The normal offering should cover :
2 PS4 games.
2 PS3 games.
2 PSVita games.

However, when there are cross buys titles some amount of mix & match applies which is still acceptable.

For this month, the offerings over the platforms are totally screwed.

Why the heck Asia PS+ put Tokyo Jungle again as a free title ?
It was offered before around Jan 2015.

They did this with Spelunky earlier this year.

Haha.  Is that sarcasm? I really cannot tell. 

Hmm, xenosaga is very story driven.

Not much difference if u really want to compare with The Order I guess.

Not sarcasm, just curiosity.

I've completed The Order : 1886 early this month, and did finish Xenosaga EP1 on PS2 a long time ago.
I didn't recall very long cut scenes when I played Xenosaga EP1 at that time.

Not sure about EP2 & EP3 since I didn't play them at all.

It is not your system.

The game is reported to be glitchy.

It crashed 3 times during my complete gameplay.

How come the Hitman forces us to download like the Steep?

Can I uninstall them ? Will it still retain in my library?

SIE Inc will take over SIE Hong Kong on 1 Apr 2019 for PSN.
Also, SIE Inc new CEO Jim Ryan will replace John Kodera on 1 Apr 2019 too.

https://www.sie.com/en/corporate/release/2019/190212.html

What will the future of PSN hold ?

I just hope the stupid censoring of JP games to stop and revert to previous policy.

Unfortunately, it is not possible for your intended scenario, mate.

Game sharing, by Sony, is only applicable for 1x console, or to be more specific, 1x primary account on 1x console, and not more. It means multiple accounts can be set up on 1x console, and these secondary users can share and enjoy the games purchased on the primary account activated on the same console.

However, in your intended scenario, which involves 2x separate consoles; in order for your brother to enjoy the games that you have purchased, your account will need to be set up as the primary account on his console but doing so, will result in you losing access to your own games on your own console, as primary account can only be activated on 1x console, not 2x separate consoles.

False.
You can play your own content if you login your profile on any PS4 console, even without making your PSN account as the primary account on any PS4 console.
This does not apply to PS3 & PSVita as you need to activate the hardware on your PSN account.

QUOTE(iGamer @ Jun 7 2019, 08:37 AM)
I think LegendLee show us how to do it. When using own console, we log in as secondary account, while my bro console is my primary account console, my own console is set with bro account as the primary account. sweat.gif
*
Correct.
You set your PSN account as primary on your brothers console so that all users on your brothers console can use your content.
Then your brother must set his PSN account as primary on your console, so that all users on your console can play his content.
You are still able to use your own content if you login your profile as usual on your console.

Making an account primary on a PS4 console means you are allowing ALL users on this specific console to use that primary account's content.
Otherwise you will see the account owner's game icons "Start" has a padlock icon beside it, if it is not primary while you are logged on as other users.

Awesome.
I'm not a sports fan.

I kind of hold of buying Detroit as PS Plus previously gave Heavy Rain & Beyond Two Souls, so I kind of guess they will make Detroit a free game too someday.

The PS Store web version is epic fail.
Go to PS Plus section, still not updated & showing Oct free games.
Click on the "Get Games" nothing happens.

Use the smartphone app, go to PS Store and tap on the PS Plus button it will open a browser to the web version.

Suppose to tap on the "Subscriptions" tab instead.

Go into the tab, at least it show the new PS Plus Monthly Games list.

Tap on 1 of the game, there is no add to cart option; just Purchase.
Tap Purchase, then have to enter the security password if you set it before in your profile.

After that have to repeat this Purchase steps for each of the free games.

Previously checking out using the cart don't have to go through so much trouble.

EPIC FAIL!!!

Playful New Year sales is up

The PSN plus promotion has 2 types?

RM 119 = 12 months
RM 159 = 12 + 3 free months ?
*
RM 119 / 12 = RM 9.92 per month
RM 159 / 15 = RM 10.60 per month


RM 119 is better deal.

Just curious.
Is it possible to download control (ps4 version) with a ps5 then upgrade it? For me it seems to auto default to the ps5 version.

Coz I plan to use a trainer on the PS4 save and you can only export PS4 saves. As to why a trainer, I’ve nearly completed the game on another console. So I just want all my skills again.
*
The PS4 to PS5 games "upgrade" in this sense, is to allow downloads entitlement for "next-gen version" of the game whether free or paid.
The next-gen versions should be treated as a separate software. (Usually different software SKU & trophies list too)

It does not mean the PS4 save files can be automatically used in the next-gen version of the software.
The game developers are the ones that need to code in the support of using the older save files.

Some games have built in compatibility due to the same game engine used for both game softwares.

Some developers coded in methods to search and detect save files within the same machine/console storage and then import & convert it to new save files to be used for the game.
(Previous gen examples : PS4 Monster Hunter World to PS4 Monster Hunter World : Iceborne expansion, PS3 White Knight Chronicles to PS3 White Knight Chronicles 2)

Others developer offer uploading game saves to cloud storage in the title menu and then in the next-gen version title menu, you manually download the cloud storage saves of the older version; and then import & maybe perform internal conversion to be used for the game.
This method has already seen its use for cross-platform saves compatible games.
(Previous gen examples : PSVita Ragnarok Odyssey to PSVita Ragnarok Odyssey ACE maybe PS3 version too, PS3 & PSVita Jet Set Radio, PSVita PS3 PS4 Rogue Legacy)


As for PS4 Control game saves, the developer Remedy has stated that it is not compatible to be used in next-gen versions due to differences in game engines used :

Xbox backward compatibility is done best, Sony should have learn from Xbox way of doing backward compatibility. They can even play on old gen and next gen at the same time with the save file auto update on both consoles.
*
XBox games are x86 based Windows platform architecture software, not a fair comparison because they operate just like a Windows PC.
Sony is not using Windows platform.

There is a Youtuber that says it is great to play XBox360's Fable II in XBox One or Series X with enhancements while using the same save files, not like Playstation consoles which can't do this. (Did he know about platform difference ?)

Same thing like I just proudly declare my PC version Fable II game looks and runs better in current gen 2020 Ryzen PC with RTX 3060 Ti compared to the Pentium III with GeForce 2 MX440 I used previously in year 2000 ?
I'm using the same saves files too, so good job Microsoft for Windows platform compatibility ? <--- Duh. Lame pride.


It just means the same software codes are just being processed and outputted differently on the newer console, while the actual software is unchanged.

Sony don't have the time, resources or familiarity with x86 architecture to do this and since they are not using Windows based platform, decided to isolate the execution :
If want to run PS4 games, it will run 100% in legacy mode.
If want to run PS4 Pro games, it will run 100% in Pro legacy mode.
If want to run PS5 games, it will run 100% in native mode.
Each game developers are the ones to figure out how to cross over this isolation wall for their own games.

As mentioned in my edited response above, XBox is using Windows platform architecture.

Sony doesn't, so they can't.
