Will we see other major PlayStation Plus changes this year, besides PS3/Vita games leaving?
- Thread starter PintSizedSlasher
- Start date
Hopefully what was the bonus PS4 games we've been getting through cross-buy becomes regular additional PS4 games.
That would be an interesting idea, though it might also be doubtful that they would offer anything better than what Netflix or Prime have to offer
Ohhh, it won't be this whole movie suite.
But honestly, like 1 movie a month.
For instance, Venom. That is the PS Plus movie for the month of April. Yours to keep as long as you have PS Plus.
Or if the movie isn't high budget, 2 smaller movies.
No movies that are in theatres or recently released to dvd.
I just hope they will use the money they save on PS3/Vita games towards the budget for PS4 games. These days, most PS3/Vita owners with PS+ probably have a PS4 as well, so such a change would probably be a net win for most. If they just pocket the money they save, many people will experience a noticeable net loss instead, and people who subscribe for the games (they exist!) might be less inclined to renew their subscription.
Hopefully a price drop if no PS4 games are being added to replace the PS3/vita games. Been wanting to not resub ps plus already as the selection of "free" games Is getting worst imo.
There was pretty much no difference in offerings when the price went up from €50 to €60. That price hike was done so that the price matches Xbox Live Gold. PS Plus is a racket where Sony holds access to the internet hostage. Subscribing to this shit for the monthly games is a silly idea.
You are one of the rare subscribers that actually redeem the monthly games. Most players don't. That also makes you a more expensive customer, one that Sony likely doesn't mind losing. Someone that subscribes to play online and never redeems any of the monthly games is much more profitable for Sony because the payouts for being a monthly game is based on how many people redeem the game.
I don't think that PS+ offerings will ever go back to the ones in the PS3 era (although never say never). I am also just to weak to let it go. I've been a subscriber since the beginning and have a lot of games from there (many of those I never played) so I am afraid of losing this library. Otherwise, I would just stop. I am buying all the games I want anyway so it also annoys me when it is later a part of PS+ and discounts should not be tied behind the paywall (imagine paying subscription to have a discount at a clothes store).
I'm not playing online at all, so now I'm in a strange situation where I want to stop paying but I'm a hostage of the system so it was successful for them I guess and I think that many are in similar situation as me so that gives opportunity for raising prices without giving anything additional back.
I also don't think that we will see movies on the service as I imagine that the situation with distribution rights is complex (especially in Europe where also translation is an issue) and it would not be too attractive because of all the netflixes that already offer more things than you can watch.
I would welcome PS Now in more countries though or have PS+ changed into PS Now / Gamepass type service.

Game wise? Dunno.
But we're already getting things like free Now TV for a limited time and no joining fee gym memberships in the UK.

I hope for a monthly offering of
1 x AAA game
2 × indie games
1 x psvr game
Praying for a tiered system so i can have a discounted ps now with ps plus subscription.

I definitely would like to see more PSVR games.
I would also like to see PS2 Classics being offered up but Sony made a real dog's dinner of them in Europe, offering up 50Hz, frame repeating, stuttery messes unlike what the US gets so as a UK subscriber I would never touch them.

They got everyone by the balls. They won't loosen that grip and let you pay less.
Would love one VR game per month.

I really liked getting ps3 games on it, but hopefully it will be replaced by psvr as the "pool" of good games that can be offered on the ps3 is getting smaller.
Maybe 4 ps4 games and 1 psvr game?
Probably the offering will be more dynamic though, switching up psvr/ps4 and movies somehow. Maybe some game+movie tie-ins? MHW is getting a movie and spider-man has some movies. Personally I'm not into tv or movies but I know I'm in the minority here.
But since we have a person from PS EU here.
RunesmithCaryll when are we getting PS now in Norway? :)
Or the rest of scandinavia for that matter.. The internet infrastructure here must be perfect for it.

I would hope they'd start adding PSVR games to the service. It's essentially it's own platform and considering how early Vita and PS4 got PS+ I think it's about time PSVR starts getting games
Or maybe they could they take the humble monthly approach and publish certain indie games first on the service in addition to the regular games

Unless its cloudbased or the hardware is being subsidized (like you're leasing it), i think it would be pretty hard to imagine such solution being in place and being accepted.
We will get a PSVR2, we won't get a Vita 2. No reason not to do it.
What if they got rid of the selection of games all together and made a PSNow Lite option?
You would be paying for online and all the ps4 games currently on the Now service?

Vita came out before Plus was mandatory so most people missed the monthly games.
Hopefully we start getting 4 PS4 games per month.
Not going to happend, I know. But that is what I feel they should do for removing Vita and PS3 games.

Right now PS4 gets 4 or more games a month for PS+, some are crossbuy, others dont. Since MS offers always 4 games a month for Xbox One because of the BC, Sony need to match that offer with 4 games a month for PS4.
What i would like to see would be 2 "retail games" + 2 indies and 1 PSVR game a month.

Hey Tyfon,
Can't really pass comment unfortunately, but it's good to know there's an appetite for PS Now up in Scandinavia - I'll pass on it :)
Ha det bra!
The announcement of PSone and PS2 classics BC on the PS4 and offerings each month for them.
No, I'm not serious. Not 100%, anyway...
Just have Now access as part of the Sub. Scrap the Plus-specific monthly games, most of them appear on Now anyway.
Now is a good service but the sub pricing is too high, especially with Game Pass costing half as much and getting major new games at launch.

Yeah, I didn't expect you to be able/allowed to answer it out of nowhere ;)
In any case I'm going to give it a shot at least when it's out.
One thing will change for sure - I'll stop seeing PS Plus Vita and PS3 games get added that I've previously bought and never had a chance to play up to that point.
Other than that, they'll probably add a feature as an excuse for being able to increase the price or something. I dunno. I certainly don't expect anything good to happen :-)

It would be nice to get some sort of PS Now support with PS Plus when PS3 and Vita games end. Either one or two PS Now rentals per month or a reduced price on yearly PS Now subscriptions.
Edit: For the regions that don't have PS Now, I don't know. I don't think the PSVR library is deep enough to support monthly VR games for free. (would love to be proved wrong though)

Outside of PSVR games becoming standard (at least 1 per month) I'm not expecting any changes. The platform is over 2 years old and there's over 250 games, they should be able to do this by now. Maybe a PS+ and Now bundle as well.
Here's my dream for what PS+ becomes in March:
• Playstation Movies joins Movies Anywhere
• 1 Free Movie/month
• 1 Free PSVR game/month
• Playstation Movies joins Movies Anywhere
• 1 Free Movie/month
• 1 Free PSVR game/month
Yoshida (not Shuhei) talked about how he wanted Sony to also focus on entertainment, so perhaps a Netflix like service or just some free movies alongside the games?
Maybe they try to compete with Spotify with their own music streaming service exclusive to PS platforms?
