This is also I believe the first time ever that a game has been day one on PlayStation Now. I hope this is a trend that continues.

With Xbox starting to do it more with third-party games I'm thinking it will be.

I've been seeing rumors about this coming out and I cannot wait. I loved the VF series, and this was the one thing that made me hesitate getting rid of my PS3. Apparently they had VF5 fully playable inside one of the Yakuza games, but :effort: .

I don't understand... is that a PS4 version of VF 5, some kind of emulation of the PS3, something else? What I mean is: can I buy it and play on the PS4 without the help of PS+?

I've bought Yakuza 6 to play VF5, lol, I'll buy it again if it's possible

It's VF5FS, with some tweaks mostly to graphics (they swapped out the renderer from Renderware to that of the Dragon Engine), for PS4. You can just buy it yeah.

I haven’t played a Virtua Fighter game since the original in the arcades so this is a fun PS+ for me. I love the ones I would never buy for myself but would enjoy giving a try.

for PS4 games, maybe. I'd be surprised if any PS5 games get any kind of sizeable discount before this holiday season or something.

Two questions:
If I enjoyed the first PS4 Spiderman game, will Miles Morales be of equal or better quality?

Also, I was having a look at a jrpg to play and saw that Dragon Quest XI have gotten an upgrade. Is it more plot stuff or what?

Yes to both.

Miles Morales is a shorter but slight twist on the original but just as good, maybe better. It streamlines the experience quite a lot and it definitely feels like an expansion rather than a sequel but it's still very fun!

DQXI S is a much better version of DQXI, but there's no way to transfer your save file between them. I can't remember if there's much extra content, but it's worth it for 60fps, orchestral music instead of horrible midis, faster battles and the ability to play the entire game with 16-bit graphics. The 2D mode does have some extra endgame content.

The lighting and character models are slightly downgraded because it's based off the Switch version, but it's hard to notice unless you're looking at footage side-by-side. If you get it on PC you can tweak it to be closer to the original version.

Worth noting is also that the S version replaces the normal one on the store, so you can't choose either way (unless on a disc, of course).

Edit: also, you can't upgrade/update to the S version (even by paying), you have to buy it even if you have the older one.

So, technically the game is basically both an upgrade and downgrade?

Its a switch port that has more content and better music but looks like an upscaled handheld game

To me, it's a full upgrade. The graphical downgrades are pretty minor and it runs at a higher framerate and resolution on PS4 and PS4 Pro. On base PS4, DQXI is 900p30 and DQXIS is 1080p60.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdm4pB-1Dlc

This shows what DQXIS looks like on the Switch, so the PS4/PC versions will be like this but much higher resolution.

Oooooooooooh!

I started DQXI on the PS4, didn't finish, then they released the Switch version, so I jumped over there and restarted.
I think I'll stay on the Switch version, since it's cool to have it handheld for grinding purposes while I'm doing other things.

I thought the Switch version looked excellent. The art-style looks really really good.
