@lacerz I need to find out the exact date. However it was definitely after they had reiterated that ps4 games would not appear again unless it was a joint ps5/ps4 games, which clearly this is not. I mean I bought it in a sale and think it was very cheap, it's just the principle of it. I have been buying up ps4 games in my wishlist since (again only at mega cheap prices) but this will put a stop to that
I am happy with this. It was one is had eye on but I have stopped buying games so at least I get it with bills further expense as I am already premium for the Portal
In fairness, the upgrade they were about to deliver cataclysm, or something along those lines, sounded like a redemption arc and it probably would have lasted longer. I could have done a no man's sky and become a new destiny/division game that people would sink hours into. It wasn't that bad of a game, it was just limited but those were almost going to be ironed out with the upgrade it's a shame really, as it was fun to play of what was there
@gaston I disagree. Single player games and even games like destiny or helldivers, you feel the progression, whether that be story or your characters look and build, feels.like your time has meant something. Arc raiders for me does not have that appeal, as I dont like the idea of losing everything you have built up. I know you keep stuff that's at your base, but what's the point in building that stuff up never to use them because of fear of losing it.
I think due to arc raiders, I wont purchase this at all. I just dont like extraction shooters. The idea of spending lots of time building up weapons and armour, to have it all gone in an instance, is a waste of precious time for me.
Lots of value for money when you look at the amount of games on there. Just need the Portal to at least have the ability to stream all of the games on this list
Generally the Pro upgrades have been OK to Good. Day 1 ps5, ps5 pro and ps portal here and I can say that since the last upgrade, the ps portal is now my go to. I have always been about the graphics in the past. I was sold on the idea that ps5 pro was going to be ps5 quality mode but at 60fps, ans then ray tracing added on top. I have been disappointed that many ps5 pro games only have an improved resolution and extra bells and whistles on the ps5 performance modes. The ps5 pro quality modes are still mainly 30fps and there hasn't been too many 40fps balanced modes. I still play on the ps5 and ps5 pro equally (as im not seeing huge improvements so have two games in state of wuick resume), whereas with ps4 pro, I dropped playing the ps4 altogether
Already got nfs unbound ultimate edition. The ultimate edition or upgraded is really needed if you want to try different cars thanks to the stupid structure and awful rubber banding races. However Epic Mickey was on my wishlist so glad to be getting this. Therefore I am happy with what I am getting this month.
I dont see how anyone can complain about it. Even if multiplayer was free. For cost of one full price rrp game, you got to play all of these games. What else can you get for 6 pound a month that's better value entertainment wise?
@Jacko11 they need to just release the original code for ps5 for ac unity, so that it's 60fps and the crowd density is increased. A bump up in the resolution wouldn't kill either lol
@Blauwe_Chimay the two originals are in my backlog. Hence why i nearly didnt play it. I have heard all lot people say the originals are better so something for me to look forward to, if plus stops putting wishlist games on.
Yes loved Dead Island 2, even more so as I completed on PS Plus extra. I think that's what has given me the push to complete any wishlist games that appear on ps plus extra / premium, as I was holding back to play backlog games I bought. However this game really changed that perspective, and now those games are priority. For example I have had to buy Dying Light 2 and Revenant 2 because I didnt play them when they were on plus
Omg.... another two games on my to buy list. That's pushing bought games out, as I would rather utilise my ps plus membership and not have to buy the games
Cant upgrade kiwami 1, have upgraded 2 for free and 11.99 for zero upgrade. Hate it when the store bugs out. It keeps saying I need to own kiwami 1, then proceeds to let me download ps4 version.
Well as I am playing most games from my backlog. Unless older years game count then my two options left that released in 2025 are: Lost Records which i am struggling to enjoy or Tomb Raider Legend. Guess it's the latter
As long as the games turn out to be fun, enjoyable and more importantly cheaper. As a consumer, I never look to see all people who made the games in the end credits (I skip if possible) so I am not going to pretend like I would be concerned. How many people can now truly own up to going to a bank, withdrawing their cash from a cashier, and going to physical shops everyday to purchase their goods at a human teller. No paying by card or phone, just by cash. That is where this started, I.e. doing people out of jobs for convenience. A.i. well just be another convenience, more games made at quicker rates, which we will consume, if they make our individual lives better.
Why dont they ask Naughty Dog how they made the ps3 uncharted collection on ps4? There must be some easy way to convert and improve mgs4 like they did.
@Markatron84 I dont really follow the market places or other convoluted stuff they introduced. I go in play the campaigns, maybe do some strikes and upgrade my guardian to pretty and then drop off until the next story. I dont have time to keep relearning stuff for it to be gone next time I come back.
Sorry for third post but destiny had a special place in my heart. To cap it though, In its current state I will not purchase any more expansions. If they come to plus, I will jump in but that's it.
You know i would actually go through the whole damn story again if I could. Meaning they would have to return the vaulted content, and allow me to purchase battlepass content and find a way to allow us to experience a watered down single player raid experience. I bet you if they did that, they would get a lot of players back. I have never had a second character, I have always been a warlock in d1 and d2, but I would love to do the whole thing, including d1 story as one of the others. I mean that's at least 100hrs commitment there per character (without doing the strikes and multiplayer). Even if they resold it as the ultimate bundle with destiny 1 redone in destiny2 engine. I would re-buy. As long as I could access all content, including versions of raids accessible to single or strike style players of 3. I know it would take some adapting but man it would be the ultimate experience. It could be cross play with the current d2 community so there are player counts there already.
I haven't purchased any expansions for about 4 years now. Just wait for them on plus. I was a seasoned regular on d1 and d2 ubtil they went with the battlepass systen, which correlated with them taking away content i had bought However, as many have pointed out, even playing those expansions for free on plus a year behind, I haven't got a clue what is really going on as there is so much story lost in those battle passes that can never be experienced. I am doing the final shape at the moment and I am like how the fcuk did they get to this part here.
And this seems really silly but I didnt realise until the first poster mentioned that story is tied to raids. Raids that single players can't experience because there has never been match making. So unless you go external or have friends you can't do them.
Excellent line up of games for me. Have none of them, but looking at the video of plus, they all look like something I would give a go. Again. For £13.49 for premium that's about as much as a kfc meal and I have all the option of the higher tiers too. My backlog just got bigger and now I am safe to buy marvel fighting collection and forza in the black Friday sale
I would be interested when they do the playstation year review if they show playtime on ps5, ps5 pro and ps portal. I think despite owning pro because I like the best graphics that I have played in the Portal the most
@saffeqwe was about to ask how long that game is realistically. I always check How Long To Beat, but I must either be really slow, methodical or others just speed through to boast how quick they complete games. It's says 16hrs on HLTB site so i will take your time as more realistic. Guess I will have to switch focus from games I own that I am playing to completing sonic first, then lost records, then blue prince. I love and hate the premium prescription. I play on my portal loads now, but the backlog keeps getting bigger as I rush to complete games that were on my wishlist but came out on plus.
I cant believe I just bought talos principle 2 on the last sale. Argh.....
Will play tomb raider and still wakes the deep. I cant complain them alone are worth the £13.49 monthly p4ice of premium especially for me and the Portal streaming now.
@1970sGamer I like df a lot but they are first to admit they are snobby when it comes to cloud gaming. They don't like it.
I have been playing the final shape destiny 2 and it was very playable. It's not as smooth as doing on the ps5 but that is 120fps
I also been playing nfs unbound and have been doing well in it on the Portal. Especially as that game is ludicrously hard due to rubber banding
@Jrs1 yes saves are universal if you have auto upload donwload cloud saves on your ps5 turned on. I have been playing death stranding ac valhalla and dead island across portal and ps5 without have to go to download and upload saves
