Uncharted 4's delisting is an insult to PS4 owners

 

Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy have been delisted from the PlayStation Store ahead of the release of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves remastered collection on PS5 early next year.

While Sony hasn't explicitly said the games were removed for this reason, the timing is pretty coincidental. Details of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection recently dropped, revealing how the games will utilize the power of the PS5 when the collection lands on the console on January 28, 2022.

Those who own the PS4 version of Uncharted 4 (not the PS Plus version) or The Lost Legacy can upgrade for $10 / £10 to the upgraded version.

The release of this remastered collection makes perfect sense – why wouldn't two excellent first-party PS4 games make their way to PS5/ But as soon as the PS4 versions were delisted, the whole thing started to feel a bit gross.

 

So why is it that this move from Sony feels so icky? Well, for a start, it means that PS4 owners can no longer buy the digital versions of either Uncharted 4 or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy individually. However, the Uncharted: A Thief’s End & Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Digital Bundle is still available for $39.99 / $34.99. But that means that where you could previously just pick up Uncharted 4 or The Lost Legacy for around $15.99 for PS4 on the PlayStation Store, you now need to pay at least $39.99 if you want to play even just one of these games.

Already own Uncharted 4 but not The Lost Legacy? Tough – you need to buy the bundle of both games to play the latter title, even if you don't need it. It feels like a costly penalty.

Fortunately, you can still pick up physical copies fairly cheaply, but if you want to play digital versions then you either need to purchase the Uncharted: A Thief’s End & Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Digital Bundle, or have already purchased the games individually (or picked Uncharted 4 up on PS Plus), or you need to upgrade to PS5 and get the remastered collection.

While that's a bit of a pain, that's not the most jarring part for me. Alongside the announcement of the Uncharted remastered collection's release date and enhancements, Sony announced that those who own the PS4 version of Uncharted 4 or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy could upgrade to the PS5 version for $10 / £10 – otherwise you have to pay $49.99 / £44.99 for the collection.

Shortly after that announcement, Sony removed the individual titles from the PlayStation Store, leaving only the Uncharted: A Thief’s End & Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Digital Bundle for digital purchase. So really, unless you already have one of the two games, you're being shoehorned into paying $49.99 / £44.99 to play on PS5 – no matter what way you look at it.

You can either buy the current PS4 bundle and do the $10 upgrade (that takes it to full price), or simply shell out the full price now. Whereas, if Uncharted 4 or The Lost Legacy was still available on the PlayStation Store for PS4, you could pick up one of the individual games for around $15 and then upgrade – meaning you're only spending around $25.

Dying Light 2 devs launch update, backtrack three hours later

 Dying Light 2’s recent 1.2 patch has not gone down well with fans, who are angry after the update nerfed one of the game’s best items.   Although intended as an easter egg, the Korek Charm has become beloved by players for effectively letting them bypass the game’s weapon’s degradation system. Weapons in Dying Light 2 degrade with use, requiring you to discard them and replace them with shiny new options.  While it’s possible to restore the durability of degraded weapons by equipping them with stat-boosting mods, each mod only restores a meager 50 durability points. In comparison, the beloved Korek Charm restored a massive 500 durability points, effectively making weapons unbreakable.   https://ocj.com/2018/08/4-hers-tackle-tractor-day/comment-page-4/#comment-505756 http://training.monro.com/forum/posts/m5495-soup2day#post5495 https://www.sportsnetworker.com/2016/05/24/whats-fueling-economic-growth-in-sports-business/comment-page-2/#comment-1977827 https://www....

A new Captain America means the MCU is setting itself up for the future

 In case there's one certainty that interfaces all long-running establishments it's that eventually, at least one of your driving entertainers will become inaccessible. Regardless of whether that is brought about by booking clashes or a straightforward craving to go off and attempt new things, there are a few different ways the people pulling the strings can look capable. The most clear choice is to just reevaluate and imagine nothing has changed – see Becky in Roseanne, Aunt Viv in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and various Game of Thrones characters – however that risks leaving watchers asking why a vital person has gone through revolutionary facial reproduction short-term. James Bond's makers, in the mean time, really like to make a feature getting routine of reworking British knowledge's most widespread fare like clockwork, and by and large treat it as a chance to take the establishment toward another path.  https://adwords-pt.googleblog.com/2017/12/conquistar-mais-uti...

Thor: Love and Thunder trailer delivers lightning quick tease of superpowered Jane Foster

  The first Thor: Love and Thunder trailer has finally been released – and it's a superhero, intergalactic glam rock feast for the senses. Released on Monday, April 18, the first teaser for Thor 4 provides us with our first official look at Natalie Portman's superpowered Jane Foster amid a bunch of other intriguing blink and you'll miss it moments.   Not only do we get a glimpse at Jane Foster's suped-up alter ago, aka The Mighty Thor, but we're also given a brief look at Russell Crowe's Zeus and Mount Olympus – i.e. the home of the Greek gods. There's no footage of Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher, but it's safe to assume that he'll be teased in the film's official trailer and be gunning for Zeus' head. Gorr wants to eradicate every god he finds – it's in his title, after all – so Zeus may not be around for long in Thor 4. You can bet your bottom dollar that Gorr will feature in our Marvel villains article soon enou...
