Calm down. There will be more classic games. It is not like Sony own all these classic games. There are a lot of licensing issues. But apart from nostalgic reason, personally playing those old titles in Full/ultra HD TV is not great.
Would be great if Sony buys Square Enix and Konami. It would consolidate Japanese companies. Japanese companies own a lot of nostalgic titles. FF 14 is doing very well and in line with Sony's ambition of more live service games. I would want to spend money on Japanese companies rather than Bungie. Only the Tomb Raider is big IP on this list. It is not expensive for Sony or Microsoft but employment of 1100 people can be costly and it may be seen as monopoly if they have further acquisitions in mind.
As always, focus on the negative and generate angry responses and views. I remember how many articles you create when sony change their store. No wishlist, no image of games blah blah. They fixed them relatively quickly. There will be some teething issues initially and it is totally justifiable to talk about them. But making the a lot of similar news again and again (Like 10-15 articles about no Bethesda games for PS) is ridiculous.
@gomersoul I have PS now, and happy with upgrading to premium. Why you speak for others if you dont have any subscription. PS now sub was reduced to 45$ a year and now offered to upgrade to premium. What did i lose?
Ghost of Tushima Legends is quite deep and fantastic game. It should be on this list. Haven’t bought single player yet but I am now level 120 with Samurai.
It has improved significantly. Now the gameplay is really nice. I guess the game would be ready by next season as the offline mode is really limited now. I play co-op with my bro (against CPU Man U) and it is currently not available. Even the offline mode is still very limited, how difficult to allow us to play more than 5 min. But I am really excited for the comeback. Never a FIFA fan.
Just tried the racing wheel today with wreckfast, dirt 5 and dirt rally 2. IT is really not easy using it. Maybe I don't have a proper chair. Better to just use the controller.
If successful, that will become a money tree. So they will throw everything and see what sticks. Apart from Fornite, (to some extent PUBG as being the first Royale game, Apex, COD, Genshin impact and fall guys) other free live service games are not doing very well. I hope we got another when Factions 2 launch. Would be nice if given free to all PS plus tier members
I might be the minority or majority. Although I grew up with PS1 and 2, I am not keen to replay the retro games. Remastered is a different matter but I am not even interested in my favourite GTA- vice city despite it being free on PS Now. I don't even replay my childhood best games- Super Mario 3 and Donkey Kong on the Switch. The voice of critics is surely loud, but they might just be the minority. Really would like to know the data from Xbox backward compatible games.
Expect more games like these going forward. They will make higher tiers more attractive by keeping big games for those services. This is the upcoming Xbox Games with Gold- April 2022) - Another Sight, Hue, Outpost Kaloki X, MX vs ATV Alive. Microsoft has been giving rubbish months after months but they are getting away with it as people only care about gp.
The landscape has changed since PS5 launch since last year. Sony has been following Nintendo in terms of first party titles. (Microsoft is not relevant here as only very few would buy their first party anyway given availability on gp). As Sony sell digital version PS5 at a loss, they will try to recoup it and now with new ps plus service, there is even more reason to give little discount to digital versions. I would still buy digital as I can share with my siblings. (If you have ps4 playing friends, you can share extra too).
Don’t expect it will be the same as GP. Otherwise you will be disappointed. Microsoft is using the money from their other business which Sony simply don’t have. Then again Microsoft only have a very few first party games since GP launch and some people didn’t notice about it.
@Fuzzymonkeyfunk Currently 1 month sub fee is the same 9.99$. It is always the same with all sub service that you get cheaper price for annual sub. There is nothing new here
Push square often uses 70$ games, blah blah. But that is only for digital. New games/pre-orders (physical disc) can be bought anytime around 50 to 54 GBP here in the UK. Sony sold the digital version console at a loss and thus they are trying to coup the money from their store (which does affect me as I am a digital guy, but on the other hand, you get to share easily with your siblings who live overseas, so I am still happy with digital games). But the price of money for physical discs are not changed for many years now.
@EquiinoxGII Cliche comment after every state of play. How did you waste your time if you fell asleep? What are you guys expecting from this 20 min show which was announced just yesterday?
Seems to be a great game. But not my type as I don't have the patience to learn all the moves, attack patterns etc. I just want to enjoy stories or games with mindless fun even if they are beat/ shoot 'em up.
I like their old EA games challenge everything motto. I am a PES guy but i dont think dropping name would hurt anything. Dont just blame EA here, the greedy FIFA has been found accepting bribe for Qatar world cup and now they want to hold world cup every 2 year.
@tartanross I mean many times in a year in the UK, it was reduced to less than 30GBP. ( or just over 30, you can buy from CD keys all year long).) I am based in the UK but my main PS plus account is the US. Even over 40GBP, you got more than what you paid for in the whole year.
@KundaliniRising333 You paid less than 30$ a year and you aren’t happy because one out of 4/5 games they give this month is worth less than 10$ on discount? Yeah why satisfied with less, huh?
Never into FPS shooter. But I wonder those who buy COD every year, what make you buy it yearly. I know they rinse and repeat the setting (historical, future etc) but personally the gameplay is just basically a minor tweak. Loads of people buy it annually is a surprise to me. Do you guys buy it because most online community are most active in the newest game?
Free to Play is fine. Fighting games need many people to function for multiplayer. Fighting games used to be more popular but become a bit more niche with the decline of arcade.
@nessisonett No, Shan Chi and Eternal are not released at the same time on Disney+. And I don't think the pandemic status has changed with the Omicron surge. Given the popularity of Marvel films, this is definitely impressive.
Sony really need a successful FPS game. How about they make free to play planetside? There are games like dreadnaught, eve online but no grounded MMORPG. A few factions competing for territory for days/weeks would be interesting. I am hoping TLOU2 multiplayer is like that.
I much prefer the tight storytelling linear game rather than climb this tower, control this area, upgrade this and that. Not much time to enjoy the vast open worlds especially the boring ones as I grow older.
What kind of idiot think this is because of Sony times exclusives? Time exclusivity is done by all companies. All Xbox fanboys use this as an excuse which is ridiculous. Most of Sony exclusives are either first party or collaborate closely with third party developers. Most timed exclusives are DLC with only a few big games. Almost all the great games throughout last gen are first party. How come it is Sony’s fault most Xbox exclusives last gen didn’t do well? Currently Xbox first party day 1 exclusives are very few and far between (no exclusives until now after ill fated crackdown 3). With more exclusives coming, expect subscription fee go up. And people will then subscribe using other regions. We will see how this will affect games in the long run. Will consoles games model turn into mobile model, low initial cost with tons of in games purchases?
Sony buying Crunchyroll took nearly a year just to get approved. That was very niche anime market where other companies like Netflix produce a lot of anime every year. Lets see how this goes. I am seeing the price of gamepass go up soon.
I don’t think they will include big first party titles day 1. Funny people compares this to gamepass. I mean look at the gap of first party games coming to gamepass. They only release 1 game so far since the Xbox new gen launch. Almost all of new games come day 1 to gamepass are indie games. The other problem is Sony focus a lot on single player story games which wouldn’t make sense to offer free day 1.
They should have just released another seasonal update. This isn’t clearly ready which is obvious with the previous demo, and they just tired to release earlier than FIFA. If it’s released as demo, they wouldn’t feel that much heat. It is never good thing to change engine as it would be buggy. They should give us free or minimal fee season 2022 update. Scrap this one until I it is ready
Of all the things, I don’t need a browser at all. Yeah I know a few people watch pro hub with it, but I am sure the vast majority of people never ever touch it. And the browser is also the reason of jailbreak and security issue. So I don’t think of going to happen.

Re: Ubisoft+ Is Coming to PS5, PS4, with 50 Classics Free for PS Plus Extra, Premium By the End of the Year
Wow. Not much into Ubisoft titles. So great for me as I don’t own except a few given out on ps plus. Then again I have too many in my back log.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Tiers Will Be Refreshed Monthly with New Games
Great selection. Personally don’t care much about classic games. Definitely subscribe the premium tier.

Re: PS5, PS4 Exclusives May Get Worse if Free with PS Plus Day One
Only multiplayer heavy games would work for subscription. Story focused games would lose a lot of money if they get released day one on sub.

Re: Here's Your First Look at PS5's PSVR2 Headset, Which Is Lighter and Slimmer Than Original
