Playstation Plus

[Kingpin32]

Yeah. I've done it before when I got a 3 month for free from something.

Cool, I think I may pick up another year long subscription when the PS4 launches. Or maybe a little bit after since I'm already spending around $600.

There was this shopping app that gave a $20 credit for a $40+ purchase at specific retailers. So I tried the app and got $20 off a year of PS+, and my subscription ends in November so that's some good timing for the PS4.

Pickings have been slim lately..........

Because it's usually one big one a month. Battlefield started the month off, next week will probably be bigger with the start of a new month.

[I OU a Beatn]

What I've noticed is that big publishers are using Plus as a "hey, try our old ass game when our sequel is coming out in a few months" service. Battlefield 3, Saints Row The Third, Borderlands, Resident Evil 5, Bioshock 2, and Darksiders were all offered a mere few months before their sequels released.

It's not terrible as the value still exceeds the $50/year subscription, but I'd like to see more Sony first party stuff, preferably stuff that isn't 2 or 3 years old. God of War Ascension is a perfect example. Sales are struggling (good, that's what you get for half assing my favorite series) so why not throw it up on Plus? PS All Stars is another perfect example.

They can certainly do a lot better, but I don't have very high hopes for the future of this service. With PS Plus being required for online play, all incentive to make this a truly good service has gone right out the window. Sony is going to get their $50 a year from everyone simply because of how popular online gaming is, so I'm guessing all these high quality games are going to be gone after 6 or so months after PS4 launches.

[JBHuskers]

Sleeping Dogs wasn't all that old.

[SCClassof93]

I would like to see an older MLB the Show or something like "I am Alive".

[I OU a Beatn]

Sleeping Dogs wasn't all that old.

Yeah, but that's one out of how many. In my eyes, it's the perfect service to throw up games that aren't selling well, but recently released. God of War Ascension, PS All Stars, Starhawk, and Sly Cooper are all perfect examples that would work while not being extremely old.

Honestly, I've been severely underwhelmed by the games for a long time except for the odd good month or two. I've been a paying subscriber since the beginning, but it wasn't for the games, it was for the automatic online storage upload (also one of the reasons I pay for Live, it should be free on both of them).

However, if they would throw up games like that and offer better discounts on more recent stuff, specifically add on content, I would be making better use of the service.

Yeah, I was thinking that if they wanted to phase out used games just start offering the games online for $45-$50.

Looking at all the versions of the game, he sold over 170,000 copies regularly, with another 270,000 downloads coming via PlayStation Plus. For more detail, “it’s had a strong tail, generating even more revenue this year than last year.”

http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2013/07/29/retro-city-rampage-sold-170000-copies-on-ps3ps-vita-270000-more-through-ps/

That's in regards to Retro City Rampage. I think that might show why Sony is going to end up charging for online. A game that is a part of the service you're paying for only gets 270,000 downloads? There much be a lot less subscribers than I thought. Something doesn't add up either way.

Been under $10 multiple times the past 2 months, so I'm really not a fan of that even if it isn't old as hell. Bit Trip Runner 2 is free this month, but I hate runner games. Zen Pinball 2 Star Wars is nice (and I'm pretty sure I actually don't have it already). Machinarium is nice for the Vita game, even though I'm pretty sure it was free for the PS3 version not too many months ago.

The only thing I'm truly happy about is Rayman Origins at $5 tomorrow. Fantastic game and I'll happily play through it again for $5.

Better than a six year old game that 360 is offering :D

They're completely different services so you can't compare the two, but yes, they're both rather weak. The difference is that the success of Plus depends upon the games because it's a rental service. When you're offering up old and dying games that have already have massive sales, it kind of defeats the point. Xbox Live, on the other hand, could offer up Hannah Montana and no one would care simply because they're not paying for the free games, they're paying for the plethora of features that Xbox Live provides.

Now if Sony ever matches those features, then I wouldn't have a problem with the games that they're offering, because I'd consider my $50 a year well spent on things like cross game chat and invites.

[JBHuskers]

Bit Trip Runner 2 is the freebie for PS+ tomorrow. Looks like Street Fighter X Tekken will be on sale. Curious to see what the price will be.

Starting tomorrow, PlayStation Plus subscribers can download a Star Wars Zen Pinball 2 table pack for free. Normally priced at $9.99, the pack includes Star Wars: Episode 5, Clone Wars and Boba Fett-themed tables.

Additionally, PSP and Vita owners can pick up Darkstalkers Chronicles: The Chaos Tower free this week on PlayStation Plus, and both Divekick and Ms. Germinator are discounted to $7.99 this week, each offering Cross Buy support for Vita and PS3 owners. Lastly, Killzone: Mercenary's multiplayer open beta program starts tomorrow, and opens up to non-PlayStation Plus subscribers on August 27.

[SmoothPancakes]

I have it too. I haven't gotten too far into it. I'm not even sure what's even going on.

I was the same way. It was very confusing early on, especially with the "prequel" I guess you'd call it for the first couple hours. After finally getting deep enough into the game to start reaching the point with the pre-war stuff (Paul Revere's ride, Boston Tea Party, etc.), the actual war itself and whatnot, it got better and the story started to become easier to follow. But yeah, I was completely lost for a good third to first half of the game until you started getting more into the war stuff.

It's a good game, they did a good job on it, but the story for somewhere between the first third to first half is just so disorganized and convoluted that you have no clue what the hell is going on half the time.

PS Plus members will get a free PS Vita download of Rayman Origins this week. While the delightful (and sometimes punishing) platformer failed to make it into our Top 10 of 2012, we assure you it was one of the year's high points.

In addition to the free game, PS Plus members may also enjoy their requisite weekly discounts on a select group of games. Playdead's indie darling Limbo is down to $12, Worms: Revolution is $7.50 and Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut – a cross-buy enabled psychological adventure game for PS Vita and PS3 – is on sale for $11.69. Finally, pinball aficionados can slam on the virtual flippers of Pinballstik and its DLC at varying discounts.

I have Amalur. I played the demo to get the unlocks for Mass Effect 3. I liked the game but I HATE that everyone talks BUT your character. I'm totally fine if no one talks and it's all text like in Zelda games but it's an immersion breaker for characters to respond to themselves while talking to the main character.

Poker Night is genuinely fun and really funny...for about 30 minutes. Then it loses it's charm.

Still, EU is just killing it with their offerings. Pretty sure they had KoA several months ago to boot. I was expecting Assassin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 to eventually show up, so it's a little disappointing when everything is revealed and neither one of them are there.

IGN review of Contrast (PS4) (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/13/contrast-review?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social), which will be available November 19 (not at launch like previously announced).

Contrast is a game full of heart, beauty, and at least a few excellent puzzles. It’s at its best when it marries its poignant story to its platforming, and at its weakest when it’s about moving boxes, but it rarely goes very long without showing us something worth playing.

Depends on what you want. I don't pay for Live for free games, I pay for the vastly superior interface and online features. Plus is nothing but a subscription service, so I pay for that for the quality of the games that they supply every month.

I'm talking past gen, of course. Next gen it's too early to tell how these services are going to play out.

Meh wasn't a big deal to me as I have things to do in life other than game. Did it suck? Yeah but I went to twitter/forums and the lack of intelligence in the country is amazing.

I can assure you that "several million" people did not get on during Christmas since they haven't even sold "several million" units yet. It's irrelevant. They sold over 80,000,000 PS3s and they're now having trouble with less than 3,000,000 PS4 users? Give me a break. Put quite frankly, they don't have the online architecture or features to be charging to play online. If they didn't offer the games that they do with a Plus subscription, I'd be tempted to call it a scam.

I would be just as pissed with games like AC4 and NBA 2K14 that require you to be online to play parts of their games. That nonsense should stop.

Not a great month for me with all the FPS games lately but a pretty solid offering.

[jaymo76]

I tend to agree with CLW on this one (did I just say that? lol :) ). The offerings are good... BUT... I'm NOT a FPS type of game player. I will check out Outlast though as it looks pretty suspenseful.

[cdj]

Reminder: Payday 2 will be available tomorrow, free for PS+ members. (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/10/playstation-plus-payday-2-free-for-members/?sf1776222=1)

Free for PS Plus members
Run-and-gun through the zombie apocalypse as hit arcade shooter Dead Nation shuffles onto PlayStation 4. Fight for your life alone or with a friend as Jack McReady or Scarlett Blake as you step onto the streets of a city overrunwith undead flesh-eaters. And, if you’re feeling really brave, take a walk down the Road of Devastation – a deadly experiment that pushes your survival skills to the absolute limit as you face hordes of zombies with no extra lives and no second chances. The dead may walk – but you can make sure they don’t walk very far.

Tomb Raider (PS3)

Dead Nation is a great little game. Not really sure the motivation behind remaking it on PS4, though. I would've much rather had Dead Nation 2.

[CLW]

Wow better go trade in Tomb Raider now on PS3 before the trade in value sinks to zippo.

[JBHuskers]

I bought the same TB HDD I got for the PS4 to use in my PS3 with all of these good retail games and who knows when I'll get to them.

Dead Nation is a great little game. Not really sure the motivation behind remaking it on PS4, though. I would've much rather had Dead Nation 2.

I think the Broadcast+ Mode (among other changes (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/27/dead-nation-apocalypse-edition-coming-to-ps4-march-4th/)) may be why:

The Road to Devastation expansion is now included in the main game, giving you two extra game modes — Arcade and Endless — allowing you to test yourself against ever increasing odds. And with support for the official PlayStation companion app, all you completionists out there now have a second screen to monitor your game stats as you play.

One of the new features in Apocalypse Edition, which you may have spotted in the trailer, is Challenge mode; every time you finish a single level, you can now send your score over to a friend to try and beat. When playing a challenge you can see the avatar of the player who set the challenge, allowing you to race against them or scope out their high-scoring route. What’s that I hear you say? “What if your friends are no match for your zombie decapitating skills?” Well, how about you take on the challenge of any leaderboard entry, for any single level, made by any player?

My favorite new feature is Broadcast+ mode. In this mode, you can stream your game to the masses interactively, and your viewers can influence the difficulty of your game. Periodically all your viewers, whether they be on PS4 or a web browser, have the option to vote between a positive and negative effect that occurs in your game. There are a total of 30 different voting effects that can occur, ranging from spawning zombie packs to giving the player ammo, or even disabling the player’s ability to sprint. But don’t worry; as a player you can get back at the masses, because voters will appear in your game as named zombies for you to exact your revenge on.

Broadcast+ Mode alone has me interested in downloading and playing the game.

April 2014 PS Plus free games:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytb62SuXpZY

In April, PS Plus membership includes Mercenary Kings, Batman Arkham City, Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark, Castle of Illusions Starring Mickey Mouse, Velocity Ultra, Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD, and more!

[JBHuskers]

Mercenary Kings looks f'n fun. Like the old Rush N Attack game, but with some crafting RPG stuff.

First sim sports title for free via +. PES was great back in the day but I haven't played it in years.

[I OU a Beatn]

All kinds of eh. Why not throw up Knack? I guess I can't complain about the quality of the titles now that Plus is required for online play, though. Sneaky Sony! :D

[JBHuskers]

I definitely want to try PES

Sent from my DROID RAZR Maxx since I'm too lazy to get to the CPU.

Decent lineup for June:

PS4

•Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate
•Trine 2: The Complete Story

PS3

•NBA 2K14
•Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (US only)
•Lone Survivor (Europe only)

Vita

•Terraria (US only)
•Mutant Mudds Deluxe (US only)
•Dragon’s Crown (Europe only)
•Surge Deluxe (Europe only)

Wish Dragon's Crown was here, but I'll take Terraria. It'll be interesting to play 2K14 on the PS3 after playing it on the PS4. I might trophy whore it for the easy ones and delete. Some good PS4 games too.

Pretty sure Pixeljunk shooter is retro twin-stick shooter. Trine 2 is a puzzle platformer where you switch between 3 characters to complete puzzles and progress the story.

[SmoothPancakes]

Hmm. Not sure how much interest I'll have in them, but what the hell, I'll download them anyway. If I don't like them, I'll just say screw it and delete them.

Pixeljunk Shooter is an old school platforming shooter kinda like Defender, but the levels are much more in depth.

Trine is a really awesome RPG/Puzzler where you have a team of people that all have special skills. It's kind of a medieval / fantasy themed game.

[skipwondah33]

If I read this correctly the games you get with Playstation Plus are only going to be available for a month moving forward.

So for example June's games release on the 1st Tuesday of the month. Then will expire on the 1st Tuesday of next month's released games.

Thought for sure I read that in an article. Anyone know anything about that?

I downloaded 2K14 lastnight and going to get Pixeljunk soon as I turn on my PS4.

Instead of releasing them throughout the month, Plus games now are all released on the first Tuesday of every month together. When it's time for the next batch, the previous ones will presumably expire.

I like it much better this way. Spacing them out throughout the month is dumb, IMO.

Yep I agree its just much easier to only have to hop on 1x a month download them all and be done with it instead of having to come back once a week.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah but I'd like to keep the game for the entirety of my Plus subscription which will be indefinite given that you need for the PS4.

Planned on playing 2K14 for a while.

Now I only have less than a month.

I like going into the store once a week and seeing what's new.

Well that would be news to me. What I have read, is you have a month to just download the title. Once you have downloaded that game, it is yours "forever" (so long as you keep your + subscription active).

Nothing changes about that. As long as you have a Plus membership, you'll be able to play the Plus games you downloaded. The only thing that's changing is the amount of time that each item is available in the store. Once you download it, it's yours as long as you have a Plus membership.

Correct.

Yeah, I was gonna say, only a month to play a game and then that's it, that would be monumentally stupid on Sony's part.

Ah ok sweet.

My understanding was that you couldn't play it anymore.

That works then. I'll have them downloaded way before they expire and definitely will keep Plus.

Thanks OU

On another note I really enjoy Pixel Junk. Didn't know anything about until JB and G said something.

Since getting a PS4 I'm playing a lot of games I otherwise wouldn't have since I didn't get but one game.

Pretty cool

Valiant Hearts? I have that game. I bought it shortly after it released. I haven't finished it but it's cool. I was a little disappointed with it because I think puzzle games are mostly just making you do things to make you do them.

That said, it has a good storyline and does a good job of weaving small WWI facts into the game. I am a bit of a WWII expert (compared to Joe Blow, not compared to historians) but my WWI knowledge is very limited.

Dishonored, the award-winning stealth FPS game first released in October 2012, will be one of the next free games on offer for PlayStation Plus subscribers in April.

PlayStation Europe confirmed the plan on Twitter after it had accidentally announced the information early, leading some to believe Dishonored would be included in the PS Plus free games collection for March.

"Dishonored is coming to PlayStation Plus (PS3) in April," the company wrote.

"Sorry for the confusion this month - we pulled the trigger too early!"

Hmmm, I tried that I thought and didn't see it.

Super Meat Boy is coming to PS4 and Vita as a free game this fall. It's a fun and brutally hard game.

Rumor is those who have been with PS+ since day one is going to get a special reward celebrating the 5-year anniversary coming up...

I have all of the above, but that's okay. They're great games for those who don't.

[bdoughty]

Loved the Laura Croft top down games. Even bought the season pass. Highly recommended.

[souljahbill]

I never finished Guardian of Light even though I was really liking it.

If Laura Croft's top was down, I'd buy a season pass too. :)

It's crazy how well she can raid tombs with such large breasts.

Makes me want to be her Womb Raider. :D

Definitely a great game to get free. We bought the game and my kids loved it. I played some too and quite a bit of the first one as well.

September Free games

I might try a couple but very underwhelming lineup for the PS4.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah I voted for Armello...

Grow Home looked blah.

Super Time Force Ultra is a great game though. I have it on XB1

Xeodrifter looks like a good old skool game. Never played the PS3 Twisted Metal either....

I just bought Teslagrad when it was on sale :D and it is a great platformer.

Overall it's a nice month....

[CLW]

decent month - grow home was my least favorite of the 3 but oh well

[JBHuskers]

Yeah none of them really stood out to me, so I chose the most different looking non cliched one. Last I looked it Armello finished 2nd though. I figured Viking Zombies would win based on title alone :D

Wow, I thought last month was bad. It's one thing to give us indies but Super Meat Boy originally came out in 2010.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, that list is getting absolutely torched online. Everyone was laughing at Xbox Live's October lineup, then Sony raced them to the bottom. :D

[CLW]

Yeah not a great month - did I miss our chance to vote on a title?

From the PS Blog


To be clear, Vote to Play will not be a monthly feature, but will take place at regular intervals throughout the year. We’re really excited to launch this new exclusive feature and we hope you enjoy it!

[SmoothPancakes]

:fp:

They made a giant deal about it, but then only make it available a couple times a year.

[JBHuskers]

I've heard that Broken Age is very good at least.

I'm fine with this month between that and trying out Super Meat Boy on PS4.

[bdoughty]

Free games for November.

Really getting tired of PS Plus for PS4. First it's non-stop indy games and then they put up alking Dead... a popular series that almost everyone I know owns and paid $$$ for. I haven't downloaded a game in several months as none of them appeal to me :(

I am to the point that I would rather they not give us games and focus that money on features and bandwidth.

Still amazed that some of Sony's own games have not been available. Games that have been on the market for awhile and have dropped in price.

Knack
Killzone: Shadow Fall
Little Big Planet 3
Infamous Second Son (we had first light but that was a stripped down DLC)
The Order (Too soon?) :D
How about MLB 15 in January? You might attract new customers that do not purchase baseball games.

I think it's fair to say that Microsoft wins this month hands down.

January 2016 Free Games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A remake of a game I played in the 90's and World of Tanks+Cars meets Twisted Metal minus the fun and interesting vehicles and characters.

What a New Year of PSN+ games...

Has anyone played Hardware Rivals yet? Any fun?

[bdoughty]

February PS4 lineup? Came from Reddit but it shows two Indie games, so it's probably legit.

Helldivers looks fun but is really online focused. I might give it a shot.

Helldivers
Nom Nom Galaxy

We bought Helldivers awhile ago. Very fun isometric space dungeon crawl. What makes it unique is the ability to call down weapons and help and how you revive each other. You can also get mech suits while fighting. Kids loved it for awhile and I had fun with them two. Both of my kids played it with my two nephews online. Stranger danger though as some douchebags won't revive you when you die. The commands need to be learned but becomes second nature. Everyone should download this game and give it a shot.

Action Henk looks like Trials on foot. I think my vote would be for Broforce.

[SmoothPancakes]

:fp:

Never heard of any of those games and not a single one interests me. Sony sure has a hard-on for indies and platformers.

[JBHuskers]

:fp:

Never heard of any of those games and not a single one interests me because they're new games from indy devs. Sony sure has a hard-on for giving away indies and platformers.

Fixed.

[SmoothPancakes]

Regardless of being new games from indie devs or not, nor being given away by Sony or not, those videos do absolutely nothing to interest me whatsoever in any of those games.

There have been some good indie games that I've come across and bought/played before, but none of the games Sony picks do anything for me. Nor do I care, nor have I ever cared for platformers, so those games being included are a waste for me.

There's a reason the last PS Plus games I downloaded were Walking Dead Season Two and Rocket League, while I'm downloading at least one game from Games with Gold nearly every month.

Free or not means absolutely nothing if the game doesn't interest me. Some farmers give away cow shit for free, doesn't mean I'm gonna go pick some up just because it's free.

[bdoughty]

I vote for none of the above and give us an actual retail game like Killzone, LBP3, etc.

[souljahbill]

I didn't even renew my Plus
