"Then there’s the economic factors. Right now isn’t the time to buy anything pricy in Japan. The national consumption tax rate (which applies to basically everything you buy, as well as your utility bills) took a jump last year, and its impact has been felt on many industries. Meanwhile, the yen has been falling in value and employers are in no hurry to adjust wages." -PSLS
"A bumper crop of PlayStation titles make up October’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup. All these games will be available to play starting Tuesday, October 18. Without further ado, let’s dive in. Also added this month: The Medium, Dragon Quest Builders, Dragon Quest Heroes and more. "
It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…
Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.
I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(
They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.
I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.
Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.
fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no
It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.
Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit
If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.
Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.
Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.
Have they even added any new trials since launch?
Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!
I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things
I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.
Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.
Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?
A Greek retailer, The Console Club, has listed Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & II for pre-order for the Nintendo Switch.
If this is true I'd be curious to see if it comes all on the cart like the Japanese version. Probably not though with the added languages.
It’d be nearly 3 years since Japanese gamers had this ported to the console for it to get localized
Speaking of ports, Square Enix still needs to port DQXI S content over to PS4 and PC
Nintendo Life writes: "Last June, there was a rumour Wolfenstein: Youngblood would be making its way across to the Nintendo Switch. The idea of this happening came about when a GameStop employee revealed the game was listed for Switch and this followed with it appearing on the company's website."
meh, Wolfenstein 2 looks great even in handheld mode. Honestly, it's hard to sit there and nitpick when you are playing the game on something the size of a note 5.
Been waiting for DQ Heroes 1 and 2 for nearly 2 years now nice to see it finally come (if this is true).
In Japan DQ Heroes 1 & 2 was on a 32 gig cartridge. Everywhere else will probably get one physical and the other be a promo code. Figured Youngblood would get ported. It would be odd if it weren't considering they were pleased with how 2 performed on the Switch.
I'm betting Bloodborne, then Disgaea 5, then Metal Gear 5 raise the bar for PS4 software sales.
Curious, JP often holds onto their consoles longer than those around the world
10:1 hardware base
hmm... stupid click bait title that confuses people. should be why ps3version outsold ps4 version.
side note: pr needs to tell people that this game isnt a musou/dynasty warriors game. though i guess hyrule warriors changed peoples mind on these games. if it was then it would have been called dragon quest warriors.
anyway this isnt a warriors/musou game and people should understand this, it was stated when it was announced. i think it is more based on the toukkden series pr whatever it was called, i never played it.
Personally, I think they should have paid extra for the exclusivity to make it PS4 exclusive. If that was even an option...
