The Old Sony Megathread

[Maxx]

Hey good news, instead of prioritizing work on the next part of the FF7 Remake we instead made a spinoff featuring Yuffie and some new character!

[Bobfoc]

And you need a PS5 to play it.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Kena Bridge of Spirits is out in August now, not March, and the April PS5 freebie is the new Oddworld game. No mention of the March PS+ games at all.

[Your Mom]

I forgot about this. Was there anything good? Like did they announce you don't have to be a literal wizard to find a PS5 in the wild?

[GoGo Yubari]

we gave Tetsuya Nomura an inch and he's taking a mile

Nothing special. Everything shown had already been announced, and the vast majority of them will be on PS4 as well. There was no word on PS5 stock. With processors being scarce, they're likely to be difficult to find for a good few months at least.

I'm totally ok with the FF7R DLC + upgrade. I was looking for an excuse to replay it. And that's the excuse I need!

[GoGo Yubari]

Sifu was the intriguing new thing to me. Otherwise it was either "oh, more FF7R content, don't mind if I do" or "yes, I still want to buy Deathloop."

This is a PS5 thing right?

It looks like it. PS4 owners of the game get a free upgrade, so it's at least something I'd already have if I picked up a PS5 years from now.

[Ruki]

Yeah, looks like you can get it after upgrading to the PS5 version. 

[Your Mom]

Well something to look forward to in 5 years I guess  

[gunnar hendershow]

Of course since this is a Nomura project you'll have to pick up the mobile games in order to actually get the whole story. That guy...

[tristy]

There’s been multiple PS5 drops on Best Buy and GameStop, and at least two queues on PS Direct, this week. Scalpers are still picking them up like crazy but it’s not like retailers have just stopped putting them up for sale either.

[DavidMarrio]

Scalpers and touts are scum.

[tristy]

I mean, yeah.

Also, here's your PS+ free games for March:

• Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4/PS5 - but not eligible for the PS5 upgrade)
• Maquette (PS5)
• Farpoint (PSVR)
• Remnant: From the Ashes (PS4/PS5)

[LL!]

I was ready to get upset about the FF7R inclusion as I have spent far too much money on FF7 over the years, but seeing that I get a free PS5 upgrade makes me feel better. 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Ignore.

[tristy]

Pretty sure this doesn't include PS5 owners, since you can't do it on there (and was one of my biggest complaints about the new console, which makes sense now that this has come out) - but, come August 31st, you'll no longer be able to rent/buy movies or TV shows in the PS Store. Everything you've bought previously will still be watchable, however.

[LL!]

Yeah, that's kinda shitty for people who rely on the system to be their main entertainment hub. I did it for years before deciding to switch to a Chromecast because that way I can keep the settings on my TV the same for each HDMI port.
