That's a ridiculously stupid upcoming line-up for EA Access, if not absolutely brilliant.

I nearly picked up PvsZ2 yesterday (before being denied at checkout) on the PlayStation 4. Great news for all the titles, cheers cra1gy123, heated :smiley:

Did not offer good value for money they said...thinking about the users they said.

Full of **** me thinks this could have been for the gamers too but Sony said nope hahahahahaha :sunglasses:

I'm not sure us as PlayStation owners can really complain. I mean EA Access is definitely amazing value and it's one of the two reasons I own an Xbox One, along with Games with Gold.

But let's face it, it doesn't really even come close to the amazingly valued £12.99 a month PlayStation Now with it's 230 classic PlayStation 3 games, does it? :smirk:

Typical that Unravel is included not long after I bought it. Great additions.

Wow nice couple of games there.

CoolDude0123

6 Jul 16 #11

Awesome! I've been waiting for all 3 of them to appear on it before getting EA Access again

MysticalUndies

6 Jul 16 #12

I've already got Unravel but I'm not even gutted because this EA access is amazing value for money. PvZ 2 is going to be getting downloaded. Heat added.

crazymonkey

6 Jul 16 #13

Can you sign up to EA access and have all the past games in your account OR is it like GWG and PS Plus, where you join and your game addition to your account starts from that day?

calmacuk to crazymonkey

6 Jul 16 1 #14

You get access to all of the games in the vault when you join.

mrmcdermot

6 Jul 16 #15

wow that is impressive! was gonna get unravel as well good spot op

crazymonkey

6 Jul 16 #16

Vault? Can you please elaborate? Does that mean there are some games that I've already missed?

Xbox knocking it out of the park, again.

Been holding off on EA access as I have loads of games I've not looked at, but was looking at buying unravel earlier. Think it's time to get my finger out and get EA Access again

DexMorgan

6 Jul 16 1 #21

EA Access is amazing value
I bought Unravel at launch and still haven't played it yet
Held off on PVZ2 because I had a feeling it wouldn't be long until it was in the vault
I don't think I'll buy another EA game while I have Access!

EA Access is the best sub this gen

Only got unravel yesterday, thats £7.50 down the drain wish I'd waited now.

So happy that these are both going in the Vault, both great games and worth the full price. EA Access is a must with it's line up.

I considered buying Unravel from their Ultimate Game Sale, looks like not anymore :smile:

6 Jul 16 1 #28

Ditto.
Ah well. Such is life.

Was about to post something similar. Not so much sneaky as the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing!

dave859

6 Jul 16 #30

Think the reason why EA are making the access vault look so healthy is because of sony's words of wisdom. Its was value in 2014 but now its a whole system seller.

voyager123

6 Jul 16 1 #31

absolutely amazing line up this month, put both GWG and PLUS to shame.

metalmakabre

6 Jul 16 #32

here's hoping for 64p subs from cdkeys

voyager123

6 Jul 16 #33

really its only a couple of quid for a month for all these games and you still want it cheaper. i know that the point of the site but thats just greed

hotdealsuk1973

6 Jul 16 #34

Wouldn't be too suprised to see a price increase with the EA subs its dirt cheap at the moment with all the available games Xbox should really advertise this alot more 20 pounds and you get 20 games in one purchase

Andy@XCite

6 Jul 16 #35

Wow some great additions.

haritori

6 Jul 16 #36

Almost bought Unravel today for £7.50 in the DWG, bought Trackmania Turbo instead

hotdealsuk1973

6 Jul 16 1 #37

I understand your point but its a great deal and this site is about great deals any new Xbox one owners would be foolish not to invest in a sub has some great games not for everyone very sports based but i would recommend it.

thesinstar

6 Jul 16 #38

Awesome i actually got pvz2 and really havent put in any time on it which kinda sucks. But im in for jeed for speed.

6 Jul 16 #39

I haven't even finished my 10 hour trial of NFS yet. Terrible game.

Unravel looks interesting though, I held off buying it because it had coming to EA Access before long written all over it.

I deleted my comment before you replied by the way, to avoid controversy and angry replies. But for the record, I agree.

6 Jul 16 #41

I'd rather my money be in my bank not EA's. if you you want to pay more than you need to then don't come crying to me when there's too much month left at the end of the money !!

tomwatts

6 Jul 16 1 #42

Regret paying £16 for Unravel now having not even played it... :disappointed: you win some you lose some

kevinc6784

6 Jul 16 1 #43

Don't you mean EA :smirk:. Meanwhile you can find the full HD version of these games on PS4.:stuck_out_tongue:

Coolio, I was thinking of selling the ea sub I got last year for £12 as I haven't used it yet and have over 6 months of gaming backlog to get though. Think ill keep it now.

Wow, i didn't realise it only cost £150 a year to play a load of last gen games!! What a bargain the ps4 players have!!!

dave859

6 Jul 16 #50

Maybe it would be good if they would allow people who own a ps3 game digitally to stream it for free like how ps now works. All this bull about the ps4 can't do backwards capability when they have the technology already set up.

prynolfc

6 Jul 16 #51

They should have just made the PS4 bacwards compatible like xbox though, I am a Sony fan too mate, but charging ua for games we've bought once before is a con, they're soo greedy!!

copperspock

6 Jul 16 1 #52

Are you going to be boasting about specs when the Scorpio is released :stuck_out_tongue:?

Smash41

6 Jul 16 #53

Damn, played and completed both.
NFS is very meh

Also its nice of them to add something that isn't a sports game or 360 game. Been a long time since October.

Jase87

6 Jul 16 1 #54

It's not

Streaming costs Sony money... No business is going to willingly hemorrhage money like that.

Jase87

6 Jul 16 #55

The PS4 isn't powerful enough to emulate a PS3..

I don't think people truly appreciate how complex the PS3's architecture was/is.. Sony gambled big time on the cell processor and they ended up creating a machine so complex that devs were only just starting to understand as the generation was dying.
The PS4 on the other hand is a standard x86-64 architecture that is completely different.. games would need to be redeveloped and ported over for them to work.

The only way the PS4 could have had native backwards compatibility would have been for Sony to put the PS3 inside the PS4.. Which would have significantly increased manufacturing costs and added many complications.

prynolfc

6 Jul 16 #56

they should just make the old games free to download then, and ps now offers ps3 games doesn't it?

rafalution2

7 Jul 16 #57

Great value

Should have a game where everyone has to spot the PS4 owners on Xbox deals

Battlefront will be added soon too but not Metioned weird

karlos1980

Also wrong, as a lot of frostbite engines games ( like battlefield series ) are 1600*900 on ps4.........

captainbeaky

7 Jul 16 #62

You don't need a PS4 to access PlayStation Now.

JackMcg9

Is this available on pc?

johnwillowlfc

7 Jul 16 #64

Was going to buy unravel in the sale, good job i didn't, heat added OP

kristoff1875

7 Jul 16 1 #65

Generally, and I'm not suggesting it's foolproof... But generally EA games that are in a sale come to EA Access a few weeks later...

scooter

7 Jul 16 #66

is it true EA Access Do not Require Xbox Live Gold, But You'll Need It for Multiplayer ? i still dont have PS now don`t like the look of it :disappointed:

cra1gy123

7 Jul 16 #67

Yep, Gold isn't needed unless you want to access multiplayer.

coco2007

7 Jul 16 1 #68

I almost jumped on it this week in the sale! *wipes brow*

chezybezy

7 Jul 16 #69

Any deals on ea access? Might pick it up just for pvz2, own everything else either digitally or on disc?

phoenix029

7 Jul 16 #70

I've just checked origin and it's coming there the same time. A few extra games on there as well like mass effect and sim city.

JackMcg9

7 Jul 16 #71

Wow

joanddan7

7 Jul 16 1 #72

I am tempted to get a Xbox One for the same reason.

The EA vault really is impressive and as a sports game fan that is a good start to a game collection. Plus plenty of extras to get your teeth into.

Being able to download PS3 games on a PS4 would be useless as it can't run them! PS Now essentially works by Sony running the game on an actual PS3 and then you stream the output to your PS4 (or other device). With Microsoft they can emulate a 360 on a Xbox One so no 360 is needed, with PS3 games an actual physical PS3 is needed to run the game still as the architecture is so different.

So on Xbox One you can download 360 games and run them on your X1, on PS4 you stream games running on a PS3 somewhere else, which is a lot more expensive so Sony charge for it.

Beynonator

7 Jul 16 #74

excellent. Thanks for heads up op :sunglasses:

UltimatePhoenix

7 Jul 16 #75

I thought Sony admitted it was possible but they didnt want to go that way! Can build an emulator like Microsoft did!!

zombrex

7 Jul 16 #76

I don'tknow how to take you some times buzz haha

hobsgrg

7 Jul 16 #77

No it's not possible! PS3 is so radically different that is incredibly difficult to emulate even with a powerful PC, certainly not to a state of running at even half decent frame rate.

The PS3 design is VERY hard to emulate. Effectively, its a 7 core processor, with a high speed data cache the CPU's get "fed" instructions from. Very hard to emulate this type of system, even if you had infinite processing power. And we don't by the way; the software locks you would need to prevent corruption (remember: You need to maintain the states to SEVEN CPU units, while keeping the memory state sane. NOT easy to do; one CPU gets too far ahead, bam, you corrupted memory.) kill performance.

360 is easier to do, as its architecture is more sane

dave859

7 Jul 16 #78

Never knew Sony said its was possible, that just makes the whole situation even worse. If they can do it then get it done & stop all this ps now crap. Same with their ea access boycott. I'm sick of all this For the players rubbish.

Captain HUKD

7 Jul 16 #79

Good to see some none sports games being added! I've let my Xbox Live Gold & EA Access have expire while I catch up with a few games in my backlog.

7 Jul 16 #80

Sorry was wrong

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-responds-to-xbox-one-backward-compatibility-n/1100-6428310/

But they havnt ruled it out so thats why i thought they said they can do it, they dont want to or cant be bothered

biggysilly

7 Jul 16 #81

So has the title just changed with the dates on it? I was expecting to see Plants v zombies 2. Bought the deal and activated on the xbox told my son how good a Daddy I am and I've got PvZ 2 and it's nowhere to be seen!

biggysilly

7 Jul 16 1 #82

dave859

7 Jul 16 #83

i think both Microsoft & Sony should of gone full hardware backwards compatable from the word go. when a new console comes out they seem to think collections of last gens games become obsolete but people still want to play them. Give people choice even if it means releasing a bigger sized & more expensive premium ps4/xboxone.

cra1gy123

7 Jul 16 1 #84

Title has always had the dates on it.

dave859

7 Jul 16 #85

he will still gets a 10 hour trial and if he's anything like my kids he probably be board of it by then.
