I just saw this, as a PS Now and GP sub this is great for me, i'll likely pay for the highest tier whatever that may be.

Was really waiting for details on this for a long ass time.

 

[sircaw]

Looking forward to seeing what they do with my current sub.

Straight-up conversion i guess.

Also, hope the games collection has a few more games added to it, Ghost of Tsushima and Tlou2 would be epic.

Bless Jim Ryan Go PlayStation Nation yadayadayada

Can't wait to move on from this garbage

 

[mckmas8808]

Does anybody think GTA+ will be added to Spartacus for the first 6 months? It's kinda odd with the timing and all.....

 

[T-Cake]

Can't wait to see what happens with existing subscribers. It could be beneficial (as in everyone gets the most expensive tier for their remaining subscription) or a complete catastrophe.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Native ps3 ports is the only thing that will get me to sub to this

 

[kingpotato]

Would be awesome if online play goes entirely free in the process

 

[Draugoth]

So a fusion of PS Now with PS Plus?

Curious to see where this will go.

 

[Bryank75]

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Doubt this will be what people want (a true GP rival)

Demos are cool but I ain’t paying 15/mo for that privilege

 

[BennyBlanco]

Wild be awesome if online play goes entirely free in the process

 

[Belthazar]

I wonder if it'll be worldwide this time. Also hopeful the PS1/2/3 rumors are true, it's what got me the most interested in the service.

 

[NonPhixion]

"is preparing to introduce a new video game subscription service for the PlayStation as early as next week"

I hear it's next Friday....

 

[AtomicStarving]

Let me guess. EUA, Europe and Japan only?

They can't compete with Game Pass releasing this only on selected countries.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Throwing in one of those Funimation/Crunchyroll merged subs would be nice.

Retro trophy support for PS1 classics is what I personally would like to see.

Curious to watch the reveal regardless.

 

[Draugoth]

It could be worth it if they made this a single service for all things PlayStation ( Games + Now + Online Play)

 

[Pantz]

PS1-PS3 games or you'll be sucked

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

Sportacus?

Let's see how much it is similar to gamepass.

 

[remember_spinal]

It could be worth it if they made this a single service for all things PlayStation ( Games + Now + Online Play)

Isn’t that exactly what this is?

 

[Draugoth]

Isn’t that exactly what this is?

No, it seems they will make it a tier service

Anyway, i heard they will be revealing it Wednesday 4:30pm GMT.

 

[xHunter]

Prediction: Converting from PS+ and PS Now to this is going to be a clusterfuck, they will cave in a week later and people will still be mad a year after.

 

[Thirty7ven]

10$ saying this will be a completely mediocre and weak rebrand of what already exists.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Hopefully it's available on PC worldwide unlike the ps now utter failure. That's the only way it can compete with game pass.

I'll sub to play a few PS3 games and Bloodborne via streaming.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

20$ that this guy is right

 

[Draugoth]

20$ that this guy is right

Im also beting people will be disappointed.

Unless they release a patch for Bloodborne, then people will very likely love it lol

Everyone will be too busy review bombing GT7 on Metacritic while simultaneously subscribing to GTA+ to even notice this launch.

 

[lh032]

as long its an improvement to ps plus im in.
I have low expectations actually, lol at people thinking this is going to rival gamepass.

 

[ethomaz]

Jason posted it so 99% chance it is right.

 

[Bryank75]

Most expensive tier seems completely irrelevant.

20$ that this guy is right

30$ that this guy is right about the other guy being right.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[arvfab]

"Most expensive tier gives access to demos"

I don't see the sense in this, but if true we went from free demos and free online to paid online and paid demos within 2 generations...

 

[VN1X]

Doubt this will be what people want (a true GP rival)

Demos are cool but I ain’t paying 15/mo for that privilege

Especially when you have those Steam festivals which roll around with hundreds of demos every so often for free. There's even one happening now with a smattering of new things to try.

(all of this is to say: "Hail Gabe", I suppose)

 

[Neff]

most expensive tier gives ability to stream games

I thought we could do this already...

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Why do they keep calling it a Game Pass competitor. When everything we have heard makes it seem more like Nintendo Online.

 

[iorek21]

The highest tier will include early access to Goodbye Volcano High, Life is Strange 4 and the highly anticipated sequel to Abby's self-discovery in TLOU2's expansion "Woke Firefly".

 

[akaFullmetal]

Hey if it's a nice subscription with Funimation/crunchy roll, psnow, PlayStation plus. It might be worth it. People expecting Sony gamepass will probably be disappointed, even though Sony never has said it would be that.
I'll wait and see how it all comes out.

 

[Bragr]

What is going on with everyone using the LOL response to fuck with each other, what sort of troll trend is this.

 

[itsjustJEFF]

Deadass it would be so funny if they just called it Spartacus

Not so sure about the tier's... I'll have to see whats up with those.

 

[DForce]

I don't see the point unless there are a lot of PS1-PS3 games that you can play natively on your PS4/PS5 console that includes trophies.

If they someone also added a PornTube or Porn service as the cherry on top... it would be the ultimate gamer subscription service LOL

 

[sinnergy]

Sony Gamepass but haven’t you heard from Sony fans you get Netflix games

 

[Thirty7ven]

Most expensive tier seems completely irrelevant.

Seriously, they must doing a lot of coke at Jim’s mansion.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Sony Gamepass but haven’t you heard from Sony fans you get Netflix games

They already had them, PSNow was a thing since 2014.

Nobody gave a shit then, Sony gamer's seem content with buying their games still.

 

[reksveks]

Why do they keep calling it a Game Pass competitor. When everything we have heard makes it seem more like Nintendo Online.

Sony or the media?

The media because they believe that consumers will compare the two when deciding what platform +service to buy into. I am kinda with them on that.

[Heisenberg007]

30$ that this guy is right about the other guy being right.

Count me in too.

 

[DJ12]

I really couldn't give a shit about streaming games, but if I can get better stuff from PSN+ for no or a little extra I'm all for it.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

PS Now is not even available worldwide and that thing was released on 2014/2015 IIRC. I don't really expect Spartacus to be available on every market either and that's a negative unless they are planning a surprise worldwide release. Also they would need to start adding PS5 games to PS Now and maybe even adding something more to the base PS Plus tier, like adding more games to the PS Plus Collection. I think everything will come down to the price.
Personally, I'm not really interested and it doesn't really sound that good either but I'll wait and see.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Don't care,still paying 70 dollars.
