Get Crime Boss: Rockay City at 40% Off for 36 Hours

Following its debut at The Game Awards last night, Crime Boss: Rockay City pre-orders are 40% off for the next 36 hours.

Double_O_Revan541d ago

I think this was the weirdest announcement for me. This game, especially because of its cast, seems like a game that would've come out in the early 2000s on PS2, almost as a joke, piggybacking of of GTAs success.

Vengeance1138541d ago

Could tell the dude definitely smokes atleast 3 packs a day during that announcement.

isarai541d ago

Yeah, not gonna pre-order something they showed nothing about but some voice cast

Bobertt540d ago

Discount and game is only on Epic Game Store.

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

jznrpg18d ago

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

VenomUK18d 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.

Exvalos17d 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

outsider162418d ago

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

raWfodog18d ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN18d ago

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

Xeofate18d ago (Edited 18d 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_Mal18d 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.

Redgrave18d ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

TheColbertinator17d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom217d ago

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

MrBaskerville18d ago

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

Bathyj18d ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

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

MrBaskerville17d ago (Edited 17d 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.

DarXyde17d 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.

hiroyukisanada17d 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

Petebloodyonion18d 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/...

crazyCoconuts18d 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

isarai18d ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion18d 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.

shinoff218317d 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_Suzumiya17d ago (Edited 17d 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

JL293018d ago

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

Petebloodyonion18d 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.

MrBaskerville17d 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.

JL293017d ago Show
seanpitt2317d 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

Switch Forspoken with Redfall.

JEECE172d ago

It can be an unfortunate trend in our industry to lump games people were looking forward to that didn't end up meeting their expectations and were just okay (Forspoken) with games that are broken (Gollum) or little more than asset flips (The Day Before). If expectations (and price) had been set appropriately, Forspoken wouldn't even be that bad.

505 Games Says 'It’s fine to secretly like Crime Boss: Rockay City'

505 Games has issued a very self-aware satirical update for Crime Boss: Rockay City, given the poor reception to the game.

shinoff2183179d ago

I would of checked it out but far as i know its an online gta5 type game. Had it been single player inwouldve bought I to try by now

FyBy177d ago

I play it as a single player from the start. Game is massively updated. Its much better than when it started. But has its flaws of course. And its not gta 5 type game. Its totally different. Here, it is something like heist centered defender of the crown mixed with rogue lite genre. Definitely worth it.
Of course with some friends, it would be much more fun.

Christopher178d ago

Trying to gaslight us into thinking people are hiding that they like it.

isarai178d ago

Exactly what I was thinking 🤣

coolbeans178d ago

Points for the self-awareness though.

Yui_Suzumiya178d ago

I'd rather play this then GTA, lol

mastershredder178d ago

It's no secret that it won't flush. It's pathetic and something just about every actor on that roster will likely not mention with serious excitement or promote it themselves. The cringe is the talent that went snuggling up to it for the $$$ opportunity. So lame and backyard buddy homebrew-level feeling. Total cash grab. Minimum efforts all around. Nice Hollywood reverse engineering a plot based on their talent pool to carry a game into lame territory.

ModsDoBetter178d ago

Game was ass.
Bought it to give it a try and it was beyond dead, as was the discord server.
Impossible to play online.
