Sounds good they don't seem to be including multiplayer? Also, going to sell my PS3 versions now, don't see myself doing them all twice.

Might get 3 quid total, if you're lucky.

Personally I don't see the point of PS4 versions but at least it's all three games together so it's far less insulting than a single PS3 game redone for PS4 at $40.

Oh and there have been Dark Souls III rumours swirling, haven't checked to see if any of that was ever confirmed. I think they are trying to keep it under wraps for E3 (has that started yet? ).

Everyones probably heard. I haven't followed gaming news in ages but this looks nifty!

Does anyone know if the online for Ratchet and Clank All 4 one still works? I recently bought the game used not realizing it required an online pass, and when I check the playstation store i cannot find one for the game(well not in the US store anyway, European store has it). If the online play still works I can always see if Gamestop will let me return the game and then buy it new off somewhere like Amazon. I know i only need to get to the lobby to get the online trophies, but what i'm getting at is that if the servers for the game are down then I won't be able to do that, and it wouldn't be worth going through the trouble of getting a new copy.

Just had a quick look and the last info I can see about servers working was from about 12 months ago:

You need the pass for 2 trophies, but apparently you only need to play online for 1 (the other can be done via a 2nd controller):

For the trophy Connected (Play an online game. (2P +)
You can do this on your own if you have a 2nd controller, but you'll need the online pass. Just turn on 2 controllers, go to the online section, make your own game, choose a character with both controllers and start the game, trophy will pop soon after you're in the game! That's how I have done it! So there's no need for boosting partners if you have 2 controllers.

You'll need a 2nd controller for the Couch Potato trophy anyway: Play an offline-only game. (2P +).

[rmcin329]

I already have a 2nd controller so no worries there. Guess i'll return the game tomorrow for a refund and see about buying it new off of Amazon then.

[deadlegion]

Yeah $10 for a pass if you already bought the game.

[rmcin329]

Its so weird that I can't find that when searching the store on my PS3. It'd be quicker to just pay the $10 for the pass, but I can't buy what I can't find. I could do it through the link you provided, but then how would i actually download it on the PS3?

EDIT
When I look for the game under add ons for PS3 it simply doesn't show up. Is that the wrong place to look for the online pass?

[deadlegion]

Login online (on your pc) and purchase it. It should then be available on your download/purchase list via the store on your PS3.
That's how it usually works iirc, but honestly I've only ever added PS+ stuff via the PC and never made any real purchases.
I can't see why it would be any different...but it seems odd that you can't find it on the store via your PS3


Edit:
It does seem odd so if you think it's a risk to try the via PC purchase then just do what you were going to do...get rid of the used game and buy a new copy.

[rmcin329]

Yeah the only thing that shows up on the PS3 is rachet and clank full front assault in the add-ons section. The search function of the store cannot find the game either. Do items you've purchased but not downloaded even show up on the downloads list? There isn't an actual purchases section i can go to that i can see. I'd just being cautious here as i'd hate to buy the pass on my pc and then not be able to download it to the PS3.

No it won't be in your PS3 xmb (network/download management).
That list can only hold a limited amount of stuff anyway. So how can you track your purchase/download history?

In the store (via PS3) look on the left and scroll down to View Downloads. You can see everything there but it's just listed as you bought/grabbed them (last is first).

[rmcin329]

I decided just to grab it via the PC, got it downloaded as well, now just need to see if i can get to the online game lobby or not.

EDIT
The "connected" trophy does not work with 2 controllers. Tried hosting my own game and selecting 2 different characters with the controllers, upon getting in-game the trophy did not pop.

[deadlegion]

Well at least you sorted out the pass anyway, and now you know what to do if you come across this sort of thing in the future.

[rmcin329]

indeed. I'm still not sure how you even found it anyway. When I go to the playstation store website and search the site for it, it acts just like the playstation store on the PS3, and refuses to show the game or any add-ons for it. I only got it to work through the link you provided.

Anyone interested in the Nvidia Shield TV?





Seems way more interesting than a xbone or PS4.
