Hopefully it won't have the stupid issue it had on the PS3 where Comcast wouldn't provide HBO Go to the app.

The whole point of it is that it's not tied to a cable subscription so that's a non-issue

A PS4 release of the PS2 Max Payne 1 is up on European PSN, probably means a North American release later today: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...=GM300000_store

You tell me I didn't build that?

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
I tried to get that game to run on my old laptop, which refused and crashed after five minutes. It was a good game for its time, but I don't know if it's worth £12 today. These classics are literally the same as the old games, right? No extra gloss or anything?

Max Payne isn't as good as MP2 but it's definitely still worth buying and playing. It's a fun linear shooter.

I've got plenty of good / fun games for under 10$ (Download Only) and under 30$ (Retail / Download) from PSN sales so I don't believe they suck. :/

Actually some item sales are kicking in, looks like a Flash sale is incoming. Seems likely to be indie-themed (Curve Digital titles). Alien Isolation Collection is also on sale for 10 days.

just gonna do whatever I want to do, all the time

the PS2 port of Max Payne 1 was a shitpile so bear that in mind before purchasing. That game was designed for then-powerful PCs and iirc farmed out to a third-party studio for the console versions. The PS4 upgrades might remedy (lol) it a bit maybe but it still won't be the version to get.

So the version to not buy is live on North American PSN now:

https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/max-payne/cid=UP1004-CUSA03513_00-SLUS202300000001 (EDIT THIS SHOULD BE ON SALE FOR $6 SO MAKE SURE IT IS BEFORE BUYING)

And it's sounding like Flash Sale this weekend might be a false alarm somehow.

Happened to click on the Deals thing and there was a Flash Sale button up that's gone now. Clicked it, nothing was listed, but there was a banner that had Sleeping Dogs/Call of Duty/Beyond Two Souls and a couple of other things. Seems like it was action themed.

EDIT: And it's back, still nothing actually listed outside of movies though.

Rockstar`s PS2 games (at least the non-GTA ones) for PS4 including the just-released Max Payne should be 60% off with this flash sale, apparently, so don't buy anything until that's applied. Rogue Galaxy also.

EDIT looks like stuff is starting to settle, quite a few PS2-on-PS4 titles are on sale, Tearaway Unfolded for like 8 bucks...

I think they've had the cripple/intern who slowly incorrectly updates the PSN store for the entire time, though

Bleh. As someone who's had a PS4 for...a month, I was really hoping for some games I didn't already play on PS3 to be in this. Mad Max would have been nice :sigh:

How is Tearaway (PS4) and Little Big Planet 3? I have Tearaway on the Vita, but heard the PS4 version is way better. Also how is the Warriors port on the PSP, as that sounds like it would be a great title to have on the Vita to go.

It's technically the best version of the game but has a new translation some people dislike. It's perfectly fine as a version to get assuming you don't mind taking the 10~ minutes it takes to unlock it.

It better and worst. The resolution is smaller and they changed the VA for everyone, which is a lot better like Maria...but no more "What is a man" cheesy speech. But it also added Maria as a playable character, but she plays more like her Rondo version and not the version from the Saturn edition. Also they didn't added the Underground Garden or the other place from the Saturn version.

To clarify, the new translation is much more solid than the original script-wise, but fans of the original cheese were disappointed with this.

Also worth noting is if you're playing on Vita/PSTV the PS1 classic is your only option.

Whoops, just PSTV.

No. I bought it at $10, got maybe $1 of fun out of it. Not worth it at anything but dime store prices.

Figured it as much. After seeing the RedLetterMedia video for it, I lost all interest in the game.

One last thing, which should I get, Warriors for the PSP or Bully on the PS4. I have Warriors already on the PS3 but I rarely play that, while I have the Scholarship Edition on the PC, but that version is very janky.

Trust me, you don't want the Saturn "improvements".
