Several of these games actually got a next gen patch on XSX, including fallout 4, the yakuza games and AC origins. Fallout 4 for obvious reasons, the yakuza games just released that way on xbox (60fps instead of 30fps), AC origins is the weirdest case here as there’s no reason for ps5 not to get the patch.

That was known already tho, wasn’t it?

I haven’t played any games all week sadly but I want to try and start trek to yomi on the xbox.

Also want to try and continue FE fates birthright on my 3DS.

Hope it works out but I’m just not feeling it atm.

@get2sammyb in terms of value MS and xbox do it sort of better where a developer can give a value between 1 and 1000 to an achievement as long as the total amount for a game adds up to 1000 pre updates or dlc.

The issue here is no one is stopping devs from making games with a single 1000GS achievement and adding extra 1000GS achievements in updates.

Playing fire emblem fates birthright on my 3DS. Not liking it as much as awakening so far but still a great game.

Gonna finally start yakuza 5 on my ps4/5. Only have 5, 6, LaD and dead souls left to play. Played all other games including the 2 judgment games and fist of the north star already.

On xbox I might start mass effect 3, and next week I’ll play yoku’s island express.

Xbox has some good live services like sea of thieves, fallout 76 and forza horizon 5. But most of them are mediocre or badly supported.
And going by GT7 and destruction all stars I doubt sony will handle it much better. Not looking forward to them but I am curious about what bungie will make specifically.

Does the ps5 version support RTX? One of the big selling points on pc was this game being an amazing RTX showcase.

Lost in random on the XSX through UGP. If I beat it this weekend I’ll also play life is strange true colours on xbox.

Gonna start fire emblem fates birthright on 3ds too.

And finally uncharted 3 on ps5. Beat uncharted 2 yesterday and loved it.

@ATaco atleast the expected life expectancy of blu ray discs are 100 years. And cartridges that don’t have an internal battery even longer.

Digital is as long as the servers are up and I doubt servers will stay up for 100+ years. 20+ years is even a maybe when it comes to sony and nintendo.

“Of course, it should be noted that the original arrived at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning attendance at movie theatres was pretty much rock bottom.”

Sonic 1 released in theaters about 2 weeks before the world started taking covid-19 seriously and started doing lockdowns.

Horizon zero dawn complete edition on ps4/ps5. Trying to get the platinum trophy.

After that I’ll go back to spider-man miles morales to get the newgame+ trophy and the platinum.

No switch, 3ds or xbox this weekend.

I know current gen consoles are hard to get but this is great because games can only evolve if last gen gets abandoned.

Majority crusader kings sales being on playstation is surprising if it also counts digital and UGP downloads. It probably doesn’t but I wonder what the percentage will look like if UGP was counted towards the number.

Fire emblem awakening on the 3DS. Almost done with the game and it’s great. It’s my first FE game too.

I might take a look at the psnow library now that I have a subscription.

No xbox or switch this weekend.

Would love all wild arms games to be available since they’re sony first party games. Besides that ofcourse most if not all sony owner games. For third party stuff suikoden, most if not all NISA, konami, capcom and square enix games for ps2 and psp would be great too.

Like I said in the leak post. Good variety, 3 well recieved games, not everyone’s cup of tea ofcourse but definitely a great month.

Don’t sleep on slay the spire.

EDIT: and if the leak article is anything to go by. If you don’t like these games that doesn’t make it a bad month, and nowhere close to “the worst month ever”. You can’t have a win every month but to me a winning ps+ month is one that offers good a variety of genre’s and well recieved games.

Good varied month with a quality selection. If people hate on this it’s just not games that are for them IMO. This is one of the better months with how varied it is.

It’s a turn based JRPG by ILCA who also made last year’s pokemon remakes. Doesn’t bode well but from what I gathered the poke remakes had less then a year of total development including pre production and this games had a few years of active development.

Wasn’t aware this wasn’t on playstation yet. I have the UGP version installed on my XSX.

@get2sammyb the remakes of final fantasy 1 and 2 are missing.

Don’t have to use twitter anymore now for playstation. Only nintendo is left with implementing this feature now.

@LN78 ah yes that’s because of investors having discovered the game market. Let me tell you, as a collector on a budget it hasn’t been fun anymore. Wish the second hand market would crash personally, rather have my collection be worth nothing but everyone being able to buy, play and enjoy the rare games I have (and vica versa for me) than having a high value collection but so many games not being accessible if you don’t invest in or care for emulation.

@LN78 SotN PAL ps1 was like €550 last month. It’s been on a downwards spiral recently.

Normally I wouldn’t mind but with fallen order 2, the SW strategy game, the SW first person shooter, ME4, DA4, dead space remake and skate 4 this year would’ve been fire for EA play live.

@Amnesiac I’m sure it’ll get a BC version when project spartacus launches since the game is a sony IP and was made by sony japan studios.
But since it was made by SJS I doubt we’ll ever get a sequel, remake or proper remaster.

@Lup it’s really good so far. Also surprisingly beautiful for a 1st year ps3 game. And yeah it’s hard to get everywhere, metal jesus calling it a hidden gem 7 years ago already made it hard to find and when the news dropped that the ps3 store would shut down it became practically impossible.

Luckily I bought it in 2015 for cheap at CeX.

Continuing tokyo mirage sessions #FE encore on the switch and after a few years of wanting to play it I finally started playing folklore on the ps3.
Also a bit of muse dash on the switch here and there

No XSX or ps5 this weekend.

Only have an opinion on the top 3 but I’d rank it
3.) hit n run
2.) arcade
1.) the game ps3 (the one released around the movie)
Personally.

@PenguinL the most annoying thing is all these dlc packs were already announced years ago when the game was announced. The only new info in these articles is what is part of these packs and that the mandalorian pack has been split into a separate s1 and s2 pack.

Playing tokyo mirage session #FE encore on the switch after I dropped the wiiU version about 3 years ago.
Also some races in forza horizon 5 on the XSX.

Beat bravely default on the 3ds yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to play bravely second and bravely default 2.

No ps5 this weekend.

@RevGaming before IGN ruined the out of 10 scoring system years ago 5 used to be average but ok, 4 below average but still ok and 6 above average ok. 7 being average makes no sense as average means middle ground and 5 is the middle of 0 and 10. Website’s have recently been going back to the classic 0-3 being bad, 4 to 6 being ok, 7 to 9 being great and 10 being as close to perfect as possible.

Relatively good month but I don’t mind the ps+ line up anymore. I get ps+ discounted, I mainly play games through UGP and my physical collection and once in a while I check all the ps+ games I activated and play/beat a few of them.

Ghostrunner is the game for me this month.

Despite the 5/10 I’m gonna buy it eventually anyway. Even if it plays badly if the game is hilarious I wanna play it. Point n click game humour is some of my favorite.

Gonna play this on UGP (day one release) and if I end up loving it I’ll buy it for ps5 for the collection.

My brother bought it but I personally have no interest in it. The marketing focusing on quantity over quality put me off.

Bring back pshome, make platinum trophies give rewards in pshome like a lego marvel platinum give a lego marvel set, a last of us platinum trophy gives a ellie outfit or appearance, make the game support VR and make it a live service.

@Zombie9ers PSTV sales fell under the psvita sales and that was a home console. Psp 2000 and 3000 sales fell under psp sales and those 2 where hybrids like the switch as they could be hooked up to a tv. Ps1 mini sales fell under ps1 sales and that had a tv attachment and car adapter.

Don’t act like switch sales Aren’t impressive because it has multiple models, that’s just silly.

Sony has a no duplicate ps+ games policy and technically tiny tina didn’t break it. Giving away the handsome collection would’ve broken it.
But TBF they also have a 75/100 minimum metacritic average score policy which has been broken countless times.

@PhhhCough if a game launches day 1 on UGP, and pushsquare writes an article about how that game sold on ps5 than UGP becomes relevant to both pushsquare and the article. Acting like it’s not is silly. People are more and more going multiplatform these days.

Sorry for my last comment, misread.

I’m moreso curious how well rainbow six performed on UGP and if that influenced sales to be down.

Already have ultimate game pass. It’s amazing. My platform of choice stays the ps5 and switch but my XSX is being used a lot too due to UGP.

Multiplatform is the way to go, always. I have every nintendo console and handheld except for the SNES and virtual boy, I have all 7 playstation consoles and handhelds and I have the og Xbox, the X360 and a Xbox Series X. Couldn’t be happier. (Also have a dreamcast, mega drive and CD-i. Still want a saturn, master system, neo geo pocket, neo geo, gamegear, atari jaguar, wonderswan and Nokia Ngage.)

Lost judgment (ps5) - great game so far. Planning on finishing up the yakuza series this year, besides this one I only have 5, 6, LaD and dead souls left. I also include fist of the north star which I already played.

Forza horizon 5 (XSX) - got the forza controller for Xmas from my brother which is a good excuse to get back into the game.

Pokemon shield + brilliant diamond (NS) - just shiny hunting.

My most anticipated game this month is actually pokemon legends arceus. Untill that game releases I’ll be playing lost judgment on my ps5 and forza horizon 5 on my XSX.

@JosephTheSheik I never said that.
Them being my least favorite SIE dev doesn’t equate me hating them. Also you can not be fond of the people behind a game and still like their games.
But I simply prefer other studios like BEND, insomniac, pixolpus, sucker punch and santa monica over ND. And that’s ok IMO 🤷‍♀️

@dudeAmarillo yeah, ND does make stuff I like but their recent cockyness + other SIE studios having just more varied and interesting output makes it the studio I’m the least curious about atm.

If the TLOU remake rumours are true that will only get worse. That game does not need a remake yet, there’s so many more sony IP’s from ps1, ps2, psp, ps3 and psvita that deserve a remake first.

While I love uncharted and TLOU I think ND is my least favorite of the SIE first party studios.

I want to know what pixolpus is working on.

I have UGP so I’m gonna play it through that. The game I really want to be added to EA play/UGP tho is lost on random. Wish that one got a physical release.

Voted for judgment because it’s my 7th favorite game of all time (at the moment) despite me not having played the “remaster” (AFAIK it’s just a port right?)

I haven’t played a lot of 2021 releases, having played most of them since I got UGP and an XSX but it we go multiplatform my favorite remake was brilliant diamond and my favorite remaster was jedi fallen order.

Playing the perfect christmas game. Spider-man miles morales. (It’s heavily themed around Christmas and set during Xmas)
Besides that probably guardians of the galaxy, xenoblade chronicles definitive edition and forza horizon 5.
