I believe it should be priced around FREE, and then maybe I'll sign up for this "Service"(if you can even call it a true service) ...something about paying to be in a Beta doesn't sit well with me

Panthers5763d ago

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about live.

Lifendz5763d ago

I have no problem with it. And if they have a beta that I really want in on (e.g., Killzone 2, Resistance 2) then I'll spend the 3 bucks. It's not that serious. Main thing is I have the option to pay for this or to not pay for it. I can still enjoy all the FREE services of PSN w/o ever even picking up Qore.

pwnsause5763d ago (Edited 5763d ago )

its a magazine, not an internet service that charges you to play online games. get it in your head. remember what magazines use to do when you got an issue, it came with exclusive demos and a free stuff not seen in any place else, thats what they're doing here.

Gunnet5763d ago

Be happy you got a sony console, and online play is free.

Qore is just a online mag. you still get demos and other free items in the PSN Store.

BulletToothtony5763d ago

From MS to the Customer and then right Back to MS..

Dark General5762d ago

Qore should be free. For me i see it as Sony seeing what they could do with having with subscription services. First Qore to lighten you up since it's optional and relatively cheap. Depending on how the response is from Qore i think that'll be a strong hinting of what they COULD get away with in the future. We should be vetoing it against Sony they can make a optional subscription service but can't even bring out PSN cards for us non willing credit card users.

thereapersson5762d ago

There's just something about paying a fee to play games online and message your friends that doesn't sit well with me...

Oh wait!

SL1M DADDY5762d ago

Qore is optional. At least the PS3 offers free online play.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.

Paying Extra For Early Access Cannot Be The Industry Norm

Charging for early access has started to become a regular practice in several AAA games, and the gaming community should not tolerate this.

CrimsonWing696h ago

Don’t uh… don’t pay for it then? 🤷‍♂️ It’s 3 days early, let people who can’t wait pony up to pay for early access. I’d hope people have more control over themselves if they don’t want to pay extra. I personally, do not see an issue with the option. If I’m hyped for a game and they give you early access, I’ll pay. If it’s something I can wait to play on “actual release” I won’t pay extra. It’s as simple as that.

Crows906h ago

Except your entirely mistaken if you think it's "early access"

Theyre just charging you extra to play it on release. So gullible.

Obscure_Observer5h ago

"Theyre just charging you extra to play it on release. So gullible."

Not really.

In some cases, paying for early access will grant you access to play those games at the same time media outlets and reviewers are playing their copies.

Besides, it´s a single player game. It´s not like early access to MP competitive games like Battlefield which EA would grant a full week early access to those willing to pay; which gives a unfair advantage to those gamers and breaks the game´s balance.

CrimsonWing694h ago

are you playing it earlier than retail release?

If that’s the correct answer, how is it not early access?

Crows906h ago

It's not early access...it's playing on release...early access is when the game isn't finished and needs a little more time...you also get it months in advance.

Let's not get confused here..

Andrew3363h ago

You get access to the game before it goes live for people who purchased the standard version of the game... thus you are getting early access.

Crows902h ago

Nope...you get access to the game the day it goes live. Those who didn't pay extra are blocked from accessing it as a punishment for not paying full price

VersusDMC6h ago

Microsoft has been doing premium edition early access for awhile(Forza and Starfield recently) ...so why is it an issue now when Ubisoft does it?

It can't be the gamepass excuse as Ubisoft has day one subscriptions as well.

Obscure_Observer5h ago

I´ve paid for Starfield´s Premium Edition to get early access to the game, plus Shattered Space expansion.

I don´t regret my decision and I mighty pay for it again to get early access to Fable and TESVI.

Andrew3363h ago

@VincentVanBro yea like the kind of idiots who worry about how adults spend their money.

Crows902h ago

@andrew

Just like the kind of idiots who get scammed and don't realize it.

gold_drake4h ago

as long as people are paying for it, it will be a thing unfortunately.

the fear of missing out is ... huge. especially online.

CrimsonWing694h ago

I don’t think it’s about missing out. Think of it like a movie you’re hyped for. You can see it early if you pay extra or just wait until Friday when it officially releases.

It’s nothing more than that.

Crows902h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Nope. You're not seeing it early. Everyone else is seeing it late.

When a product releases to the public...that's the release date. If they company then chooses to block access to the product unless you pay extra...that's not early access...that's day 1 access.

CrimsonWing6939m ago(Edited 38m ago)

@Crows90

No, there’s a public release date and an early release date. Just like with movies having early screenings and then public screenings.

They let the public know the release date and then give people an option to play early by paying more.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 4h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai22h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing698h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle7h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal7h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

Abnor_Mal3h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing16h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
