@LonewolfSTK it’s not got a ps5 version though this is ps5 versions not games playable on a ps5

@Col_McCafferty we aren’t Nintendo fanboys we are gamers. We don’t “support” one brand like a sports team. We are educated, intelligent gamers that appreciate varied experiences and don’t say things like “glorified mobile game”

I couldn’t care less you don’t like Nintendo but you do half talk some rubbish.

It’s a cracking machine. I love the vita and the switch really shows what Sony could have had if they hadn’t given up. The switch is a monster and has such a solid varied games line up. The 3rd party support is growing and it should have been stronger from the start. Lots of companies don’t like money. With this user base companies should be begging to put their games out and it’s a complete myth most switch users are kids - I’d wager most are older gamers with plenty of cash to splash on games. Retro gamers.

“There are no games on Nintendo for me”

With a crash bandicoot avatar. Lol.

“I would have one for free as they are for kids”

Lol.

Never change never change.

I’m not disappointed but I’m surprised as the player base and availability of consoles is still a way away from what it should be but good to see ps5/XSX power being unleashed finally

Glad I stacked early on the Now front at £35 for three years. Annoyed I’ve wasted money on any plus for that time as I get nothing extra but I’ll take the cheap stacking I won’t be paying £100 a year after that I doubt same I won’t pay GPU when they make me pay more than £3.40 I pay right now

Sony are having an absolute nightmare. What are they playing at?!?!?

The vita is an amazing machine. Sony have treated it horribly like anything that does go over 100% from day one. They ditch it and forget about it.

Vita was a machine they could have supported and over time it would have been an amazing success. I love mine. I don’t play JRPGs.

@IonMagi that isnt 100% going to be the case. Look at the BC stuff on Xbox. Quite a few license games on their. Even on the ps5 via ps4 BC we have games like “the warriors” (a ps2 title) and old now non cannon Star Wars games - bounty Hunter for example. It will be where the game was published by a different company that owns the license where we will have issues, sports games and driving games with real life cars but even they are not impossible it certainly complicates things I’ll give you that.

I’m not sure if the Harry Potter games were made my WB studios? It is unlikely they’ll feature but we could see some licensed games

There are tons and tons of “old games” I’d like to revisit from 1,2,3 - mainly 2 and 3 - I’ll make a bold prediction that pretty much none of them will end up on this service. They either have license issues or will be caught up in IP ownership tangles. More the later tbh.

@Flaming_Kaiser my PlayStation5 plays DVDs no?

That’s just too many. I commend their ambition though

@daveofduncan “StocksyYesterday, 6:36pm
Ten backwards steps before Sony charge you more for Five forward steps.
This new service is not only arriving at a terrible time, it’s being launched in a really bad way”

How is anything there suggesting I’m impatient.

The first part is factual.

The second part is correct. It’s a terrible time to launch a new service especially at a much higher cost. Netflix and the other sub services are losing subs left right and centre. There is a cost of living crisis going on. It’s a stupid time to launch a service with barely any details and expect it to succeed.

All this will do is create a narrative that this service is awful. Gamepass can still be had for £3.40 a month as Xbox happily leave open the cheap work round. This service is considerably more than that and doesn’t include day one exclusives.

I don’t think it should include day one exclusives but that’s all you’ll read when it launches. I’m a realist and I want this service to be a good one and succeed but Sony proved with Now (and has proved before with Vita and so many other things) that if the public don’t lap it up at first offering they get bored and don’t do much with it.

If the numbers for this are poor. They will just ignore it and not do much with it like they did now.

I personally liked now but you go on any gaming forum and the majority of comments are negative and you go on forums and look at GPU comments and they are positive. Sony needs to think carefully about their PR.

I’m not impatient I’m a realist.

@daveofduncan what’s patience got to do with my post? The launch should have been delayed. I’m asking for a delay…

@SM1FFY01 like my post above everyone will turn a blind eye to this and give Sony a pass.

This whole launch is a disaster.

I’m more than annoyed that having given Sony money in advance to be Both a plus and NOW customer that knows treated them same as someone who has bought plus and stacked and then now for a month of the new service. They get same as me but I’ve spent hundreds more. Doesn’t seem right

So if you just own Now you are far better off?? I think this is a bit of a con and everyone is giving them a pass….

If you own Now to 2025 and nothing else you get the top tier of the new service until 2025…..

If you own now to 25 and plus to 2024 you get top tier of new service until 2025….

Also if you own now until later in 2022 and plus until. 2025 you get the new service 2025….

Those of us that have given most money to Sony seem to lose out again…..

I think more should be calling this out….

Ten backwards steps before Sony charge you more for Five forward steps.

This new service is not only arriving at a terrible time, it’s being launched in a really bad way.

@Carl-G ditto. I really thought the 5 was going to go that way... but no. For me it should be the aim to take that possible.

@Bamila I cant find any info on whats left the last few months. do you have the lists? cheers mate. thats too many to cull. but according to their old official numbers of games and their new quoted numbers it was a hundred less... so it looks like we are getting less games and not more.

Never seen John Wark in any legends teams on FIFA which is a travesty.

Cracking month.

Back of the shed Sony. Back of the shed.

I have three years or so of now stacked. What happens to my plus? I get a refund or I’m stung coz I got both?

The lack of info is worrying. Why aren’t they hyping this up???

Surely if it’s brilliant news they’d be sharing it? I’m prepared to be underwhelmed and avoid disappointment

I’m sorry but even if they have some what fixed gameplay….. IF….. it’s still a shallow as a puddle.

I’m not buying into any hype sorry.

@eagletrippin I get the lowest amount EVERY time. Literally everytime. Glad to hear that others don’t. I was sure it was fixed lol

This is not a speed run. It’s an exploit. Imho in a game that people get so upset about suggestion of a “easy” mode the same people embrace speed run glitches and ridiculous farming.

Sony really doing their best to look bad. Not sure if all their PR team have been on a long holiday/sacked or a just suddenly rubbish but they certainly seem to be burning all their good will with the wider gaming audience and media.

Hopefully they’ll fix it

Great news. I feel for those who haven’t or can’t get a ps5 but over a year of barely no exclusive next gen games is enough. Let’s have some proper XSX and Ps5 games

This looks a better fit on the switch than ps5…but deffo is worth a look. Thanks for review.

@Reeneman @Shepherd_Tallon @SoulChimera true. I will say I have serious issues with many aspects of the game. It’s still a very very good game. It’s just not the GOAT and it really could be.

At times it simply isn’t exciting. It’s fun and it’s impressive. Its just held back by stupid design decisions.

That being said the grind isn’t one of them.

It just feels dated in format and design and the chase the rabbit races get a bit boring.

I’m still loving it. I’m just a believer in balance and not just praising when there is plenty of room for improvement

@JJ2 agree. I recently played it from start to finish on XSX through BC and can safely say it’s better than anything we have had this gen so far!

I got the special edition and was late to the party but also got the bonus 1m. I’ve played for. 5 hours - I have 45 cars and 2.5million in the bank. Reading all the reports before sounded like you never got cars and money was hard to come by. I have a relatively expensive Ferrari and a McClaren plus plenty of nice high end cars won from just playing.

I welcome these changes but the issues I have from this game are not winning cars or the money pay outs.

@rachetmarvel what rubbish April fools jokes….. yes. Yes they are.

Oh no. No doubt the hype train will start again.

Honestly there will never be anything decent released from these guys.

Ouch.

My sides hurt so much.

These guys.

Really “funny”

Must be such a laugh in their offices.

Seriously though if they worked on the games and not being “hilarious” we might have something to play.

It’s a shame these boring in house showcases that Ms Sony and Ninty do are over hyped nonsense on their own terms. All the industry coming together and easing their game to be the best was brilliant for us all.

Like everything else consumer ends up being the loser and so many lap it up. Ha.

“ But it raises an interesting question about how an unknown studio managed to go viral around the world”

Idiots on Twitter that’s how.

I know that doesn’t narrow it down.

I have a robot mower, I hate cutting the grass but this looks great. Headphones in. Chill out.

@Flaming_Kaiser exactly. For years we’ve been saying it’s the opposite and people won’t have it.

@RubyCarbuncle I own hundreds and hundreds maybe into 1000 of playstation games over Ps1/2/3/psp…. Physical And digital having an offer to pay them for £100 a year doesn’t seem consumer friendly. I would like to access all my digital games at least from my ps5…

@Apfelschteiner @Wasted_Smuggler Sony clearly disagree lol. They are putting those in their top top tier. They obviously believe they are a big pull for many. Else they’d be in the bottom tier or not featured at all

Seriously why do people on here constantly say “people won’t use it and don’t want it it’s niche” Sony just made it a massive part of their most expensive tier. They did that from extensive research and knowing what gamers want. That’s a fact

Jim Ryan over and over has shown his disdain and even contempt for “old” games and certainly wasn’t going to spend a penny to let gamers play their collection - “they look and play rubbish” is basically what he said…. Who wants that?

Then he says old games look amazing pay us £100 a year to play your old games but only if we have them in the collection we release

The optics look bad because they are bad.

It’s basically if you want these old games put your money where your mouth is and we will take it.

Nintendo and Sony really are terrible when it comes to BC and old games and yesterday did nothing to help that at all.

Until we know the games and how long they stay it’s hard to get excited. Ps2 was the generation of the licensed game. 1000s of licensed tie in games. I’d bet none are included.

At £100 a year…. £8.99 a month… from the details we currently have…. Hand on heart I find it hard to believe anyone is excited for this…

Intrigued and wanting to know more but seriously no one can be truly excited by what we know so far.

The free upgrade from Now is awesome gives me 1.5 years to see what it’s like at no extra cost.

@get2sammyb Warriors - The movie tie in by rockstar

Missing - and is my fave.

Where do I not sign up….

Don’t take my money….

@rjc-32 surely not?

@get2sammyb? You can change a review score whenever you like? You could re-review a year after release surely? To take into consideration patches? This isn’t outlawed is it?

Be interesting to know what’s allowed…..

@get2sammyb maybe… but it’s only happening because people complained. You guys played your part. Which is good. If we had followed the advice of many people here and “stopped moaning” it wouldn’t have been. They thought they were gonna get away with it else they wouldn’t have done it. This wasn’t planned

@Toypop does GT7 have a free upgrade from PS4 version?

Far far far better. Well done for a U turn that should never have been needed. Still a sour taste but at least in reality they made it better.

@Loftimus who suggested that? Apart from you? Why do you constantly flood threads with your constant stream of mocking anything you deem “anti playstation” is it not correct and appropriate for push square a PlayStation site to report on down time that might effect the hobby we all love?

Also I think you will find many of us here already own an Xbox and a PlayStation. Only a few of you “brave” soldiers left fighting that imaginary war.

Do we have to have the sarcastic “let’s all move to Xbox” comments every time. We get you only own a PlayStation. We get you believe everything is a console war. Some of us own multiple consoles and can see the faults in all of them and don’t needlessly defend them no matter what.

It’s only right that push square report any issues and down time. It’s right that people point out a game needlessly being online only are then offline at the same time. Again needlessly.

Both Xbox and Sony have similar issues and everyone should want and expect better
