Aranea Highwind Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Quote EA Access is expanding to PlayStation 4 this summer. Starting in July, PS4 owners will be able to take part in the same console subscription service previously exclusive to Microsoft's Xbox One. "As we continue to invest in digital and subscription services, bringing our games to even more people across both consoles is an exciting opportunity for everyone," EA executive VP of strategic growth Matt Bilbey said in a press release. "Our goal is to give players more choice to try and play our games wherever and however they choose and we're happy to bring the service to PlayStation 4." On PS4, you will be able to pay for a monthly $5 USD or annual $30 USD subscription to EA Access. With a subscription, you get access to a vault of free EA titles, such as Titanfall 2, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and FIFA 18. Subscribers also get a 10 percent discount on all digital EA games, as well as their respective expansions and in-game purchases. Perhaps most notable is EA Access' Play First Trials, which typically gives you 10 hours of early access to all new EA titles prior to their official release. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-access-coming-to-ps4-this-july/1100-6466686/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, does anyone know what's in this "vault"? EA has had a lot of good titles over the years, but they've also had a ton of retreads. What about games like Dragon Age or Mass Effect? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth it for the year. I have always wondered about the madden and NHL games having not played them since the megadrive, and you have unravel and Titanfall 2...

DaikichiKawachi Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Battlefront 2 and Titanfall 2 are on sale for less then $5 regularly and Fifa 18 will be 2 years old within months of EA Access releasing. Even at $5 a month there is no value in this service. Aside from the current sports releases they have nothing I'd want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious how people seem to have a hard time understanding the concept of a subscription. You pay to have access to the games. In what possible way are they free? If you didn't pay, you wouldn't have access. The connection between payment and access shouldn't be that hard to grasp, but oh well... Companies make this mistake as well, but at least it's deliberate. As for the content of the EA Vault, if it's the same as on Xbox One it's mostly sport titles, as well as the old Battlefield games, Battlefront one, and a couple of Plant vs Zombies games. Oh, and Dragon Age Inquisition along with some of the old Mass Effect games. Been a few years since I had a subscription though, so the selection is probably better now.

Evil_Joker88 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 It's gonna be 5€ in Germany if it'll be released here but i don't see any benefit for myself. It's a second lottery which games you can play and it can be EA's only so not much that interest me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asvinia Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Awesome, I can pay a subscription to play a load of titles that are £1-4 at most for me to just buy. Thanks EA, really looking out for the customers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the subscription price will get a 70% discount after two weeks just like all their under-performing games? ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for that is because my nephews were using my PSN account. That's why I have them and I never played them, but my nephews used my PSN account to play them because of my foolish dad. Edit: Plus, I also play Insomaniac Games, Sucker Punch and Naughty Dog games because they made great games like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and Sly Cooper. Plus, Activision did something good for once by remastering the Crash Bandicoot PS1 trilogy for PS4, Switch and more. So those three US companies I mentioned count as US games that I enjoyed. Sorry for the confusion there, mate. Edited May 7, 2019 by MMX20 Update 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I have used this service before and thought it was pretty good. But considering half the games are last gen, I don't know how it'll work over here. Definitely a good service for people that buy sports games every year though.

DaivRules Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 This is totally aimed at people who buy 3-4 games per year and they're probably the pew pew games or the move the ball games. I'm fine with that, since market demand will show whether it's worthwhile to them or not. I'd wager less than a single percentage of subscribers will do so for the back catalog of games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Actually, looking at the games in the vault, not really that interesting. Would rather spend twice as much and get ps now with over 200 downloadable games (including several JRPGs I want to play). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYuriG Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I'll sub if the games currently avaiable are interesting enough to me and I do not already own them. More options will never be a bad thing. Already foresee people using this as argument when PS+ games are "bad".

RevengeancePrime Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I'll get it for a month if Jedi: Fallen Order is ever made available. Other than that, I have no desire to subscribe to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgm4789 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 If this was offered by ea back in the ps3 era(back when they made stuff like dead space, the saboteur, or actual good bioware games) id be tempted but current ea ill save my money. I myself am hoping other publishers follow suit with a similar service as id love to see something similar for sega, bandi namco, or even ubisoft since outside jedi fallen order i have no interest in eas current output.

djb5f Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 That’s a good deal for people who like sports games, battlefield, or battlefront. How quickly after release is a title added to this service? Pretty quickly or several months down the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
