They really should just consider consolidating the top two tiers into one. It's like they are purposely pricing the top tier so no one subscribes. £20 more a year for games trials and some mid range PSP games is not worth it.
If I was a betting man i'd say the release date on PlayStation will be Oct 14th 2023. Exactly 12 months after it released on Xbox. But im not a betting man and Xbox don't pay for exclusivity anymore 😏
Call me skeptical but I suspect the pay to win items will start to appear once all the review scores are in. Happens time and time again and it won't change.
They had me until "Title will be supported post-release with a Drive Pass. This will be spread across four post-release seasons, each with new vehicles and themes" in a title charging $120, no thanks!
£16 for this new version is crazy it should be £5 at most as its ultimately a glorified mobile game. I don't think the previous version they sold on the store gets updated to the Ultimate Edition either as its been removed from the store. That said I did enjoy it on my Vita back in the day.
Gotham Knights currently has 345 players on Steam, Avengers has 123. Those are games with recognizable players for the casual superhero fans. Other than Harley Quinn the general person won't care about this game. I expect it to be DOA. Rocksteady have spent 8 years making this trash while Hogwarts, Elden Ring and Ragnorok are selling stupid numbers showing that players don't want this live service/battle pass infested rubbish.
I'm very very surprised they are still releasing content for this. As of writing there are 98 people playing on Steam with a 24 hour peak of 167. I know it's out on most formats but this must be a good indicator that this game is struggling with numbers.
The good ole Sony couldn’t be more cunning or clever, depends how you see it.
They're all at it. Microsoft sold a console with Halo Infinite and included the £400 from the console in the Halo sales total value/has generated $xxx millions in the financial reports 😂
The annoying thing about this whole situation is that Microsoft is portraying Xbox as the scrappy upstart underdog and then using its other business revenue streams to fund the whole thing which have infinite money. Which is it? You're either the underdog or a mega corporation you can't be both.
@itsfoz They released Horizon: Forbidden West, Gran Tourismo 7 and The Last Of Us Part 1 with God Of War Ragnarök still to come and they acquired Bungie. Far from weak 😂
This would have been a perfect opportunity to put this onto the new higher PS+ tiers. Its a year old, massive update, console exclusive. Fantastic game!
The fact that this was such a broken piece of crap at launch isn't even a free PS5 upgrade really is a joke. Will be avoiding Microid games in the future.
Making PS4 and PS5 versions of games different SKUs was a terrible decision on Sonys part. The method for it is so cumbersome I wish they had a system like Smart Delivery on my Xbox.
Yay! Can't wait for it to be a massive open world where the maps is covered in fetch quest icons. Particularly looking forward to some sort of towers that Blade will have to climb to reveal said map 😏
Sony should have got this on the service as a Day 1 addition. These are the sort of games (low cost, high rating) that Gamepass has built its library on.
The PS Store has always been sloppy it isn't anything new. Back in the day EU game releases would never be up on time while the USA was always prompt. It would sometimes take days for mistakes to rectified. Whenever there is a showcase or presentation and they say "Game is available to download NOW" I know it wont be up on the EU store for upwards of 6 hours.
@Flaming_Kaiser It has nothing to do with being entitled. The developer has already profited from my PS+ version through Sony paying them to add it to the service, they are double dipping. The upgrade is free on Xbox Gamepass there is no reason for it not to be on PS5 too.
Things like this annoy me. The publisher has made the decision to not allow people who claimed it for "free" to upgrade as they want them to actually pay for the game. The thing is Sony paid them for the game to be on PS+ they didn't lose out. They want to have their cake and eat it too and double dip. Its just greed plain and simple. So fine, I wont play their game!
It still annoys me I can't use my Vita for remote play on PS5 like on my PS4. It was a great feature. Still hoping it gets added at some point but not optimisitic.
Honestly I think EA does more for the FIFA brand than FIFA realise. There is a generation of kids that probably don't even know what it represents outside of video games.
