Ready your wallets once more as Sony has slashed the prices of some of its most popular PS4 games on the North American PlayStation Store. The likes of Naughty Dog’s seminal The Last of Us, From Software’s Bloodborne and Evolution’s (R.I.P) DriveClub have had their prices cut down to size.

dang i wish Bloodborne would drop around $10.

theXtReMe12881d ago

Youre getting a hell of a deal at $20. Also, Driveclub @ $7.49 and Until Dawn @ $20 are a no brainer. The great thing about this generations games, is that they tend to drop in price fairly quickly after launch. At launch, you can get them for sub $50 prices and weeks after, sometimes $40 and under.

It pays to wait, if you can. You get great games at incredible prices, in doing so.

SeanScythe2880d ago

I still have a backlog of games to finish. The Witcher 3 DLC, Fallout 4, Uncharted 4, The Division. The last game like Bloodborne I played was Demons souls. I enjoyed it but I don't have that free time anymore. Full time Job, Wife and 2 kids under 3years old is a lot. I waited this long for it to drop in price and for a Single player game that I know is time consuming I want to spend as little as possible. $10-15 is the most I'd spend. I'm not a huge fan of the series but it looks fun and I can wait a little longer if needed.

Goldenarmz2880d ago

And Best Buy gamers club makes it even cheaper if you still buy physical copies. I never buy from these sales as I can usually get them for much cheaper with my member ship. Plus tack on the coupons if you shop at BB regularly. WIN

ziggurcat2880d ago

$20 is a steal for Bloodborne.

Eidolon2880d ago

You can get a physical copy with GCU for $16. You're holding out on playing a great game over $6-$10? I'd understand a PSN indie game, but not Bloodborne.

aquaticDonut2880d ago

I like how you're getting disagree votes. Like people don't want the game to be cheaper.

Eidolon2880d ago

Everyone wish it could be free, but that's not going to happen, it may be months and months until we see it at $10. So he's just being really cheap to want to wait that long to play it over a few dollars, or he pretty much just has low interest in it.

nX2880d ago

If you don't have 10 spare dollars for a game like Bloodborne, for many the GOTY 2015, you're better off living from Steam sales altogether.

CorndogBurglar2880d ago

Of course everyone would want it to be as cheap as possible. But its already discounted 50% for $20. Some people can just never be pleased and always want a little more.

I'll be picking up Bloodborne, TLOU (as i've never played it), and Until Dawn. 3 fantastic games for the price of one. Yeah. You can't beat that.

CorndogBurglar2880d ago

Lol jesus. Some people just can't be pleased. Who wouldn't like Bloodborne for $10? But come on man, its already discounted 50% at $20. Thats a hell of a deal.

C-H-E-F2880d ago

Ehh, I bought BB brand new release day. And I just beat it two weeks ago... and guess what. I don't feel like initial cost was enough this game was astounding.

trywizardo2880d ago

yeah,they should make it free on next month plus games ...

deafdani2880d ago

I got Bloodborne for $20 on Black Friday. Had I known this game was THIS massively good, I would've bought it at launch for full price happily. I'm currently 24 hours in, and it's already become my favorite game on the PS4 (yes, even better than Uncharted 4, in my opinion).

$20 for that is an absolute steal.

OldGuyStillGaming2880d ago

Even now Bloodborne is worth $60

For $20 it's a damn great deal

IamTylerDurden12880d ago

If u recently got a PS4 and u don't own TLoU, Driveclub, or Bloodborne you should buy them all right now. These games are required material for any PS4 owner, and at less than $50 for all three.

InTheZoneAC2880d ago

absolutely no reason to not buy driveclub if you're a fan of any racing game

hduce2880d ago

I really liked Driveclub at launch and even more so after the updates and patches. I paid full price for it and don't regret it. Only a fool would pass it up for less than $8.

Eidolon2880d ago (Edited 2880d ago )

I would but I have no racing wheel and I wouldn't say I'm into racing games because I have no wheel to enjoy them. Is it like GT, or all cars preset, no tuning/upgrading/ etc? Without that it's boring to me if I have to use a DS4, the wheel makes it funner.

nX2880d ago (Edited 2880d ago )

Driveclub is built around playing with a controller, I'm not even sure wheel support was there at launch. It's very different from GT, more of a arcade racer with semi-realistic physics and insane graphics.

InTheZoneAC2880d ago

I'd much rather use a controller due to steering wheels never feeling "real" and no camera view in game can give me that realistic field of view(VR headsets would definitely fix this issue since it's basically a "panoramic view")

Eidolon2880d ago

I guess I don't like realistic racers then. :p I liked the PS2 GT's, haven't played any newer ones.

Scatpants2880d ago

It's like an entirely different game with a force feedback wheel. I don't even like racing games with a controller, but with a wheel they're great. I can feel exactly when I lose traction and when I get it back again. That makes a big difference.

DEAD-DEVIL-DISCO2880d ago

I saddly have no wheel yet for this gen. Have projcars and dirt,,, and its just not the same. Thought id have one by now but real life i have a truck payment and buy gasoline : (

Soc52878d ago

Wow just got it for 7 bucks, I had never played it before, it's surprisingly good and at that price a steal. If you like driving games and own a ps4 get it!
I was impressed even the menus are well done and the load times are really short.

Morgue2880d ago

I just noticed that when viewing a game in PSN store the backgrounds are different for each one. Kinda cool looking I guess.

InTheZoneAC2880d ago

I saw the new background for one the games I was watching a video too, thinking it was just a promotion for that one game. Said to myself I wish they did this for all games and sure enough they did.

JamesBroski2880d ago

I want to buy DriveClub, but I don't have PS+, am I going to miss a lot of features other than online mp?

nX2880d ago

I think the a-synchronous online features still work, so you get ghosts from other players during offline races. In any case you would regret not buying it at this price, you wouldn't even be mad if PS+ gave it out for free next month.

JamesBroski2880d ago

Thanks for the headsup man!

Doesn't look any different to the ps4 version. Hope it's not another lazy Sony remaster a.k.a remake.

Andy_Dee66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

Wrong, they even showed it on the last State of Play and I just played it the month before since I wanted to go back to it.

It does look better and more cleaned up, it's not a remake at least what they said. They said remaster so this article is wrong from the info I've heard.

Until Dawn is getting remastered to coincide with the live-action movie.

So not a Lazy remake and yes it looks better! :)

CrimsonWing6966d ago

It’s pretty different looking.

Neonridr66d ago

I'm sure it's a fair upgrade seeing as it's UE5 now. That being said, the original was not ugly by any stretch and I can't fully understand the need to remake this other than a cash grab to coincide with the movie that is coming eventually.

Crows9065d ago

Please point to me to a lazy remake?

Hedstrom66d ago

A good game, had some fps troubles on ps4. So hopefully thats ironed out with some better looking graphics.

solideagle66d ago

I think Sony should rename PlayStation to RemakeStation. I am a Playstation fan but this is getting ridiculous. I think this is the weakest gen software-wise compared to all other gen.

PS2 > PS3 > PS1 > PS4 > PS5

Battlestar2366d ago

Agreed. Sony has released only remasters/remakes of games and noting new. MS has released so many new games i don't have the time to name the all.

solideagle66d ago

I have never owned or cared about Xbox, so I don't have any opinion about that. if you say that MS has released then I believe you I guess

Terry_B66d ago

Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2 , Horizon Forbidden West to name a couple.

And what Microsoft released in the last couple of years was way beyond the league of those listed games.

MrNinosan66d ago

Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West to mention a few of the good ones.
Then everything on PSVR2.
Then we have the bad ones, like Destruction AllStars and medium ones like Sackboy: A Big Adventure.

On top of that, there are lots of third party games.

Compare that to MS.
Redfall, MS Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport, Starfield, HiFi Rush. Did I miss anything?

Now lets compare the games, and see which console had the best start this generation.

solideagle66d ago

I think Sony should have abandoned the PS4. we have not seen true PS5 potential yet. where are those games that would load Assets from SSD where the character is looking <-- Mark Cerny

I hope all new games from Sony Studios are PS5 only from now...

CrimsonWing6966d ago

What’s worse is this gen is almost over, if you can believe it.

staticall66d ago

@solideagle
I completely agree with you. At first it was like «Hey, so cool, i've never played this game and it's getting a remake, means it'll be much better!» but now it's «Come on, i was just playing that, it still looks and plays just fine». I want to play new games, try new experiences, hear new stories from new characters. It's like gaming companies have hired George Lucas as a consultant or something.

@Battlestar23
> MS has released so many new games i don't have the time to name the all
Suuuuuuuure, dude. Come on, be real.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro66d ago

Looks like the PS4 version. Lol, that'd be 70 bucks.

Machina65d ago

Cheap and quick way to fill in the release calendar in-between major new games - that's why pretty much all the major publishers have been doing it.

This is a fun game. But remaking this is lazy. A cheap remaster while a new game is being developed would have had more value for the customer.

EvertonFC81d ago

Yeah I here ya, I'm on the fence tbh as I think the haptics could be really cool but it seems a little early.
I guess it's to tie in with the movie release so makes sense somewhat.

outsider162481d ago

This over Killzone remake? Or Socom 2 remake?

monkey60281d ago

Less effort and there's a movie release to tie into.
I am very tired of all these remakes and remasters of games from recent years. If they're going to remake anything it should be a lot older.

Chevalier81d ago

If the Resistance trilogy on PS3 was being remade I would buy that day 1. Really hope the franchise returns along with Killzone

JEECE81d ago

Socom 2 remake wouldn't be worth the effort. I don't know the exact number it finally sold, but from looking at articles from a few years after launch, it looks to have gotten in the ballpark of 3 million. It has been twenty years now so many of those people probably don't even play games anymore, and the people who play multiplayer games now would start whining about Socom about three weeks after launch about how "there isn't enough content" and "they just sent it out to die." Granted, it would probably develop a small but dedicated player base from the old crowd who want a stable, solid multiplayer game instead of a live service, but that isn't a lucrative proposition for Sony.

EvertonFC81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

It was the same when millions of gamers asked for a sly remake then when the game came out it sold like 10,000 copies.
Sometimes we think we want the old games then in reality nobody ever buys it 😂🤣

outsider162481d ago

You have a point though. I guess we want it because of nostalgia. Was hoping we'd get a socom with a good single player and ofcourse multiplayer, maybe it'll sell well.
