Control Ultimate Edition on PS Plus allowed the upgrade to PS5. Wonder why Sony are being dicks toward those who bought their new systems?

[Chainsaw_charlie]

Sure they're paid services, but we're talking literally $2-5 a month. Junk food costs more than that. They're already practically giving them away, so it's not reasonable to expect the latest or complete editions.

Oddworld is a new release, but only the PS5 version is on PS+. That means the overwhelming majority of PS+ users can't play it. "Why didn't Sony just give away both?" "Why is PS+ Collection only available for PS5 owners?"

I think it was to give people who bought the PS5 some games to play on it when there were no exclusives

anyone know why plat prices.com is showing a couple games for free that don't appear to be?

But when you follow the links to those in the App Store, there's no way to even add them to your cart.

Are those PS Now titles?

[darken]

I believe that those are free PS5 upgrades for owners of the ps4 version

The reason I would argue this when it comes to Avengers is because the next-gen update is included if you own the base version of the game. I could understand if it was a $10 upgrade like some other cross-gen games.

As small as the cost of PS+ may be, unless Sony truly gives a game away (most recently Ratchet and Clank), all games through PS+ or PSNow are rentals. Once you stop paying, you lose access.

I think you kind of explained it with your own post, you get the PS5 upgrade if you own the game. You do not own the game on PS Now. As much as I think it should be included and I imagine these instances will be fixed in the future, it makes some sense to not include it since you didn't buy the game. I don't believe there are any PS5 games on PS Now, so maybe once that changes these upgrades will be included. I imagine Square Enix probably only included the PS4 version to drum up some sales for the PS5 version.

What? Nuh uh...

Has anyone confirmed this? Can we have the boys in the lab get on this asap?

[awp]

I have both GamePass and PS Now and this is just another reason why I won’t renew PS Now. There are other reasons but any game on GP always gets upgraded to the next gen version (when it’s a free upgrade). Very annoying.

[TheLegendofTyler]

Gamepass is a better service than PS Now, I'm not sure anyone is arguing otherwise.

[awp]

Yeah, I was just thinking when I saw Avengers and Borderlands 3 that they were good adds to PS Now. But the lack of upgrades kind of soured me on it. Think it was a missed opportunity to earn some goodwill for PS5 owners who have Now.

You’re questioning if you lose PS+ games if you stop having a PS+ subscription?

Nah it was just him being a prick as per usual. That's stoches default setting.

For those of you with more USB devices than the 3 connections on the PS5, I bought this and it's working fine

https://www.amazon.c...0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I wasn't sure if it needed to be powered or not but doing some research stated that you did not need a powered one. There are even cheaper ones too but this one got a lot of good reviews. Remember, any external storage you buy needs to be plugged directly into the rear USB ports of the PS5.

[Jiryn]

So, did Sony ever say what's going to happen to all the PS+ games on the PS3?
Will they become ours? Will we still need a + account to play them, even though they are shutting a majority of the features off?

Cause, there are still a handful of games I'd like to keep somehow when the servers shut down.

Also, how do I check if the game is PS+ or not.

[Freeze Time]

I looked around but couldn't find an answer to the following question: If you play a PS5 enhanced PS4 game off an external HDD, do you get the enhancements like 60 FPS and faster load times? I can try this myself as Rachet and Clank is currently on my HDD and updated to the PS5 patch so I can see if I can run it at 60 FPS and time the load times and then move it to the internal memory and compare the result but I was hoping someone already knew so I wouldn't have to do all that haha.

Yes, it works fine on an external drive. I keep all of my PS4 games on my external SSD and all of the games with unlocked framerates run great on it.

All they are doing is disabling the ability to purchase PS3 games.  You will still be able to download the games that you have already purchased.  They're not going to convert PS+ games over to own, it will work the same way as it always has: the one you've "purchased" you will be able to download.

Getting really annoyed and impatient waiting for a sale on Umihara Kawase Fresh. It's worse because the Switch version can be found for half price or less, and a new copy even comes with a collectible Super Nintendo game box. PS4 feels like a second class citizen.

[Hypebeast69]

So about that gta v monthly free 1 million thing, u can just basically purchase it from the store every month and don’t need to have the game installed? I uninstalled that joint

I got it new ages ago. I never got a collectible box with the Switch version. Just clearing that up unless it's a special item somewhere. Mine looks like a normal switch case. It has a full color manual though, which is pretty rare.

 

Edit: Assuming from Nicalis store, which does come with goodies. It plays perfectly on the Switch. Game kind of sucks in a way being kind of boring, but that's something else.

[keyblader1985]

I mean with the gameplay, you know exactly what to expect so it's hard to be surprised. The only major difference to my knowledge is that apparently there's a town and quests and such.

I'm considering just buying it at full price. But then I'm also strongly considering buying a Switch, and I'd love to be able to play that game on a portable.

That's good to know. I have seen youtube vids where the PS4 game takes much longer to load from an external drive and other where the load times are almost identical but none have gone over PS5 enhanced games off an external.

Other details probably play a part like brand/quality and speed. Assuming they wern't identical externals in the vids.

I enjoyed the Sly games especially Thieves in Time. Bought The Sly Collection from PSN for $4.99 back when Amazon still had forums and someone posted a link to some iffy deal site that turned out to work. Liked them enough to track down Thieves in Time on ebay and had a good time with it.

SoulCal is decent. It’s certainly no SC2, or even SC3, but I think I preferred it over 4 and 5. Not that I played a lot of those.

If you’ve played the original Dissidia, 012 is basically more of the same. There’s an overworld this time, but I actually kinda preferred the grid from the first, it was visually boring but at least it was to the point. The additions are nice, but overall it’s more of a large expansion than a sequel. If you’ve only played NT, though, it’s pretty different (and I’d personally say 012 is much better). If you haven’t played any Dissidia all and you’re find the idea of playing Final Fantasy characters flying crazily around large arenas in one-on-one battles interesting, it might be worth checking out depending on the price. I liked it, and it’s probably the best entry in the series. I think the first is included, too, but is only unlocked after beating the sequel campaign.
