@4fold I mainly played the older games as I reguarly buy newer games. Occasionly I will use the service to effectivly demo a game that i am kind of 50 50 on. However most of the newer games that arrive to the service I already own hence mainly playing the retro stuff. Hope that makes a little more sense as to my reasoining.
@4fold Like i say i use it for only for the premium classics and occasional back up. Every now and then I might download a title to try before I buy but heres the thing of course Legacy of Kain is worth more than 1.66 but is it worth the entire price of premium for a month. Which has to be ongoing for continued access to a title. No it isnt.
The problem with sony premium classics trickling out and reducing wont go away and although some see the benefit of the service, I dont and in this financial climate I will save my money for something that I will use and not blindly pay for something that may improve over time.
@4fold Im probably in the minority but i got premium for the classic collection. I dont tend to play online and i dont stream. This meant when the price of premium went up and the amount of classics reduced to a trickle it was more cost effective to just buy the classic titles I want rather than get the odd title every couple of months.
At the end of the day as with any subscription service the inherent value is purely based on the user who is using the service and for me it wasnt worth the monthly outlay. Im sure its a different situation for others who may use tbe service more.
Legacy of Kain Defiance is a nice addition but at this point the additions to Premium Classic Collection are a joke. So many titles that could could come across left aside. Cant remember the last time we got a PSP title added and now were pretty much getting one or at a push two games added per month.
Thing is there are so many Sony owned titles that could come to the service but we get nothing. I think from the last 3 months only 1 title was from Sony. I hope it improves but I feel like Sony is getting bored of adding classics to the service.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Rage Racer was my fav too. Would love a new entry but so glad were seeing this on PS5. Hopefully now we might see orher Namce 3D ports such as Tekken, Air Combat 22, Time Crisis, Ace Driver and Rave racer too.
I think all the companies have lost there identity over time. Go back to gen 5 and 6 and each console had there own identity its own style with pros and cons. Each machine complimented each other and thats a far cry from today where its a one size fits all mentality.
Great shout with Destruction Derby. That game got me into the whole PlayStation back in the day. Would also love to see Assault Rigs. There are so many game that havent arrived such as the original Tekken, Soul blade and Ridge Racers. Also Suprised we havent seen the Arc the Lad and other Cool boarder and Sony games. Hopefully will see some more PS1 titles added soon.
Gutted about Dino Crisis not been available. However, downloading Forbidden Siren which I purchased back on the PS4. Annoyingly its a 30Gb download which for a PS2 game is crazy.
@zhoont On the Xbox I just set the match up as private and set up the other players as guests. Thats how me and the kids play locally and its all good.
@ProfessorNiggle It would be nice but I reckon we might see PS Vita emulation before that. Saying that Im not quite sure on the state of PS Vita emulation at the moment.
It will be intresting to see the prices on the PS2 titles judging that PSP and PS1 titles are £7.99.
Gpolice was a great game at the time but a toughie. Even with rewind and save states this could be a trickie title. Now were getting Gpolice maybe we might see Colony Wars too.
@tameshiyaku Even though it doesnt take much to get the French to strike the strikers generally what they want. France is one of the few countries where striking and protests actually work.
As much as I like Insomniac games and Spiderman I just couldnt get into Spiderman on PS4. As a game it has that quality to it and was probably deserving of the accolades it revieved. Sadly it just didnt seem to click with me. I dont know why but because of that my hype for this game is minimal at best.
At least we seem to be pushing 3 retro titles a month now. Eventually we could end up with a decent retro library on premium. Im just hoping that we get the PSP version of Everybodys golf sometime.
I think its probably a case of subscription fatigue with everyone and everything wanting a subscription. Plus the general cost of living at the moment assuming thats an issue in the US will most likely be an issue.
I do like trophies and achievments in games but ive got to say that the trophy situation on playstation at the moment is messed up.
Theres a stupid amount of reskinned games all attempting to cash in on the Platinum trophies. At this point Sony needs to do something to stop crap like "The football F" & "Jumping whatever" appearing and then been reskinned and sold again.
They could start by having one list per game and format regardless of format and then scrap regional variations.
Didnt think there was any doubt the japanese service would get the 60Hz japanese versions.
Will be intresting to see what the US market gets but i feel that those in european territories are going to get the slow end of the stick with 50Hz versions.
Enjoying my time with FANTASY so far. Played the other entries on the store but wished they had redid the other 4 titles in the same way as they did with Cotton Reboot
@thefourfoldroot1 I get that but a brief line in the info stating that select titles will have trophy support or online support surely could have helped them.
Just looking on the Malaysian PSN storefront and it appears that the description mentions online but its the product description logos say local multiplayer, remote play???
First Trophies and now Online. If all this stuff is true I can't believe Sony didn't include info like this in their PSPlus info last week. Surely that would be something you would like to promote.
@get2sammyb I just wished we had something more concrete to go on instead of all the rumors. Sony really needs to have some kind of showcase before the new PSPlus launches so we can get an idea of what features and games will be included.

Awesome news. Powerstone games, Star Gladiator and Capcom vs SNK games. Cant wait.
Re: Capcom Wants All of Its Legacy Fighting Games to Be Re-Released on PS5, PS4
It would be great to see Tatsunoko v Capcom get free of its Wii shackles with a updated release.
Powerstone and Rival Schools would also be cool too.
