My bad, Spiderman Remastered is not listed in the store as an item to buy, and that's by design. I have my theory for the reason behind that. Currently, you can only purchase it through Miles Morales (it's a in-game option for 19.99$US)

I wonder why Dino Crisis wasn't added and Resident Evil: Director's Cut is only available to purchase in some regions. It seems like there was a deal with Capcom that fell through or something.

They were briefly listed as coming to PS Plus Premium in July, as was Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny…www.videogameschronicle.com
I think there will be a lot of upgrades if they have those and more titles like that to come that really hit on the nostalgia...
That's pretty weird that it isn't listed as it's own game.
If Sony learned from Gamepass they know that you get extra visibility every time you remove a game just to include it again later.I wonder why Dino Crisis wasn't added and Resident Evil: Director's Cut is only available to purchase in some regions.

You can only get it with the Miles Morales Ultimate Edition and they never changed it to sell standalone. At least if you have Extra you can buy it to own through Miles Morales.
So turns out that Spider-Man Remastered is just Miles Morales DLC.

PS Now PS3 Classics are still missing from the PS Premium transition. Why the fuck did they take away Puppeteer?
Microsoft doesn't add anything to PS Plus, Sony pays for it. They could have payed for it now (Doubt) or before the acquisition (more likely) based on release timelines and milestones.
You're wrong, Sony can't force a publisher to put games on PS Plus or to sell them on their console. It's the publisher who decides where do they put their games they publish. And once done, later the platform holder the publisher a portion of the money made there.
In some cases, when there's an exclusivity or marketing deal then the platform holders pays them for signing that deal. And part of that deal, at least in the case of RE Village, gives Sony timed exclusivity for game subs in case Sony is interested to put them on their game sub.
Some of these games already were in PS Plus, and were removed once their contract ended and wasn't renewed (because either the platform holder or the publisher didn't want to renew it). But now they both decided to put it back. So the first time they were there maybe was because of was linked to their marketing deal, but now it's because MS wanted to do so (and Sony agreed).
Holy shit, where did I say this?
Sony are the ones in control of Plus, and they pay to have games there. Microsoft doesn't decide to have games on plus, period. And that's all I said.
In the quoted post.
Yes.
Wrong. MS is the publisher of the MS games, not Sony. MS decides in which platfloms their games are published. Sony can't decide publish Forza Horizon 5, Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring tomorrow on PS Plus if their publishers don't want to.
The publishers (in this case MS) apply to publish on a platform, and if they fit the conditions/rules/certification checklist of the platform, the platform holder (Sony in this case) greenlights them to publish it there. In the case of the game subs not all the submitted ones are included because there are a limited amount of games added every month, so the platform holder filters them, rejects some and the approves other ones, who get a slot to be included certain month.
Once the game is published, the publisher gets paid 70% of the amount paid for digital copies or DLC, and in case of game subs there are different models to choose from depending on the case.
The inconvenient truth is that PS+ Extra has a much better catalog of games than Gamepass specially when you consider you also get PS+ Essentials games.
Sony now has a cheaper service with better games despite everything and the focus on day one games is pretty much all MS has going on for them.

Damn, are you being thick on purpose? Microsoft can't unilaterally decide to put games on Plus. That's the crux of the issue. You implied they did, which is a LIE. They need Sony to put the games there, and more than likely Sony will have to pay for that (that's up to Microsoft to decide).
This is very likely a LEGACY agreement they had with Bethesda PRIOR to the acquisition based on certain milestones / timelines. Nothing more. You tried to use it as a good guy MS argument.
Of course the publisher (in this case MS/Bethesda) decides unilaterally to which platforms do they submit their own games to be published. And then the platform holder of that platform (in this case Sony) approves it or not. A plaform holder (in this case Sony) can't decide uniterally to publish a game from another publisher (in this case MS).
And yes, the platform holder pays to the publisher a percentage of what the publisher does on their platform, or in some cases for game subs a compensation for the estimated lost sales for including it there, or a certain money per hour played on their game sub. To get paid is the reason of why game companies pubilsh games, since they are companies and not charities.
Is that also part of a legacy agreement according to you? Some of these Bethesda games (maybe all, can't remember) already were in PS Plus during some time and after that they were removed from there. That would be the legacy agreement for these games, which were released in years like 2014, 2015, 2017 or 2020.
But now, time later after they were removed from PS Plus, MS decided to put them back to PS Plus. A month after they putted Minecraft Dungeons in PS Plus, a Microsoft game released on PS in 2020, 6 years after they acquired the IP.
MS decided to put more games than the ones they already have on PS Plus recently, pretty likely to use it as weapon to get the ABK acquisition approved by regulators. This is something MS wants and Sony doesn't.
MS owns Bethesda now, they are a fully owned (so controlled) subsidiary that reports to Phil Spencer, even if their games keep being pubilshed under the Zenimax/Bethesda publishing label. As such, they won't do anything against their owner/CEO's will. Same goes with Mojang or Bungie.
Yes, both Bethesda and other MS teams previously released several games on PS and PS Plus. As an example, MS added Minecraft Dungeons to PS Plus last month.

Kena is weird for me. The little I've seen the gameplay doesn't seem like my thing, but I've always kept that intrigue in the world, and stayed free of any spoilers. Not knowing any game spoilers, it seems like the kind of world I'd watch a animated series in?
