It is tied to PLUS for me here in Germany. I have one account without PLUS and the demo (same as Castlevania) is marked as "not available". It works with the Plus account though.

I can provide screenshots.

@DigiB79 Nah. That's saying the biggest blockbuster movie is a joke because it's not 3D.

Bottomline: only a few ultras care

@Czar_Khastik some of the best movies are like this

I spend a lot of time in rabbit holes and hyper focusing on things no one cares about. Now I see how I come across to others, reading all the "dealbreaker" comments here.

Anyone know what the GTA V download in the download files mean?

The burger print doesn't even look like screen printed

I just wish Sony would allow micro- or boutique-labels to make releases.

Work(ing for someone else) sounds really important to a lot of you guys here.

Even as much as to get offended by the idea of taking a day off to … "play"

Where can someone leave feedback for the devs? (Never die something like this so far)

I would really like to have a cockpit view without the nose of my vehicle visible. Just clean front camera.

Nice. Now Ridge Racer 8 please.

@Fighting_Game_Loser exactly. Hope they add it to the demo as well. But I doubt it

Do we know if the Demo also got this update? Would love to try. I miss these kind of games so much, but had no fun with the right stick drift.

@Jocaju same for me. Says I allreasy did the survey. Was not on the official website for like 2 years though.

I (still) like Rockstar and I am looking forward to GTA VI. But this is too far out of balance. The stuff doesn't even have a stylish vibe. It feels like some marketing agency produced random stuff last minute to use as free gifts during a trade fair.

@john_c Art-direction wise for sure! But in this case it looks even like the exact same graphic assets and faces.

Why do the characters on these kind of games all look the same? Is there a stock character software they just render them out of?

@Balaam_ I believe that for sure! Also one of the most satisfying gaming videos ever is that Street Fighter finals one where one player blocks it all for this crazy comeback.

Just nothing that brings me personally any fun. Especially not in AAA.

I am more simple minded and level up and grind so much that I can just tank it.

Yeah no thanks. That's the one thing I never do / want to do in any videogame.

Is it just me or is the RoboCop satire vibe gone?

Great fit. Would love to play it, but City Skylines was too overwhelming for me.
If they "dumb it down for kids", I am on board!

I am fine with releasing a complete and finished game at the date it's completed and finished.

Collateral damage.

Will check the guys games out now though. They look great.

@Rich33 yeah using the word "mainstream" was probably a bit too much you are right. But apparently enough going on that the devs gonna think about it.

Hmm. I personally don’t like most AAA games because of exactly the things pointed out here. So I’m actually glad the mainstream is finally starting to become aware of this as well, instead of treating well-made mediocrity as the holy grail.

@get2sammyb I never played the game and only want the Initial D drifting stuff.
But I probably need to put in 10+ hours of the main gameplay to get there I assume.

@Old-Red Exactly. Feel bad contributing to it.

Anyone know if I can somehow just play the Initial D part?

For me console gaming ends with GTA VI. I will get that one, play it till I vomit from it and then I'm out. The future of modern gaming and PlayStation looks too bleak for me.

Of course I am aware that GTA VI is a big part of that future, and that it is shaping it in this bleak direction though.

I don't care about GoW. But Dave is crazy good in all he his. So yeah!

I guess I am officially out of touch now. I thought nobody cared about the MCU anymore.

This looks great. At least the trailer has a lot of beautiful little moments.

@get2sammyb They could just re-release the Ages line that is on Switch. Absolutely amazing versions

—-

On the subject: Man The Conveni looks (and sounds lol) absolutely like my cip of tea. Too bad I can't even barely speak my own language.

And Armadillo Racing … yeah sure.

I just wish the "… Archives" serious would have better icons. They all look so cheap and unappealing. Doesn't motivate me to buy or start a game.

There is a demo available for everyone curious

The future is bright

@BearsEatBeets they where listed before for almost two years though. Just disappeared together with the news from everybody else having issues as well.

@MidnightDragonDX good to know. I thought in so many directions, but never in this one for some reason.

@MidnightDragonDX yes they are bought on another account that is still also logged in on the console. On that account, they are visible in the profile.

I am digital only and have lots of games missing

@BearsEatBeets

I can't name all because a lot of stuff I just tried out on Plus. But these ones where my top playtime spots and they are gone now:

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1&2

WipeOut Omega

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection

@Toot1st That's the reality. I have people around me that have 100+ hours (1K in GTA V) in games and not once opened the graphics menu. They just started the game and never thought about it. Mostly quality mode by default.

@chatbot that's cool!
I always imagine a guy with a Monster can on a gaming chair and LED lights on his wall when reading "PC Master Race". No shade on that though. Even though that aesthetic is completely out of my taste pallet.

I spend probably a whole year on a (non-gaming) chair playing WoW.
Just can't imagine doing that any more.

@get2sammyb And sitting upright in a gaming chair

So this news needs to be updated

Big big big agree here. Now let's get us Ridge Racer 8 uncancelled and all is right in the jungle.

Already in love

@dskatter we get a Barbie collection before a Ridge Racer collection

Ohhhh that makes so much sense

The first one was a bit too on the nose for me. But give the girl short hair and make it all a bit gritty and suddenly I freaking love it.

No idea what this means.

So, AI is basically already taking away our games from us.

It does not appear on the demo category on my psn store. So thanks for this news. Would not have known about it otherwise.

And it makes me wonder what other demos are around that the store is unintentionally hiding.
