Say it loud. The truth hurts, Xbots. You'll at least have access to 4 old EA games for $4.99/month, though... :-/
@kneon
Well look...PS1 & PS2 game license holders...what money are you making from those games, anyway? SOME money is better than NO money, don't you agree?
And as far as the pricing goes, in my point of view, SONY can keep the prices it has on PSNow already, or tweak here or there, whatever. Put a $50/month unlimited access sub price, with a MINIMUM of 150 of each system, with PS1 & PS2 having 1080p/60fps (like SONY hinted). Also, those PS3 ga...
@thrust
But...DeadRabbits' avatar is GODLIKE. Beastmode Clint Eastwood, what can you do? :-D
I'm a big SONY supporter, and I've always said PSNow has big potential, but don't f*ck us, SONY. You led us all to believe that PS1 & PS2, possibly in 1080p/60fps, were being talked about coming to the PSNow service (or disc-based emulation). Honestly, as it is right now, the PSNow service is kinda sh*t. I mean, it's alright, but...you could seriously MOLLYWOP the competition and have a true must-have gaming system, if you had access to 4 generations of Playstation game...
Alright. Let's get this rolling, SONY. I need an unlimited access sub-model, and PS1 & PS2 games, SONY. I'll be ready...
"The women of the Soul series"?
Gamers love the look of the women of the Soul Calibur series. Sex sells, and 6 installments later, it's still making the doughnuts. And what...the men are fragile, innocent, non-muscular creatures, I presume? Come on, it works both ways. But...that's not what you want to focus on, right? Just that the women look like...hot-@$$ women. Too bad for you, I guess? :-/
People DO realize that there are more plans for pricing/content for PSNow, right? Like...PS1/PS2 enhanced games, and a unlimited subscription model? But..."EA Access" is a threat to PSNow? Pshyeah...*smh*
@WeAreLegion
Well, I'll tell you like this: when this and other similar nickel-and-dime subscription models gain momentum and become the norm with major publishers, I'll just save up my pennies, buy me a beefy PC, and get really comfortable with M.A.M.E., M.E.S.S., other emulators, and my 60gb PS3.
Hell, I'm almost about ready to go in that direction full-time, right now... :-/
@Volkama
Do you think EA's putting Madden 15 in the EA Access service this August? Or NBA Live 15 in October? Seriously?
Reality Check: they're only putting games in this service that are older/can't get full price money from gamers. And it's only EA games... :-/
If I had an Xbox One, I'd think to myself: "I paid $400-$500 for the system, I'm paying $60/year for Live Gold. EA Access is a good enough value to s...
Do you guys remember this?
http://www.dealspwn.com/ea-...
Obviously, it wasn't an accident. And "Early Access to new games" means paying for demoes. Not my cup of tea...
"Early Access", huh? Let's get COMPLETE/NON-BROKEN GAMES, first. And...of all publishers...EA is leading the charge of charging gamers for access to unfinished games? Pshyeah...lol.
Alright, GG. You've hired a movie director to fine-tune the storyline, you've shown art concepts that shown a futuristic-amazon setting with bright colors and big, brawly-@$$ dudes, good. And you mentioned in the past something about giant robotic dinosaurs, HELLO! Keep up the (seemingly) good work, and it would be nice to show a LITTLE something during TGS? :-/
Accurate animal movements are great. If there are vehicles, let's have that same devotion to accur...
Okay...lol. You're not getting new games (Dragon Age: Inquisition will NOT be on EA Access in 2014. Neither will Madden 15 or NBA Live 15...), and Xbox One ALREADY HAS a sub model to get unlimited access to a number of games/month (GWG). I should pay ANOTHER subscription for older EA games only?! Child, please...lol
Well, here's my thing: All next-gen consoles (excluding WiiU) & PC has a service like this, that encompasses all types of games in a subscription-based atmosphere already, INCLUDING Xbox One. Every single Dead Space has been offered to me on PS+, with UNLIMITED ACCESS. EA has kept their sports games off of Steam, but...you want to introduce a $5/month access to 4 OLDER games, while Steam (besides sports) has...ALL your games, UNLIMITED ACCESS, for sale sometimes less than an EA Acce...
Here are a couple of points people seem to not address:
1) EA originally initiated the whole "let's cut servers off after 1 year!" phenomenon, so having say, FIFA14, on this service is...pointless. That goes for Madden, NBA Live, and NHL also.
2) $5/month for access to 4 games in "The Vault". These will NOT be new games. If Dragon Age: Inquisition comes out in September for EA's sub-service, do you know how many people would opt...
Her that size/age would make a really good sequel. And honestly, I think Druckmann's kinda trolling. Maybe...just maybe...they had a sequel starring an older Ellie planned for awhile, now? Regardless, I can think of ALOT of games that don't need a sequel. This isn't one of 'em...
You guys played some *weird* games... :-/
Onimusha
The Bouncer
Urban Reign
Def Jam
Capcom vs SNK
Dead 2 Rights
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Burnout
Valkyria Chronicles
Dino Crisis
Manhunt
Virtua Fighter
ESPN NFL 2K
I know Urban Reign and The Bouncer only had one game each but...they NEED a series.
@ITPython
Yep. And they screwed us on the PS Vita, also. I got one hoping I could play my Music Unlimited songs in the background with games and guess what? Surprise! It's left up to the developers BS, again! :-/
@MegaRay
Those games were cool, it's just the spam/lies/parity issues that UbiSoft and other big publishers are feeling so comfortable shoving down our throats have come full circle, for me. I've had enough of the BS...
@GribbleGrunger
Same here, as WeAreLegion. I think I clicked on "Agree" on your original comment before I finished reading, just in case I left the page without agreeing. Don't argue with it, just accept it as LIFE. :o
