So what I should’ve done was pass this up on the 360, pass these up on PS4, and now get them? makes sense.

LOGICWINS1147d ago

I personally never played Rise or Shadow, but I loved the OG reboot on PS4. One of the few 1080p/60fps games at the time. I may pick this up if I see it for $20 on a sale.

seanpitt231147d ago

The first 2 was good I finished them played the 3rd one as it was free on psplus but lost interest after a couple of hours.. don’t have that much time on my hands like I did before and the game wasn’t pulling me in

Mr Pumblechook1147d ago

Not to be pedantic but the Blood Ties mission isn’t listed.

jznrpg1147d ago (Edited 1147d ago )

The Reboot was great but the two after just didn’t do it for me at all and I just stopped playing after a bit

i played Shadow of TR ...It s a very good game indeed ..they ve done ton of work on it...Extremely good environments /visuals/models etc (comparable to Uncharted 4 and very simlar gameplay ..it s a solid AAA

LOGICWINS1147d ago

Based on that recommendation, I’ll pick it up!

nevin11147d ago

Shadow of TR(and UC4) sucked big time. Just walking, climbing and boring cutscenes.

ActualWhiteMan1147d ago

@Nevin what were you expecting… a first person shooter? 🤣

Neonridr1147d ago

I mean eventually everything comes in a collection or remastered set. Gotta take the plunge sometimes.

stiggs1147d ago

Hey everyone, CrimsonWing69 has already played these games so the Survivor Trilogy is cancelled.

Sorry everybody else who has interest in this release. Sorry.

CrimsonWing691147d ago (Edited 1147d ago )

Or y’know, you could freaking do what we used to do and just buy them on the console they were released on. Geezus how did you survive any generation before the PS4?

I’m definitely in the camp of releasing new games on a new console instead of revisiting the games over and over again regardless of whether others played it or not. If you missed out, relive it on the platform it was released on.

I didn’t complain when I couldn’t play NES games on a SNES or PS2 games on a PS3. These are simply cash grabs. Why can’t we just get a new Tomb Raider game instead?

For a split second I thought this was like the original games, I got super excited.

Jls11147d ago

Not sure this was needed both rise and shadow were free ps plus

LOGICWINS1147d ago

Paying a monthly or yearly fee to maintain a game in your library isn’t “free”.

Jls11147d ago

Ps plus is the cost of 1 game. How many months are there in a year, do the math.

rdgneoz31147d ago

$60 or around $40 on sale / black friday and it is needed for multiplayer, and you don't have to worry about Sony trying to double the price (and whether they'd backtrack like MS after the outrage). Though you don't need it for F2P multiplayer games, unlike Gold.

So online gaming is free then.. Gotcha.

badz1491147d ago

come on, LOGIC. that argument has been beaten to death already and it's already 2021. nothing is FREE on consoles except F2P games, so just give it a rest.

you know what he means by that. no need to remind us each time that they are "technically" not free. we get it

Spartacus101147d ago

@ Jls1
Here is the math:
Free = £0
PS+ = £50 annually
Is £50 greater than £0? Yes
Therefore PS+ is not free.

Amplitude1147d ago (Edited 1147d ago )

@Jls:
Why does the price of the game matter? or the number of months in a year? Lol

I see what you're trying to do but it doesn't make sense. The actual cost is the cost of Plus, multiplied by the number of years you're alive.
So let's say 60 more years before your mortality takes a turn for the worse. You're looking at about $4,800 to keep Tomb Raider in your library vs owning a physical copy.
Not to mention that these are remasters.

PS Plus is a sick deal but by definition you really don't *own* your games with it

Jls11147d ago (Edited 1147d ago )

Obviously your too dumb to figure it out. If i have to explain it to you its not worth my time.

Ridiick1147d ago (Edited 1147d ago )

Control, FFVII remake and mostly Fall Guys that is always there to play with friends, PSplus is nice for me and other several millions of gamers. Your words sound me that you are having a tantrum :), guy enjoy your platform and dont worry about others gamers

LOGICWINS1147d ago

@Ridiick Lol, whose throwing a tantrum? No one said PS Plus wasn't a good deal, but "good deal" and "free" aren't interchangable.

Amplitude1147d ago (Edited 1147d ago )

Yeah I love PS+ lmao. I'm just saying it factually isn't free, the cost does add up, and PS+'s existence shouldn't mean that actually owning games becomes abnormal.

I buy lots of games that I already have on Plus just so I'll always have them

Holy crap, R&C Rift Apart is a huge score for those who haven't played it! It was so good.

just_looken353d ago

i agree though I don't have a ps5 but i will activate this when the prices get out of apple range.

outsider1624353d ago

Well lets hope its soon, because you never know when the game will leave psplus.

DivineHand125353d ago

I don't think it is fair to compare the PS5 to apple prices since an iphone hasn't been at $499 since the original iphone launched.

One thing I can say at your benefit though is that in gaming then longer you wait to buy, the better the deal, though if you wait too long your backlog will get out of control.

LordoftheCritics353d ago

Rift Apart is the best chill game I've played this gen.

System seller on PS Plus is a huge win.

roadkillers353d ago

I think you can redeem over your phone, no? When you get a PS5 you will have games.

MasterChief3624353d ago

A huge score for those of us that didn't just buy it literally one day ago and it's on the way now :'(
But I guess it's good to own it, as well! And I don't think I want to get PlayStation Plus right now, so it's not a huge loss. But it is still a little saddening.

I got my PS5 today, actually! Been wanting to play Rift Apart for so long. And I played Astro's Playroom at a friend's house, and that was when I was like, "I NEED THIS." Such a fun little game with so many wonderful references to Playstation stuff!

Anyways.

potatoseal353d ago

You could just re-sell your copy that is coming in the mail. But it's up to you. Rift Apart is so damn good. It blew my mind how good it looks and plays.

Dirty_Lemons353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

I hope you love it, dude. Nothing beats a shiny new console, and the PS5 is 👌 May I recommend Returnal, challenging but not Soulsborne-level challenging, and extremely good making use of those new haptics you're going to be playing around with.

Tapani353d ago

Hey I'm a relatively new PS5 owner here, but how does this new PS Plus system work? So if I go in at the Premium level for a month, it would mean I can play Horizon 2 and Ratchet & Clank just like that, right?

closed_account353d ago

Yea, you don't even need to sub Premium if those are the 2 games you're after, they're included on PS Plus Extra.

Premium just adds the legacy library of PS1, PS2, PS3 titles that are on the service.

potatoseal353d ago

Played and platinumed Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart at launch. Loved it so much. 9/10

Am I going to download and play Bus Simulator 21? You bet :-D

potatoseal353d ago

Was just thinking I wish Bus Simulator was PSVR 2 compatible. Imagine looking over your shoulder at the passengers you pick up? Haha

*turns head around while driving*

"Shut the Fk up back there!!!! You want me to crash the bus?!?!?!?!!"

Davros69353d ago

haha, you sound like an Aussie

MrNinosan353d ago

Have to download it as well. Is it compatible with wheel?

potatoseal353d ago

Yeah apparently it's compatible with a fair few wheels. Game has been out a while.

just_looken353d ago

Yeah the vr experience on playstation continues to be crap compared to pc sadly.

Bus sim 21 vr on pc
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

And do do that well its on pc duh crap $700 console should do vr on alot more than select titles

potatoseal353d ago

PS VR2 is actually really awesome man. I have one. It's only new, so maybe I will wait for Bus Simulator 21 to get a VR update then. Judging by that video, the game looks fun in VR

just_looken353d ago

I doubt it will look at psvr 1

Dandalandan117353d ago

Will definitely download Bus Simulator as well.
My son will surely have a blast with it.

meanmallard353d ago

PS Plus IS the best gaming subscription.

S2Killinit353d ago

It really is the best way to go.

crazyCoconuts353d ago

For a lot cheaper than the other guys even

PhillyDonJawn353d ago

102 games aww that's cute 🤭

Petebloodyonion353d ago

Well technically the best deal remains by far EPIC games free offering since well it's free but aside that it's a hell of deal :)

andy85353d ago

Its funny, a few months ago this would have got so many down votes but it probably is now, the Extra/Deluxe service is flourishing. Even a day one game this month is added

andy85353d ago

@phillyDonJawn that's games added, not total. PS sub has more games on it than Gamepass but keep reaching 😂

potatoseal353d ago

@ PhillyDon, lol there are something like 534 games on PS Plus Extra right now. That is not including PS Plus Premium

ModsDoBetter353d ago

Seriously didn’t even realise how good the PS offering was.

I’m on the highest tier but the only things I gravitate toward are the two monthly games.

It was only recently that I found how to properly browse the PS+ section on the dashboard and there’s a ridiculous amount of high quality content on there.

I own a good amount of them either physical or digital but still a great selection.

Crows90353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Yup. Ps extra is cheaper than gamepass ultimate as well...until those quality Xbox 1st party start actually kicking in ps+ is the most affordable and highest quality service.

I'll be trying out legion and humanity for sure.

MasterChief3624353d ago

So how does it work? Are these all available now? Or is it a rotation system? I literally only got my PS5 today and am a bit of a newb of this console generation.

potatoseal353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

These are all available right now I'm pretty sure. But I will post the actual lists of games. You will know in advance if anything was to be taken off this list too. A good time in advance.

PS Plus Essential (lowest price) - is the normal PS Plus and you get games every month. Here are the games for this month...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

PS Plus Extra (mid price) - Is same as essential, BUT has all these extra games from this list, except for the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games, (there aren't that many). More releasing every month. Here is all the games from PS Plus Extra
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

PS Plus Premium - same as essential and extra. But has all the PS1 and PS2 and PS3 and PSP games. More games releasing every month. Here is the list of games from this one...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

Glad you got a PS5. It's a good investment. So much to play and so much to come. Have fun man

Ps5conehead353d ago

These are available may 16th

meanmallard353d ago

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Even though you have never heard of it it went on to sell well over a million copies.

meanmallard353d ago

If even one person reads this and plays it and has half as much fun as I did I'll be super happy.

Zero Dawn sold really well so I’m not sure this belongs. The second game released next to a big game again and it hurt it some I forget what it was though, oh yeah Elden Ring .
But a good game is a good game to me I don’t care when they release personally but they do have to think about it when you want to get more people to buy it.

The Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy's Take on Lara Croft Deserved More Recognition

The Survivor Trilogy was a drastic reimagining of Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, and it provokes changes for the character that are truly fantastic.

Read Full Story >>
gamerant.com
isarai470d ago (Edited 470d ago )

Deserves less IMO, i think the 1st in the new trilogy was a perfect 1st step for the new direction. The next 2 games were half steps at best. Not only that, every character in the series including Lara is just annoying and doesn't make sense in terms of motive, like yes they have a motive, but none of it seems proportional to the lengths they are willing to go through for it. The most annoying thing is every one of the games say "become the Tomb Raider" yet 3 games later and we're still not there? No thanks. Then there's the mess of the 3rd game, massive skill tree that serves almost no purpose as there's literally only like 3-4 short encounters in the whole game, and they took till the 3rd game to finally manage some decent puzzles even remotely close to previous games in the series. Nah, the trilogy infuriated me to no end as a long time fan of the series, i hope we get better going forward cause that crap sucked.

Army_of_Darkness468d ago

The first in the trilogy was my favorite. I thought they were going into the right direction with that one until the second one came out and seemed like a graphical downgrade but the gameplay was okay. As for the Third, Graphics were really nice but it was kinda boring me to death with its non-stop platforming and exploring with not enough action! Well, for me anyway...

DeathTouch468d ago

Graphics on the 3rd one were abysmal. It’s more colorful and has more variety, but everything else was a noticeable downgrade.

The more open world with NPC quests was also handled very poorly, to the point I missed Angel of Darkness.

thesoftware730468d ago

I know it is your opinion, but she did progress as a character in each game, she even got more muscular and seasoned.

That is the thing, people first complained that there was not enough platforming and actual tomb raiding in the first and second games. Shadow remedied that and kept the combat elements.

3-4 encounters? huh? did we play the same game? there was plenty of combat and, the skill tree did matter, like being able to hang enemies from trees, set explosives traps on bodies, being able to counter, and that are just a few of the combat skills. The skill tree also had things like being able to hold your breath underwater longer, crafting upgrades, zipline upgrade, and climbing upgrades that all changed how you can approach situations.

Not knocking your opinion, but we definitely had different experiences. I had 98% completion on the shadow.

SoulWarrior468d ago (Edited 468d ago )

Sorry but i'm with him about the low number of encounters, the game throws loads of weapons and skills you're way with a comparatively low amount of places to actually use them, so they felt under utilised.

-Foxtrot470d ago

Yeah...no

It was awful, for THREE GAMES it was "become the Tomb Raider" where she went back to square one after each game. Not to mention after a huge reaction of killing someone for the first time she then becomes Rambo straight after and goes on a slaughter spree without a single other reaction. Her development was all over the place.

She was whiney, weak and in later game a little arrogant and selfish

Oh and the voice actress compared to the previous ones was not as good

Lara Croft deserved better and while they are decent games as they are, we deserved actual Tomb Raider games, we could have had better survival games if they just stuck with the original Lara Crofts origin about her plane going down. Surviving 2 weeks in the Himalayas...I'd have liked to seen that, who knows what mystical threat she could have faced in the mountains or underground some secret concealed cave.

Tacoboto468d ago

I thought Shadow of the Tomb Raider had better gameplay than Rise, but it annoyed me the most of the trilogy when I stopped to think about the story.

It's like they deliberately decided to make her unlikeable and did nothing to make the character you're playing as likeable or have even one sign of humility.

SoulWarrior470d ago

2013 I thought was a fine entry, but Rise and especially Shadow were painfully mediocre follow ups imo, I really didn't like how selfish and angry her character was in those two.

Terry_B469d ago

No. Please forget the crap completely.

northpaws469d ago

First one was decent, played through it twice.
Second one was okay, played through it once.
Third one was really bad, tried twice a year apart, still can't get through the first two hours, it is just really bad.

thesoftware730468d ago

Honest question, what did you find bad about it? the opening 2 hrs of Shadow were fantastic imo.

The opening was very similar to the first 2, what did you find really bad?

Not looking for an argument, just an honest question.

Starman69468d ago

3rd one just didn't feel like a tomb raider game. Possibly because the development was passed to another development team. Big mistake! Microsoft killed tomb raider making the first game a timed exclusive. Never recovered after that.
