That's exclusive to PS5, not PS4. And I don't just mean Sony games, what was the last game that got a PS4 version but not a PS5? 

 

Some Capcom games did, like the fighting game collections or the Monster Hunter Stories doublepack from last year.

I saw some things about the outage on social media and such... I didn't try to use the PlayStation yesterday though... did it affect people on here?

Interesting article on PCGamer, where PC games which could have had this mandatory login thing with PSN would also get affected, like apparently you could not start GoW Ragnarok if you happened to buy it when this was going on. Making the point that this additional point of failure adds no value and just more friction, which I agree with. A layer cake of different launchers with all their own bespoke authentication protocols is something we're better off not accepting

 

(the use of 'resist' gives me a 'gamers rise up' type of vibe in the headline but I agree with it otherwise)

Like the article suggests I doubt a lot of people had this amount of foresight and only 'resisted' because they want Steam, and nothing else but Steam on their PC. But it's always good to remind people of the risk and point out the very obvious lack of any benefit. Especially as it goes beyond just software at this point, with the detachable disc drive needing an online certification before its first use (which doesn't happen too often, but it's still something to keep in mind).

Not that there aren't people like that, but the argument of it being an additional point of failure when it comes to accessing the games you bought is one you do hear quite often imo. It's probably the biggest one I'd say and explains why GoG is a highly desired secondary option cause of zero DRM

 

I mean I'll speak for myself at least, I mentioned it here. Go me

While I'm being vain it seemed it came up before with ubisoft as well, when they tried to deactivate games

These additional loops also create friction and break functionality on Linux/steam deck

I honestly thought I'd be playing Veilguard through Game Pass but I'll take this... thank you nicely. 

 

Surprised if it doesn't get added to EA Play soon (unless Sony chucked them a few quid to put it on PS+ first).

Almost bought Veilguard cheap a couple of times so that’s a good get. TMNT is a nice bonus too.

 

Sonic Colours is very shit. Just ignore that one. 

I don't think Colours is shit, but I don't get why it got the following it did 

 

Anyway, Veilguard really must have fallen short of EAs targets to come on this quickly

It's generally a 9 to 12 month wait for single player stuff with that, I think.

They're adding the classic Armored Core games to PS Plus, I think you can also just buy them separately. I was deep into a hyperfixation with the third gen games on PS2 back when ACVI got announced and played them all, so am definitely keen to try these out.

 

That old control scheme is something else tho, shoulder buttons to look up and down and to rotate on the spot. Hardcore hand cramps
