lol and no 60 fps patch for next gen consoles. :D

Profchaos367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

There's a next gen version out with performance 60fps, ray tracing and 4 K options.

It was a $10 upgrade at launch but sure how much it is now but I think it did go up

Profchaos367d ago

@ezio yeah in that case I'll shut up I want a next gen version of that to

roadkillers367d ago

Man Reddit is on this too. The game is near 5 years old... it isnt getting a patch.

Soulsborne367d ago

Reddit is on what exactly? Doesnt take anything apecial to count how old the game is and see that there is no patch or next gen upgrade.

blackblades367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

180million units sold is crazy but of course its 3 different generation of consoles etc. 50million is that number you think a exclusive game could reach. Amazes me how 1 system can sell over 100mil consoles and games can't even reach 40 million hell some cant even do 10mil on multiplat

--Onilink--367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

It never ceases to surprise me either. The closest we ever see in terms of consistency outside our a juggernaut like GTA or Minecraft, are some Nintendo games (not all though), but its just hard to understand what are so many people even playing with their consoles for most games to sell “so little” when there are such massive install bases

babadivad366d ago (Edited 366d ago )

Call of Duty, Fortnite, Madden, and 2K.

--Onilink--366d ago

CoD is another one, though it can vary a lot from one release to the other, still pretty big number compared against most other games.
I’d say FIFA is a better example than Madden or NBA 2k (which do sell a lot, but not as much as FIFA), just not to that same astronomical level (and if we are separating by levels, Nintendo isnt even close to GTA V or Minecraft anyway)

Fortnite is free, so its not really something I would consider when discussing sales vs install base, regardless of just how much money it makes

EvertonFC367d ago

It's because the actual industry consists of 80% casuals who play nothing but CoD, Fortnite, apex legends, f2p, GaaS games.
I too scratch my head but that's the reality, like Shawn layden said the industry hasn't moved FWD in that regard.

shinoff2183367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

I wouldn't say 80 percent play those types of games. There's plenty of people that buy a system and just end up not having the time. My brother works at the post office puts in mad hours. I was on ps the other day. Seen it showed he hadn't been on in 5 months. I'd consider him casual also. I meant to add he doesn't play those types of games either.

roadkillers367d ago

The attach rate for video games have never been higher. Wasn't PS2 the best selling console of all time? I think the best selling game was GTASA. San Andreas sold under 20 million copies. Now you have games seling 30-50 million copies on the switch. PS1/PS2/PS3 was really purchased to be a cheap multimedia device cd/dvd/blueray

shinoff2183367d ago

The switch is an is a different case. It's selling to 2 fan bases. Console and portable. Those 3ds gamers had nowhere to go.

All my kids had a 3ds and played it alot. I wasn't buying 4 switches , some parents probably did.

shinoff2183367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

Shows you the varied taste in what people like. It's kinda why I've always stuck with sony. Variety, especially jrpgs

Crazy how in the past 10 years Rockstar have only released GTAV and Red Dead Redemption II

If it wasn't for that stupid GTA Online we'd have had more, possibly even Bully 2

Profchaos367d ago

Yeah absolutely insane given their output in the PS2 era

chicken_in_the_corn367d ago

No, we wouldn't. RDR2 was developed by all of Rockstar's studios together.

CS7367d ago

Crazy how both games are beyond what any other studio put out in terms of quality and scale.

Great games take time.

You can’t complain about unfinished, buggy, generic releases. Then also complain when studios take their time to craft masterpieces that is beyond what everyone else is making.

shinoff2183367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

Cs7

I don't think he was complaining. Just stating

-Foxtrot366d ago

Where did the complaining part come into this?

FallenAngel1984367d ago

How many games is Rockstar working on?

It’s sad to think a major publisher like that probably doesn’t even have 3 games in development, let alone being released every year like every major publisher

Gamerscore2077367d ago

They’re working with Remedy to remake Max Payne 1 & 2.

wiz7191366d ago

@gamerscore I know those remakes are going to be packed with detail .. given how detail heavy both studios are it’s going to be a treat

EazyC367d ago

Their dev cycle has become insanely slow....seriously, as of RDR 2 it literally takes them a decade to make ONE game.

Now, I would argue this leads to games which are simply stunning, so is likely needed. But I wish they could have at least a couple of games in the pipeline at once.

EazyC367d ago

Jesus, just make a Midnight Club already. Not even for the money, just for the beauty of it!

A new Midnight Club with PSVR 2 would send the world crazy imo.

Dandalandan117366d ago

I would love an updated version of MC3
MCLA was great but MC3 was just awesome and a lot of fun

shinoff21833d ago

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

jznrpg3d ago

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

VenomUK3d 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.

Exvalos3d 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

outsider16243d ago

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

raWfodog3d ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN3d ago

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

Xeofate3d ago (Edited 3d 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_Mal3d 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.

Redgrave3d ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

TheColbertinator3d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom23d ago

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

MrBaskerville3d ago

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

Bathyj3d ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

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

MrBaskerville3d ago (Edited 3d 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.

DarXyde3d 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.

hiroyukisanada3d 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

Petebloodyonion3d 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)
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

crazyCoconuts3d 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

isarai3d ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion3d 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.

shinoff21833d 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_Suzumiya3d ago (Edited 3d 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

JL29303d ago

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

Petebloodyonion3d 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.

MrBaskerville3d 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.

JL29302d ago Show
seanpitt233d 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

GTA 5’s cut “James Bond Trevor” DLC was already part-shot, actor says

The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing6926d ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos26d ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius25d ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy8526d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius25d ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
