Can I be your mate? I want free pay-per-view fights :P

That's a good idea - just take the conversion rate and add it to the family plan. Very simple solution!

Yeah - it's kinda a glass half full situation.

If you have an existing GP sub, you can convert into a family plan (as the 'creator' of the plan). But if you have an existing GP sub, you cannot be invited into someone else's family plan.

Not yet at least - this is still in 'preview' so maybe they'll iron all that out.

@shinoff It would be cool if they would say, when you join a family plan, any existing dollar amount on your existing GP sub is put back as account credit so you can buy games etc with it.

@Crows90 PSNow does not have a family plan. No PS services have a family plan.

That was crazy quick. He'll probably get a pretty light sentence in the UK though.

Series S outselling both PS5 SKU's combined is kinda crazy. Just goes to show how much ground Sony have lost in Japan, basically wiped out.

I would love another remake of RE1. But CV first please!

Also, a new Outbreak would be awesome. They keep trying to make new innovate MP experiences when really just a new Outbreak would be fine.

If you struggle with asking people to split the bill like this guy - sure. For everyone else, it's an awesome deal.

The problem I see with the plan is, most people are stacked up with at least a year of GP, sometimes multiple years - it seems you need to let that expire before you can join a family plan.

Is that confirmed? I could see them going with the kid for a full game tbh.

@IRetro well "I talked to the devs!" is "trust me bro".

And I never said it is not very good - what I said is, if you're telling me they remade that entirely for the PS5 (which I don't believe) - then I would not be very impressed because I know ND can do a lot better than that with the PS5 - and they will - wait and see the first new/real/non-remaster game from ND on PS5 - it will blow this out of the water.

Lol that was funny to watch. Really cool that they could get a lot of the original cast back together for this.

@Crimson "If the graphics are redone from scratch it’s a Remake."

So we are in agreeance then that TLOU is a remaster.

Also, the scrutinization & complaints are self-inflicted on Sony's part - don't release the same game 3 times in under a decade at full price and people won't scrutinize it as much.

@IRetrouk Sorry, I don't follow "trust me bro" arguments. Also, the developer is hardly going to ad...

I doubt it. And we shouldn't need to rely on the modding community to overcome the issue of developers putting out cheap & nasty cash grab remasters.

@shinoff2183 It's a remaster. They haven't remade everything/the majority of things in the game.

And c'mon - there are already other PS5 games that look better than TLOU1.

But to be honest, it's irrelevant if it's a remake or remaster anyway - the key/worst part is that it's the third full price release of the same game in under a decade. Splinter Cell is 20 years old so doesn't fall into that category.

Depends. Are they just running at a higher res/framerate, upscaling textures and using existing models? If so, it's a remaster.

If they remake everything from scratch, which they would likely have to do given the game came out on PS2/Xbox in 2002 - then it is a remake.

TLOU1 remaster falls into the first category. Plus Splinter Cell is 20 years old at this point. TLOU isn't even 10 years old, and has had 3 full price releases in that period.

"Most of the 3 billion for bungie was for talent retention"

No it wasn't, lol.

All they really needed to do was remake the original with refreshed graphics. Anything else is unnecessary and likely to ruin it.

"the No. 1 player, Sony Group Corp., has made several recent acquisitions. 'So if this is about competition, let us have competition,'"

He summed it up perfectly. This purchase is pro-competitive, not anti-competitive.

Interested to see how this plays, and how scary it is. I'm not sure it'll be my kinda thing, but I'll give it a go since it's in GP.

And yet, none of what you wrote negates the fact that making VR games is a commercial risk.
