Makes me think that it's a case that Lucasfilm Games are pretty happy for all of these to make it over, and they offer up much less resistance/are more encouraging of having their classics thrown out there than a number of other companies. Ahem, Capcom. 1

Indeed. Disney/Lucasarts have certainly been supporting the PS1 side of things. Could do with getting Jedi Power Battles and Masters of Teras Kasi being put on the service. Crazy how much time has passed since the Premium service launched and we are still yet to get any substantial offerings from the likes of Capcom or Sega. Also, the lack of PS2 games on this service is just ridiculous at this point.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Played through Resistence: Retribution again to earn a double platinum. The final level trophy has glitched for many player, locking them out of the platinum. Same happened to me. Thankfully, a patch is being worked on and it should be out in week or so. I really want to start Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier but the game seems to have been released in a buggy state. I'm gonna wait until a patch or two has sorted it out. Apparently the only way to get it working properly is by changing your PS5 system language to German. Very odd glitch. 1

drahkon Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Played Skul for an hour and uninstalled it. Not for me. It's too slow and clunky

Happenstance Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I've got it on pc. Didn't get a chance to get too far into it though as it was hard to read the text on my ROG Ally and I wasn't back desktop gaming at that point. From what I did play though it had a lot of charm.
Julius Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 Tales of Kenzera: Zau is also hitting the service when it launches on April 23rd. Strong push for the service this month by the looks of things!

Patch was released yesterday evening. I had to replay a couple of levels in order for it to unlock. As well as the patch, they also added Infected Mode for free. It originally came with the special edition of the game so it was pretty nice of them to put it in this port.
Julius Posted April 10 Author Posted April 10 Games joining the catalog in April (and Animal Well in May): The original PS1 versions of Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire, and MediEvil are the Classics for this month. 1
Julius Posted April 16 Author Posted April 16 A whole bunch of games leaving the service this month, 25 in total: Quote Abzu (PS4) Adr1ft (PS4) How to Survive 2 (PS4) The Artful Escape (PS5, PS4) Ashen (PS4) Last Stop (PS5, PS4) I Am Dead (PS4, PS4) Absolver: Downfall (PS4) My Friend Pedro (PS4) The Messenger (PS4) Jotun (PS4) Sundered (PS4) World of Final Fantasy (PS4) This Is the Police (PS4) This Is the Police 2 (PS4) ELEX (PS4) Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 (PS4) Minit (PS4) Observation (PS4) Final Fantasy IX (PS4) Final Fantasy VII (PS4) Final Fantasy VIII Remastered (PS4) Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (PS4) Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition (PS4) Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster (PS4) Bunch of FF mainline titles bowing out, guess it makes sense as I suppose they wanted that impact up to and shortly after Rebirth, but still: that's one heck of a cull.

Hero-of-Time Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Finished MediEvil last night. It's ridiculous that this was added to the service when both the PS4 and PSP remakes are already part of it. There are countless other games that could have been added first. I can see why the game got a remake. Playing this version was a pretty rough experience. The controls aren't that great for a platform game and the camera was very ropey, with what little control you do have over it not being much help. Having now played all 3 versions of the game, this is easily the worst. I suppose it makes sense given that it was an early PS1 game and the other two versions were able to build upon what came before them. I'll probably go for the double plat and play through it again over the weekend. It's short enough to knock out in between playing something else. 2

Really been getting excited for the Euro's this year and FIFA wasn't on sale anywhere. I sent this on Friday. Quote You just know it's going to be free on PS+ or on a deep sale before the Euro's So anyways, I bought it. And you see what happens? Excited for Tunic though 1 2
