They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.
Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.
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.
I don't know why Sony is not getting some of the legendary ps1 games from square like parasite eve, xenogears, brave fencer musashi
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.
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.
Colony Wars, G-Police, Black and PsiOps were all amazing games. Such creative games from a golden age.
I would love to play Black again on a higher difficult setting . Black was so fun to play!
G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.
But let's face it, there's no way the game has held up.
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.
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.
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
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)

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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Saad from eXputer: "Utilizing its myriad strengths and masterful design, Elden Ring ruined gaming for me in a way I'll always be thankful for."
It sounds like you’re just an eldenring fan and not so much a fan of games by and large. Which theres nothing wrong with.
The author's profile appears to state otherwise. I believe they just got a massive shock with Elden Ring, something that stuck around. To each their own I guess
Elden ring ruined from software for me....maybe.
I hope their next game isn't open world too...
I have yet to beat Elden Ring. Not cause it's too hard , I've beaten Sekiro, Bloodborne, Demon Souls etc. Also I could just make my character op but I prefer to play under leveled. It's too big. I beat Radaghan or the moon lady last then got lost, lost for years lol. I'm going to beat it tho. Haven't played it in a while
I platinumed the game but hated the open world aspect...started great but then after a bit you notice all the repeated dungeons and bosses...it got massively tedious and much preferred late game areas in a typical souls game than the open world repetition.
The ole “I’m so good at hard games I had to play under leveled to get challenged and if I worked that hard in real life I wouldn’t be working at Walmart”
? Don't work at Walmart or any type of retail...lol. But w.e. Makes you feel better about ya sad life 🤷🏽 lol. You probably just suck at games lmao.
I loved it but yeah it is just overwhelmingly massive and confusing, I don’t think I’ll ever finish it.
Currently replaying the Witcher 3, next gen upgrade style. Touissant still drops my jaw.
What makes GTA V better than Witcher 3? Just wondering.
Would put Elden ring at number 2.
I would remove Skyrim, it needs a ton of modding to make an interesting open world.
There has been four open world games I enjoyed: Elden Ring, Days Gone, Horizon Zero Dawn and Breath of the Wild. Red Dead, GTA, Witcher, Skyrim and Oblivion etc. were all extremely tedious fetch fests or set piece style games.
Elden Ring was awesome for just being Dark Souls open world game, Days Gone had such a great set up, tense atmosphere and the Hordes were incredible, and Horizon ZD was absolutely great at storytelling in its locations and is absolutely stunning to look at. Breath of the Wild had such a soothing atmosphere that it was pure therapy to play after a tough day spent in the business world.
RDR2 looks great, plays poorly, character is very hard to control and is very gimmicky. GTA is made for 12-year olds, but tries to somehow cater to older audiences as well, didn't enjoy it at all. In both of those games you play as a mass murderer, which always sets me off. Witcher 3 had okayish side stories and locations, but I enjoyed 1 and 2 more due to their focus, the series didn't need an open-world. Skyrim was a total fetch quest and writing was just so bad I could not go on, same for Oblivion.
