That's a crazy number of units for a game from 2013 to still be moving. It's kinda funny that RDR2 looks 'bad' next to GTAV, but in reality, 46 mil is a lot more than pretty much every non-R* game.

ClayRules2012561d ago

Yeah, that’s a crazy number of units for a game from 2013, goodness. GTA5 just will not stop… I loved it on PS3-PS4, but I can’t bare to play it anymore, personally. Burnt out now haha. However, RDR2, what a work of art, and 46 million units is pretty darn awesome, even with the game being what 4 years old now?!

With all the success Rockstar has had with GTA5’s sales/online MP along with RDR2 in general I sure wish they’d go back to working on other iPs, and not just release 1 game every 5-8 years. Especially knowing the multiple R* studios they have and the talent, they could be crafting and releasing some amazing new games or revisiting old classics in the modern era more often than what they’ve done! And regardless of the climate nowadays Bully 2 is one I’d love to see! LA Noire 2, Agent seeing the light of day or them just making an exclusive for Sony nowadays would be cool.

I can’t imagine GTA6…excited for it, of course, but would love more from them like the old days, but those days are gone.

like most art, the ChurnButter simulator, err I mean RDR2, is gorgeous to look at but not for playing. The most disappointing sequel last gen alongside Ni No Kuni 2 (both 1st games were in my top ten personal favs of the last decade).

ClayRules2012561d ago

I disagree. RDR2 is gorgeous to look at, but also fun to play. Although definitely dated in its controls, and I understand many didn’t like the “Over the top” realism brought to guns/horses etc. involving management and so forth of said things. I personally didn’t mind any of that stuff, I enjoyed that realistic approach a lot.

I’m sorry to hear you were disappointed with it though, along with Ni No Kuni 2.

You know what is stoppable? Rockstar’s care for their other franhises

generic-user-name561d ago

How did they fumble the ball so bad for RDO?

gold_drake561d ago

thats an insane number fking hell

Demetrius561d ago

Bet only a certain amount was used for gta 6 and the rest in those upper management pockets lmfao the last original rockstar feel in a game was red dead 2

Ezio2048561d ago

Because it was the last R* game :D

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg7d ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

VenomUK6d ago

Crime Boss! I know it hasn't reviewed well but I love the eighties action movie vibe of the trailer but didn't want to risk any money on it so this is a great way for me to play it.

Exvalos6d ago

I don't know why Sony is not getting some of the legendary ps1 games from square like parasite eve, xenogears, brave fencer musashi

outsider16247d ago

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

raWfodog7d ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN6d ago

I have premium, and I'm also wondering why I have it

Xeofate6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I think there are a ton of good games on Premium, and don't sleep on the movie collection if you like 90's and 2000's movies, the selection is stacked with classics and gets updated pretty regularly.

Abnor_Mal6d ago

G-Police is a game I have fond memories of and will definitely download to replay. I remember controlling your helicopter was a bit difficult and would make my hand cramp having to press all the shoulder buttons to go up and down and I think yaw left and right.

The next game they should add to Classics is Colony Wars, and I wouldn’t mind replaying Nightmare Creatures. I’d also like to replay Black, PSI Ope: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

Redgrave6d ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

TheColbertinator6d ago

Colony Wars, G-Police, Black and PsiOps were all amazing games. Such creative games from a golden age.

DefenderOfDoom26d ago

I would love to play Black again on a higher difficult setting . Black was so fun to play!

MrBaskerville6d ago

G-Police is nice. But might be among the hardest games I've ever played.

Bathyj6d ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

But let's face it, there's no way the game has held up.

MrBaskerville6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

You can just buy it, you don't need premium.

And it's still good, but there's a couple of early missions that are extremely tough. But they don't really make games like this anymore.

DarXyde6d ago

2Xtreme was the first game I ever bought for PS Plus (I still have the PS1 version somewhere).

Game is awful, but it's stupid fun. Like Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.

hiroyukisanada6d ago

I should clarify that I was referring to the Classics catalog, in particular. Only 1 PS1 game I've loved is the Legend of Dragoon and the Tekken/Soul Caliburs on PSP

Petebloodyonion6d ago

RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)

crazyCoconuts6d ago

Yeah I was hoping burning shores would have been added now that it's a year old vs. the base game being removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if both MS and PS continue to either walk back the quality of games in the sub services or increase the price, since it's now clearer to them how cannibalistic these services are

isarai6d ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion6d ago

Indeed it's bad but it does offer incredible Hollywood star power so for free it might draw a crowd while giving a boost to this game.
Just remember Fallout 76 was the biggest turd and yet there are now tons of ppl playing it.

shinoff21836d ago

When I seen video on this game I thought Holy sht this is gonna be awesome. Then the footage continued and I seen what type of game it was going for. Was so disappointed. Would've loved a gta style game not from Rockstar,like we had back in the day some studios trying. I'm all about being different but a little gta clone idea been cool with.

Yui_Suzumiya6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

To be fair, I'd play Crime Boss before GTA any day. I mean I have no interest in either but just for the celebs I'd pick Crime Boss, lol

JL29306d ago

How is a 6 year old game a win for anything? Anyone who cares has already played it.

Petebloodyonion6d ago

Simply because ppl do play it!
As much as I don't like it GTA V always managed a boost of ppl when it was offered on Game Pass or PS+.
NOW RDR 2 was never offered on a subscription service.
Again the point isn't about will hardcore gamers play the game because we already played it. it's about having a huge star power game never offered on service that will make casual ppl subscribe to it.

MrBaskerville6d ago

You are aware that new people are born every day? All the 5 year olds probably didn't play it when it released.

But I guess you played every game ever released, which is quite impressive.

seanpitt236d ago

A 6 years old game is a win? Yes it's a masterpiece but I am sure most of hardcore gamers have already played it! I doubt it would be shifting ps plus extra subs if there was a native ps5 version or 60fps option then maybe
