Great value for PS+ Extra members but on the other hand wtf at PS+ Premium. Two whole PSP games for those who are paying extra for that? That's a joke and I bet neither of them will have trophies at least either.

pedrof93668d ago

The "leaks" for this month were far more impressive 😅

willbillbill668d ago

Isn't there two drops a month? So in two weeks time they may add to the premium benefits, if not then wow what a poor start for that tier.

Nitrowolf2667d ago

I think it’s two drops (and sometimes not) counting the initial ps plus lineup

TGGJustin667d ago

No you get the PS+ Essential drop on the first Tuesday of the month and then you get the Extra/Premium drop in the middle of the month. That's your two drops. You won't get more Extra/Premium games until the middle of August now.

SyntheticForm667d ago

Been on Extra since it released and haven't seen any incentive to upgrade to Premium yet.

Hikoran667d ago

Trials have been pretty good! Got to try Crusader Kings and ended up buying it so, it does work for them.

CrimsonWing69667d ago

Yea… Sony needs to step it up or I’ll lower my tier.

Wow, Premium my ass. What a joke.

EvertonFC667d ago

The service this month is worthy with just "stray" alone.

Puty667d ago

You just need Extra tier for Stray.
Premium tier got two psp games and that's it. It is so baffling.

Rimeskeem668d ago

I just got Extra for like $20 till December (was a regular sub), so I basically just saved $10 for Stray with the purchase.

nevin1667d ago

I got Premium for $28 till December. Right now Sony is off to a bad start.

Kyizen667d ago

Are you ignoring the other 700 titles that launched with it last month or you have some infinite tine device and played them all?

MIDGETonSTILTS17667d ago

Keep in mind you can’t play Stray after December, which would be enough time for most.

Rimeskeem666d ago

I am aware, I highly doubt it will take me thaaaaat long to plat it.

thesoftware730668d ago (Edited 668d ago )

Nice line-up.

From being on N4G, and hearing their die-hard fans, I never thought I would see the day Sony starts paying for day 1 releases and promoting them in a sub-service.

I guess this is just the way the industry is moving, and I love it. It's just sad to see MS got lambasted for it. People thinking because they are not currently doing day 1 first-party games makes this huge difference are wearing blinders. The only real difference is that Sony can sell/milk games for $70 a pop.

The whole pitch about degrading game quality is nonsense, with that mindset, even though it's not AAA, Stray should be a subpar game. What about the 10 live service games, will they charge you $70 for "AAA" "fully funded" games or will they add them to PS+ Service as 10 sub-par quality degraded games with MTX?

I guess people can argue and say, hey they are using the $70 games to fund the day 1 game or the possible 10 live service day 1 games, but shouldn't $120 yearly + anyone that wants a physical copy can still buy it, MTX and PC releases from millions of fans cover the cost? because realistically they on average put out 3 big exclusives a year, which is $210 if a person decides to buy all 3.

I say what I say not to say what Sony should do, but to stop the lie about the degrading quality of games on sub-services.

Just saying.

Indies have been on subscriptions day since forever. The 100 mil+ budget games is what they can't put on PS+. They have to recoup the sales.

And if the cost is too much...just buy the game, beat it and then sell it online at a 10 or 20 dollar loss. That's what i do and i rebuy them digitally at under 20 or replay them on their sub service when it goes there.
Or wait a couple of months for the 20 dollars or more discount.

It's not hard to get your gaming budget under control.

darkrider668d ago (Edited 668d ago )

Dude stop... Stray is a indie game, not first party... It's not God of War or a game that cost 500 or 600 millions... You got also odd world and the destruction all stars... I pay 70 for a good game, but what's bad is paying full price for crappy, with tons of problems on frames rez, bugs, using old assets, sounds.

Stanjara668d ago

You are delusional and a real Sony sucker.

F0XHOUND667d ago

Pretty sure Sony stated they wont be releasing first party titles day 1 via Plus like Xbox does. As for any other dev and title.... if they want to make the most of the platform in that way and it makes sense for them (ps plus has a huge member base) then great, we will likely see a lot of 2nd and 3rd party titles like this.

Ever hear of Rocket League? Outlast? Fall Guys?

I've got the disc stored away and haven't played in years - maybe it's time to finish the rest of Black Flag. Excited for Stray, too. It's the doldrums of summer, I'm not really expecting much more for Premium benefits this soon after launch than what we have here.

Eidolon667d ago

Black Flag, why only now? Supposedly it's one of the better ones?

Tacoboto667d ago

It was back when I fell out of gaming for a couple years (Bloodborne another casualty). Had a lot of fun with it but in that time I didn't finish much of anything, from 2014-17/18.

FinalFantasyFanatic667d ago

Black Flag is fantastic, it's hard to get me to play through an Assassin's Creed game, but I will play that one multiple times over.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Cutscenes Changed With New Patch, Comparison Inside

A new patch for Square Enix's action role-playing game, Final Fantasy VII Remake, has brought changes to certain cutscenes.

If you can't go without breasts in a cutscene, you need help

Rebel_Scum73d ago

Should’ve ended that sentence with either “you maggot” or “you puke” Sarge

Barlos73d ago

Well bloody hell, I guess I need committing then. Stick me in a padded cell

Eonjay73d ago

People need serious help if you 'need' to stare at a minors breasts. And some of you admitted that so at least we have acknowledgement. Can we not sexualize children? It shouldn't be considered progressive. I think the mass majority of people regardless of political view aren't into to kiddie boobs.

CrimsonWing6973d ago

look, man... why support censorship in any way? Forget the cleavage, it's the principle. Do you like owning the cable television edited version of a movie or do you want the original R-rated version?

I'd be just as irked by this if WB Games put out a patch that censored all the swearing and gore in an MK game. So, regardless of how you feel about boobs being covered up in the game, it's the principle of censorship that gets most people. I couldn't care less if she wore a sports bra from the beginning, what I hate is people covering my eyes and ears like I'm a 5-year old telling me, "This is too inappropriate for you."

So, yea, censorship is dumb as f*ck regardless of the content. Changing something that's already established that nobody made a big deal about, and nobody is getting their rocks off to (let's be real here), all because people get uncomfortable with boobs is dumb, plain and simple.

Like, give me a f*cking break here...

AdonisIsBeast73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Yea, apparently you’re incapable of comprehending the point of the complaint. As another user mentioned, it’s principal. These are fictional characters in fictional worlds, it gives most people no pleasure see “the cleavage” as used in this example. The entire point is that we are all getting sick and tired of these fake and unnecessary DEI and ethics departments censoring media simply for the sake of it. Unless theres nudity, they should leave it alone.

Babadook772d ago (Edited 72d ago )

I prefer the before, but I won’t make a mountain out of a molehill. (No pun intended)

CobraKai72d ago

It’s about the needless censorship.

andy8573d ago

I mean she is portrayed as being 15 in the scene. I don't really consider it woke to cover up a child (begs questions why they did it in the first place though).

Rocketisleague72d ago

In the original nomura was going nuts with child panty references and such. Look it up

k2d72d ago

Devil's advocate here.. who's doing the objectification here though? How would progressives react if teenagers where asked to not show skin and cover up their feminine traits? No bare shoulders. No hair. No make-up etc.. 20-30 years ago the main stream tune was the complete opposite, and games where under attack from conservatives and we had to defend games from them. Now publishers are pre-emptively chastising and censoring to please left AND right, depending on which region of the world their trying to up ease.

dmonee71d ago

Alot of Japanese animation, cartoons, video games, are SuS, when it comes to sexual exploitation lol.

Gamingsince198172d ago

She's not anything , she's not a real person, she was never born, they could make her nude and no harm would be done to anything but the minds of people that can't tell real life from video games.

OMGitzThatGuy73d ago

Black rock is against sexualizing minors? Those demons!

AdonisIsBeast72d ago

Actually they’re FOR exploiting children and promoting puberty blockers and life altering hormone treatment for minors. Do your research

qalpha72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

BlackRock is apparently FOR sexualizing minors. They (along with Disney) were vehemently against the Florida parental rights bill (better known as the 'don't sexualize young elementary kids' bill).

banger8873d ago

"It’s unclear why Square Enix opted to make this change around 4 years after the game’s release."

Because some progressive, blue-haired freak started quivering uncontrollably and frothing at the mouth?

CrimsonWing6972d ago (Edited 72d ago )

What’s weird about it? Females wear low cut shirts all the time, do you bust a nut over it? No… well, I’d hope not.

This is a person who has breasts that wore a low cut shirt, the end. It’s not child porn and nobody in hear was fapping to it.

When you go to a mall and some 15 year old has cleavage showing do you run up and throw a bed sheet over her? I mean Geezus you see more with swimsuits…

Our culture is so weird. We have people championing women for doing OnlyFans as such a brave and empowering decision. I see celebrities barely wearing anything on the red carpet exposing their nipples and butt cheeks and everyone is gawking at how amazing the outfit is.

A freaking game has a fake character that in no way looks 15 and in no way is oversexualized, but had a shirt with cleavage in what, a 30 second scene, and suddenly that’s where we draw the line… like what world am I living in?

andy8572d ago

Just personally find it weird. But what is actually weird is the people who are complaining about it. If she was 12 is that suddenly not OK. 10? There's a reason stuff like that isn't shown in media on children. You'll obviously see it in real life but doesn't mean it's right.

gold_drake73d ago

yes and to make it more in line with Rebirth. shes wearing a black undershirt in that game. consistency.

the japanese definetly didnt care if she has one on or not ha.

Barlos73d ago

Sweet Baby Inc is probably the reason

I_am_Batman73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Seems much more likely that the team simply wanted to prevent perverts from zooming in on the cleavage of a 15-year-old in photo mode. I'm pretty sure the Nibelheim flashbacks in Remake were only a couple seconds with a fixed cutscene camera, so that wasn't much of an issue until Rebirth where this character model is obviously used a lot more.

Maybe you guys should hold your horses until you've played the game and stop jumping to conclusions. I've already got spoiled about a scene that happens later on in the game and it certainly didn't fit your hypothesis of Square bending the knee to oversensitive "progressives" with an allergiy to attractive females.

They wanted to have consistency with the new character model. That basically it.

Why not make the new character model resemble the design of 4 years ago though?

gold_drake73d ago

while i want my games, especially the ff games with alot of lore, to be as accurate in their translation as possible, the english localisation took huge liberties in the first place.

the japanese and german for example are in line with one another. english is not. but yea. its a silly change, the steel sky was a great thing when she said it, but apperantly the original english lip movement was more in line with "i dont like it" than with "the steel sky, i miss it"
