Free if you pre-ordered?

pre-orders got it a day early - it's open to the public now, just until the end of the day
― Nhex, Friday, 19 February 2021 15:48 (three years ago) link
yes it's now free for everyone and it's not just today, it's the whole weekend BUT rn it's not working at all and has been like that for several hours
you can download the beta but not play anything, not even the offline modes

oh, the beta is PS5 only? boo.
― Nhex, Friday, 19 February 2021 21:16 (three years ago) link
no, it's ps4 and ps5 and there's crossplay, the psn store is probably making it confusing

Anything worth checking out from today's State of Play?
― RZA Minnelli (Leee), Friday, 26 February 2021 05:58 (three years ago) link
A lot of them had been in previous state of plays... Returnal, Deathloop, Oddworld, etc. Returnal looks pretty nice.
Crash Bandicoot 4 and Final Fantasy VII Remake are getting pretty substantial upgrades for next gen.
Sifu and Solar Ash looked cool of the games I hadn't seen before.

only new announcement was FF7 Remake Yuffie DLC, it being exclusive to PS5 is wtf
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 26 February 2021 08:12 (three years ago) link
at least it's a free upgrade from the PS4 version but yeah, weird

presumably will be on PC eventually
― ciderpress, Friday, 26 February 2021 14:27 (three years ago) link
I see that Hitman 2 is on sale for a few more days, but how the trilogies work in terms of transferring progress is a little confusing. Would 2 be a good starting place (Hitman 1 GOTY is still full price), and I'd just wait for 3 to eventually come down in price?
― RZA Minnelli (Leee), Sunday, 28 February 2021 01:19 (three years ago) link
It's a little bit complicated.
https://www.ign.com/wikis/hitman-3/How_to_Get_Hitman_1_And_2_in_Hitman_3
Since you can import H2 progress to 3, 2 is a good starting place, but you won't have access to the Hitman 1 levels out of the box unless you pay extra for it as DLC or already own it.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Sunday, 28 February 2021 03:01 (three years ago) link
Except it's not, if your PS4 version is the one you'll be getting free with PS+ next month. So yeah, even weirder.

There's a Ratchet and Clank game that's free to download for some reason!

Is there a way to make the button prompts bigger in Hitman 2? I can barely make out the onscreen tips and tutorials.
― RZA Minnelli (Leee), Sunday, 7 March 2021 22:04 (three years ago) link
that's a problem for tons of games, for me. i think we're supposed have bigger and better displays
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Sunday, 7 March 2021 22:19 (three years ago) link
unfortunately, I enjoy having a wall in addition to a display, so
As well as hardly ever being able to make out button prompts, my TV is so old it overscans my PS4 and there's no option to stop it doing it, making a lot of games more difficult and some (Civ 6) impossible to play

Do I need a PS+ account to play Hitman 2? I bought Hitman 2: Gold Edition, which is supposed to be the full game + DLC, but I can only play the first level plus the prologue -- all the other missions say "Get Access" with a link to go to the store, but when I go there, it says it's already installed.
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Saturday, 13 March 2021 02:02 (three years ago) link
You shouldn't need it, unless you got Hitman 2 as part of PS+ a while back. Maybe delete and reinstall?
― Nhex, Saturday, 13 March 2021 16:54 (three years ago) link
I figured it out, the levels are separate downloads.
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Saturday, 13 March 2021 17:06 (three years ago) link
Free from April 19 to May 14Horizon: Zero Dawn Complete Edition
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 17 March 2021 19:47 (three years ago) link
Of course, I've bought like half the games in that promo and they're still sealed
― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 March 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link
I've had my eye on ABZU for a bit, and mildly curious about The Witness (mild because of my wariness about the FP POV).
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Thursday, 18 March 2021 00:09 (three years ago) link
Incidentally, I think I'm going to delete Ratchet & Clank. Unengaging script/characters, basic gameplay, and 25GB that could be better used for Hitman levels.
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Thursday, 18 March 2021 00:17 (three years ago) link
abzu and witness and gungeon are all very much worth playing; looking forward to finally trying subnautica

nice of them to drop them all at once! though they would do the Epic Store drip feedare the PS5 versions claimable too?
― Nhex, Friday, 26 March 2021 12:42 (three years ago) link
btw, i noticed that Sony quietly re-added the Wishlist function back to the store. good move. too bad my 100 WL titles from pre-Nov are gone, though.

They're all up but Horizon Zero Dawn, iirc. No doubt because that game is much bigger and takes longer to download.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 26 March 2021 15:54 (three years ago) link
xp aw, those links just redirect me to the current store

I just found the perfect supplementary thread for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/patientgamers/
A gaming sub free from the news, hype and drama that surround current releases, catering instead to gamers who wait at least 6 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

My horse in Red Dead (named "My Horse") would probably agree. But then again, I brush him and pat him and keep him fed and healthy.

Question about the new Mass Effect remaster: as someone who only played the first one on Xbox, is it a trivial thing to just buy the new one and start with part 2 on PS4? (I actually still have disc copies for of 2 and 3 for 360)
― Nhex, Saturday, 15 May 2021 02:38 (two years ago) link
Yeah, I think you can start wherever, though I think it uses some defaults for the narrative choices in the first game.
― Tahini Coates (Leee), Saturday, 15 May 2021 16:42 (two years ago) link
No idea what the prices will be, but there's a PS sale hitting at the end of the month that I think for the first time includes Ghost of Tsushima, Miles Morales and The Last of Us Part II, which were maybe the last three big titles dropped before the PS5 was released. I'm totally down for all of those, though most likely would skip Miles for now, only because I never finished the first game.

I thought God of War nu-2 would be the one that could convince me to get a PS5, but now it looks like it not only got delayed to 2022, it'll be for PS4 as well as PS5. So that's even less incentive to upgrade any time soon.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 18:01 (two years ago) link
2 years crossgen period is pretty normal, 2023 is when you'll get the first big ps5-only title
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 June 2021 18:24 (two years ago) link
Yeah, but for huge flagship first-party titles? I guess even Nintendo did it with the Zelda games from Wii to Switch, still hard to get used to that idea. I don't feel like this happened with Mario or Halo.
