Edit: I figured out how to purchase it in the app. I had to change to the "In Store" version instead of "In Library". Then it showed multiple sub versions and I had to check the box next to the one with the $4.99 price. From there I was able to add to cart and checkout.
I downloaded Wildlands once before when they did a free trial and now I can't buy the game in the PS app. It says "in library" and "download to console". I'm hoping it will work if I try it through the PS Store on my PS5.
@AgentMantis Have you tried playing a game at 60 fps for a few hours then switching to 30? It can be jarring at best and even nausea inducing at worst. But you typically can adjust to it in little time if it's a stable 30.
@Stevey_Mac My thoughts exactly when I watched the trailer. I had a similar reaction to Brok and Sindri in 2018 and their comic relief. At a certain point it just started to feel out of place for GOW. But that pales in comparison to what they're doing here with cube and ribbon.
The lack of full Dualsense feature support via a Bluetooth connection isn't Sony's problem to address. It is a Windows problem because Microsoft does not implement the full Bluetooth protocol feature set. Sony designed the DS to take full advantage of Bluetooth's support for simultaneous transmission of low latency input and multi-channel audio (for the haptics and speaker). However, Microsoft has not added this support in Windows' Bluetooth implementation, unfortunately.
There actually already exists a better solution than this paid app; someone developed a USB wireless adapter that utilizes an off-the-shelf Raspberry Pie Pico 2W. The DS connects to it via Bluetooth and it then presents to Windows as a wired Dualsense. It apparently works flawlessly.
I've rebuilt a large portion of my PS3 library on Steam, and it's great to play those titles at modern resolutions and at 60+ fps. Many even have upgraded texture packs. However, I can't say the same for most of my favorite PS3 games because they were exclusives. So, while I understand that Sony has to do what's best for their business, I just wish their games could continue to release on PC where they would be preserved better. It's a shame that PC gamers didn't show up in the numbers they needed to to make that happen.
I highly doubt PS6 will include a disc drive in the box. I think they will offer it as an optional accessory that connects externally via USB. I just wish Sony would have made that decision earlier with the PS5's drive. That way we could have used it with their future consoles and wouldn't need to buy another one.
There's no way Sony would direct their studios to work on patches for games that simply allow customers to conserve energy. This doesn't sell games. They didn't patch many of their games from last gen with PS5 support, which would've led to more sales, so there's definitely an ulterior motive here.
I used this app with my Retro Pocket 5 to play Resident Evil remastered on PS4. While it was mostly a great experience, the image would always eventually freeze after a while, and I would need to reconnect to fix it. I wonder if this also happens on the Portal. Or perhaps it's just a PS4 issue.
Oh, I didn't know it was included in that collection. It is pretty out of place with those fighting games. It's more fitting for it to be included in this collection, but I get why it's not now. Thanks for the tip!
I played all of these games as a kid. In addition to the missing X-Men titles others mentioned, they're also missing The Punisher by Capcom and the Spider-Man game based on the 90s animated series.
It's going to be difficult to uphold my LRG boycott for this one.
Bloodborne was the first thing that came to mind when I heard the news about Bluepoint. A remaster on PS5 and PC would have been the easiest way to turn things around for the studio and make their acquisition profitable.
I have no interest in this, but coincidentally, I just beat Blood & Truth, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's evident from that title that London Studio was a really talented team. It's a shame the game is stuck on the clunky PS VR with its outdated tech, which definitely holds it back. It really deserves to be ported to PS VR2 and/or PC. Same is true for all of Sony's other VR exclusives, such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Farpoint, Iron Man VR.
@LiamCroft Is it safe to say that the campaign would have been better if it wasn't a CoD title?
It sounds to me like the devs at Raven/Treyarch are desperate to flex their creative muscle to craft a standout sci-fi campaign, but are constrained by the need to do so under the CoD banner.
@PerpetualBoredom "racism"?! If that's racism then this article is also contains racism. The only difference is one's fictional and the other is real. But for some odd reason you'd rather devalue a serious term instead of educating yourself through a simple Google search. Anyway, go ahead, have the last word and carry on.
I don't understand what the devs are thinking with the way CoD is handled on PS5, or how Sony allows it. I recently got a code for BO6 and I don't even know how to play the game because it appears in my collection simply as "Call of Duty" with the BO7 artwork. When I select it, it then prompts me to select either the PS4 or PS5 version of "Call of Duty Zombies". Meanwhile, all I care about is the campaign mode. It's so unintuitive. And the trophy situation is absolutely ridiculous. How do the devs not know that no one wants this?
I got tired of waiting for a PS5 option and finally played it on PC over the summer. Truly an incredible experience; I never experienced that level of immersion in a game world before in my 30+ years of gaming. Unforgettable. I would buy it again in a heartbeat if they released a quality PS5/6 port.
I wish Bluepoint would patch Shadow of the Colossus to run at 60fps in its 4k mode on PS5. There are also some lingering graphical issues that need fixing.
@Midnyte-Monkey That's exactly what I did and it only showed the two anniversary editions and the new demo. I just went back to the PS app on my phone and it was still showing the same thing, however, I then refreshed the page and the $35 standard edition is now showing, but the demo isn't there anymore. Not sure what's going on.
Is there seriously no standard edition of this game? The PS Store currently has the 1 year anniversary edition for $100 and the 2 year anniversary edition for $130 (on sale for $90). Where's the standard edition for $60-70?
I enjoyed the original so much I platinum'ed it. I would double dip if they offered a discounted upgrade. Otherwise, maybe I'll pick it up later on when it's on sale.
I would be surprised if even one user enabled power save mode on their PS5. This is definitely all about a future handheld device and has nothing to do with saving the environment.
I've been playing this recently. It really does deserve a 60fps patch, but I found that after a few minutes of play I got used to it. It seems like the 30fps in this game is a lot smoother than other games; I'm not sure why. What was more noticeable was the long load times and even the 1440p resolution. I'd be more than satisfied with a PS5 frame rate patch, but a native PS5 version that offers 60+ fps, 4k and eliminates loading would be really great. I would just hope it would be discounted for owners of the PS4 version.
I wish they would release a Pro patch for the first game in the meantime. That game could really benefit from the Pro's claim to eliminate the visuals vs. performance compromise.
@Cambrius That's not how remastering works. Developers don't remaster each old console version for their respective modern console counterparts. They choose one version and use that as the base for the remaster for all modern platforms. Additionally, remastering one console version of a game isn't inherently more difficult than doing so with another console version. I think you are confusing remastering with emulation.
I gave up waiting for a patch and finally played it on PC instead. Incredible game. I don't think I could go back to the PS4 version even if they did add 60fps because the game looks too amazing on PC. If they release a native PS5 version that holds up to the PC version then I'll definitely double dip for the trophies. Especially if the load times are improved.
Good news that Gears is finally coming to PS, but it's disappointing that it's not a collection. I played Ultimate Edition a few years ago and I was planning to play all the sequels on XB1, but once Microsoft started going multiplatform, I decided to wait for them to release a remastered collection on PS5. So I guess I'll continue waiting.
A Pro upgrade would be nice to eliminate the quality or performance mode compromise, but that's extremely unlikely considering how CDPR are not even updating Cyberpunk for the Pro.
PoP was my favorite IP back in the PS2 generation. I'm looking forward to the Sands of Time remake, but I truly hope we get a new 3D entry at some point. A sequel to PoP 2008 would be cool, or even another reboot. I'd also take another entry in the SoT story line, but the last one, Forgotten Sands, had a pretty underwhelming story, although the platforming gameplay was top-notch.
It would be nice if they patched Returnal with PS5 Pro support. The upscaled 1080p resolution could really benefit from PSSR, or even just a higher render resolution. It's strange that it hasn't been patched by now. I think it's one of the only first party PS5 titles to not get a Pro patch (alongside Sackboy and a few PS4 remasters).
Sony needs to do these already: Resistance collection Killzone collection Infamous collection Motorstorm collection Ratchet & Clank Future collection God of War Greek Saga
As for 3rd-party: Portal collection MGS4 GTA4
There are some more, but these are the essentials.
The original soundtrack was such an important part of those games, so replacing songs in the remaster is too much of a change. They could make the new songs optional additions, or put them in a new game, but removing some of the originals is a mistake. Nostalgia is a large part of the appeal of these remasters.
I would love remastered collection. Mercenary on Vita was also excellent; Guerilla Cambridge should have been given a shot at a full console title before they were shuttered.
It's pathetic how Sony has neglected their PS3 catalog. It's such a relatively small investment to contract a few 3rd-party dev teams to do the remasters. And if they release them on PC as well they would easily make a nice profit. It's also a very limited list: Killzone, Resistance, Infamous, Ratchet, Motorstorm. They did the same thing for PS2 collections on PS3, so I don't understand their staunch reluctance when it comes to giving the same treatment to their PS3 titles.
I loved this game on my LG flip phone back in the day. I kept it with the game installed up until the mid 2010s when a friend of mine desperately needed to borrow a phone. Never saw it again. I've always wanted to remake the game myself, but I lack the required dev skills, unfortunately.
