Can’t tell from that article what is on cheaper essential plan. Can anyone advise?

Yeah, blog lacks that info (unless I'm missing out) but they should really make it clearer for the different subs. PS UK Facebook shows that all games are available on PS Extra with the 2 classic games only available on Premium.

Essential gets the monthly games which were already released, Crash, man of medan and some other bag of shyte.

Nice one on Final Fantasy VII! I finished it on the PS4, but would love to get the rest of the side quests and the DLC.

I started played Returnal - it looks amazing, but not sure if I can be bothered with the gameplay loop. It gave me great Metroid vibes though, and would love it if it was a more traditional type single player game.

Ya, spent a couple of hours at Returnal and just wasn't feeling it so have deleted. Restarted God of War at the weekend ahead of Ragnorak, stunning game.

Jordan 199 · 19-07-2022 01:52PM

Assassin's Creed Black Flag is best played with rum 🙂

bmorrissey · 19-07-2022 01:54PM

Whats the situation with more games being added to the list for download? Is it sporadically or is it set that every month will add more?

PS+ Extra subscribers who already own FFVII Remake cannot redeem or download FFVII Integrade PS5 or the DLC.

Typical Sony

Zero-Cool · 19-07-2022 01:57PM

Yupp, i had that problem this morning but figured out was because i already bought the dlc to go with the ps5 version they have free previously. That whole ps5 release/upgrade was a mess.

Found this

Sony will refresh its new PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium tiers on a monthly basis, adding in new PS5, PS4, PS3, PS1, and PSP games regularly. While the usual PS Plus Essential update will still take place at the beginning of each month, the two more expensive tiers will be refreshed in the middle of the month. This way, if you subscribe to either PS Plus Extra or PS Plus Premium, the service is updated for you every two weeks.

Sony clarifies that "the number of games refreshed will vary per month", with some also leaving the service

Thank you very much.

EoinMcLovin · 27-07-2022 10:52AM

Next month's games leaked once again by Deal labs so we know this is true

PS+ Essential] Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Little Nightmares available on PS5 & PS4

johnny_ultimate · 27-07-2022 10:57AM

Incredible line-up if accurate. THPS 1+2 is perhaps the best remaster/remake of recent times, and Yakuza: Like A Dragon is IMO the best game in an already excellent series.

Deallabs has leaked the correct lineup for months so I'd say it's correct

Kimbot · 27-07-2022 11:18AM

Dam I only bought THPS a few months ago but its a fantastic game. Brings me back to the originals and the hours I used to put into them.

Zero-Cool · 27-07-2022 11:35AM

Jeebus Christ, what a line up! I really wanted to get the THPS 5 version bit didn't want to give Craptivision more money after killing the series. I also really wanted to try Like a Dragon again to see if I could get back into it. Heard Little Nightmares is a nice little indie game also. Incredible lineup.

Good deal here too as the version with the PS5 upgrades costs more than the base PS4 version.

Jordan 199 · 27-07-2022 12:25PM

I didn't play a Yakuza game in a long time. Like a Dragon might pull me back in.

CastorTroy · 27-07-2022 12:52PM

Just checked against the Extra/Premium games. Little Nightmares is there. The other 2 aren't.

I enjoyed Little Nightmares and still need to play the sequel. Would be another one in the vein of Inside and Limbo.

Kimbot · 27-07-2022 01:22PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119393420#Comment_119393420

Yeah I bought the dual version for 20 quid at the time so it wasn't a bad deal

Zero-Cool · 27-07-2022 04:38PM

And it's official, very nice!

Yakuza: Like a Dragon joins the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup in August. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members can begin Kazuma Kiryu’s epic journey through the criminal underworld with Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 when the titles launch as part of the August Game Catalog lineup.

Then later this year, for Extra and Premium members, Kiryu’s story concludes with Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered, Yakuza 5 Remastered and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life.

Zero-Cool · 27-07-2022 04:52PM

Awesome!!! Gimme all the Majima!!

Revoker88 · 27-07-2022 05:37PM

Have Tony Hawks but good month.

If someone wanted to start out with the yakuza series which would be the best game to begin with in people's opinions?

Yakuza 0 is a great place to start.

Inside is one of my favourite games. Little Nightmares looks similar and with great reviews. Excellent.

johnny_ultimate · 27-07-2022 05:51PM

Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Yakuza 0 are both good places to start.

Like A Dragon has a whole new cast of characters (with cameos from older ones) and basically hits the refresh button on the whole series' increasingly convoluted narrative. Its protagonist Ichiban is IMO a massive improvement over the previous protagonist Kiryu - a real loveable goofball, with a great supporting cast too. The only thing is that its turn-based JRPG combat is probably not as accessible as the brawling of the previous games, and not as refined as the brawling got after nearly a dozen games. It'd be my pick of the bunch though.

Yakuza 0, meanwhile, is probably the moment when the developers first hit the perfect balance between serious and silly in the main series. As a prequel it's also more accessible than the labyrinthine plot of the other main series games. It has aged a tad more than Like A Dragon graphically, but TBH it's a series that has taken only modest technological steps forward since the PS2 days! It's generally more representative of the other games in the series than LaD, set largely in the series mainstay setting Kamurocho (although also features Osaka prominently). As said, the real-time combat may be a better option if you're not into turn-based fighting.

Do be prepared for the series quirks whatever one you choose, though. The cutscenes often drag on for aaaggggeesss, all the games are very slow to start, often very long, and the plots are usually melodramatic nonsense. You're here for the characters, world-building, minigames, ludicrous subquests, and the incredibly accurate portrayal of Japanese cities. I'd also caution that the open worlds are much smaller and less dynamic than you'd expect in western games too... but that's a good thing for the most part :P
