I really hope this isn't them sending Stray out to die because it's meh. Was looking forward to a good cat game.

 

[FoundryMusic]

- five AssCreed games

They'll suddenly be reappraised now.

 

[tmlDan]

great list of games, keep up the pace.

• Paw Patrol on a Roll! | PS4

Awww shucky ducky !

 

[Belthazar]

Amazing refresh for new games but the classics are pretty meh.

I really hope this isn't them sending Stray out to die because it's meh. Was looking forward to a good cat game.

Fall Guys releasing on PS+ made it one hell of a success, not to mention Gamepass day one games being pretty common. Stray is receiving a lot of press, which would probably not happen without this deal (not to mention they must've gotten a lot of money from Sony)

I really hope this isn't them sending Stray out to die because it's meh. Was looking forward to a good cat game.

It's like 2-4 hours long, so probably for the best.

 

[poodaddy]

Super stoked for Stray, I've got really high hopes for that.

 

[Bartski]

how's ACUnity on PS5?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

The best deal in gaming gets better and better.

 

[Trogdor1123]

They are going to gut the ps+ games shortly, won’t they?

Classics Catalog lineup for PlayStation Plus Premium members ​

• No Heroes Allowed! (PSP)
• LocoRoco Midnight Carnival (PSP)

Jesus, the classics catalog will be painful every month won't it?

Expectations: Tomb Raider
Reality: No Heroes Allowed

 

[nominedomine]

Stray, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade provide good value but damn it if it already feels they'll completely give up on the retro library.

I honestly can't understand how a service this size doesn't have a dedicated team curating a proper library of classics, working on providing better emulation, etc.

These AC games are worthless, anyone could've had them for peanuts at this point.

 

[SonyCunt1234]

Yikes. That classics selection is pitiful. Downgrading my sub in December once it comes up for renewal.

 

[LordCBH]

Assassins Creed Unity? Fuck yeah. Once most of the bugs were ironed out, I fucked loved that game.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Yikes. That classics selection is pitiful. Downgrading my sub in December once it comes up for renewal.

The Extra tier is honestly amazing if they keep this up.
The Premium, i'll have it until October next year and that's it if it keeps up like this tbh.

 

[wvnative]

It's pretty obvious the classics are a complete gimmick and afterthought. The extra tier is pretty good though.

 

[Jormatar]

I don't really care about the AC games but I'm looking forward to try Stray and FF7R:I.

 

[pokel122]

Wait that cant be the complete premium list lmao. right?

 

[SonyCunt1234]

The Extra tier is honestly amazing if they keep this up.
The Premium, i'll have it until October next year and that's it if it keeps up like this tbh.

Yeah that's what I meant. Just downgrade to the middle tier where it seems like the majority of their effort is going.

 

[mejin]

Damn, really great.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

the classics catalog is baffling because if they did nothing but put sequels to games already on the service it would more than double, probably triple in size. literally nothing but sequels alone.

insane how much potential is there and not being used.

 

[CatLady]

It's like 2-4 hours long, so probably for the best.

Is that an actual fact or are you speculating? I'm hoping it's longer than that, I'm looking forward to playing it eventually, but that's really, really short.

 

[GymWolf]

Nice try square.

 

[R6Rider]

how's ACUnity on PS5?

Honestly Unity is pretty damn good as far as older style AC games go. I liked it more than Black Flag and Syndicate.

Still no 60fps for PS5 since on Series X it has FPS Boost. Still worth playing, but probably the worst version to play if you have a choice.

 

[Woody Nvincible]

So my stupid ass thought I'd be able to play the ps5 catalog on the PC. Nope, plus half the available games don't launch. At least they gave a full refund.

 

[Punished Miku]

Stray is carrying the month. It's still good value for the price, but not exactly an exciting line up. I've seen worse though. Avengers was fun for a little bit. Iron Man has some cool sections. Didn't finish it though.

So do they do 1 update monthly around the 19th? What is the schedule?

 

[Isa]

Really bummed I can't access RE Director's Cut still even though I bought it years ago. I can still play it on my Vita, but I'm old and like playing on my big screen. No way I'm shelling out 150 space bucks for a single game when the classics list is that bad, good lord man. I thought I'd be the demographic for the higher tiers but I own most everything there apart from Stray, and I'll just buy that normally. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, I was just hoping for a real showing of support for classics but I was worried it'd be like their PS2 classics support on PS4, and I think my suspicions were right. They have such an amazing catalog I'd drop games right now to play.

 

[Belthazar]

Is that an actual fact or are you speculating? I'm hoping it's longer than that, I'm looking forward to playing it eventually, but that's really, really short.

It's pure speculation, the devs already said it's 8 hours long on average. There's a 2 hour Speedrun trophy but that's like saying Uncharted 4 is a 6 hours game because there's a trophy for bearing the game in that timeframe.

 

[R6Rider]

I had a small amount of hope that Escape Academy would be included, but no surprise.

 

[SpokkX]

Haha wtf is this??

2 psp games for premium? Old 30fps ass creed games? Paw patrol?

Double facepalm

Two new PSP games. No PS One or PS2 stuff. Fuuuuuuuck.

It seems the refresh is announced on the second Wednesday of the month and the games become available on the third Tuesday.

It's Jim Ryan and Sony being 100% lazy! They need MS to push them some more. The only bad thing about PS+ nowadays is the Classics library.

That avatar... Wtf kind of bet did you lose?

 

[Belthazar]

What? That makes absolutely no sense... I wonder if those games will be released worldwide and it's just an error on the US blogpost

 

[skit_data]

They need to do better for Premium users, 2 psp games I’m not interested in isn’t good enough.

Edit: Wtf, Dino Crisis only in italy? Wth?!

 

[Xaero Gravity]

how's ACUnity on PS5?

900p 30fps unless you play a physical copy and keep it unpatched

 

[R6Rider]

Ass of Can Whooping

 

[Captain Toad]

Well, well, well.

Xbox players talking all that smack about their huge get for GamePass in July. Oh, how they went on and on about how a company as small as Sony couldn't land the big dog like Microsoft.

But, wouldn't you know. PS+ is getting the game too. So, sorry Xbox bros, but PlayStation Plus gamers will also be enjoying PawPatrol at no extra charge!

Well, maybe something other than MS is needed to be able to push them. Odds are they will just keep doing a terrible job with the classics library and the PS+ Extra will carry them, damb shame.

How is MS work with the original Xbox catalog btw? PC gamepass doesn't have it so I don't know how it's going. Big advantage here for Sony if they had the decency of doing a good job because the PS1/PS2/PSP libraries are extremely rich.

 

[bender]

Looking forward to Stray. Need more classics though.

I wanted to see the total votes in the GoW avatar bet thread and without reading the rules in the OP I voted 2023 to see the totals and ended up winning this fabulous avatar

 

[Camreezie]

Why the fuck are italy getting exclusive additional titles

 

[balls of snow]

It's like 2-4 hours long, so probably for the best.

Now take that 4 a multiply it by that 2 and you'll get the time to beat.
