Several PlayStation exclusives are leaving PS Plus on PlayStation 5 soon | VGC

Two exclusive PS3 classics are being removed from the service…

"Sony has confirmed that Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2, and Infamous: Second Son are all being taken off the platform. This is especially surprising for titles like the Resistance games, as PlayStation Plus is the only way to play them on modern platforms."

 

[Bartski]

 

[Kerotan]

The only surprising removals is resistance 1/2 so soon after they were added especially as the ps3 steaming games take effort to add.

Could suggest a resistance collection remaster in the works.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

I expect Playstation and Xbox to keep their exclusives on their services at all times. Hard to make sense of this.

[DeepEnigma]

Incoming remasters.

 

[StereoVsn]

I don't get it. "But why"?

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Isn't Resistance PS3 streaming-only?

 

[adamsapple]

Isn't Resistance PS3 streaming-only?

Correct.

Infamous Second Son also leaving.

Looks like multiple remasters are incoming.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I don't know about Resistance, maybe it's getting a remake but Infamous is definitely getting a remaster, $10 upgrade since that's mostly what Sony does now.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Same reason why Disney used to vault their content. To increase demand at a later date.

Could mean remasters as others have mentioned too though. Sony is running out of PS4 titles to remaster.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Remasters incoming. Exactamundo.

Edit: or full remakes, but something's coming

 

[Mr Moose]

A, Remasters?
B, Not enough people are playing them to keep them up.

 

[Kerotan]

I don't know about Resistance, maybe it's getting a remake but Infamous is definitely getting a remaster, $10 upgrade since that's mostly what Sony does now.

Didn't think about that. An infamous remaster at 4k and unlocked Frame rate would do good and be future proofed for ps6.

Yeah I'm torn between which reason here. Both are valid.

 

[FalconPunch]

Remasters loading...

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The only thing that makes sense? Remasters.

Every time Sony did this that was the reason. They removed the first Horizon for the remake, etc...

So...i wouldn't be surprised if we're getting a trilogy remaster for both Infamous and Resistance.

 

[Portugeezer]

The 10 people steaming Resistance games weren't worth the cost

 

[LordCBH]

Resistance leaving? Remaster collection incoming maybe?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Yeah I'm torn between which reason here. Both are valid.

I expect a showcase or state of play in May or early June, so maybe it'll become more clear then.

The best one, R3, is not on the removal list. Which would mean it won't be a remaster trilogy.

Resistance 3 was never even available in the first place.

Aren't these first party games? Why would they get rid of these?

 

[adamsapple]

To sell them to you again at MSRP duh ..

 

[Cakeboxer]

Smells like more Remasters.

 

[Fbh]

Sony is finally struggling to come up with new ways to re-release TLOU and Horizon, so they've had to start looking at other games for their remasters.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

It is the Sony Remaster System.

 

[graywolf323]

remasters of both would make me incredibly happy

 

[viveks86]

Fuck reasonable responses. This thread needs some stupidity....

Insomniac is being shutdown y'all! Fuck you Playstation!!!!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Resistance 3 was never even available in the first place.

You were able to stream it before??!!

That must have been removed first then, if it's no longer there.

Or maybe I'm thinking when it was PSNow, prior?

 

[March Climber]

Will they actually put in the budget for remastering or will the Resistance games be a 'PS Classic' style of release?

 

[Loomy]

I wonder if there's licensed work in any of those games that they're not seeing a good enough return on?

 

[DeepEnigma]

They own the IPs.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

My guess would be a PS3 emulator might be taking shape more so than actual remasters.

So it would make sense to get these off of streaming and eventually shut down the PS3 server blades.

 

[nial]

I don't think this means anything other tham Sony being weird.
I don't see a PS3 emulator coming out until PS6 is out in the market, so we would see PS3 games as PS5 and PS6 SKUs (like PS1/PS2/PSP games being PS4 and PS5 SKUs).

 

[kevboard]

it's not like anyone should actually play these games like this... get a PS3 or emulate them .. but still, this is hilariously stupid ngl

 

[hemo memo]

Remasters are coming:

Resistance: The Hale Saga (1,2)
Resistance: Final Stand (3)
inFAMOUS: Second Son Definitive Edition

 

[adamsapple]

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. There's no way to 'buy' Resistance 1 and 2 on the PS5?

The only way one would have been able to access them was via PS Plus's Cloud Streaming?

 

[Loomy]

They own the IPs.

Yeah but I'm wondering if there's any licensed music, for example, in those games that makes it so they have restrictions on how long they can have it on PS Plus for.

I hope I'm wrong and it is because there are remasters in the works, but that's a lot of games to remaster for a studio who has grown comfortable moving at the speed of syrup.

Music is all original and there is no real world IP artwork in the game.

Remasters doth cometh.

Then 2024 2025 will be, unironically, one of the most hilarious years for game releases.

 

[bellome]

I was 1 of them, where are the other 9 fools?

 

[Topher]

I really hope they port the Resistance trilogy to PC. Just do not like first person on console.

 

[adamsapple]

I'm assuming you meant 2025?

 

[Loomy]

I'm assuming you meant 2025?

Fuck me....yes...wtf is time anymore?

 

[QLQ]

Weird. Why remove the Resistance games only available through streaming on Premium...and Infamous SS. Odd.

 

[UltimaKilo]

I really hope it's an indication of impending remasters, otherwise this is another baffling move by Sony. This is their worst generation, by far.

Where the fuck is SOCOM, Sony?! ;___;

 

[The_Observer]

Second Son is a terrific game and I really miss that era of Snoy games. I heard it runs and plays awesome on the PS5, so I must urge people who haven't played it to give it a shot.

I daresay, Infamous Second Son is one of the best Playstation games ever made. It's one of the best games of lastgen IMO. It's one thing that it was the first game where I said 'yeah, nextgen has arrived", but it had such a unique setting and mood that not many games could capture. If you are a 90's kid I guarantee you will like it. I can't recommend it enough. I would even sacrifice Ghost of Yotei for a Second Son 2. And also, I didn't like the first 2 Infamous games, so this says something, I think.

 

[Jigsaah]

I own it and never finished it. I'm guessing I got distracted with other games on PS4 or Xbox. I also wasn't crazy about the first two games though I did finish them.
