Good. No one wants to play those games on consoles. Time to make room for something better.

THC CELL1546d ago

I play them on PlayStation now and they never leave

LOGICWINS1545d ago

Playstation Now caters more towards people who like older 3rd party titles whereas Game Pass caters to people who like newer games.

They wont leave PSNow because you can only stream them, you can't buy them. Games leave Game Pass because while they are on there; they can purchased at a reduced price. Anyone who wants to play these games on XB 1 can just buy them because the machine has native backwards compatibility. Limited time deals just means the company doesn't want the game on the service at a discounted price forever. Makes sense because these two games are dirt cheap anyway.

Rude-ro1545d ago

@logicwins having multiple copies/versions of the same AAA games does not make the selection better.
They offer like 3 titles that can be called new.
If anything, it is ruining your new AAA games per being cheaper products or over priced indies..
But they literally list 3 versions of a tomb raider game and 2 versions of gears 5
90% are fluff titles that should be a part of the the free monthly games the current live subscription service works.

Kribwalker1545d ago

False. Games also leave PSnow


Sony has announced its plans for PlayStation Now over the next few months. In case you'd forgotten, the platform holder added a bunch of high-end PS4 games to the cloud-based service, including God of War, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, and Grand Theft Auto V. The bad news is these games will be removed from PS Now from 2nd January 2020.”

I'm playing Fallout 3 right now on my PlayStation 3 and I've been playing it since it launched in 2008. Some classics never get old 😁

All this means is the timed deal is expiring, thats what a game leaving the service means.

> Grab any achievements you might need ASAP.
Or, just wait until the next sale and pick them up for $9 or less.

Father__Merrin1545d ago

What happens if your still half way through the game and it's taken out of gamepads is the game still there for you to play it?

timotim1545d ago

You can purchase the game at a discounted price and continue playing without having to re-download.

bluefox7551545d ago

Inb4 games leaving a service is somehow a good thing.

timotim1545d ago

It's not like we as subscribers don't already understand this fact. No one lied to us or promised the games will stay on the service forever. These games have been on the service for a while now...anyone that discovered it through XGP and fell in love with them had ample time to play and beat these games...for all others, they can purchase them at a discounted price and continue playing.

Atom6661545d ago

Timed deals are better for the devs and pubs because it alleviates a lot of the speculation over potential negative impacts with going the subcription route, and it allows them to renegotiate higher asking prices on renewels if the game proves popular on the service.

Timed deals are also more effective for the service provider to properly allot funding to new contracts.

Keeping the list of available titles to a curated number prevents new titles from getting buried in an unending pile of older titles.

New titles are more of an interest to attracting subscribers than 10 year old BC games.

And hey, it gives people who don't use it but don't let that stop them from hating on it everyday something to talk about.

Good things all around!

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies19d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken19d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6920d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker20d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6920d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt19d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken19d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave20d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto20d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno20d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai20d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣
