I would love this but the price is too high to gamble that there will be enough games to justify. I love VR 1 but neck injury often ends up a problem with the weight of it that I don’t use enough to say that’s a good price.
Quality of the game is most important but when I have the choice of slightly better graphics and 60fps I pick 60. And to be honest, looking at the games that have been able to hit 60fps the only excuse seems to be either a lack of talent or lack of effort.
@Juanalf that’s surely the point of plus though isn’t it? The only negative I’d give is it’s very late to the party for it. However I got the dlc for a fiver in the sale so no complaints
I think it’s a shame as a little success may have helped push the tech forward. That said, as with many others I want to own what I buy, and even though it’s consumer friendly to refund it’s a travesty that this all just disappears and a stark reminder as to why to stay away from this kind of thing.
@thefourfoldroot1 well if the PSVR 2 is compatible with PSVR games then it lowers the barrier for entry. And I’m sure Sony could have an emulation mode on the device so it’s not down to devs to pulsate them. What I think is key is they should announce one way or another. It was a mistake for Sony to allow so much speculation on ps3 backwards compatibility with the ps5 when one comment could have clarified it early.
@tameshiyaku maybe those of us with a longer memory remember Witcher 3 wasn’t in the best condition at launch. Or Witcher 2 launch was a bit of a train wreck. I didn’t have the first from launch but believe it took the enhanced edition to get it decent. Don’t get me wrong they’ve always made it right in the end but don’t have the best track record.
I wonder if people would care so much if pt wasn’t so awesome, the last few released games haven’t set the world on fire. Although I was a big fan of the first 4
@Smash41 I remember the early days of plus where the eu update was the first Wednesday of the month but the US one was the first Tuesday, that was until Wednesday was the first of the month and we were told we had to wait till after the Americans. The outrage that month.
I don’t get people saying they should just have 2 tiers, that’s exactly what they had before in plus and now. This rebrand has just brought extra attention to how little Sony cares as long as people are paying
@KidBoruto that means they have skipped 50% of months. Can we skip paying and still expect access? It was obvious this would happen though as Sony refuse to commit to what you actually get for the service.
@Shepherd_Tallon I think what we should be outraged at is you still can’t buy this on ps5 only get it as part of a bundle, little insulting that pc players can buy separately.
It’s very easy to manipulate these figures to give a narrative though. For example do downloads from plus and now count as purchases? As I get emails thanking me for my purchase? Also what’s the split between AAA and digital only games?
@naruball it doesn’t have the filler content but has some of the best exclusive content out there. Unfortunately without the ability to want the office for the 100th time it’s hard to justify subscribing for extended periods.

Re: The New Witcher Trilogy From CD Projekt Red Has Found Its Director
If it’s not Geralt it’s not really the Witcher for me.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Lose Five PS4 Games on 15th November

Re: PSVR2 Launches 22nd February 2023, Costs $550
I would love this but the price is too high to gamble that there will be enough games to justify. I love VR 1 but neck injury often ends up a problem with the weight of it that I don’t use enough to say that’s a good price.

I’d like to play 1
Re: Dissect the Brutality of Great Horror in The Callisto Protocol Docuseries
All the content on this this week has made me bite the bullet and pre order. It’s looking great.
Re: Support to End for F1 Manager 2022 Less Than Two Months After Launch
It’s not like the game is being shut down, ideally when a game comes out it needs no support, at least you know what you are getting with this.
Re: The Witcher Remake Announced, Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5
@Ralizah the second one still looks gorgeous on a good pc I think, just needs a rerelease on consoles
Re: Star Wars Eclipse 'Controlled Leak' Was Reportedly Intentional, Meant to Gauge Interest

Re: Fallout 4 Gets Free PS5 Update in 2023, Includes Creation Club Content
@Fenbops well Sony charge for upgrades, Microsoft give them free. So charging must be the right option.
Re: Fallout 4 PS5 Version Confirmed for 2023 Release, Includes Creation Club Content
I couldn’t get into fallout 4, Been a big fan since the first one but it just didn’t feel like fallout anymore
Re: Sony Seemingly Scraps PS Plus Game Expiry Dates
God forbid the consumer wants to plan, wouldn’t want the company to commit to what they are selling you.
Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?

Re: CDPR Just Announced Two New Witcher Games
You hope they’d have learnt from cyberpunk but it doesn’t seem so
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2022?
@Juanalf that’s surely the point of plus though isn’t it? The only negative I’d give is it’s very late to the party for it. However I got the dlc for a fiver in the sale so no complaints
Re: Once Considered a PlayStation Competitor, Google Stadia Is Shutting Down

@UltimateOtaku91 id play that. Although sounds like stroke the dog territory.
Re: Video: Here's Why The Last of Us: Part 2 Is Better Than Part 1, But It's Nothing Without It
Gameplay is potentially a little better in 2 given tech advances but story and impact of 1 is far far better
Re: PSVR2 Isn't Backwards Compatible with PSVR Games, Sony Confirms
The bottom line is, lack of backwards compatibility put me off getting it day one, prob will for a lot of people too.

Re: PSVR2 Hands-On Previews Praise Hardware and Games in Glowing Write-Ups
Have they announced backwards compatibility on games for this?

Re: The Witcher 4 Will Kick Off a Multi-Game Saga, Says CD Projekt RED
For me a Witcher game needs to be about Geralt, if it’s not it may well lose me.
Re: Football Manager Gets a PlayStation Console Port for the First Time Ever
I love football manager but can’t imagine playing on a console. More on my laptop whilst also console gaming
Re: Random: Cyberpunk 2077 Update Adds Immersive Controller Vibration to Its Infamous Sex Toy Weapon
Isn’t this going to destroy your controller charge.
Re: The Callisto Protocol's Boss Underfire for Appearing to Glorify 15 Hour Shifts
I read it as a dude trying to praise his team, but he just cops flak for it. Shame as now the eyes aren’t on what they’ve achieved.

Re: Sony Promises 1-Hour PS Plus Trial for Rollerdrome, Offers 35 Minutes

Re: Poll: Is PS Plus Premium Good Enough?
I don’t get people saying they should just have 2 tiers, that’s exactly what they had before in plus and now. This rebrand has just brought extra attention to how little Sony cares as long as people are paying
Re: PS Plus Premium, Deluxe Officially Adds No New Games in August
@KidBoruto that means they have skipped 50% of months. Can we skip paying and still expect access?
It was obvious this would happen though as Sony refuse to commit to what you actually get for the service.

Re: Sony Incorrectly Prices Marvel's Spider-Man PC in Select Countries
@Shepherd_Tallon I think what we should be outraged at is you still can’t buy this on ps5 only get it as part of a bundle, little insulting that pc players can buy separately.
Re: Nearly 80% of All PS5, PS4 Games Are Bought Digitally
It’s very easy to manipulate these figures to give a narrative though. For example do downloads from plus and now count as purchases? As I get emails thanking me for my purchase? Also what’s the split between AAA and digital only games?
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Members Get All Main Yakuza Games Before End of 2022
We’re most of these not on ps now already? Did they just remove them so can re add them?
Re: Stray Is a Meowsive Hit Judging By Day One Concurrent Numbers
@naruball I’m enjoying it but def wouldn’t have bought it, that’s the kind of thing they need to balance out when thinking what could have been.
Re: The Witcher 3 Livestream Set for This Week
@QualityGeezer 1 would need to be remade I think. They tried to outsource it for ps3 I think, but it got canned due to poor progress.

Re: Reaction: We Need to Talk About PS Plus Premium
As a ps now subscriber we actually lost a lot of ps3 games to begin with so I don’t think underwhelmed describes it well enough
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium PS5, PS4 Games for July 2022 Revealed
They really need to step up the classics tier, some ps3 would be nice? Will these be across all regions or Europe gonna miss out on half of em?
