starcrunch061 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Their upper-tier subscription feels like something I'll turn on for a month or so, before ditching it (and that assumes that PS1/PSP games have trophies). All in all, it's pretty underwhelming to me, though my interest was in legacy games, and not PS4/PS5 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy titles are pretty much the most common reason we're all trying this out, if the ps1 ps2 and psp games aren't up to snuff, it's not a good sign for this service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NxtDoc Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) This is very good in my opinion. Once they get rid of the Streaming ONLY of PS3 titles to a more native experience, then I don't know how anyone could complain... IF ACTUALLY UTILIZED. Meaning playing and beating the games. Not just subscribing for the sake of subscribing Edited May 16, 2022 by NxtDoc Correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Joker88 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I'm happy to be able to play Spiderman and AC Valhalla soon but this list of games included is very underwhelming by the amount of games shown. Most stuff is available already on PS NOW and i think they should show more new games as those others will continue to be played through the new sub system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can upgrade your tier for the remainder of the subscription period, but it is no longer possible to upgrade for an arbitrary amount of time, as it was when you could subscribe to PSNow independently. So either you pay the monthly rate for PS+ Essential to be flexible, or you have to commit to the upper tier for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I’ll let ps+ lapse, then, and wait for a monthly discount to pick it up again. Better get to platting stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere, but I don't doubt that's the initial plan since I have very low expectations of Sony engineers being able to handle allowing custom upgrade months mid-subscription to be ready at launch. If it's not their long term plan, it's contradictory to offering a service that practically targets and serves impulsive behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Spider-Man has 3 DLCs. If you have to buy those separately, that's pretty bad. Spider-Man won't have dlcs. They would call it Spider-Man GOTY. Sony has to earn money.

This is the part that most caught my attention as well ? As someone who owns a mountain of digital PS1 games on my PS3, I sure hope they’re referring to those digital versions of games. Something tells me trophies don’t play a part since they said you can save state and rewind PS1 games now, however I’ll be plenty happy to know that some of my classics will be playable on newer hardware with no extra costs involved. It sucks for those who have physical collections, but I guess we can’t expect them to be too generous ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Good start, better than when Game Pass first started that's for sure. Definitely a great pickup point for those who are coming to PlayStation from another ecosystem. I'll go up to premium once it has more Classic games available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShaka Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Very disappointed that only ps1 and psp games previously purchased will be part of the catalog. But, on second thought kinda relieved because I wouldn't pay more money (a new subscription) to play the games that I already purchased when (as it looks right now) there's nothing added, like at least trophy support. This service is good probably for new users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda funny as my sister in law who's never played a lot of these would benefit from it.... if she didnt have me who buys most of the games and got her a ps5 and can just let her borrow games whenever. 12 minutes ago, Stan Lee said: Good start, better than when Game Pass first started that's for sure.

SegaJAM Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The most concerning thing here is what happens to all the current titles on PS Now? Are they all being removed for this pathetic amount of titles? PS Now currently has a ton of great variety, I was hoping that the transition was simply building off what already existed.

rockhopper78 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) I must say I’m pretty underwhelmed by the initial list. I buy most of the games I want when they’re brand new. And I have most of the games on the list. Either through buying them new or a lot were already on ps plus or plus collection. And if I don’t they were games I mostly didn’t care to play anyways. However I never got around to playing directors cuts of Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima so I’m looking forward to those. Things I was hoping to see were Dark Souls 2 and 3, and Sekiro. Because I never played them. I was hoping to see original Spider Man ultimate for PS5 since I didn’t get that version. Only ps4 one, but they don’t even include ps5 version. But hopefully those will come in a later month. What I really hope to see addressed is the question of third party games coming to the service on day one. Xbox does deals with third parties to put games on game pass. I know Sony will not put first party games on the service day one cause the quality of the games would deteriorate. But what about third parties? I mean hell they even have MLB the show on game pass, which I don’t care about, but that’s got to be a slap in the face not to even put it on your own service for fans of that game. If they have deals set to come with new third party games then I’m all in. Otherwise it’s just too expensive to cost $100-$120 a year and on top of that expect people to pay $60-$70 for any new game that comes out, which I buy a lot of the big games when they’re brand new. And then also the time frame on games coming to the service. The way it looks as of now, Returnal is the most recent game, to come out on the service and that came out like 13-14 months ago. So I’m hoping the time frame for new releases to be on the service eventually won’t be as long, so I can cut down on costs and not have to decide if I want to wait a year or more to play the next big game. Anyways that my long two cents. Edited May 16, 2022 by rockhopper78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Personally, the list is underwhelming like others have stated, but it's a great list for those who don't buy games a lot or just got a PS5.

TimeLordCrow13y Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Very underwhelming, IMO. Most of these games (that I’m interested in) I either already own or want to own, not rent. For now I’ll just cross my fingers that if they do add anything interesting (hard to find/classic PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, & PS Vita games, particularly those with newly added trophy support) they’ll also be available to buy, and not just rent through this service.
