00:00:00.588 --> 00:00:02.280
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:05.237
- PlayStation's revamped PS
plus has finally dropped.

3
00:00:05.237 --> 00:00:07.718
Starting a new era in Sony Gaming.

4
00:00:07.718 --> 00:00:08.551
(whooshing tone)

5
00:00:08.551 --> 00:00:09.717
Besides the wacky user experience

6
00:00:09.717 --> 00:00:12.852
and overly complicated subscription tiers,

7
00:00:12.852 --> 00:00:14.640
I've been enjoying the hell

8
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.123
out of all the new and old
games now at my disposal.

9
00:00:17.123 --> 00:00:19.500
Personally, I went through a sizeable gap

10
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:20.862
in my PlayStation ownership.

11
00:00:20.862 --> 00:00:23.192
I grew up with a PS1 and PS2,

12
00:00:23.192 --> 00:00:25.334
then skipped the next two consoles

13
00:00:25.334 --> 00:00:27.295
before getting my hands on a PS5.

14
00:00:27.295 --> 00:00:28.788
Now with PS plus,

15
00:00:28.788 --> 00:00:31.980
I've suddenly got a huge backlog
of PlayStation exclusives,

16
00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:33.750
just begging to be played.

17
00:00:33.750 --> 00:00:35.917
Marvel Spiderman, the Uncharted trilogy,

18
00:00:35.917 --> 00:00:37.631
the God of War trilogy,

19
00:00:37.631 --> 00:00:40.596
and literally hundreds
more games I missed out on

20
00:00:40.596 --> 00:00:43.890
are simply sitting there waiting for me.

21
00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:46.304
Sony Service has also been
great for rediscovering

22
00:00:46.304 --> 00:00:48.490
some classics of my childhood.

23
00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:52.863
Turns out Dark Cloud still
holds up and is as fun as ever.

24
00:00:54.619 --> 00:00:58.560
Jak and Daxter is as good a
platformer as any out there.

25
00:00:58.560 --> 00:00:59.640
- You talking to me?

26
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.754
- Yeah! You're talking to him?

27
00:01:01.754 --> 00:01:03.540
- Star Wars Racer Revenge

28
00:01:03.540 --> 00:01:05.513
is even more incredible than I remembered.

29
00:01:05.513 --> 00:01:07.195
(spaceships whirring)

30
00:01:07.195 --> 00:01:08.542
Here's the thing though,

31
00:01:08.542 --> 00:01:13.170
if you've been a diehard
Sony fan since PS1's release,

32
00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:15.476
this subscription may not be for you.

33
00:01:15.476 --> 00:01:16.798
- [Monster] The games are in.

34
00:01:16.798 --> 00:01:17.773
(horn blaring)

35
00:01:17.773 --> 00:01:20.829
- With a somewhat thin
catalog of older classics

36
00:01:20.829 --> 00:01:23.760
and nothing like Game
Pass' vast assortment

37
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:24.950
of day one releases,

38
00:01:24.950 --> 00:01:28.860
it's hard to justify subscribing
to any of the three tiers

39
00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:31.948
for someone with a deep history
of PlayStation ownership.

40
00:01:31.948 --> 00:01:34.614
Hopefully, Sony adds some
additional incentives

41
00:01:34.614 --> 00:01:36.402
for their devoted fans.

42
00:01:36.402 --> 00:01:38.454
However, if you're someone like me

43
00:01:38.454 --> 00:01:40.854
who has missed out on previous gens,

44
00:01:40.854 --> 00:01:43.677
PS plus represents excellent value.

45
00:01:43.677 --> 00:01:48.044
I do have one more monumental
critique for PS plus though.

46
00:01:48.044 --> 00:01:50.060
Where is Twisted Metal?

47
00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:52.267
Put Twisted Metal on PS plus!

48
00:01:52.267 --> 00:01:53.985
Do it, you cowards.

49
00:01:53.985 --> 00:01:56.810
I know you're hiding Sweet
Tooth somewhere, Sony.

50
00:01:56.810 --> 00:01:59.660
Anyways, how are you
feeling about PS plus?

00:01:59.660 --> 00:02:01.484
