Loved the first one. Very excited for this!

RaidenBlack1461d ago

The first one was stunning looking and this one looks even better!

NeoGamer2321461d ago

Ya this was a nice sleeper hit on GamePass. Glad to see it is getting a sequel.

Relientk771461d ago

Awesome! A Plague Tale: Innocence is an underrated and overlooked masterpiece. Can' wait for the sequel. I better see literally millions of rats.

CaptainHenry9161461d ago (Edited 1461d ago )

Wait is this a Xbox exclusive? They definitely promoted game pass

BigMalk1461d ago

Why disagree? It didn't say it was exclusive?

Very sad.

Mr_Luke1461d ago

I read it’s going to be on PS5 too, no one talked about exclusivity. Just day 1 GP

Relientk771461d ago

Not confirmed but an insider said its coming to PS5 and Switch

"A Plague Tale Requiem is at least correct.” It will apparently be revealed at the Xbox showcase as a day one launch on Xbox Game Pass (though it’s also coming to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch via the cloud). A release is reportedly planned for 2022, but that’s not all.

A next-gen remaster of A Plague Tale: Innocence is also reportedly in the works and will be included with PlayStation Plus for July on PS5."

It's not lol. Why would MS announce PS versions on their own show?

NovusTerminus1461d ago

According to the publishers website, it's PS5, Series and PC. So completely multiplatform

Relientk771461d ago

Focus Home Interactive (the publisher) listed the game platforms on their website

Platforms: PS5, XS, PC, Switch

Switch via cloud streaming

@Obscure

Thanks for confirming that. I give the Microsoft show a B because they showed a lot of CGI trailers with the AAA games. Hellblade 2 where you at?

TheTony3161461d ago (Edited 1461d ago )

Confirming what? It's day 1 on Gamepass but not an exclusive just like Hades.

CaptainHenry9161461d ago

@TheTony316

Yeah I thought he meant it was an Xbox exclusive

XiNatsuDragnel1461d ago

This looked good so I'm ready.

whitbyfox1461d ago

Amicia better not die at the beginning.

SyntheticForm1461d ago

Fantastic!

I actually never expected A Plague Tale to be expanded upon further - very much looking forward to this. The first one was a great game.

Nice... I just bought Evil West a couple months ago but never opened it. Now I won't have to. And i hear good things about Plague Tale.

crazyCoconuts534d ago

Plagues Tail Req is good. One of my favorite Dual Sense trigger effects on the slingshot.

--Onilink--534d ago

Nobody Saves the World is amazing too, SkillUp did a great review of it

Samonuske534d ago

On the same boat with evil west still have it unopened.

FinalFantasyFanatic533d ago (Edited 533d ago )

I already bought Evil West on PC just recently, I've owned Nobody Saves the World for a long time, I really loved the first Plague Tale game, I was waiting for it to hit $30 on Steam before I bought it.

Considering the games, this is one of the best months we've had in a while.

thorstein533d ago

I have every one of these on my wishlist. This is great!

I loved the first Plague Tale.

Really good month for the Essential catalog.

Storm23534d ago

I have wanted to try it! So glad it is included this month. Good job Sony!

Relientk77534d ago

A Plague Tale: Requiem and Evil West are both fantastic games. What a great month

Demetrius534d ago

Is plague tale worth a buy it looks interesting to me

SyntheticForm534d ago

Evil West, very nice! I've come very close to purchasing; glad I didn't.

Better late, than never I guess.

andy85765d ago

This is impressive to be honest. Even very powerful PCs were struggling with this. I'd be interested to see what sacrifices it has. Probably resolution? I played it at 40 and it was fun, probably in the top 2 best looking games I've played. I bet it's a great experience at 60

LOGICWINS765d ago

Glad I waited. Will never support a game that doesn't have a performance mode.

CS7765d ago

I really wish I could understand the science behind how much I don’t care about performance mode.

60 to 30 makes no difference to me after two minutes of playing.

So strange to see that its a literal dealbreaker for most.

andy85765d ago

Your eyes do adapt a little but you never fully get rid of the feeling of the camera moving like sludge when panning the camera. At least I don't anyway. As a console player I was on 30 all the time but since the I got my PS5 I've played one game below 60 which was this game at 40. I tried it at 30 for a few hours (was lucky enough my 120hz TV was delivered the day after) and I really wasn't enjoying myself like I should be

JEECE765d ago

The feel and responsiveness of gameplay makes no difference to you?

Knushwood Butt765d ago

The big shock is going from 60 to 30.

I recently went from Far Cry 5 at 60fps, to Far Cry New Dawn at 30fps, and no joke, when first playing New Dawn it felt like the game was totally broken. I did get used to it after about 10 mins, but at first it's a night and day difference.

mkis007765d ago (Edited 765d ago )

I mean you literally see less per second. On average someone playing at a higher fps would perform better in an fps.

Personally playing jedi fallen order and now survivor at 60fps is way easier on harder difficulties. You need to block and dodge at a moments notice, having those extra frames is a built in handicap.

CobraKai764d ago

Same here. It all becomes the same to me. As long as 30 fps is, for the most part, stable, I’m good.

Babadook7764d ago (Edited 764d ago )

“I really wish I could understand the science behind how much I don’t care about performance mode.”

Motion smoothing on your TV perhaps? I would always disable it even if it shows more judder. But it will make 30 fps look mostly smooth.

philm87764d ago

Just depends on the type of game for me. Can quite happily play this type of game at 30FPS.

Obscure_Observer765d ago

It´s time to revisit Amicia and Hugo.

jznrpg765d ago

I still haven’t played this yet . Sounds like a good time now maybe this summer
