Rise is a good get for me since I didn't trust the riding/fighting with monsters gimmick to be enjoyable. Now I can check it out

Goosejuice44d ago

Rise is a very good game. The monster riding thing is neat and can help quite a bit with breaking parts off.

Einhander197244d ago

They also added a bunch of games as part of Days of Play

Six PSVr 2 games

Before Your Eyes
Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord - Frozen Empire
Synth Riders
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 1
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2
Walkabout Mini Golf

And three PS2 games

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Tomb Raider: Legend

The three PS2 games have full emulation support including save states and and a rewind function as well as full button mapping, 4 different graphical modes and added trophy support.

InUrFoxHole44d ago

Rise is the only one I find interesting but a good list

Shane Kim44d ago

Man, Crusader Kings and Anno are damn epic. You should give them a try.

darthv7244d ago

I am hopeful that with each passing entry of PS1/2 games that get released on +... they will make it so you can use your own discs to download the updated and compatible version for the PS4/5. Like what XB does with its BC games.

bloop43d ago

Ghosthunter!! Wow!! Now there's a blast from the past!! One of those strange games where I remember it so vividly yet can't remember a single thing about it.

I have had my eye on Monster Hunter Rise for a while now, so big win here.

crazyCoconuts44d ago

So PS has quietly added PSVR2 games to Premium!
Seems to go beyond Days of Play.
Good discount on upgrading to premium right now, so I'll bite for the VR titles alone.

Profchaos44d ago

This was well needed as a psvr2 owner looking at psvr2 games to buy it can be a total crapshoot if they bare going to be any good or even work properly sonits nice to see them finally come to PS plus as a way to try a wider variety of games I may not have touched out of worry there was a problem with it

jznrpg44d ago

Some good games in there and some I haven’t played yet

Abnor_Mal44d ago

Glad that Kayak VR is part of premium, now I can try it, not a game that I wanted to buy to be honest.

I just recently bought Monster Hunter Rise, but haven’t started it yet.

What ever happened to premium getting the PS2 game G-Police?

darthv7244d ago

And this is why I like sub services as you dont know if you like something until you try it. Hence, the 'try before you buy' approach is not all bad.

Abnor_Mal44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

I have no intention of buying the game, never did. I do want to see the graphics since that’s what I was hearing being talked about when it first came out.

I get the whole idea of try before you buy, I’m not opposed to that, or Gamepass/subscriptions in general.

But when a large section of a platforms gaming community ops for subscriptions instead of buying their games out right, we see where that leads to with paltry sales on the platform for those same games.

You may be an exception compared to many others who out right say if a game is not on a sub service they will not buy the game. Or since game A is on a sub service then game B or any other game should be on a sub service. That’s when the industry suffers as a whole.

Profchaos44d ago

We got g police about two months ago I've got it loaded on my console now but it was on PS1 I never knew there was a PS2 version

darthv7244d ago

There is no PS2 version of G Police.

Abnor_Mal44d ago

Yea my bad, I said PS2 by accident. I really don’t remember seeing it on offer and only remember seeing people talk about it. Now I’m going to have to check my backlog of plus games.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 remakes were deemed “too ambitious” to make

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 remakes are likely off the table forever, as new claims from anonymous Activision devs bury your hopes for good.

Snookies1282d ago

I at least wanted 3... Sad to hear this...

-Foxtrot82d ago

"Tony Hawk himself purported that plans were in place until Vicarious Visions’ obligations to Activision’s mammoth FPS game franchise, Call of Duty, got in the way"

Same what happened to Raven Softworks sadly

We'll never get Singularity 2

XiNatsuDragnel82d ago

Oof cmon that's sad and we need a singularity 2 plz

isarai81d ago

How can remakes of a game that's already been made be too ambitious to be made? 🤣

LucasRuinedChildhood81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

The article says it was too ambitious for them to remake 1-4 in a single package for the deadline they had, not that remakes of 3+4 are too ambitious to be made in general. So they cut back to 1+2.

They were going to remake 3+4 later but unfortunately they got diverted to the Call Of Duty mines.

If Microsoft want to prove that they have had any sort of positive influence on Activision whatsoever, I'll be expecting Pro Skater 3+4.

Just let Toys For Bob remake the maps. The mechanics are already perfect.

FinalFantasyFanatic81d ago

It's a pity they never got around to that second collection, I don't really care for Call of Duty much myself, so to hear they picked that over more Tony Hawk remakes stings a little.

Smellsforfree81d ago

Not sure what the issues were with this one, but in general, I would say one reason being player expectations for modern games. Games from the late 90s/early 2000s were small (less than 100) teams and the assets (3d models, textures, etc.) were very low quality and therefore didn't take as long as to develop/polish as they do today. There were a lot of really large scoped games back then that would be difficult to develop to today's standards.

There were 721 cars in Grand Turismo 4 (2004), for example.

phoenixwing81d ago

This is kinda pathetic on Activision. Hire someone else to do a remake if you have to. Not every dev needs to be working on cod

Number1TailzFan81d ago

Yeah, on top of that who wants to buy COD every year? Seriously.. any good MP game should easily be good for 2-3 years before needing a sequel if it has enough content or a few updates here and there.

VersusDMC81d ago

They shat out modern warfare 3 with a 16 month development time that has them at a nice 56%(ps5) on metacritic and it was still the 2nd best selling game of 2023. Currently the 2nd best selling game of 2024. And modern warfare 2 was the 7th best selling game of last year.

Seems like everyone wants to buy it no matter what.
