Unless they've changed PS+... you get the game forever if you download it during the 2 month window.

No buzz and 70$ price tag made zero sense. This is a very smart move.

You can add to your library via PC store... no need to have the PS5.

I was buying it regardless.
Reminds me of Burnout 3 style of Crashes. I expect Last Of Us Fractions on Playstation + too soon.

Have they released a gameplay video yet? How does it remind you of Burnout?

Honestly, this is a good move. I wanted to try this but not spend $70 on it before doing so. I'm in on day 1 in this case, hopefully it will be good and pick up some traction once people actually have it in hand. The complete lack of previews and media had me thinking it was going to be trash tier or delayed anyway.

It’ll be free for PS+ members to download for 2 months and keep even after that. Not free for non PS+ subscribers and after 2 months it’ll be buy only for everyone.
They’ll not offer it for PS+ subscribers for only 2 months period. That’s beyond stupid.

I suspect they realise preorders are low (not suprising when we know very little about it), combine that with 'Limited' amounts of hardware at launch, equals not the greatest of starts for it. Good move to put it in Plus and refund those already preordered, gives the user another game to choose at launch. On that note, you think Sony have another game to replace it with at launch? Maybe too short notice.

Wow, that's an interesting change. I wonder if they didn't feel confident with it having a full MSRP? Hmm, well, regardless, this is smart adjustment. One of the few PS5 titles I was excited about at launch or at least interested in knowing more about.

Sony trolling their own games
wtf are they the actual in game heads? what the actual fuck
Nah, it's a win really. They're giving away a game for free that a lot of people probably wanted to try but weren't going to pay more than £20 for. Sure, it looks bad that they were trying to push it at £70 but I think the goodwill will outweigh the negatives here. I still don't think it will have long term success, probably 4-5 months between other big hitters.

You can redeem it during two months. You will keep it forever, like all PS+ games.

Wasn't trolling, thats what I thought they meant.
They aren't completely clear on it, the wording isn't locked on. However, after re-reading it, it does seem likely they are including it. Of course, unlike xbox gold, if you leave ps plus, you don't get to keep the game.

They probably don't want to launch their console with a game that they know is going to be DOA.

The first part should be edited as (Launching at $70) and it’ll be perfect.

It was one of the games they showed in the UI demo.
I believe the change is more about business decision (preorders were probably abysmal) then development delay... the game was ready to ship.

If only they showed more footage for the game which is the thing multiple media outlets asked for so people know what the fuck Destruction Allstars is.

It’s a system seller according to gaf ps fanboys.But what about the millions who were planning to queue up to buy this gem for the low price of $/£70?
Glad they finally came to their senses.
I look forward to checking it out on plus now.

Super Funny indeed
For being such a warrior you apparently don’t know dick about your beloved Xbox.
you need a live gold subscription to play games with gold. You only never needed it for 360 games..
Get the fuck out of here

I was pretty hype after the initial reveal. It looked promising. I won't say salivating, but I was definitely awaiting gameplay and considering a preorder up until nothing was shown in the weeks leading up to launch.

Right decision.
Who the fuck was buying this at launch?

I doubt that would do the game any good. It's Bleeding Edge with cars and a 80 Euro price tag. Nobody is gonna be playing or talking about this game six months after it launches.

Now I will play this game for sure

The Amiga Brotherhood
£69.99 for multiplayer only? 
Though it had single player as well?!
No wonder it's free on PS+ it's DOA otherwise.

Not a bad option. This game was being setup for disaster due to lack of coverage and the price hike on Sony's games, plus there are more interesting titles in the launch lineup that would swallow it whole, so might as well give the development team more time to polish it up and experiment with some new ideas/features and build up anticipation.

Post #10 (and many others afterward) in this thread contains the answer to this question.
There were many people clamoring for Sony to give this game out on PS Plus, so this should satisfy them now.

This game is dead either way.
Waste of money and time for everyone involved in the project.

I won't miss it at launch. I'll be too busy with Morales, Demon's Souls and Cyberpunk. And if I had to choose another game, I'd pick Sackboy.
I think it makes sense to delay it, because at launch many other people also may prefer CoD, AC, Watchdogs or FIFA. I also think it's a great fit for PS Plus, because people like me will play it there, but otherwise never would have bought this game. So it will have a way bigger userbase and who knows, maybe it ends being the next gen Rocket League / Fall Guys phenomenon due to launching in PS Plus.
