Valkyrie Elysium looks like it could be pretty decent, and while Exoprimal looks fun it's a shame it appears to be co-op centric instead of single player.

Too bad we didn't see more of that EVE game (that character action game that looked Bayonetta-ish, but maybe a bit more sci-fi).

@RR529 I thought EVE was a new NieR when it first got revealed, given the gameplay looked fairly similar, and the main character had a pod-like ally.

Valkyrie Elysium is confirmed for Steam as well as PS, so that's the best State of Play I've ever seen .... They usually make us Steam people wait forever for that version

Things for PS5 fans must seem kind of dire when a TMNT Collection is the best part of your Sony presentation.

the best parts of the last Nintendo Direct was also mostly older games so shrugs

Bought WWE 2K22 for my Playstation 4. Im still playing WWE 19 though since i still have stuff to do in MyCareer and Daniel bryan showcase and still enjoying Universe in WWE 19 where my CAW is having fueds with seth rollings with promos etc. And i beat seth rollins for the Intercontinental title at the extreme rules ppv

So at least as far as I read, the most expensive PS Plus tier will have retro games...with cloud streaming. Which if true, likely means NSO is now the blatantly superior retro gaming service. I don't say that lightly.

So far, I enjoy Overcooked All You Can Eat PS4 as Assist Mode is really help me to proceed further until the last world (World 6) since it requires smaller quantity of stars compared with the original version. I like to do Freestyle when I have 10 seconds to spare by throwing the ingredients to trash bin or bottomless pit or dive to the lava or water until the time is up.

The new prime access is live on Warframe. Time to dive back in for a week or two to grind out those mastery points. I probably should get around to playing the New War but meh...I'm not in a hurry. The rewards for completing the quest just don't interest me.

@kkslider5552000 My understanding is that PS1/PS2/PSP games should be downloadable, with PS3 being the only fully cloud-only category due to the difficulty of emulating those games.

@Ralizah @kkslider5552000

The whole Playstation Plus Premium situation is hilarious. I'm not paying $18/month or $120/year to play PS1/PS2/PSP games locally or to stream PS3 games. Even if by some miracle Sony opted to make Phantasy Star Portable 2 available to play again, I still wouldn't do it. Sony Ponies are out of their minds if they feel PS+P is in any way a comparable value to Game Pass.

@Magician Well, the retro titles are in addition to the Game Pass-like system they're going to implement, which apparently includes even recent first-party titles like Returnal and Miles Morales, the PS Plus Collection, and presumably the usual monthly games.

If they include all of their older first-party stuff (including bringing new first-party games to the service after a year or so on the market), a healthy range of third-party titles, and bring over their massive PS Classics line (including PSP now, apparently), I think it's not a terrible deal.

First-party games 100% need to stay on the service, though.

Yeah & it's a tiered system, so if you didn't think it was worth going for more than basic PS+, you could still do that or go for the intermediate level .... They'll doubtless be revealing more soon enough

@Ralizah

Agreed, not a terrible deal.

But at the same time not an amazing deal for platform agnostic folk like me I'd imagine.

Yeah the Premium tier isn't worth it just to have access to legacy content. The Extra tier could be worth it depending on what games are in the catalog though. I'll probably sub for a month just to try Returnal.

Game Pass is still the better value though.

Oh ok. Still sucks any game is cloud only on a system more powerful than it ( cough Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 cough ) but 3/4 is pretty alright at least.

@Ralizah
I can buy an used PS3 Slim machine with $120 and I can play ALL PS3 games + PS1 games with same region as PS3 machine region in disc. Way more economic and useful than subscribe $120 for PS NOW to play PS3 games by streaming with limited games library (I'm sure 100% Sony will not put Hannah Montana the Movie, Barbie & Her Sisters Puppy Rescue, Dance Dance Revolution 2010, Move games, etc for PS NOW).

@Magician Subscription services like this are a much better deal if you only or primarily game on one platform, since the only thing you're getting out of it is access to content. Someone who plays 1000 hours of GP games is getting way more bang from their buck compared to someone who plays 100.

It's why I'm letting my PS+ sub lapse next month. I just don't spend enough time on PS4 to justify the expense.

@Anti-Matter If you just want to play PS3 games then, yes, snagging a PS3 is probably a much better deal. Especially since shovelware tends not to explode in price over the years. Bargain bins worldwide are probably treasure troves for the sort of experiences you're eager for.

Are You Smarter Than 5th Grader PS5

Autobahn Police Simulator 3 PS5

Some upcoming PS5 games I want to play in the future. 😃

God that "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" PS5 game looks awful. The art style just feels super uncanny, and it doesn't look like anything that really should be allowed to be on the console it's meant for. Don't understand why there isn't much in terms of quality control on these systems.
