Days Gone
Step into the dirt flecked shoes of former outlaw biker Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter trying to find a reason to live in a land surrounded by death. Scavenge through abandoned settlements for equipment to craft valuable items and weapons, or take your chances with other survivors trying to eke out a living through fair trade… or more violent means. With humanity ravaged by feral creatures known as Freakers, any mistake could be your last in your attempt to carve out a new life in the hostile Pacific Northwest high-desert.
Update: Days Gone availability date revised to January 4, 2021
Days Gone is available until January 5, 2021
MediEvil
Sword swinging, perilous puzzles and enchanting environments are brought back to life in this full remake of the original PlayStation action-adventure. Step into the bones of Sir Daniel Fortesque, an inept — and long-dead — knight accidentally resurrected by the evil sorcerer Zarok, 100 years after his embarrassing demise. With the kingdom of Gallowmere under threat by Zarok’s demon hordes, only the skeletal Sir Dan stands in his way. A second chance for the toothy grinned, undead adventurer is at hand — can you defeat Zarok and grant Sir Dan the honour he lost in the flesh?
Friday the 13th
This asymmetrical multiplayer title captures the heart-pounding terror of the iconic film franchise from which it takes its inspiration. Play hunter or hunted as up to seven Camp Crystal Lake counselors strive to use the tools to survive, escape or even try to take down Jason Voorhees, the man who cannot be killed. If you are randomly selected to play the killer instead, use unique abilities to track down and terrify those unfortunate enough to cross your path!
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince
Lush, fantasy-themed 2.5D puzzle platforming awaits as three heroes must pursue a wayward prince whose nightmares are becoming monstrous reality and terrorising the lands. To overcome the very real forces of darkness, you must juggle the abilities of each hero: conjure platforms with Amadeus the Wizard, strike distance targets with thief Zoya and fend off attackers at closer range as the knight Pontius. With cooperative multiplayer available both offline and online, team up to take on the challenge ahead and save the realm.
Rad
Developed by Double Fine Productions, Rad is a 3D action rogue-like set in a post-post-apocalyptic world, where humanity has faced Armageddon not once, but twice. Playing as a teenage protagonist, you must venture into the Fallow — an ever-changing, radioactive wasteland filled with unknown and unspeakable creatures. Go grab that sweet bat and help save the world… or what’s remaining of it anyway!
Why is Days Gone a temporary game? It’s a PS exclusive that’s been out for a year and a half and sells for like $20. I’m not saying that brand new exclusives need to be on PS Now day one. But theres no reason why two year old games arent permanently added to the service.
Same goes for:
Jak & Daxter, Jak 2, Jak 3, Jak X, Ratchet & Clank Collection and Deadlocked, PS All Stars Battle Royale, Twisted Metal Black, Gran Turismo 5, 6, and Gran Turismo Sport, The Order: 1886, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Uncharted 4 & Lost Legacy, The Last of Us: Remastered, inFamous Second Son/First Light, Horizon: Zero Dawn, PaRappa The Rapper, PaRappa 2, Patapon.
This is a PLAYSTATION SERVICE. And yet there are dozens of OLD PLAYSTATION games that aren’t there. It makes no sense. Please do better.
Do you just copy and paste your reply each month?
Yeah I dunno why they do that either. They did the same thing with Horizon Zero Dawn and Spider-Man. It kinda sucks. I don’t understand it.
Not only that. But if PS Now is the only way we can play PSOne, PS2, and PS3 games next gen (which I don’t have an issue with) then you guys need to add A LOT more classic games to the service. There are over 300 PSOne and PS2 games on the PS3 PS Store. And based on the way PS Now works, any digital game that’s on the PS Store can be added to PS Now. If you worked out a deal with the publisher and what not. Beyond adding a bunch of classic games, there are a few improvements the service needs.
1. All older exclusives should be on the service permanently PS2, PS3, & most PS4
2. PS Now on more devices
3. 1080p/60fps
4. More PS4 versions of PS3 games.
5. More franchises
PS Now can be a killer app if it was treated as such.
@Alex This wasnt copy/pasted but thanks for your concern :)
It’s because PS Now is more or less of a scam. Most of the games on it are bad and wouldn’t last you 6 months. To sell subs, they put the AAA games on for 3 months and then remove them so that you are now stuck with a sub for mostly average at best games and the AAA title companies can go back to selling their games.
You have 3 solid months to play it , that’s a fair amount of time to beat that game imo
I agree. Any first-party game that is over 2 years old should be highly considered for PERMANENT inclusion.
Also, good suggestion on working out deals with publishers for older PS1/PS2/PS3 games that customers are clamoring for. There’s a virtual gold mine of games that are being ignored, I’m sure the publishers and developers would appreciate getting more eyes on their older games, and at the same time getting more greenbacks in their wallets.
I don’t get it either you would think they would want to have as much quality stuff on there as possible But they keep outdated sports games that nobody plays up.its so backwards
Days Gone, have less than 4 months to finish it. Very Doable.
@Kishnabe I already own the game. And whether ir not people can finish the game in 4 months isnt the point. The point is, PS exclusives shouldn’t be removed from the PS service. You dont see xbox removing their exclusives from GP.
Does anyone ever think there might be a reason these AAA Exclusives are only on there for a short time? Most likely they need permission from the Developer to even host them on the service.
Then the devs may want people to buy their games. So if it is on the service forever then people won’t need to buy the game. So those that do allow it only let it be on there for a short time.
