Me personally I don't really care if they are padding their trophies out because the game makes the difference in difficulty and all gamers know what hard and whats easy, if thats what they think is bragging rights, hey let them have it because its their money. But there are solutions to it but Sony is probably making a little money off them and it would hurt them to take away platinum on mini games and such because I don't think trophy farmers would buy them for bronze because it wouldn't bump the score up. And Im sure theres tons of families out there who would be upset if they quit making them because I know of several that are church going and like them because there is no violence and several for their toddlers. So in the game economy its always good to be diverse, because no matter what you do theres always going to be someone not happy or someone manipulating a system.
340 isn't a whole lot when it comes to classics. I say they are just adding what they had on the ps3 store to ps now thinking they did something great. wConsidering we already bought them digitally or own copies still for the original system. Not that I wouldn't love to have them all playable on the current console, Its I don't want to pay for what I aleady own again. Put the hard to find gems or cult classics on there. One collector told me he had figured the number at somewhere around 50 thousand titles that had a physical release so far up to the PlayStation and another 20 to 30 something thousand of digital only releases. So the numbers they are throwing out hoping to make another 10 dollars per month per sub but they are only getting you access to less than 1% of the total catalog. Prepare for disappointment because in the end they are doing nothing different than what they are doing now but they are charging more for access to it.
Everyone making connected and live service games are the problem, theres just way too many of them out there and you only have a certain amount of players in the world at one time that like social co op games to begin with. So you have a ton of Mmo's with millions invested with years in, they are most likely not going to give up their main game for train wrecks or studios making half backed rehashes of whats out there already with low population servers. If they would just stick to what they are already good at and made a single player game with co op possible it would've went down ten times better and not released it when 5 to 6 major titles are releasing. Poor pre sales is why they pushed back Forsaken and the market is flooded with female leads because everyone like trying to find a fortnite are trying to find an aloy. Its good Square is bringing back some older ips but if they wanted a game that would sale with a female lead put out a new Parasite eve or remaster the originals, don't waste time and resources on putting out another bad super hero game.
Like I've said before the last gen of VR didn't recieve squat in the sense of support and a huge game library for what the system cost. And no other makers of a VR system did as well. I don't know the price but Metas new one coming is rumored at 800 and Sonys seems more quality over theirs, so it will probably be up there too. I have fun with the few games that I have that I like but in hindsight I would never have purchased it if I knew the game studios were going to dropout after the first year. And honestly looking at a tv screen is still a go to everytime. I'm just so disappointed in the market these days, they are always focused on the wrong things trying to expand into all niches only to spread things out and you still have no variety in genres or originality except in indies.
@feral1975 I say your about half right there. They are stopping PS now in a round about sort of way. And since PS plus has more subs they are trying to knock it down as much as possible to counter any losses from their new service if they ever get around to it, they been talking and leaking info for over two years. So even though Plus and Now never really was all that much( and also Game pass either) Sony wants to keep from having to give 12 months to current pluscand now subs for their new one if its going to be tiered and cost more.
Well Microsoft really ruined the gaming industry already with how they drove the prices up on everything. They really don't have all that great of a game catalog until this past yr when almost all studios make a game cross platform. You really have alot of halo heads on xbox where PlayStation is way more diverse in players, just like reading the comments they are widely varied. So it would be hard for Sony to come up with something like that, but its not like Microsoft is giving away a ton of day one releases either. Ps now is better all around they just don't have a huge variety in the way most good games on there players have bought already, and not all the games are downloadable and it costs way more. But even with what it lacks its still better than Microsoft. Even Ps plus even though I feel its a rip off of a service its still better than the game pass most months. And Im not taking up for Sony by far its a high price to rent a game that you may not even like and to play online if multiplayer is your thing, or a merger discount on digital games that have no value after your done with it, and especially if you never play it ever again, plus the fact when support goes down for the system you might lose the game completely. But for me I would love to see a full catalog up there, retro and all, a tournament that you can pay into to win cash or game credits, something for the multiplayer fans/pvpers, Im not one but would tune in to watch matches or the competition, they have a huge movie and tv catalog and anime they could be offering through playstation, bring back the game collection that rotates every month like they did on PS3, get some Nintendo exclusives on playstation, Nintendo grabs up whatever good games they can from other platforms, maybe pal back up with Nintendo for a shared experience. Once Microsofts rip off windows money dries up it would be hard for them to beat out Sony and Nintendo on a united front. The possibilities are endless with making money but Sony makes bad decisions on their media and products, but I stll love them even though they have major faults they have always delivered the best possible products giving the bad decisions memory sticks. Lol I hope for the best though, maybe they will read through the Playstation community comments and figure out something that meets the needs of the whole while being the best for them.
What got me to buy this was the hype and the reviews. But after playing and beating both endings if its even called that and did so in one day, is why its getting these great reviews, knowing the game isn't no where near what its being made into, so i wonder if Microsoft isn't throwing cash out to these reviewers. Because this game isn't even in great game territory, let alone Goty status its being hailed. Plus its so bad its no where near the price point they are charging. Add in bugs and just how quick the game ends once you figure out what the game shows you while guiding you through the small areas. I have heard its not a mindless shooter, it can't get anymore not mindless shooter. Just glad Sony refunded my money and apologized and said its in worse shape than cyber punk, so that should speak volumes.
I love Sony but they dont really think ahead on anything about what customers really want. They started off strong on the Plus but this month its back to normal with ***** a plug tale is ok but nothing your going to really want to run out and get right off the bat, call of duty gets old real fast considering it constantly comes up in Plus offering and well you better be a die hard fan of wrestling to even bother wasting your bandwith on that ***** game even if you love wrestling your going to be let down. But honestly if they would just give you a good selection of games to try every month it would be a better service to compete with everyone elses game passes. Their ps now is more like it but they hardly ever rotate games in and out of it but you still have to have a pretty good connection to stream them. My suggestion to them would be to roll Plus into Ps Now with the option to download a few games a month then if you decide to keep them get them at a discount.

Re: Long Rumoured Chrono Cross Remaster Could Be Revealed in February
Hopefully it wasn't a mobile game since they were probably working on the cross over at the same time.
