3 amazing PSVR titles, if you do not already own them... some of the best!

Neonridr924d ago

I'll check out The Persistence for sure. I already have The Walking Dead for my Index.

VenomUK924d ago (Edited 924d ago )

It's a hard no from me. Literally I'm not interested in playing any of the games and I might not even put them on my download list as I don't want to see crap I won't play in my library.

EDIT: Let me add I would play the PSVR games but Sony didn't send me the PS5 camera attachment despite two months of weekly phone calls to PlayStation UK support so I gave up and sold it.

SullysCigar924d ago

^ @VenomUK, those 3 games are top rated classics. The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners is one of the top VR games ever created.

Download them ready for PSVR2, my friend, don't miss out!

SurgicalMenace923d ago

Well thank you for your contribution Mr. Venom, I'm sure that no one is not going to play these games because of what happened to you. Fitting name though.😁

VenomUK923d ago

@SullysCigar Yes, I will download them! I will be getting PSVR2/NGVR at launch so hopefully all the first-gen games will run on it or get a patch.

@SurgicalMenace I wasn't trying to persuade anybody to not download them, just expressing my opinion. But you're right, the name is fitting because I spit venom. Pssttt. Psstt. PSSTTT.

Looking forward to playing them. I'd like to add that you don't need a PS VR to play The Persistance.

deleted924d ago

Very good point, and they released a PS5 upgrade recently too!

Neonridr924d ago

so you are saying you can play it in 2D is what you mean?

deleted924d ago

@Neonridr exactly, a flat screen version was added later after release, free of charge.

Petebloodyonion923d ago (Edited 923d ago )

Indeed the PSVR version includes the flat screen update so it should work too.

Yui_Suzumiya923d ago

True that.. The Persistence is on the Switch after all. I was interested until I heard it's just as difficult as Dark Souls.

Neonridr923d ago

@OtterX - thanks, that's good to know.

CR7JUVE1897924d ago

For the first time in what seems like forever, I don't have any of these games, so this is good from my perspective.

robtion923d ago

Yep i'm waiting for psvr 2 before I take the plunge.

FlavorLav01924d ago

If you’re a fan of open world ARPGs, Kingdoms of Amalur was a under appreciated golden goose of an experience for its time. Highly recommended if your an old Fable fan like I was

SlothLordPootus924d ago

I've been wanting to play Kingdoms of Amalur since it came out 10 years ago. So that's a welcome addition for me.

NecrumOddBoy923d ago

It’s really great. It’s definitely a classic style of ARPG but fun and has great combat. Not brutal and lots to do. I enjoy the high fantasy meets Irish-brood in the game.

darthv72923d ago

I played it on the 360 and thought it was really well made, regardless of all the controversy.

SullysCigar923d ago

What was the controversy surrounding Kingdoms of Amalur? I missed it and never played it to discover it for myself. Heard good things only, I believe.

darthv72923d ago

@sully... it just had a lot of troubled development despite it being a really good game. Check out the vid for more info: https://youtu.be/cOywJPI9uT...

SullysCigar923d ago

I had no idea - thanks for the link!

Yui_Suzumiya923d ago

Hell yes.. I'm getting it for Switch. Played it on PS3 back in the day. It's a shame what happened with the company going under.

Teflon02923d ago

I'm just curious, why do switch owners always do that? Sure you'll see it once in a while from a PS and Xbox owner, but it's so common amongst the Switch community to be on any post and just specifically say I'm getting this for switch. At this point it just seems like switch owners want to be noticed as switch owners which makes no sense since it sells great so there's nothing unique about saying that lol

Yui_Suzumiya921d ago

I'm getting it for PS4 as well.. I've been a PS gamer since the first came out but I skipped every generation of Nintendo after N64 up until I got a Switch earlier this year. I prefer having a game for both PS4 and Switch. One that's more powerful ona large TV and one to play on a handheld.

GhostofHorizon924d ago

Looks like a solid month. I've heard a lot of praise for each one of those PSVR games.

I remember really enjoying Kingdom of Amalur back when it originally came out.

LucasRuinedChildhood924d ago (Edited 924d ago )

PS Plus was on a roll for a long while (around a year for me) but the games for August and October were particularly bad, making this month look worse than it actually is.

Knockout City and Kingdoms of Amalur are good games but 2 multiplayer focused games is too much - First Class Trouble seems like a poor choice.

I'm hoping for something a bit bigger like Mafia Definitive Edition and/or The Pathless for December because we were getting bangers like that earlier on in the year. I primarily use PS Plus for the games.

lipton101923d ago

Hell let Loose was one of the best ps plus offerings I’ve seen in a while. It’s not for everyone but it was absolutely incredible

SullysCigar924d ago

Don't be sad, just get PS Plus and enjoy awesome games like the rest of us! ;^p

SurgicalMenace923d ago

You know you can just purchase what's not given for free too, right?

darthv722d ago

curious... if a game leaves PS+, does it make it unplayable if you have already claimed it before it leaves? I know on the XB side, games leaving Gamepass are no longer playable. You need to pay for them to be able to continue playing after you installed them from GP.

CrimsonWing692d ago

The 3 monthly “free” games you keep as long as you have PS+ subscription. The PS+ library is like Netflix. They rotate stuff out and replace them with other titles.

MrNinosan2d ago

Yes, PS+ Extra/Premium games are unplayable after the leave the service, just like GamePass and Netflix.
PS+ Essentials games are available as long as you have an active PS+ account.

Profchaos2d ago

Monthly games, special promos like the free games during COVID or PS plus bundle on ps5 are forever yours. Premium and above are time limited

If you claim a game on the premium tier (not yours to keep) and it comes out as a monthly games later e.g. fallout 76 it appears you do not retain ownership on that one.

Notsofast2d ago

The 3-4 monthly games that are free that are part of every service are yours forever I canceled my service over a year and you never lose access. I dont know what these other comments are talking about maybe they are in a different country but in the USA I could play any game I claimed of the free monthly games

MrNinosan2d ago

Then one of the accounts on your PS5 probably has a PS+ Essential subscription.
Because the 3-4 PS+ games you get every month, is not available to be played if you don't have an active sunscription.
It's the same in US, Europe, Japan and everywhere else.

Petebloodyonion2d ago

Essential stays in your library
Extra and premium become locked when titles leave the service.

It's actually one of my gripes with Extra, you can't remove the title from your own library, so basically it countss as one your title but it's locked so you own library become a cluster F... unless you filter your titles.

MrNinosan2d ago

Well you can just chose to hide them.

Wonder if Horizon ZD leaving gives credit to those remake rumours

Sigh. If true…another remake that’s not Bloodborne.

SimpleDad2d ago

Probably yes cause of a remake.

Skuletor2d ago

I still remember them giving that one away for free, regardless of if you were subscribed to Plus or not

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They did. It was during the pandemic and the "play at home" initiative.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Sony gave away a lot of games just to push gamers to stay home and not get infected by COVID.

Eonjay2d ago

I think you're right.
There is a separate Bloodborne rumor by the remake is allegedly scheduled for next gen.

Kingrizzy902d ago

Yes cause of the remake good thing I got the plat
And is bloodborn really that good? I never played it due to being Incarcerated 8½ years but I read the comics. It's pretty dark

Profchaos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Highly likely I also bet the remaster will be over priced and under whelming.

I'd also bet most people will simply stick with the PS4 pro and ps5 60fps patch over paying to upgrade when it offers the bare minimum.

I hope Sony has learnt from the last of us 2 and stop remastering games that just came out they have nearly 30 years of content to work with but always remaster games that are like 5 years old and don't need it. I assume this was In development alongside tlou2 so fingers crossed this is the last time we get this because what's next god of war on PS4 to ps5 for 70 dollars probably anything outside of bloodborne

Friendlygamer2d ago

Glad I played sundered and the messenger, both great 2d games

gold_drake2d ago

ahh the messenger is such a good game.

u should play sea of starts. same people, its a sort of prequel to the messenger tok

Friendlygamer2d ago

Oh I will definitely play it eventually, chained echoes too

Jingsing2d ago

Can N4G adopt a policy of games leaving subscription services as not being a new story, it is just spam at this point.

Petebloodyonion2d ago

Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return?
When was the last time that Sony added a PlayStation studio game?
Now I don't expect Sony to have day 1 like Gamepass but I would expect to at least care to make the offering interesting especially when they raised the price by 30% last year.

MrNinosan2d ago

PS Studio Games:
May - Destiny 2: Lightfall
April - MediEvil, Jak&Daxter: The Lost Frontier,
March - CoolBoarders

What Playstation Studio games is it you're missing?

Petebloodyonion2d ago

Sight...
let me check my comment again
" Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return? "
Yeah pretty sure I mentioned the EXTRA tier and not the PREMIUM tier
but glad that you consider a DLC to a free-to-play game a great offering

MrNinosan1d 22h ago

I repeat my question, what PS Studio games is it you're missing?

And regarding the first part of your comment, lots of great games leaving and nothing added?

What great games iyo has left the service?
For me, "wow-factor games added would be".
Dave the Diver, Tales of Kenzera, Raji, Miasma, The Outer Worlds, Resident Evil 3, Ace Attorney, Rainbow Six Siege, AC: Valhalla, Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs Legion, Both Southpark jrpgs, Fenyx Rising, Tales of Arise, Session, Lego Worlds, Vampire the Masquerade Swansong, Legends of Mana....

And many more.

Compared to what has been removed, the adds are better than the 'offs'.
