You're missing my point. They're remaking a game but splitting it into 3, so no, I don't consider it a full game considering it's only a part of the original full game. And before releasing the rest of it, they're releasing DLC for the first part at an additional cost. And people are happy about that for some reason. I don't even have an interest in it, or the original, but I think that's crappy practice. Put that time into completing the game before trying to milk more money out of it.

It's a different game to the first game, it's not even telling the same story as the original. And this first part is about as long as the whole original was.

But why this blurb then? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_Remake

"Final Fantasy VII Remake is the first in a planned series of games remaking the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII. It covers the first section of the original game, set in the metropolis Midgar; Tim Rogers of Action Button estimated that Remake covers approximately 30% of the original game's story."

Saw on reddit that someone got info from the game site that the free PS5 upgrade goes live at 5pm Irish time. Then you can buy Intermission DLC for I think 15 euro, discounted from 20. If you let your PS Plus sub lapse, you will lose access to the PS5 version and unable to play the dlc.

Look, you haven't played it, and I don't know if you've played the original, so I can't explain it to you but they're telling a different story based on the original. The first part was mostly based on the first part of the original (definitely not 30% of it) but it's going to diverge a lot from here. And the DLC tells a part of the story that will almost certainly be more relevant in the later parts, but wasn't important enough to include in the main game.

Final Fantasy VII Remake - PS5 Free upgrade is now available, 84gbs. Yuffie DLC is 15 euro, 10gb. A few free in game items on the store for it as well.

January psplus games leaked by deal labs.

Dealabs have correctly leaked the last few months of games

Dirt 5 is a nice addition. Tough to play on PS without a steering wheel. Played it on PC with wheel and pedals and it was a damn sight easier. Don’t know the other 2 at all

Mr Crispy

I only played about 8 hours of Deep Rock Galactic, but it's deadly - proper co-op fun.

The Phantom Pain

Other than Persona 5 Strikers none of these interest me and I haven't played Persona 5 Royal yet despite being in the backlog so didn't need Strikers just yet. So yeah, another crappy month for me overall if these leaks are true. My subscription ends this month and I've turned off auto renewal. I don't think I'll be turning it back on...

Potential-Monke

I was interested in DRG but reviews are that it's really not a solo players game. I have a couple of mates with a PS5 so maybe we'll get a couple of games in, as it seems fun. Already have Dirt 5. And delighted with P5Strikers, I wanted it for a while as I enjoyed what bit of P5 I played, but I just can't warm to turn based, so Strikers seemed like something I could enjoy more. So happy enough with that! Probably won't be true now.

Bought a Thrustmaster T300 RS GT on black friday,waiting for a stand to arrive in January to use it.

Happy to see dirt 5 next month if true so.

Deep Rock is something I've been tempted by aswell.

jj880

No new VR games?

WTF is this BULLSH!T

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

...

...

Persona 5 Strikers looks good though. Something different for me anyway.

Any offers going at the moment for a 12 month sub?

Dirt 5. Very nice.

Zero-Cool

Yeah looking forward to giving Dirt 5 a go. I really should try Persona 5 on the ps plus collection, see if I'm into it at all.

quokula

Already own Dirt 5. Persona 5 Strikers is something I've been waiting to get on sale so will be snapping that up. Best month in a good while for me.

EoinMcLovin

Games now available to download /add to library

jj880

Started playing dirt 5 and have it on ea play license. Seems I cant overwrite with ps plus license so will lose it next month when ea play sub runs out. Bummer.

Can you not remove the EA version from your library and then add the PS Plus version? I know they gave you the option to remove things like demos from your library but I don't know if you can remove full games.

jj880

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118415451#Comment_118415451

Seems I cant. I can hide / unhide but it keeps the ea license. No biggy. If Im still playin it near end of the month maybe i'll contact PlayStation support and see if they can change the license. Would be nice to have for multiplayer.

No, unfortunately not. I tried this before with Star Wars Battlefront 2 and had no joy with Sony. I submitted a request to Sony and the rep was massively unhelpful saying it wasn't possible

That said, I'm sure there is some way to process it and you might get a customer service rep who's helpful.

TitianGerm

Could you cancel your EA sub early and then get the PS+ version?

Damien360

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118415590#Comment_118415590

This happened previously with DriveClub. Users in this forum managed to get the license changed so they could keep the PSPlus version when it came.

I would try except my son is flat out on star wars squadrons with psvr he got for Christmas. I promised him he'd have squadrons until the end of the EA sub. I will try sony support before the end of January.

I remember thinkin at ps5 launch that it was odd games couldn't be removed from library. I thought it would be sorted by now. Hopefully soon.

Exclamation Marc

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118415689#Comment_118415689

Yeah. My suspicion is that it depends who you get when you submit the request.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118415708#Comment_118415708

Squadrons was on Plus a good few months back. You didn't already add it to your library from back then by any chance?

jj880

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118416189#Comment_118416189

Its ea license also but thats a good shout. Im gona make a list of all my games that are on ea play that were on ps plus the last 11 months and try get them all moved to ps plus 😆. If you dont ask you dont get.

whiterebel

Wouldn't do it for me either.
