My interest for God of War Ragnarök has returned!
Hey look! The PC holdouts who refused to budge on PSN requirements are getting what they want!
Good job, I honestly thought Sony would be too stubborn to change. They must want more money on PC.
I wonder if this’ll still be restricted to only PSN markets, since the account is optional.
However, to incentivize you to still sign in with a PSN account while playing those games, Sony says that it will “soon” be adding “in-game content unlocks” like outfits and resources. You can see the full list of bonuses in Sony’s blog post about the news
Game Bribe Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Early unlock suits: the Spider-Man 2099 Black Suit and the Miles Morales 2099 Suit God of War Ragnarok Gain access to the Armor of the Black Bear set for Kratos at the first Lost Items chest in the Realm Between Realms (previously only accessible in a New Game+ run) and a resource bundle (500 Hacksilver and 250 XP) The Last of Us Part II Remastered +50 points to activate bonus features and unlock extras. Jordan’s Jacket from Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet as a skin for Ellie Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Gain access to Nora Valiant outfit Those “bribes” are pathetic as fuck. If you’re going to bribe me, do it right. I don’t want your stupid skins.
Seriously. Especially for Spider-Man 2, as it only gives you suits that you’ll already unlock from playing the game normally.
They did the same thing for the first game.
Still, glad they’re making it optional at all.
Edit: I’m also kinda glad that it’s not something that’s like, actually “exclusive” to tying your PSN to the game, like a costume that you can’t get by regularly playing the game.
