Gaming PlayStation 5

Don’t know if already been asked but does anyone know how often or long the games that are free to download on this new PS Plus service are available for?

I know GP update their catalog quite fairly and games come & go on their but usually you get a message when a specific game or two are leaving the service and when.
I hope they come up with a system where we get an update. As of now it seems games mention the expiry date when there is when one - like RDR2 mentions September
 
Finished the main story in Miles. I really liked it!

The two biggest issues are that it's too short and I didn't really care for the story.

I wouldn't feel like I got my money's worth at £45, but it was well worth the cost of PS Plus for a month. I finished the main story in about 8 hours.

I won't go into the story but I thought Phin came across as a physco

The strength of these games remains the gameplay.

It was still as fun as ever to swing around New York and they did actually change up the combat enough to make Miles different from playing as peter. The new venom powers were fun to use, although a bit too OP. Like the first game, the default difficulty is on the easy side.

One thing I really liked in this was using stealth. The bad guys AI is still laughable but maybe a bit better than the first game? Either way, it's fun trying to clear a room without being spotted.

The game looks pretty good on the PS5, I played on performance mode RT and I loved the 60fps. I still shrug at RT, though.

Overall, I would recommend this, but not at full price. 8/10

I saw an article saying that the UK PS plus premium service will have Resident Evil 4,5 and 6 but I can only find them available for purchase?

I guess the list I saw was wrong?

The narrative itself isn't anything special but I really liked Miles as a character. I loved the way Harlem embraced him as "their" Spider-Man, that was well done. Hopefully he gets a big playable role in the next full game.
 
So on all the lists, and on the PS store itself, it says that it's Spiderman GOTY edtion is the one on Extra, however when i go to download it, it's only the standard?

I think theres multiple versions of it available for download. Did you download the right one?
 
I’m going to upgrade to premium. What are the games I should be playing on my shiny new ps5? :D

Definitely play Astro’s Playroom 1st I’d say. Absolute incredible game that showcases the controller’s full potential. Plus easy platinum if you are into trophy collecting?

Astro is the perfect opener for the Ps5. I had a stupid grin on my face throughout.
 
I think everyone should have Astro as their first PS5 game. You're already buzzing because you've got the console, and then there's this lovely little game to introduce you to the new features, while supplying a hearty dose of nostalgia.

It's kind of like those sweet little shorts before a Pixar/Disney film.
 
Looking at this PS extra game list, I'm going to play Lost Legacy, next. Thoughts? I've only played Uncharted 4 in the series.
 
Pretty much and I think haptic feedback too and probably some other bits. The way I upgraded mine I think i had to pay a tenner but had the disc version.

Ah is it? I want to replay the first one on the ps5 so that's great
Oops' Just checked and it's 'game of the year' not remastered.

If it helps, people sell the code for spiderman remastered on ebay for pretty cheap. That's how I got mine.
 
A few hours into Death Stranding and some positives and negatives. To get the negatives out of the way, this is a little one, but I don’t like the fact you can’t turn the music off. I would enjoy it much better just to have some ambient music playing while I traverse the land, rather than be forced to listen to the (not very good) music. Not a big deal, really. Just a gripe.

Also, this is not a surprising one because we’re dealing with Kojima here who’s basically a very frustrated movie director, but it is cut-scene heavy. At least it has been so far. Again, par for the course with Kojima , and while I like how unique the story and charters are, I can already feel myself wanting to skip them because —

The gameplay is so satisfying! On paper, it sounds so bland and tedious, but it’s really not. Planning out my routes so that I don’t traverse land that’s too inhospitable is super rewarding. The mechanics are quite intuitive and I like how they drip-feed you new things to do while not making it seem overwhelming. This is a game that makes finding a ladder on a particularly harsh piece of terrain exhilarating. The encounters with the BTs are tense and genuinely disconcerting as you try to creep past them, and the game both looks and plays amazingly (I'm playing the Directors Cut version).

It’s just a really rewarding experience so far.

Nice summary. I’m looking forward to giving this one a go in due course.
 
It is, but don't expect it to last long!
That's why I'm playing it first. I light comfy ride to enjoy some next gen gaming. Sometimes I like shorter games tbh as I find many games boring me towards the last few acts.

Go for it. I haven't played it but played 1 through 4 and heard people say it is one of the best. Also, as it is an Uncharted game it won't last that long so not really got anything to lose.

Thanks for the reminder, put that on my list.
 
Must say I'm very pleased with the range of games. Loads of indie titles to try out too. The streaming works really well for me too, zero lag so far, so don't even need to download a lot of them.

It’s a top game and I think the cutscenes balance out a bit better mid game, if you do make it to the end though be prepared for a movie length ending.

The only misstep was that last part. Otherwise it was a really superb game.

Kojima better bring his next to playstation
 
Ah no worries, ill keep an eye out for that, cheers!

If you own Miles Morales I think you should be able to upgrade your PS4 version of Spiderman. I borrowed my friend's Morales disc and then it gave me the option to upgrade Spiderman to Spiderman Remastered. Not sure if/how that works for digital copies of Morales.
 
Just out of interest, why do you think Sony didn't do all they could to keep Kojima Productions on board for this gen? Death Stranding was one of the best games they released on PS4. I find it kinda sus
 
So just to check the Spider-Man game is remastered version?

Be interesting to see what you think of it if you complete the game. Easily one of my favourite games of the PS4 era but oh boy, it's certainly not for everyone :nervous:
