This is the announcement and it's as detail-free as possible.
Oh wow I commented here without reading the rest of the thread (shamefully) but I too got a refund for Maneater after buying it in the November sale.
That's really fucking cool and unexpected. I've put the money towards Immortals which I was wavering on.
I wouldn't have been sour about Maneater being on PS+ because I bought it for what I thought was a fair price but I hadn't started it so this is a welcome development.
One of the best months yet for sure!

One of my favorites, even with its flaws (mostly having to do with the camera and task variety), but it doesn't overstay its welcome, and I loved its humor and pop culture references. Definitely worth a playthrough and an easy 100%.
Is there a gore toggle on Maneater?
My son loves sharks (plays some iOS shark game all the time), and I'd hate for him to miss out bc of excessive gore.
Greedfall I'll add to the library but doubt I'll ever get time to play, but I reckon I can probably stomach the last of the TR reboots, despite the drop in quality between TR2013 & RotTR.

Probably before that. Most likely in time for some dlc that they can make bucks from.
AFAIK, in Maneater, you level up by eating people and fish...sooo...uhhh...yeah. Probably not for him at his age if he's young.
Yeah, that's the only consolation I have. XD
And the classic costumes too, I guess.
Spiders announced a next gen upgrade with additional content in celebration of sales hitting over a million copies.
Pirate RPG Greedfall Will Get A PS5/Xbox Series X Update With New Content
After selling 1 million copies, the popular RPG is coming to next-gen.

Not a lot of details but I assume it will have better lighting, textures, framerate. Hope it's a free upgrade.
To everyone: in case you don't know there is a free skin for Maneater, a Tiger shark skin, so get it in preparation:
Maneater: Tiger Skin Evolution
The Tiger Shark is often called the garbage disposal of the sea. Appropriately enough, this evolution allows you to digest nearly anything, increasing your ability to gain vital nutrients from all varieties of prey.

Anyone who got the alert on refunds for Maneater / Tomb Raider actually got a refund? Nothing here yet, got the alert on the PS5 yesterday. I'm in no rush, and assume it'll take them a few days, but just checking to make sure no one has actually gotten the refund.
Only way I know to check is to look at the PSN transaction history

You can still claim them for when you do get a ps5 you literally lose nothing. Jesus
First Rise and now Shadow. Guess they really want me to play some Tomb Raider.
Guess I'll actually check this one out. I really dislike the direction that the reboot took Tomb Raider in. The "cinematic" focus, seriousness, gore, and Lara herself seems to be a permanently lackluster character now. But I've heard good things regarding the actual tombs in this game. Hopefully there's some nice platforming as well.
I'll probably be skipping the cutscenes though. Based on the word of mouth, it'll be for my sanity's sake.

I was close to pulling the trigger on shadow (liked the cinematic nature of it) and man-eater looked really interesting, people do talk about greedfall, so wow nice month Sony. Just wish more devs would go back into PS4 games and patch in a PS5 enhanced mode, or perhaps Sony could go in and find a way to do it themselves, I mean just something modest above what the pro was doing - there's clearly lots of headroom. The last 2-3 months haven't been bad, I really hope they keep it up.

Must not be in the UK too I am not seeing to add it for "free"
That link is to the US store. Just Google "PlayStation Store UK" and then use the store's search function to find the game, or go to the PS+ section.
Would we be able to own Shadow of the Tomb Raider if we buy the definitive edition upgrade? I ask because the two versions look like they're treated like different games on the PS Store.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is one of the best formulaic by-the-numbers AAA games of the last gen for me. It can seem like a very minor compliment but if you're like me and quickly put off by uninspired, designed by committee, generic games, you could find yourself pleasantly surprised by this one, which takes a strong turn into a slower, less explosive and allegedly superficial but refreshing exploration-driven direction.
Thematically, the story is a big miss, but they were just as shit in both previous games, and this time there are really interesting, unusual locales/towns to roam around and people to interact with, adding a lot of charm.
There are a few major flaws but it's by far the best of the reboot trilogy IMO - just wanted to add my two cents and encourage people to try it out, as it has received a very lukewarm response at launch.
What's the consensus on Maneater's PS5 version btw? I know they were talking about RT prior to launch but does it perform well?

Is the DLC worth it? It's currently on sale for 5.99$ . I enjoyed TR 2013 and I loved rise of the tomb raider.
Yeah. The DLC tombs in Shadow are fantastic. Some of my favourite stuff in the game.
They unlock as you play through the campaign which is nice. Just totally integrated. Ie, you don't access them via a DLC menu.
Three games.
Tomb Raider (spikes through head)
Rise of the Tomb Raider (a lot of snow, Russians)
Shadow of the Tomb Raider (this one, jungle shit)
I remember a big deal being made about Maneater having 'DualSense features' or whatever...
www.resetera.com
Were they never added? It doesn't have an adaptive trigger use or dynamic haptic stuff from what I can tell. It's just binary on/off vibration exactly the same as the Xbox version. Doesn't feel any different than that version to me.
Maneater will have free next-gen upgrade for both PS5/XSX: RayTracing, 4k60FPS and Dualsense features(And more to be revealed) News

It has already been answered but yeah, absolutely. You basically get more of the best content in the game, and it integrates very well into the game, to the point where you don't know which tomb is base game-related and which is DLC.
I don't think this is for kids. After the tutorial
the antagonist of the game kills a shark and the cuts a baby shark out of her belly.
is there something wrong with maneater? no dual sense support, no hdr settings, no reflections of any kind (on the water surface), stuttery framerate...
did i download the ps4 version ? but the psn store says "ps5".
edit: well, looks like everything is correct. its just a half-assed "next-gen" patch.

Which DLCs are these? I am on the PS app now and there are a few of them but which are the ones tha are worth it?
I think the 'Definitive Edition Extra Content' is essentially the Season Pass. Gives you all the extra tombs.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition Extra Content
This DLC unlocks all of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition Content. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition experience the final chapter of Lara’s origin as she is forged into the Tomb Raider she is destined to be. Combining all seven DLC challenge tombs, weapons, outfits...

Maneater has a 16+/18+ age rating in Europe, you're eating humans who are screaming in terror, bodies getting ripped apart...this is not a game for kids.
