Kick-ass month, really great selection of games all around.

Eonjay829d ago

This is getting crazy 🤣.

solideagle829d ago

wait isn't RE7 bio part of PS5 collection?

Eonjay829d ago

The collection is being retired. Considering the explosion of PS5 sales, it's encouraging they added this.

Neonridr828d ago

@Eonjay - but not until like May or something

Obscure_Observer829d ago

First party games coming to PS Plus after an year is great!

crazyCoconuts829d ago

Especially given this is only $40/year over the $60/year "essential" plan, which is already really great. That's $3.33 PER MONTH to get access to all these extra games... Very cheap...A LOT cheaper than the competition

The Legend of Dragooooooooooooooon!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! !! BEST MONTH EVEEEEEER

Eidolon829d ago (Edited 829d ago )

Remake incoming? :eyes:

shinoff2183829d ago

We can hope right. It would be fing epic

Hofstaderman829d ago

I know. This game alone is worth the price of admission. For those that haven’t played Forbidden West, enjoy.

Eidolon829d ago

Legend of Dragoon? I think it's worth the $10 for the month, depending on who you're asking. There's something for most people in this list, H:FW is definitely a surprise and worth the admission, given how recent, big budget, and well reviewed it is. Now I can justify getting the DLC.

Wow, pretty good month. I was deciding between scarlet nexus and tales of arise on steam a couple of weeks ago and bought tales. Glad I chose that. Love legend of dragoon.

EvertonFC829d ago

Outriders finally get to check it out ☺️

Goosejuice829d ago

Outriders is decent. Not great but also not a bad game. Some decent fun with friends

crazyCoconuts829d ago

I played it solo. It wasn't terrible. Like a 7/10 imo

Kurt Russell827d ago

I enjoyed it as a co-op experience. Once you level up you get use of some genuinely fun abilities.
Once you finish it, a month or so later you won't remember it though sadly.

blue88829d ago

Horizon forbidden west is a year old.

roadkillers829d ago

Odd, I would classify my “didnt horizon just come out” as excitement for a new game being added to PS+. Most people seem to see it as a year being a long time. IMO, this game just came out a year ago. Pretty fresh game to hit PS+

crazyCoconuts829d ago

Yeah I'm surprised this is our already. Not like it's selling for $20 at this point, it's almost full price still

KwietStorm_BLM829d ago

"IMO, this game just came out a year ago."

That's like saying in my opinion, Thursday comes after Wednesday. You asked a quantifiable question. It did come out a year ago. That means it's not 5 years old but it's also not new, as it is a year old. That's not mutually exclusive with being excited to see somewhat kind of recent game added to the catalog.

Obscure_Observer829d ago

With so many games to play across multi platforms, It does feel like HFW is fresh out of the box.

Burning Shores is not even out yet! O.o

Sonic1881829d ago

@Obscure_Observer

The reason why they're releasing it so early on PlayStation plus is because Horizon Call of the Mountain and Burning Shores is coming out soon. This is all for marketing and popularity. Not to mention Horizon TV show is coming to Netflix soon as well.

CobraKai829d ago

Time flies. It feels like it came out last month or something.

I Watched the Leaked Horizon AI Tech Demo Through My Fingers

Maybe I'm turning into "old man yells at cloud."

So lame, a tech demo was conducted to test new technology. This is nothing new; they've been doing this since the 1980s. There have been thousands of tech demos that led to nothing. That said, AI is here to stay, and it will eventually find its way into games in one form or another. It's time to stop the overly dramatic reactions and accept reality.

Christopher60d ago

Talk about a 180 midway through your argument. Perhaps that 180 is why people are talking about it?

darthv7260d ago

What he said was not wrong though... AI is here and being used more and more is different industries. Its not like it is going away anytime soon.

Christopher60d ago

@darth: Where did I say he was wrong other than expressing that it's this thinking that people are talking about it? He complained about people talking about a tech demo being shown to the public as an expression of AI's use being popularized and then proved it with his own words. I didn't say they were wrong, only it only gives credence to those who are worried about the popularization and use of AI in the industry to replace actual actors.

Rancegamerx59d ago

I can see what you mean. What I am getting at is just because they did a tech demo with Aloy using AI to voice doesn't meam that this particular tech will ever actually be used. Although I personally think it will, if we can get voices to sound more natural and real. Unless it's stopped by voice actors.

darthv7259d ago

that is the current situation. voice actors are 'voicing' their concern over the use of AI. im sure you have heard those TV commercials where you can tell its an AI voice. But as things improve... there will be a point where nobody will be able to tell the difference.

Mr_cheese60d ago

Thegamer are quickly highlighting themselves as a website full of over the top BS

gold_drake60d ago

there is this website from a bunch of devs who developed a more enhanced AI conversational voice thing, where u can talk to them.

i did for 10 minutes and it freaked me out how real it sounded. it did glitch a few times but damn. the, in real time, chatter and response was amazing and frightening at the same time ha

Kyizen59d ago

One of the original Toy Story developers summed it up nicely. Basically when they were doing Toy Story people were shocked you are going from hand drawn art to computers but now no one blinks an eye and most if not all anime is 'drawn' on computers. But he also stated this didn't replace artist but just gave them a new tool to use. Now with AI the author is saying it will replace writing but it won't, using it to have dynamic conversations with NPCs or chatter as the character explores the world will avoid that repetitive banter. You will still need writers to craft a good story and make a compelling character(s).

Horizon Forbidden West Struck the Perfect Balance of Tribes for Horizon 3

Horizon Forbidden West may have struck the right balance after adding several new tribes to the series, something which Horizon 3 should try to keep.

No horizon 3 i beg you Sony .. enough of this series already

pwnmaster300080d ago

It literally only had 2 main games and 2 dlc.
Sure it had some spin off but others have more
Halo
Gears
Elder scroll
Uncharted
God of war
Gta
Etc.
Game isnt done yet and just because your tired of it doesn’t mean everyone is.

ravens5280d ago

Exactly. (*All following #s are slightly exaggerated*) There's like 36 CODs. 16 Assassin's Creed. 25 Final Fantasies. 80 Maddens. I hate when we're on the 3rd iteration of a game and people say this.

isarai79d ago

We've had 2 main games, 2dlcs, a vr spinoff, a lego spinoff and soon to be GAAS spinoff

lukasmain80d ago

Why not? It's popular. They're great critically acclaimed games. It need a 3rd game.

northpaws80d ago

@Cacabunga

Only speak for yourself, I want to know how the story ends.

raWfodog79d ago

Same here. I'm enjoying the story. I want to see what happens when Nemesis arrives.

JEECE80d ago

It all depends on if it's actually a massive step forward or if it just feels like an iterative sequel. There's a lot of revisionist history now about how "mid" Horizon has always been, but people weren't saying that when Zero Dawn came out-people were pretty much universally into it. The major hit against it at the time was that it came out too close to Breath of the Wild.

The problem with Forbidden West is that it took five years and it was just an iterative sequel. Iterative sequels can be fine, or even great, but when five years pass and a new generation of consoles comes out, people expect a big jump, and they didn't get it. Stuff that worked in 2017 felt tired by 2022.

3 can't just be Forbidden West with slightly better graphics. It needs to actually be a meaningful leap.

ravens5280d ago

Im looking forward to the 3rd game. I'd like that to be the last one though. New IP after would be ideal.

jznrpg80d ago

Took me a little while to get into Forbidden West because I was playing on hard but it was really damn good once I got into a groove.

I want to see the ending of this trilogy so hopefully it’s not too far out. Hopefully whoever plays Sylens can do the character justice.

isarai79d ago

I dunno, i LOOOOVED Zero Dawn, but i wanted Forbidden West to be over by like the halfway point. It's an absolutely gorgeous game but damn was it buggy for a while after release, and the enemies and combat felt so janky and unbalanced compared to the first.
