Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 68: Sizing Up PlayStation's "Game Pass"

Oh, and LGR!

Angel DeJesus

Hey guys. So this is the second episode of yours that I'm listening to, cuz I am a Sony gamer. But I think you guys were real fair here. Right now I'm going for extra. I feel like the classic stuff will be rough. I want crisis core and force unleashed. But I don't see Sony getting stuff like crash, cuz Microsoft/Activision. Square is doing remasters and remakes, so they won't participate too much. Then you got Konami collections. Capcom with RE remakes and their fighter collections. Anyway, great job, keep up the good work

Just for clarification, if you pay yearly, PS plus premium comes out to about $10.

I have so much to play with gamepass I don't think I would have enough time to get my value out of another service.

This service would be more interesting to me if Sony made some kind of guarantee like "all first party games come to the service on their 1-year anniversary" or something similar. Or maybe "yeah you don't get the first party game but all DLC is day one". Idk it's just weird subbing for an entire year without any ideas or expectations for what is coming and when.

I think the offerings in the service is good, particularly for people who are new to the PlayStation ecosystem. With everything going on with Xbox recently including DRM-gate, Delay-gate, Xbox ambassador gate, I can see some Xbox casuals/disgruntled gamers and new gamers flocking to Sony's ecosystem now.

In terms of the "paper wars," I think Steep also recently left GP or is leaving soon... further contributes to that idea I suppose

I'm satisfied enough with what's going to be available, especially since they made it clear it was only some of the games. Plus other deals like Ubisoft+ and maybe some other cool stuff. I'm looking forward to it.

As an avid PlayStation player besides infamous nothing really interests me, I’ll wait till the first refresh before deciding

I don’t think PS fans need to brace themselves for Sony to undeliver some months. We’ve been conditioned with Sony almost exclusively doing that with the monthly games, at least for me. Besides the first party PS4/PS5 games we’re getting, some of which I own, this is a huge disappointment. I’m most excited to try out a couple first/second party games, but moreso Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which I missed. I haven’t played an AC since Brotherhood, and I totally skipped the Far Cry series since 2.

Just for this week due to a scheduling conflict.

Is SS+ moved to Wednesdays now?

Vinny Pepperoni

It's probably because most people buy monthly when it comes to these subscriptions

Something Is Rising And It's Not The Shield Hero

Great content as always. However, I think it's a bit misleading to constantly present the monthly price. Yes, PS+ Extra is $15 a month...if you only buy one month. It's $8.33 if you purchase a year. That's a vastly stronger value proposition than at $15.

Can't wait to hear your takes on this!
