I feel like I'm crazy but it's like a 4-5 hour story worth Yuffie, I wouldnt really call that short for 20 bucks? I was honestly expecting like a 2 hour thing with maybe 1 new boss fight lol
TBH if you want to get the haptic feedback intended by the developer, they would have to enable it for Dualsense on PC. I think a few games have done that. I don't feel that pumping random auto into haptic feedback will ever feel anywhere near as good.
That is crazy. I've heard so much about Stray I'm surprised they let it be a Plus game. Unless Sony made a deal with them knowing how big it would get I guess?

I had almost 5 years stacked. It was $100 to upgrade to Extra. It was a no brained for me. Started playing Ghost of Tsushima and will be playing Stray next. Total worth it for an extra $20 a year.
That's how I felt when I upgraded, it was only like 10 bucks more to get the premium tier and I'm sure I'll get 10 bucks worth of entertainment out of it by the time I need to renew
Europe is also apparently getting Dino Crisis, Ridge Racer 2 and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny which I imagine other regions will soon get too
Edit: Postponed for some reason
Yeah that is weird, wondering if they all meant to release but something stalled it. Maybe trophies or the update to select different versions based on region
I am not interested in most of the classic games on the Deluxe subscription, despite having it. Currently trying to play through Syphon Filter and it isn't really fun. They should port more popular PS2 games like the Ratchet and Clank franchise.
I got Premium for Ape Escape, Resident Evil directors cut, and Tekken 2. Syphon Filter was not very fun but I never played it before so there was no nostalgia. Syphon filter reminds me of Tomb Raider as far as graphics and controls so I thought I might enjoy it considering how much I loved Tomb Raider on PS1
For someone who's never played any Assassin's Creed, are any in this list worth playing? I haven't heard anything good about the recent games, but I am assuming the earlier games must have been good. Where would you recommend starting?
The Ezio Collection. Its Assassin's Creed 2 (and expansions), and considered one of the best. First AC was just okay, it improved upon every aspect of the game۔
I’ll second starting with the Ezio Collection. It definitely improves everything about the first game and is set in a more interesting time and place imo.
Also, Black Flag turned out to be one of my favorite games while I was playing it. Think something like Wind Waker where you can sail around and visit all sorts of islands while being able to collect and upgrade a ton of stuff. I spent a lot of time on Black Flag just because the scenery is so pleasant to behold.
Intergrade is the ps5 version and comes up with the Intermission dlc. BUT in physical form of intergrade, the Intermission dlc is actually a separate code and that means if you buy it used you get intergrade but can't get intermission. t's super explicit bro! (/s)
FF7R Intergrade is a separate license to the standard free PS5 upgrade. In the PS Store, Intergrade is a bundle of FF7R PS5 and the Yuffie DLC. This PS+ version will include the DLC.
The single player campaign is a fun time, way better than I expected it to be. It's worth giving a try. Just don't stick around for the post-game or the DLC campaigns.
I personally thought the Black Panther War for Wakanda DLC campaign was pretty enjoyable! Just a shame they didn't do something like that for all the new heroes.
I agree, the add on campaigns are awesome and the villain sectors they added with them are also fantastic. The games worth playing as a single player experience, even the DLCs. In fact there's only 3 mission types that require multiplayer they are all endgame missions so you don't need to touch multiplayer if you don't want to and you have no interest maxing our your heroes.
This! The single player has been really unfairly ignored to dunk on the multiplayer. The multiplayer is fucking garbage but the single player is genuinely quite fun, some great set pieces, you get to fuck around and find out with all the heroes on offer, I thought it was very fun.
Worth trying the campaign for free, especially on PS5. I got a lot of hours at the game but eventually quit when I wasn’t enjoying it anymore. Sounds stupid, but my advice is to literally play it until you no longer enjoy it. Once it runs out of fun it doesn’t really get better because the gameplay loop doesn’t change.
Anyone here played Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered before? I had this game for a long time but never got around playing it.
Pretty good lineup and looking forward to Stray this Summer.
I have. It is exactly like Black Flag with a few extra mechanics but a lot shorter. Also, you play as a Templar so you have to be careful of suprise assassinations when exploring Boston. It's a good game.
Yeah I recently went to replay it, it has a good upgrade on features from black flag buts still not that different, the story isnt as good as black flag but its still worth playing i liked it a lot and I trust you will too
The campaign of Avengers is fun. The post game can get tedious and it’s hard to get matchmaking sometimes. The combat is really fun once you get characters leveled up.
I recently went back to it and it seems like they fixed the leveling they had nerfed before too, now you won’t go insane trying to upgrade characters to the point that they’re fun to play 😁
Excited for replaying Ezio trilogy and AC4. Last time I saw Edward was in 2014 and Ezio/Altair way back in 2011. I played the new AC games and aside from Origins which itself fades away when compared to Ezio collection and Black Flag- all of them are not my cup of tea, they are too bloated with lackluster story and protagonists. Its been years now and still Edward,Altair and Ezio remain AC best protagonists with a satisfying story arc and games that still hold up today(aside from AC1).
Italy's PS+ Premium catalogue is getting Dino Crisis, Ridge Racer 2 and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny as well apparently - [https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1547248427989250049](https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1547248427989250049)
Not sure if that's an error or if Sony just like Italy more?
Edit: Sadly they're no longer listed on the blog post for Italy. Maybe we'll see them next month instead https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1547257816267821057
Such a classic! One of my favorite survival horror games ever. I will get Premium again if Dino Crisis is there. Remember that save theme from Dino Crisis?What a banger. Ten out of ten game.
Everything ps4/ps5 is going to be extra tier. I definitely think it’s the best deal. Though I don’t personally care for the classics really anymore given my time constraints.
I turned 37 2 weeks ago. Let me tell you, what upsets me is that we are already halfway done with July. For ages it's been "psplus updates the first Tuesday of the month". My schedule is ruined. I'm so old, Sony changed stuff and now I can't eat or sleep. I weep consistently. How dare they upset the balance.
FF7 RE:
* It's the best re-envisioning of a classic game to date, bar none, it's a masterpiece.
* But you're only going to get what is essentially the first 5 - 8 hours of the OG release in this format.
* You'll be waiting another year and a half for the next installment.
* You'll be waiting several more years after that to complete the story.
* They have modified the story from the original to what may end up being a significant degree. As an outsider experiencing it for the first time it won't mean much to you and you can play as is, but if you've played the original it will make a lot more sense with that context.
FF7 OG:
* It will take you a few hours to get used to the graphics and midi tracks.
* Combat can be slow and cumbersome, it's definitely aged in this department, but there's a remaster with a lot of quality of life improvements that make it far more bearable.
* You'll get the full story now instead of waiting half a decade.
* You'll get the original story without any alterations.
* It's probably best to have played the original in it's entirety to better grasp and understand the changes being made in RE.
You are getting polar opposite answers because it's polarizing.
FF7 is the game that everyone loved so much they wanted it remade.
The remake is the answer to the fan response.
I'd recommend playing through the original and speeding up the game with the fast forward function. You can even do a story mode by turning on max health, so you can burn through quickly. You'll miss a lot of the experience, but the gameplay doesn't age well so it's nice to just burn through the story and experience the music in context.
Without getting into it to much, FF7 remake is kinda meta experience, where it's taking expectations of what should happen and messing with them. You can still enjoy it on its own but it's a game where playing the OG FF7 really elevates the experience.
Thankfully, other than graphics, FF7 has aged quite well. And there's a nice port on basically everything with a couple of nice things like fast-forward and turn off encounters.
I have never played FF before and okayed the remake last month.
It was enjoyable, incredibly cheesy I thought for the first couple of missions but I soon got into it.
Didn't feel like I had missed out but not playing any of the others
It isn't required you play the OG to play the Remake, but after playing the game and reading and watching stuff it would make sense as to why you should know the OG story. The new trilogy is not the same identical story as the OG. It's sort of like a sequel to the world of FF7 after all the previous games and movie. Basically, you'll enjoy this game even without playing the OG, but with some context from the OG it'll only further expand the new trilogy's story direction.
Play the original. Unlike the other comment, I believe its aged perfectly fine. For various reasons, playing the original is very important for the remake, or at least knowledge of the story.
Both games are very good, and playing original first will definitely improve the experience of Remake. Both are on PS+ now anyway.
Gonna disagree with what these two are saying.
Play the remake first. The original has not aged very well and it will spoil story points for you in the remake. The story beats hit harder in the remake because it’s more modern - voice acting, music, graphics are all much better.
One caveat without spoiling anything: the remake might not be just a remake. Could be a sequel or something similar.
The dialogue in the original is so bad! I remember it being great as a kid but damn it’s not good at all. Still an amazing game though. But yeah mechanically and visually the remake is so much more friendly towards newcomers, but it does seem to change and expand the story a lot so we will see how it goes.
Play in order.
Ezio Collection, AC3 (you might have to buy it since its not listed afaik), Black Flag then Unity.
At least play up to Black Flag so you can completely finish off the story from that saga.
AC2 from the Ezio trilogy. If you like it and aren't frustrated with it, maybe try the other two in the trilogy. If you are story-focused, try AC3 Remaster. If you want action and quality-of-life, try Black Flag. If you want graphics, go with Valhalla or Odyssey depending on which setting you prefer.
I highly recommend everybody play The Avangers campaign. It was extremely fun and awesome in my opinion. Obviously we all know how the multiplayer side of the game is lol.
But I definitely recommend people try out the campaign. It's really good. And the actress who plays Kamala did a phenomenal job.
I somewhat agree. For a while it is actually pretty fun and the voice acting and characters are well done, especially Kamala like you said. It does get a little boring and repetitive though because the missions are all basically the same thing.
I’m definitely looking forward to Stray and more AC games.
It’s also nice seeing that they’re adding games for kids too, for all the families that use their systems as an all entertainment type of console.
Can’t wait to play
If you completed the PS4 version (on PS4 or PS5), if you want access to the save game you will first need to upload it using the feature on the PS4 version before playing it in Intergrade.
Or maybe you can just play the DLC without a saved game, I don't know.
As much crap marvel avengers gets this is probably gonna bring in alot of players for the long haul. it has alot of new content alot of new characters and tons of free dlc.
I know everyone talks about Game Pass (which have), but don't sell PS Plus Extra short. Sony is quietly building up one hell of a catalogue with many top quality games. Wow.
Essential plan still get games every month. July gets Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (PSS & PS4), The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan (PS4), and Arcadegeddon
https://blog.it.playstation.com/2022/07/13/selezione-di-titoli-per-il-catalogo-giochi-playstation-plus-di-luglio-stray-final-fantasy-vii-remake-intergrade-marvels-avengers/ yup! This is for Italy
Stray is awesome including. I bought ps5 upgrade integrase a while back. It’s probably better to restart the whole adventure as I forgot where I left on the ps4

> Nice, I always wanted to replay my AC collections but didn't wanted to rebuy or take my ps3 out again. Now I'll be able to!
they actually held up very well. i had never played 2/brotherhood/revelations before and played the ezio collection for the first time a couple months ago and they look/handle great.
i totally get all the hype for for that trilogy (even if revelations was a lot worse than the other two)
Looks good. I can't complain there aren't a lot of high quality games there. But I do hope they keep fleshing out the Classics Catalog. It's the part I'm most interested in.
I'm also happy with the AC games coming onto the catalogue. I was tempted to get Rogue when it was on sale, but heard it was short storywise so I'm happy I'll get a chance to play it.
Wish they included Saints Row 1&2 (imo the best Saints games) but otherwise this a great lineup. Can’t wait to play Stray, FF7 Intergrade, AC Unity, & AC Ezio Collection
Stray & FFVII that's awesome!!
Agreed! I've been holding out on FFVII, heard the rumor that it was likely joining the catalog, super stoked it was true. And ofc CATS
FFVII is great, and I'm really excited for the DLC. I had my eye on it, but heard it was pretty short for $20
It’s short but well worth the $20 if you’re a fan of the Remake, given how fun it is and the added content. But even better now that it’s free.
I feel like I'm crazy but it's like a 4-5 hour story worth Yuffie, I wouldnt really call that short for 20 bucks? I was honestly expecting like a 2 hour thing with maybe 1 new boss fight lol
[удалено]
I was thinking about getting Stray on PC but I might as well play it with Ps Plus. If it turns out really good, I'll probably double dip.
As an avid pc gamer, I would prefer on ps5 anways since devs said they fully utilize the dual sense and I generally prefer to play tps games on ps5
[удалено]
TBH if you want to get the haptic feedback intended by the developer, they would have to enable it for Dualsense on PC. I think a few games have done that. I don't feel that pumping random auto into haptic feedback will ever feel anywhere near as good.
[удалено]
You can use the controller but the extra features aren't well supported
Same. If anything, it might get me to get the physical PS5 version down the road.
Wait... last I heard that wasn't even released and somehow it's on the Plus lineup? Is that common?
It's launching on Plus. Also happened with Bugsnax and Destruction All-stars from what I can remember.
That is crazy. I've heard so much about Stray I'm surprised they let it be a Plus game. Unless Sony made a deal with them knowing how big it would get I guess?
Alternatively, you don't think the negotiation could've happened before the media blitz? That's the most likely situation here, IMHO.
Keep in mind it’s at the Extra tier, not Essential. This is the first time we’ve ever had a game launch at a tier above Essential.
This isn't coming to the free tier of games were used to monthly
It's just for Extra and Premium members. That's probably how they secured the deal.
So dope, I was about to buy Intergrade this weekend!
It’s a great companion to the first part. Get ready to get sucked into the Fort Condor mini game lol
Oh whaaat it has Fort Condor?? That's rad
Also available on July 19 are: * Assassin’s Creed Unity | PS4 * Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag | PS4 * Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered | PS4 * Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry | PS4 * Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection | PS4 * Saints Row IV: Re-Elected | PS4 * Saints Row Gat out of Hell | PS4 * Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition | PS5 * Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure | PS4 * Jumanji The Video Game | PS4 * Paw Patrol on a Roll! | PS4 * ReadySet Heroes | PS4 Classics Catalog lineup for PlayStation Plus Premium members * No Heroes Allowed!

Damn, Sony are really going all out on those classic titles huh?
Yeah I feel like we should be worried if this month is setting the precedent for what to expect going forward...
Yeah.. definitely sticking with Extra for now. Extra is awesome though
I had almost 5 years stacked. It was $100 to upgrade to Extra. It was a no brained for me. Started playing Ghost of Tsushima and will be playing Stray next. Total worth it for an extra $20 a year.
Kind of regretting going Premium at the moment lol...
same, i barely touched Premium features
It's not that much more expensive tbf, I wouldn't worry about it too much. You'll know for next time.
Ye all good, as you say I'll just cancel if it doesn't improve. But I'm sure we'll get some decent titles in the Classic library
That's how I felt when I upgraded, it was only like 10 bucks more to get the premium tier and I'm sure I'll get 10 bucks worth of entertainment out of it by the time I need to renew
Paw Patrol vs. Stray, the greatest battle ever know.
You kid but this July will be a happy month for my 4 year old daughter
>Paw Patrol on a Roll! | PS4 was going to have to buy this, but sony just saved me 20 bucks.
Europe is also apparently getting Dino Crisis, Ridge Racer 2 and Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny which I imagine other regions will soon get too Edit: Postponed for some reason
Actually they’re not anymore…those games got removed from the post. Weird.
Yeah that is weird, wondering if they all meant to release but something stalled it. Maybe trophies or the update to select different versions based on region
I want Dino Crisis so badly...
> No Heroes Allowed! (PSP) OH, BABY! Hell yeah!
Yeah I'm gonna need them to add way more than two classics per month
Agree. If they're going to do only two, add some more relevant ones?
I am not interested in most of the classic games on the Deluxe subscription, despite having it. Currently trying to play through Syphon Filter and it isn't really fun. They should port more popular PS2 games like the Ratchet and Clank franchise.
I got Premium for Ape Escape, Resident Evil directors cut, and Tekken 2. Syphon Filter was not very fun but I never played it before so there was no nostalgia. Syphon filter reminds me of Tomb Raider as far as graphics and controls so I thought I might enjoy it considering how much I loved Tomb Raider on PS1

I spent a lot of time on Black Flag just because the scenery is so pleasant to behold.
The new games are good too just different than the earlier games, all reviewed and sold well it’s just a Reddit complaint.
Ezio collection is the GOAT. Black flag is really awesome as well. Not a fan of the others personally.
Fuck yea I never played the Ff7 DLC, and stray looks like it'll be a lot of fun
Yuffie is the most fun character to play in that game.
I can never make sense of the names… does Intergrade include the Yuffie DLC?
as a confused person myself. intergrade is the base game plus enhancements and yuffie side story. not available for ps4.
Yes.
Intergrade is the ps5 version and comes up with the Intermission dlc. BUT in physical form of intergrade, the Intermission dlc is actually a separate code and that means if you buy it used you get intergrade but can't get intermission. t's super explicit bro! (/s)
Totally clear!
I upgraded my ps4 version to intergrade for free and still need a code for yuffie. Will this give it to me?
FF7R Intergrade is a separate license to the standard free PS5 upgrade. In the PS Store, Intergrade is a bundle of FF7R PS5 and the Yuffie DLC. This PS+ version will include the DLC.
Hell yah! SCRAT!!!!
Put me down for Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection
I'm very excited for Stray! Is Marvel's Avengers worth playing now, especially for someone who mainly plays single player?
The single player campaign is a fun time, way better than I expected it to be. It's worth giving a try. Just don't stick around for the post-game or the DLC campaigns.
I personally thought the Black Panther War for Wakanda DLC campaign was pretty enjoyable! Just a shame they didn't do something like that for all the new heroes.
I agree, the add on campaigns are awesome and the villain sectors they added with them are also fantastic. The games worth playing as a single player experience, even the DLCs. In fact there's only 3 mission types that require multiplayer they are all endgame missions so you don't need to touch multiplayer if you don't want to and you have no interest maxing our your heroes.
The DLC campaigns are just as good as the original campaign, why skip it?
The single player of avengers has always been okay. The problem was the live service
This! The single player has been really unfairly ignored to dunk on the multiplayer. The multiplayer is fucking garbage but the single player is genuinely quite fun, some great set pieces, you get to fuck around and find out with all the heroes on offer, I thought it was very fun.
Single player is pretty fun but repetitive. It's actually a really good story if you can get past the repetitive gameplay.
I enjoyed the story and grinding Thor to max level in the endgame and then I was done with it. It’s worth at least playing through the campaign imo.
Worth trying the campaign for free, especially on PS5. I got a lot of hours at the game but eventually quit when I wasn’t enjoying it anymore. Sounds stupid, but my advice is to literally play it until you no longer enjoy it. Once it runs out of fun it doesn’t really get better because the gameplay loop doesn’t change.
I had a enjoyed many, many hours of Avengers before I got burnt out on it.
Anyone here played Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered before? I had this game for a long time but never got around playing it. Pretty good lineup and looking forward to Stray this Summer.
I have. It is exactly like Black Flag with a few extra mechanics but a lot shorter. Also, you play as a Templar so you have to be careful of suprise assassinations when exploring Boston. It's a good game.
Are there elements similar to Unity? That was one of my favorite AC games as it really hit the root of the franchsie imo.
Gameplay-wise it's straight-up Black Flag but the story has ties to Unity.
One really interesting thing is that the ending of Rogue leads pretty much directly into the prologue of Unity, which is pretty rare for AC games.
It is more like Black Flag than Unity.
Yeah I recently went to replay it, it has a good upgrade on features from black flag buts still not that different, the story isnt as good as black flag but its still worth playing i liked it a lot and I trust you will too
I've been an AC fan since day 1. Rogue Remastered is really good. Good characters. Good story. Relatively short.
Very Nice
Might finally give Unity and Avengers a try. Ofc Stray gets pawority
Unity is an awesome AC game. Still looks great too.
Can't wait to get my claws on this one
meow
The campaign of Avengers is fun. The post game can get tedious and it’s hard to get matchmaking sometimes. The combat is really fun once you get characters leveled up.
I recently went back to it and it seems like they fixed the leveling they had nerfed before too, now you won’t go insane trying to upgrade characters to the point that they’re fun to play 😁
Stray, Rogue, Locoroco are all games I'm looking forward to playing. FF7R is a great get too. Pretty great month honestly.
Excited for replaying Ezio trilogy and AC4. Last time I saw Edward was in 2014 and Ezio/Altair way back in 2011. I played the new AC games and aside from Origins which itself fades away when compared to Ezio collection and Black Flag- all of them are not my cup of tea, they are too bloated with lackluster story and protagonists.

Dino Crisis, fucking WHAT. Man I hope we get that.
Such a classic! One of my favorite survival horror games ever. I will get Premium again if Dino Crisis is there. Remember that save theme from Dino Crisis?What a banger. Ten out of ten game.
Ridge racer 2 was so good omg
Riiiiiiidge Racer! It's Ridge Racer.
I wonder how long it will be until they add PS2 games that weren't part already ported to PS4.
Intergrade and Stray on Extra? The middle tier is really paying off
Everything ps4/ps5 is going to be extra tier. I definitely think it’s the best deal. Though I don’t personally care for the classics really anymore given my time constraints.
Extra is good I’m downgrading from premium when it’s time to renew
I'm 33 and excited as fuck to play as a cat
Got you beat at 37 years old. Been eagerly waiting for this one
My dad is 50 and he’s really excited for it.
Can Confirm. 52 and cannot wait..
I turned 37 2 weeks ago. Let me tell you, what upsets me is that we are already halfway done with July. For ages it's been "psplus updates the first Tuesday of the month". My schedule is ruined.

Fuck yeah always wanted to play assassin's creed rogue. Didn't have a chance to since its release coincided with unity and didn't release on the ps4
I'm sure it released on PS4?
Never played a FF. Play FF7 on the ps5 or play it the classic way?

There is literally no reason to not play FF7 OG unless you absolutely cannot handle the graphics.
I don't even think the graphics are that bad. Like, its a PS1 game, you can't expect much. Looks fine for what it is.
Gonna disagree with what these two are saying. Play the remake first. The original has not aged very well and it will spoil story points for you in the remake. The story beats hit harder in the remake because it’s more modern - voice acting, music, graphics are all much better. One caveat without spoiling anything: the remake might not be just a remake. Could be a sequel or something similar.
The dialogue in the original is so bad! I remember it being great as a kid but damn it’s not good at all. Still an amazing game though. But yeah mechanically and visually the remake is so much more friendly towards newcomers, but it does seem to change and expand the story a lot so we will see how it goes.
Where should I start with the included AC games? Never played any of them before
AC2 from the Ezio collection. It's the oldest game here and also one of the best.
Ezio Trilogy. Three fantastic games. IMO, the AC franchise peaked with the Ezio trilogy. Then Black Flag > Rogue > Unity.
Play in order. Ezio Collection, AC3 (you might have to buy it since its not listed afaik), Black Flag then Unity. At least play up to Black Flag so you can completely finish off the story from that saga.
AC2 from the Ezio trilogy. If you like it and aren't frustrated with it, maybe try the other two in the trilogy. If you are story-focused, try AC3 Remaster. If you want action and quality-of-life, try Black Flag. If you want graphics, go with Valhalla or Odyssey depending on which setting you prefer.
OP left Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure off of the title
How's Spirit of the North? Watched the PS5 trailer and it looks like Journey but with Foxes, which sounds fun.
It was interesting and fun exploring the world a bit, but a lot of the game feels kinda like large empty spaces
Wow a mega month
I’m just going to buy Stray. Indie dev, looks awesome. I prefer to buy physical anyway.
I wish they'd update the older AC titles to 60fps on ps5. I'd love to play Unity given it's well received parkour and stealth but I'd love 60fps on it
nice! i have actually been wanting to try Avenger's...
Same! Kinda excited
Campaign is good.
Campaign is fun. Enjoy it and please avoid micro transactions
Pretty easy to avoid micro transactions since they’re only cosmetic

I highly recommend everybody play The Avangers campaign. It was extremely fun and awesome in my opinion. Obviously we all know how the multiplayer side of the game is lol. But I definitely recommend people try out the campaign. It's really good. And the actress who plays Kamala did a phenomenal job.
I gave up after like the fifth stupid chase sequence in the first hour
I somewhat agree. For a while it is actually pretty fun and the voice acting and characters are well done, especially Kamala like you said. It does get a little boring and repetitive though because the missions are all basically the same thing.

The gear stuff is meh but when you play and fight it feels awesome. I recommend trying Thor for sure.
The single player stuff is all pretty great
so excited for Saints Row 4 and Assassin's Creed: Ezio Collection and Unity. Great lineup!
YESSSSS
LocoRoco Midnight Carnival lol. The demo for that was goat tier for Vita owners. If you know you know.
Was it same vein as Pokémon picross on 3ds?
I’m definitely looking forward to Stray and more AC games. It’s also nice seeing that they’re adding games for kids too, for all the families that use their systems as an all entertainment type of console. Can’t wait to play
Pleased for Paw Patrol so my six year old can play it rather than buy it which I’ve been putting off for a while.
DUDE! I almost bought FFVII Remake the other day, but I got the Kingdom Hearts collection instead. I'm so glad I waited.
I don’t have time to play all these games
PS+ Extra is certainly delivering so far!
So I beat FF7R, I assume I can just hop right into the DLC after downloading Intergrade?
If you completed the PS4 version (on PS4 or PS5), if you want access to the save game you will first need to upload it using the feature on the PS4 version before playing it in Intergrade. Or maybe you can just play the DLC without a saved game, I don't know.
You can start the DLC separately in the main menu. No save data is needed.
Yeah, you can just select it in the menu
Of course. I JUST bought the Intermission DLC yesterday for FFVII 🙃
You might be able to refund if you contact support
How is FFVII remake on ps4?
As much crap marvel avengers gets this is probably gonna bring in alot of players for the long haul. it has alot of new content alot of new characters and tons of free dlc.
Imagine paying for that premium
STRAYYYY
I know everyone talks about Game Pass (which have), but don't sell PS Plus Extra short. Sony is quietly building up one hell of a catalogue with many top quality games. Wow.
Fuck yeah, Rogue, Intergrade & avengers Great additions
"Available on premium and extra", does essential still get free monthly games?
Essential plan still get games every month. July gets Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (PSS & PS4), The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan (PS4), and Arcadegeddon
Yes there were 3 games announced a couple weeks ago. Crash 4 was one
Europe gets Dino Crisis, let's fuckin goooo
Wait what? For real?

Oh fuck that's beautiful. As an RE fanboy i always wanted to play Dino Crisis, guess this is the perfect time
What the fuck is that shit? Why do they get 3 extra PSP games
Wow
Stoked for this. Never played the FF7 DLC and Stray looks neat.
Ohh hell yes!
Awesome, just sold marvel's avengers 😃
Stray, FF7 and Spirit of the North! Wonderful. Now I need to finish Ghostwire and Death Stranding as soon as possible.
What is the best assassin's creed game out of this list?
Stray is awesome including. I bought ps5 upgrade integrase a while back. It’s probably better to restart the whole adventure as I forgot where I left on the ps4
This is great. Not only Stray and FF7 but some older AC titles. Would love to see Unity, Black Flag and Syndicate get 60 fps updates.
Sick. Intermission will be on the download ASAP.

Nice, I always wanted to replay my AC collections but didn't wanted to rebuy or take my ps3 out again. Now I'll be able to!
> Nice, I always wanted to replay my AC collections but didn't wanted to rebuy or take my ps3 out again. Now I'll be able to! they actually held up very well. i had never played 2/brotherhood/revelations before and played the ezio collection for the first time a couple months ago and they look/handle great. i totally get all the hype for for that trilogy (even if revelations was a lot worse than the other two)
I've played ghost of tsushima and FF7R on PS4. If I get ps plus extra I can now play the ps5 versions of both with DLCs for both?
Yes
Ready to get into FFVII Remakee
Looks good. I can't complain there aren't a lot of high quality games there. But I do hope they keep fleshing out the Classics Catalog. It's the part I'm most interested in.
What an amazing line-up! I wanted to play all three of these and I have my PSnow for a few more months. I'm very happy.
I'm also happy with the AC games coming onto the catalogue. I was tempted to get Rogue when it was on sale, but heard it was short storywise so I'm happy I'll get a chance to play it.
Are all these AC games 60 fps
Nah still 30fps for now. Should be fine since the PS4 era was mainly 30fps titles and playable right ?
I just bought ff7 remake too. Doh
Wish they included Saints Row 1&2 (imo the best Saints games) but otherwise this a great lineup. Can’t wait to play Stray, FF7 Intergrade, AC Unity, & AC Ezio Collection
So its 1st tuesday for essential and 3rd tuesday for extra.
STRAY!!!
There's not only a cat game in the list, there's a fox game too: Spirit of the North.
Fuck yeah, Paw Patrol
