New PlayStation Plus is live in the US | Sony’s classic PlayStation games on PS Plus are 60hz in North America

I own RE DC digitally and have it downloaded on my Vita but PS+ doesn’t give me the option of downloading the one I own, only the PS+ version.

Possibly because technically it's a different SKU. The version on the EU/US PSN was the Dual Shock DC version with the infamous clown fart music. This SKU is the standard Director's Cut.

But on that note, I own the US version of Tekken 2 and it's not letting me download it, so something's up.

Too bad there’s no Suikoden or MGS on that list. No Persona or Shin Megami Tensei games.

Playing Wild Arms. It's great.
Pretty decent classic but I was hoping they would put the PS2 remake Wild Arms: Alter Code F and Wild Arms 2.

Also no Star Ocean 2, but the psp port of Star Ocean first departure is on there.

They should just released the US versions in the UK.
we don't need anything but English language. it's not like anyone that don't speak English here speaks the European languages anyway..

Unless it's Gex...



For some reason the US and PAL versions had different voice actors, due to this I always saw Gex as a James Bond type of parody character with his suit and sophisticated upper class accent, however the American version is just well... listen.

I just downloaded GoT and Death Stranding. Win!

Whats not a win- game organization. Its a mess. I can’t sort games by PS5 only? The filters are very limited right. I cancelled my renewal and will wait for the system to get more functional before I re-sub.

I don't get it. I bought RE1DC before:

Why can't I play it?

PS: No PSN+ sub active.

So, if you owned the ps1 game before it is still blocked behind the paywall or no?

Any breakdown of “enhancements “?

The problem I think is that RE DC isn't available for purchase, it's ONLY on PS+. The games that are available for purchase (Syphon Filter, Ape Escape, Jumping Flash, etc) would theoretically allow you to download your purchased copy.

Makes sense! And also makes the whole launch so much worse!

So in the updated list for the US release now there are:
  • 369* original PS4 or PS5 games (32 of them having both PS4+PS5 versions or a special edition)
  • 450* remaked, remastered or emulated PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/Vita/arcade classics (13 of them having both PS4+PS5 versions or a special edition)
  • So a total of 819* full titles, but they are more because seveal of them are collections
  • 12* full game time-limited trials
* = some titles aren't available in all regions

Yep. Same problem here. I own a couple ps1 classics I can't play.
I didn't see the store, but at least in the PS+ website Resident Evil Director's Cut, Breath of Fire III and IV aren't listed.

So very likely means they (at least still) don't have a PS4/PS5 emulated version to download and this thing of being able to download in PS4/PS5 without needing to have a PS+ active subscription the PS1 games you owned before digitally it's limited to the ones they already have emulated on PS4/PS5.

There are no Vita games. And only one PSP game.

The classics section has:
24 PS2 games (all previously available on PS4/PS5)
12 PSX games
1 PSP game
Gravity Rush and Wipeout 2048 are Vita games.
They are included there remastered/remade in Gravity Rush an Wipeout Omega Collection.
And there also many remastered/remade PSP (plus PS1 or PS2) games more there, like the Patapon or Loco Roco series to name a few.

These classics absolutely suck compared to what we were promised.
We were promised over 400 classic games from pre PS4 platforms. In the list there are 450 and they will keep adding every month.

Gravity Rush Remastered and Wipeout Omega Collection are PS4 games.

They're not emulated Vita games. It's like claiming TLOU Remastered is there as the PS3 game, which is actually what they did by putting PS4 remasters of PS3 games into the Premium tier.

Why in the hell was 50hz in Europe to begin with. Was not Sony’s fault.
It is a tradeoff:
For a lower Framerate you got a much better image quality in return. Higher resolution, much better colors. Just look at old NTSC recordings and you see how bad it looked.

For movies 50hz it was also better, because it was very close to the 24fps of movies.

The TVs sold in Europe still can display 50Hz since the content broadcasted here is still 50hz. I assume the american flat TVs can do the same.

The PS5 can output a 50fps signal, it does so for PAL DVDs. Sony should change the emulator that it also outputs an 50fps signal and these games would be butter smooth without other major changes.

No Vagrant Story, Alundra, Vandal Hearts, Front Mission 3 or a bunch of other classics I'd happily buy and replay again, hopefully they are added in time, preferably with trophy support though I won't hold my breath for that feature outside of 1st party stuff. Still, the service is promising and the future is bright 👌
I see your an individual of taste! I too am like where the fuck is Alundra???
 
fudge. i can already see a possible problem. In collection there was a tab to filter out PS Now games. Because if u played Disney's Brave or whatever on PS Now it would automatically put it in ur library. Even if u played it for 2 seconds 3 years ago (not saying i did).

please don't tell me these renamed PS Now games are going to show up in the PS Plus section when i filter my library.

With the exception of Demon's Souls and maybe a few more, they included all the PS4/PS5 versions of (independently if emulated, remastered or remade) PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and Vita titles under the "Classics games" section.

This includes Gravity Rush Remastered (remaster of a Vita game), Wipeoput Omega collection (remake of PSP and Vita games) or The Last of Us Remastered (remaster of a PS3 game).

So with maybe a few exceptions, for PS+ "Game Catalog" are games originally released for PS4 or PS5 and "Classics Catalog" are games originally released for PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and Vita. Some of them using an emulator, some of them remastered, some of them remade and some (non-remastered/remade) PS3 games in the cloud only.

welp for $48 it wouldn't kill me to upgrade. But believe u me this is PS Now. I can't believe this fckery tbh. The whole purpose of 360 games on Xbox series is to download them and they run faster and look better and u can buy the disc.

i want to play a PS3 game here and it will stream only....and look and run possibly worse. and current games have no streaming? WTF did Sony spend all that money on a streaming service for back in the day
 
Did you test it?

Damn some of you guys are getting some really good deals with this stacking stuff. Too troublesome for my patience to do all of that; I'm gonna be a lame and just get one of the yearly plans for Extra or Premium....

...hopefully timed to picking up a PS5, though I guess most of the options are still there for PS4. So I guess I'll get it for PS4 for the time being.

I will subscribe for a month or two to play demon's souls, control ue, returnal ghost of tsushima and death stranding director's cut, miles morales and iirc that's it. That's fine to me but it isn't on gamepass level where I subscribe for a year.

It will be about 80% as good as GamePass. So we'll see you back in about 6 months....

Yeah, this is effed. Paid for essential for a year last month waiting for this to roll out. If I upgrade today I would have to pay the whole new price to upgrade. Not even the difference. So $100 for Extra and $120 for Premium…for 348 days lol

No thanks. I’m sure this isn’t intentional.

theres like 5 games worth playing on here tbh. And oh great everytime u download a game u get an email about a purchase.

PS Now was actually set up a little better. Because at least it had an Exclusives section. Where it put all the games u might actually want to play. And why did they remove the Killzone games??? Theres only the PS4 one on here now. KZ 1 & 2 were on PS Now last time i had it.

PS+ premium. All the games u never wanted to play in one place. thats what the slogan should be

What time is it?

I stacked years when it first launched. Sony were giving away free one month codes that stacked (Thanks Wario). Early on there were also really good Black Friday deals (half off). Sony Rewards also had a deal for signing up for their credit card that gave you a year free and $50 or $100 PSN credit for your first card purchase on the Store. I bought $10 worth of PSN funds for that. Most recently, CDKeys offered 1 years subs for $25.00.

completely forgot about Echochrome. had that on my PSP


Did your license transfer for Echochrome?

I got Wild Arms, Siphon Filter, and Oddworld showing free since I had them before, but Echochrome is not though I definitely own that on PSP. Wondering if PSP licenses don't transfer? A shame, I was looking forward to play it again, but not dropping $10 to do so.
