@Th3solution Thanks for brining clarity to the discussion.

This game gives me a rush of nostalgia. Spent hours into it more than 2 decades ago. It was notoriously difficult for me at that time and there was one area where I was perpetually stuck. Never made it to the end.

And yet when it made it to PS Premium this month, couldn't stop myself playing it again. Rewind feature made life a thousand times easier. The platforming is as difficult as I remember it to be.

@Sanquine It will be 3:30AM where I live 😀 so totally out of luck. Probably, will check PushSquare in the morning will all the highlights organised into separate articles.

@hypnotoad I wish EA gives it another try.

Merry Christmas 🎄 from India!!!

That would give me a fresh dose of nostalgia! One of those games which I clearly remember playing on my PS1.

@themightyant with the recent price hike, they might have though people would like to flaunt it.

European code worked for me here in India. Many thanks!

@freddquadros If memory serves me well, SoW was also part of Essential back in the day when it was still called PS Plus.

It appears BG3 is now also available for trial with PS Plus Premium.

Was planning to get Sniper Elite 5 sooner rather than later. Would definitely be downloading it as soon as it becomes available. Meanwhile, will try to beat Stray before it vanishes.

What a bummer! And there's virtually no information about what kind of improvement we're going to see in the next iteration. Big Ant Studio website does not even appears to have an official page for the game. I was thinking maybe once the game is released in June, would get to see some actual gameplay and make up my mind. I even got rid of my copy of Cricket 22 in anticipation of 24's June release.

As someone from India, I would love to see some good games resulting from this initiative. Thanks Sony, and all the best to the applicants!

Cricket 22 was a decent one. But the game is so far behind other big budget sports titles, I doubt incremental updates will do much good here. Commentary is horrendous and fielding animations leave a lot to be desired. But since there’s hardly any alternative out there for cricket fans, it’s more of a hobson’s choice. Bring it on!

Added it, thanks! Perhaps a clue for PS Plus Extra.

It hasn’t even been released where I live. I think they know it only appeals to a specific set of audience within a specific demographic.

@nathanSF I tried the 5 hours trial this month on PS5, and loved what I saw. This was a breathtakingly beautiful world and it immediately pulled me in. Admittedly, I never played it on launch and not aware of the breadth of problems it faced then. But where it stands now, it offers immense playground to newcomers. The kind of effort put into this must be phenomenal since I can sense a lot of behind-the-stage world-building here.

@Quintumply PS5 version of Kakarot does not appears to be downloadable right now.

@Kyevo8814 Only PS4 version of Kakarot appears to be 'Included'. The PS5 version shows a price and no option to download.

Another great month! Thanks Sony.

Looks like only 4K. No HDR remastering.

Here in India, it streams on a local platform HotStar. They provide access to HBO Max shows. Costs around US$ 12/annum. Although the quality for TLoU is 1080p SDR. I wonder if it streams on 4K HDR elsewhere.

@NEStalgia Thanks for setting my expectations straight This clears things.

@koffing so this does not supports 1440p VRR over HDMI 2.0? I was so excited for this feature and would have been the first thing I tried once I reached home today

It’s on discount here in India too. For about ₹59, quite a bit cheaper than £1.

@mvhess Couldn't agree more!

Completed Fallen Order recently. Loved it. Quite hyped for the sequel now!

@_seneka I feel that too. Cal's walking style seems to have changed.

@bimboliquido truer words were never said. Sand is arch nemesis of all gadgetry too. I keep my PS5 hidden beneath a cover in a closed corner while not in use.

@Zemo55 Same with me! I live in a dry hot climate region and love rain. In fact, I love games in which it rains, which I suppose is next best thing to having real rain

@tameshiyaku Yup, looks like a perfect fit for PS Plus Extra/ Premium.

@knowles2 Oh. Well, we're not far from the launch date, so we'll soon know how many corners were cut. For the sake of everyone following it, I hope the final game turns out to be good. I foresee a lot of patches in the future though.

@Mythologue Indeed, the lines have blurred between generations now. For someone who started gaming during 8-bit era, my mind is conditioned to see clear boundaries with generational jumps. For now, I would settle for native 4K with ray-tracing and 60fps 😄. But apparently that's too much for PS5 to handle right now.

I think character models and general graphics reached a stage during the PS4 Pro days, which was sufficient to deliver impactful gaming experience.

@itsfoz The demo was quite underwhelming for me. I was expecting it to be first truly next-gen showpiece.

An option missing for me 😞

• Not available in my region (neither the game nor the demo).

Looks like this game does not even exists on PS India Store. What a shame, since I was hankering for a good JRPG experience. Here's hoping this will arrive here sooner than later.

@MakersMark Me too!!! Resisted everytime Fallen Order was on sale. Looking forward to downloading it tonight.

@nofriendo Yup, that's the reason why I feel more comfortable committing my time to playing Fallout76, now that it has been added PS Plus Essentials. It was already on PS Plus Extra, but that's not a permanent thing.

Merry Christmas to all staff and gaming community on PushSquare, from India!!

@thefourfoldroot1 Finally someone who echoes my sentiments! In the limited time I get for gaming after work, I prefer to play something in which I can make satisfying progress without a huge learning curve or developing muscle memory.

@trev666 Absolutely love the exploration part in the Fallout (and the Elder Scrolls) games. Seeing that there's no new Fallout game on the horizon, I was wondering if 76 can scratch that itch. If there's big open map to explore and some good stories scattered around, that's all I may need. Thank you for your feedback!

@trev666 reading how you put it, I gonna try it too! Was a little put off by all the criticism it received.

Been eyeing Fallen Order since last few sales. Almost picked it up last time. Glad to have waited assuming the leak is real.

@Voltan Never seen an actual pinball table. They weren't a thing where I lived. I wish I had.

@BeerIsAwesome Interestingly, EMEA code worked for me here in India. It returned error for ASIA code.

@anon_pel222 I have deluxe and there’s hardly been anything to talk about. There was even a month where 0 games were added to deluxe.

@LiamCroft The demo is live now! Downloading as I type. Around 30.61 GB.

@awp69 That seems to be the only option for them to redeem themselves 😉

@freddquadros Important information, thanks for sharing! And now devs have confirmed that it was a bug.

@Verzion214 if the article lends voice to a minority of users (assuming you believe they are a minority), it becomes all the more important.

Btw, this was the first thing I tried to do when the sale went live. Therefore, this post represents something strongly felt by a set of users. That gives it a very strong purpose.
