Gaming PlayStation 5

I think I might upgrade after a little while. I already own most of the games on the service. The only ones I would potentially play are LOU2, Guardians of the Galaxy, potentially try that weird walking simulator game (forgot what it’s called)
 
Weird. This is what the subject of the email looked like to me:

Darn it. Lemme check with the Desi peeps if they got the email from Sony.
 
In my opinion they have to be judged on a case by case basis. If you look at the Resident Evil 2 remake, that was a brilliant effort to drag an old classic into the modern era, executed pretty much to perfection. Calling that a waste of staff and resources is extremely harsh, to say the least. The remake is pretty much the best Resident Evil game ever made.

In the case of The Last of Us, it just doesn't make sense. The remaster still looks fine and runs at a locked 60 fps, so it is perfectly playable on PS4/PS5. It's just so unnecessary.
RE1 in my opinion is the single greatest Remake of any game i've ever encountered but two is fantastic as well (I wish they had not made the original soundtrack a micro transaction though as people should hear it)

I actually love remakes if they're done well because I guess you could say that more 'serious' gaming was coming into its own around the PS1 and PS2 eras but they were still hampered by the limited technology. If you look at games like Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain and Silent Hill 1 with their voice acting (SR) and atmosphere (SE) they're almost masterpieces...and then you get to the gameplay and you realise it could really use an update.
 
I'm still not sure if I shall upgrade to 'Extra' or 'Premium'.

I'll definitely upgrade at least to 'Extra' because I still have some PS4 games on my wish list. I don't want PS1-PS3 games, so I wouldn't really need 'Premium', but on the other hand it's only a 20€ difference per year and you'll additionally get time-limited game trials (was their any more specific news about what we can expect here?)....hmmm

You can see the US time trials here. I imagine the Europe region won't be much different. Though it'll be expanded in time I don't think it is really worth it right now.

I'd say go for Extra unless you really don't mind paying the additional 20 for Premium. Though the Classics are advertised as mostly PS1-PS3 games, they're weird in that there are some newer versions of classic games there too. So instead of the original Mafia games there's the PS4 Definitive Edition versions and instead of the original TLOU there's the PS4 remastered version.
 
I wonder how the conversion is going to work for a subscription that ends in April. Technically I have almost 10 months left and if I were to upgrade on a full year basis, it’s 160 PLN to go to Extra but monthly difference in price is 21 PLN. So they either charge me for 75% or so of the 160 PLN to upgrade to cover 9/10 months, or they just charge me 21 PLN per month for the 9 months which will obviously be more expensive. This has not really been clarified.

I like that between this and Game Pass games don’t really seem to overlap too much. There’s AC Valhalla here but Origins in GPU, indies are quite similar though GPU has much broader selection obviously. Outside of NBA 2K, 1-2 Switch games per year and maybe 1-2 huge launches (though it has to be something really significant that I am inclined to play day one, eg Witcher 4, GTA6) I don’t really foresee myself spending any money on games going forward.
 
Why were my posts from earlier deleted? I was literally discussing a Sony product.

Yeah mine were deleted too.I believe it’s because the discussion was about new gen consoles in general rather than just PS5 (at least my posts)
 
Can anybody recommend some good multiplayer games?

Every now and then a few mates come round and we used to play COD, taking it in turns to play Rebirth with other mates who were also online. Recently we've played FIFA Ultimate Team but got bored of it.

Want something that is either a really good local multiplayer or something we can play online that you can just take turns playing, that type of thing. Something competitive where you play other people.

Overcooked is a great local multiplayer game. Fat princess is also quite fun for a run through. There’s another game similar to overcooked but on a space ship I believe is also meant to be quite good.

For online shooter take turns. The main ones I’ve played are all games you’ve likely already played - Cod, apex, Fortnite and overwatch.

I upgraded to extra tier today when it got offered to me - I had not owned a PS4 so I have not played most of the games from the last few years. I feel like I am in an amusement park and having to chose which ride to go on next :D
 
is there a separate thread for premium members only?
 
Was able to upgrade to Premium for the remaining 18 days of my subscription for 2.60. More games than I thought, looks good so far. Hope they add a lot more PS1/2 games though.
 
I signed up for the extra tier. Since I finished Spiderman I've been looking forward to this.

Upgraded to the Extra Tier. Added Returnal, Demon's Souls, Hollow Knight so far. Will start downloading Returnal tonite.
Returnal, Demon Souls, Miles Morales and Guardians for me stand out as the PS5 games I'll play first before they go.

Lots of indie titles which I am keen on but will play later.
 
BB is the first FS game I played and still the hardest, I think. Even more so than Sekiro. 90% of Elden Ring is piss easy compared to it. It's also the best FS game, though!
I played Dark Souls Remastered before BB but BB is where I found love for FromSoft game..... Something just clicked with BB for me. The music, the environment, the turn of phases, from evening to night to red moon phase.... its brilliant.

Probably because it was your first. I played it last of all the games before ER came out and I found it the easiest. You just get good at the genre I think.

These two plus Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding are the other games I am looking forward to playing in the near future. Hopefully before the sub ends next January I would have managed to go through at least half of them.
 
I’ve always been intrigued by Elex even though it looks rough I’ve always had a feeling I might enjoy it. Gonna try it now as part of the sub.

Those have been some of my favorite games of the last couple years and I love that they're all on the new PS+.

Demon Souls remake was my first souls game and I fell in love. Played it to NG+2. That then gave me confidence to try Returnal which has jumped into my top 10 favorite games of all time. It's just a visual and adrenaline splendor unlike anything I've ever played. Guardians really surprised me. I was hesitant because I am not fond of the characters in the Marvel movies. But the ones in the game grew on me a lot. Excellent title. MM there's been plenty said. Top top list. Enjoy!

Awesome. In a way it's the start of my proper PS5 playing days. Recently got the console but I've been playing the last leg Lost Judgement which I played mostly on PS4 and now playing some lovely indies in Pyre and Death's Door. Although I did adore Astro's Playroom too. But these will be some real next gen (as best as we can get right now) games.
