[Cert.in.Death]

SoR4 is sublime.
Otherwise, though, this month is way day down the list.

 

[LordCBH]

Games with Gold caliber month.

 

[GHG]

Turning in to games with gold.

 

[hybrid_birth]

Waiting until I see what's included with extra.

Either way letting my sub laspe in July.

Rather rent the games I want to play through gamefly. Than digitally rent at random.

 

[Portugeezer]

Also known as the "spend money on the Days of Play promotions" month.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Ps Plus up on June 9th, this will be the first time I let it expire since Ps Plus came into existence.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Almost GWG level of meh.

 

[Mr Moose]

Shit month.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Streets of Rage 4 is cool, but other than that meh.

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Games with Wood, more like it.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Ugh definitely turning into games with gold

 

[SCB3]

Spongebob seemed fine for kids or if you liked the remaster of Bikini Bottom, Streets of Rage 4 is great, AEW is fucking god awful and I wasted £60 on it

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Tomb Raider Legends, Sly Cooper, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Premium.

Hot damn.

 

[Fake]

No fucking classic? Fuck you.

 

[Blindy]

Whatever month for me, already own Cosmic Shake and Streets of Rage 4(For XBOX). No real interest in AEW Fight Forever but that's the lone game here for me.

Cosmic Shake is solid and SOR4 is fantastic though.

 

[Xtib81]

Can't remember the last time I was interested in one of their free games. Terrible selection after terrible selection.

 

[LordCBH]

Tomb Raider Legends, Sly Cooper, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Premium.

Hot damn.

Fuck yeah PS2 games are finally coming back! Hopefully they can get the PS2 ratchets up there, and hopefully new versions of the Jak games that don’t run like a 700 pound land whale in the heat

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

No fucking classic? Fuck you.

It's all in the same blog post in the OP, idk why he doesn't include it in the OP.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Games with Gold caliber month.

Let's not get crazy here. Cosmic shake and and Sor 4 are at least good/great games that have name value. Gold months would have shit nobody has ever heard of.

 

[diffusionx]

Did Sony fix the PS2 emulator in PS5? I heard it's all screwed up.

Noooooo....cosmic shake is really bad compared to bfbb. It's a total skip. Even for kids, it's not funny and boring.

 

[Salz01]

It’s as if things are getting worse and we are paying more for it.

 

[nial]

No fucking classic? Fuck you.

It's all in the same blog post in the OP, idk why he doesn't include it in the OP.

And the OP is for Essential, anyway. Extra and Premium announcement should be next month.

It's on the Days of Play Post

Did Sony fix the PS2 emulator in PS5? I heard it's all screwed up.

It was always different for each game, especially when playing on PS5 BC. Stuff like Ape Escape 2 was completely broken, while other games like Rogue Galaxy were generally fine.
This should be a new emulator, anyway, so we have to see how well it does.

 

[dotnotbot]

This is going to be new emulator dedicated to ps5, we will see how well it works.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

We all know SOR4 Is amazeballs and one of the best modern beat em ups,but, if you've played it to death (like me) and want/are in the mood for another good side scrolling beat 'em up, The Takeover is right up there with the best - it might look janky and leave you with a bad impression at first (the menus are horrible as is the soundmix, no vibration function etc) but G'damn if the gameplay isn't awesome, plus, it features 2 stages/minigames lifted straight up from the 90's 3D Sega golden era (car chasing and Afterburner).
Also : the OST is banger after banger, really nice stuff !

Got it a couple of days ago and can't stop playing it

 

[xrnzaaas]

Streets of Rage 4 was great, I played it thanks to Game Pass, very casually since I'm not heavy into fighting games in general. Thankfully there's a ton of difficulty levels to pick from.

 

[Kupfer]

I won't miss my expiring subscription next month

It was fun for a few years, but lately it just sucks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This isn't an emulator. It's what they do with some ps1/psp games where they natively port them to PS4/5 with a few upgrades.

 

[analog_future]

Cosmic Shake is a good bit of fun. Better than I expected it to be.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

And I just bought Streets of Rage 4 last month on sale.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The worst month is the one they supposedly have their conference / State of Play?

Something's weird...i'd bet something bigger is coming they haven't announced yet but who knows.

 

[gothmog]

I'm personally excited about:

PS VR2 games​

(Available on June 6 for Premium members)

• Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord
• Walkabout Mini Golf
• Synth Riders
• Before Your Eyes
• The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapters 1 & 2

 

[tmlDan]

Nothing for me this month in essential, but the other announcements got me more excited, like PSVR2 games and classics

 

[Lupin25]

Yup.

Seems like if you want good extra games you’ll have to pay extra prices too on subscriptions. The mid-tier is the focus to “compete” with XGP.

Edit: and how tf isn’t TLOU 1 Remake in the catalog yet? Insane.

 

[scydrex]

My Plus extra end in july. Don't see anything that justify the increase in prices. This is what they give for $80?

 

[buenoblue]

Just got a new GPU so I'm gonna cancel my plus for a while. Might even sell PS5 and wait for the pro

 

[Kuranghi]

I'm pretty sure I already have SoR4 and I don't think I bought it, did it come free through some other promotion service at some point?

Noooooo....cosmic shake is really bad compared to bfbb. It's a total skip. Even for kids, it's not funny and boring.

Glad someone else feels the same way as me, I never played the original BFBB and fucking loved the remake, tweaked the graphics via ini and made it look absolutely sublime. Had great fun 100%ing it.

I was so excited for TCS and I think I spent longer fixing the graphics than actually playing the game, what a letdown.... somehow they managed to offer way worse image quality by default than BBFB so now I wasn't tweaking it to make it pedant-perfect and remove effects I disliked I had to edit ini files just to make it not a blurry mess. Ended being a big waste of time as well which was so frustrating

I stopped on the film set level, it was just a subpar game, right below swimming in 7 level, couldn't bear to drag myself through it.

 

[KimDongHwan]

Why does it feel like this games (and most of the other month's games too) have already been on the service in some way or another? Sometimes it feels like games jump from being free from one tier to another (or maybe I am combining also with Gamepass)

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Games with Wood, more like it.

I always game with wood

 

[Fbh]

Terrible month.
I mean streets of rage is pretty good but also pretty old at this point.
The rest is terrible

Yup.

Seems like if you want good extra games you’ll have to pay extra prices too on subscriptions. The mid-tier is the focus to “compete” with XGP.

Edit: and how tf isn’t TLOU 1 Remake in the catalog yet? Insane.

Extra, the mid tier, has been pretty shitty as of late too.
This month the highlight is Red Dead 2...which had already been on the service when it was cheaper.

The best month by far this year has actually been on the Essential tier: Back in January when we got Plague Tale Requiem, Evil West and Nobody Saves the World.

 

[Generic]

Remember when Sony promised to improve the PS+ service after the price increase

 

[consoul]

SoR4 is great, but all of us Beat-Em-Up fans already bought it. :/

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I’m glad that RDR2 was added because this is pretty slim pickings for me
