Mafia II: Definitive Edition

Imagine becoming a gangster in post-WWII Empire Bay, New York. Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a beautiful HD remaster of the criminal drama. Follow military hero Vito Scaletta as he joins the mob to repay his father’s debts. Discover a city full of opportunity and succeed in post-war American businesses in this Golden Age of organised crime. Join your pal, Joe, as you rise in the family hierarchy, committing harder crimes with bigger rewards and repercussions.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers

This terrifying enemy, reminiscent of Cell, Frieza, and Buu, evolves throughout the game becoming more challenging as the game progresses. Escaping will be difficult without cooperation.

Learn each Raider’s special skills to locate and catch prey and become a stronger opponent. Choose your progression route as a Raider or Survivor to gain skills, skins, and stuff to suit your survival or dominance strategy.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite

You and up to two other players or AI if you choose will explore LV-895, a mysterious planet with secrets hidden in its ruins and caves. Choose from six classes and a variety of weaponry, including magnums, SMGs, and rocket launchers, to customise your Marine. You can customise your loadout with 130+ perks. Fulfilled your dream to obliterate Xenomorphs, build your fireteam using class makeup, consumables, and weapons. Combat Prowlers, and Spitters, and set up defences to protect your fireteam long enough to stay alive and get to safety.

Besides those exciting games, PlayStation Plus members have also a special plus advantage. Sony has recently launched Pictures Core for PS5 and PS4 which offers a huge variety of recent and classic Sony Pictures films in select markets. PlayStation Plus members will receive a 15% discount on any Sony Pictures Core content purchased and rented in November starting November 1.

Leave a comment

Spooky season is upon us! With Halloween around the corner, it looks like PlayStation has some games for the occasion. These games will be available exclusively to PlayStation Plus users. The 3 games that are currently available are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, scare you or hug you like a warm cup of Pumpkin Spice.

The highlight of this month’s games is none other than the spiritual successor of the famed “Dead Space” franchise – Callisto Protocol. The game takes place 300 years in the future where you play as Jacob Lee, a man imprisoned on Jupiter’s moon: Callisto. Things couldn’t get worse, right? Wrong. Besides being an inmate, you must now survive as other inmates are transformed into gruesome abominations and find a way off the moon. But that’s not all, Callisto’s Walls hold sinister secrets that may just come to end you.

Callisto’s Protocol is definitely perfect for the spooky season with terrors at every corner. It’s even got an ambience that will leave your hair standing and jump scares that may just jolt you out of your seat. Are you ready to escape?

Weird West is a twist on the Western Cowboy era where instead of just bandits and mercenaries you share the wild frontier with dark fantasy creatures such as werewolves, curse creatures, cults and other members of the underworld.

The game offers unique gameplay with choices that will affect the players and even the world. It’s an immersive experience where your actions will affect how the characters, factions and places will react to you. Play as multiple characters throughout the gameplay and learn their origins; all while waiting for them to culminate and climax!

A little less scary than Callisto Protocol, the game still brings the spooky vibe this October. It’s got interesting graphics, creepy creatures and heart-pumping choices that will shape how it will all end.

Cloud Streaming Comes to PlayStation Plus Premium

Leave a comment

PlayStation Plus Premium is starting to make sense. Sony introduced the all-new PlayStation Plus more than a year ago, however, the service and its tiers have had a hard time enticing users to subscribe. As it stands now, PS Plus now has three tiers: essential, extra and premium (or deluxe in markets without streaming). At the very bottom is essential which offers little more than online multiplayer and free monthly games. The extra tier gives access to the Games Catalogue while Premium adds on the classics catalogue and game trials. However, that’s about to change with the introduction of game streaming to the service at its premium tier. While the service was announced a little over 12 months ago, it’s finally making its debut.

Starting this month, gamers will be able to start accessing PS5 cloud streaming. With the service kicking off, you’ll be able to play PS5 games without the need for lengthy downloads. Instead, the games will be instantly streamed from Sony’s servers. This will help in eliminating the waiting time and ensuring that you can dive into your chosen game at a moment’s notice.

Sony isn’t looking to stream games in low quality with the service. Instead, when streaming PS5 games, you can enjoy high-quality resolution options, including 4K, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p, all at up to 60 frames per second. This also includes HDR support. Sony is also bringing support for 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound and Tempest 3D Audiotech which is supposed to make game audio even more immersive.

Sony’s approach to cloud gaming is refreshingly flexible. PlayStation Plus Premium members can stream the games they own or wish to try out. While some games can be directly streamed, others can be downloaded, providing you with the choice that best suits your gaming preferences. You’ll also be able to capture up to 3 minutes of gameplay while streaming.

Here are some notable titles you’ll be able to stream or download as a PlayStation Plus Premium member: Resident Evil 4, Dead Island 2, Genshin Impact, Fall Guys, and Fortnite. Additionally, you can access game trials for various titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and The Calisto Protocol. These game trials enable you to test these titles before deciding to purchase them.

While not all games will be available at launch, Sony promises to support hundreds of PS5 titles. Some of the top PS5 hits are already in the lineup, including Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Mortal Kombat 11, and Saints Row IV. This is just the beginning, with the game catalogue set to expand significantly in the future.

Pricing & Availability: Unlocking the Future of Gaming

As mentioned earlier in the article, you have to be subscribed to PlayStation Plus Premium in supported countries to access the service. At the time of the announcement, PS Plus Premium is priced at USD$159.99 (MYR755.11) a year or USD$17.99 (MYR84.91) a month. There is also a 3-month subscription for USD$49.99 (MYR235.94).

Availability will be rolled out in phases in select markets. As of now, the service is scheduled to live in Japan on October 17, 2023, followed by Europe on October 23, 2023 and North America on October 30, 2023.

At the moment, cloud gaming through PlayStation Plus Premium will be available in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United State.
