ps1 back compat with trophies is what's got the PS-pervs salivating! Pretty smart to please both types of fan

Would love to see those re-vamped Ps1 classics go on sale! I want Ape Escape & Wild Arms downloaded on my PSP, Vita, PS3, PS4 and someday soon - PS5 simultaneously. I'm a sucker for nostalgia (and trophies of course)

Whoa this is big news! If I really can download most of my old ps1 classic collection, play at better frame rates & resolution with save states AND earn trophies without needing to subscribe then all is forgiven Jim Ryan!!!

Wowzers! i've been pretty down on sony recently but allowing us to play our old games is better news than I was expecting! Glad they realised our old collections are the reason backwards compatibility should exist in the first place

Man Genshin was addictive stuff, was hooked for 3 months straight but kicked the habit before spending any real money, this looks like another intoxicating mix to fall into, just pray there's less gambling and fomo mechanics that sap the fun out of the whole experience

Wow 300 mill is pocket change for sony! surprised they didn't outbid embracer group just for Tomb Raider IP alone, unless they decide to buy Square-enix outright...
