you can’t upgrade it at all :eyepop: that’s so weird. Why wouldn’t they want more money.
I guess they get money if you buy the ps5 version fully?? I’m not sure. It just sounds like a mess of digital licenses at that point

Licensing is the most likely explanation. SE definitely wants to sell PS5 versions and they kind of have a history of...let us say, 20.99 FFIX.

What about giving away a game for free, and letting them upgrade same game to new console, for free, gives them more money?

What about that situation generates money for Square-Enix? They will get the money (either as lump sum or per download) from the ps+ PS4 version, but then letting those people upgrade to PS5 at no cost eats into whatever it costed to upgrade to PS5.

If you bought FF7 remake you get the upgrade for free to PS5 but have to pay for the new DLC story.

Edit: unless you sold your copy, which, time to rebuy then.

I’m not saying let them upgrade it at no cost. You can’t upgrade this edition at all. Which is the first line of what you quoted

Is there even a game out there that has a “upgrade to the PS5 version for X dollar” out there?

If not, maybe Sony’s backend just won’t let them do it? If so, well, they figured they sell more copies of the game and wasn’t worth the hassle of doing that considering that you can probably find it discounted a lot these days.

Seems like it would be a good upsell. As in “You can get the PS4 version with PS+ and then if you want the upgrade you pay €20 (or whatever). “

They would absolutely make more money this way than trying to bully PS5 owners into rebuying a game you literally just gave them for free. This seems, like, uniquely designed to prey on whales.

Wow I forgot all about how the narrative lead was just fired from Bloodlines 2 last year with no warning. And it had Chris Avellone working on it. That project is cursed.

The whole loving IP is cursed - this round it literally was such an edgelord trash fire that it caused an international incident, and likely got the last Paradox CEO kicked upstairs to the board before his fanboyism caused another shitshow.

I think it's incorrectly worded. I think you'll be able to buy the PS5 version no problem, but would be expected to pay full price for it or whatever.

I'm going to try to finish up Trails of Cold Steel 2 this weekend (good game), but LOL at FF7R being the PS+ game, I had bought it physical disc during a winter sale and I planned on playing it next!

Do we know if save data from FF7R will get used for Part 2 whenever it comes out?

"Maquette" is the French word for mock-up or model (like a tiny model building you'd make as an architect or similar).

And here I thought "finally, a month where nobody can complain about the PS+ offerings", yet here we are.

I own both 7R and Remnant so this is literally a blank month for me. I don't own a PS5 so Maquette is also a blank space.

Farpoint, do you need the move controller for it? It had that gun attachment right? If you could play this with controller it will be the only new thing for me, otherwise it is 0/4

It's playable with the DS4, but you'll lose some ~presence~ because with the Aim your real hands and virtual hands are in the exact same places

The Aim isn't an attachment, it's an entirely new controller

Oh. Well it looks like all the new versions of the aim controller come bundled with farpoint, used aims are going for $50 (and I assume will go up with an uptick in demand) and the list of other Aim compatible games looks like a pile of dire garbage so lol

I played through 7R last year, and have no intention of picking it up again. I'm just amazed that it's being offered at all, and that it's free for new players who have been waiting to give it a shot. Happy for the gamers that do get to enjoy probably one of the best PS+ offerings to date.

I like Firewall a lot but yeah it's literally the only other game that I used my aim controller with. Probably not enough to justify a purchase. PSVR is really overpriced for what you get vs. other VR kits right now
