Playstation Plus

[fuse]

Quite terrifying that I'm going to have both PES and FIFA's 2014 editions. This is the true danger of digital distribution.

On the plus side, Mercenary Kings! Wasn't expecting this to blow me away, but wanted to try it still, making it perfect PS+ material in my mind. Ace.

Feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with Konami, even for free.

Indeed. The patch has made a big difference to the game though. You know critical I have been of it.

Yep, I'm at the point now that no matter how good it is...or gets in the future, I'll never go back to it. Ever. And as you know, that's from me having every version since it was ISS on the SNES.

I also won't buy any Konami games new either. If I want one of their games, I'll wait for it on the second hand market.

That is my level of derision for them.

Tuesday 8th April Noel.

My mistake, PS+ comings and goings are on April 1st not the 8th, so in three days time

What's with the typo in the thread title? It wasn't like that before.

Must have been a joke... Fixed

April's games are up but they do not appear on the instant game collection page. Search for them and you can purchase them for free.

EDF 2017 on Vita is now only ?4.94 for us plus-ers!!
Loads of others in the sale too apparently but the only other one I wanted (Walking Dead s1) is still listed at ?15.

Anyone who doesn't grab Virtues Last Reward for ?9 quid is going on my block list

I'm probably gonna get flamed for this but dose anyone else think Sony have bitten off more than they can chew with its comitment to provide PS4 PlayStation plus content every month, PS3 and Vita regularly get what you would consider to be two new fairly decent games with just one item normally being of higher value than the single ps4 game,

if you break down this months digital prices (i know they can be got cheaper on disk in some cases)

Muramasa Rebirth ?19.99
Everybody's Golf 6.99
vita ?26.97 of content

Pupeteer ?24.99
payday 2 ?15.99
PS3 ?40.98 of content

no doubt stick it to the man will say it costs ?14.99 but it was ?9.99 on the ps3

if your just a ps4 owner PS+ is still good value as your getting at least a ?120 worth of games a year for ?40, but its looks a bit tight next to the ps3 and vita offerings.

[wakka]

There's no way that it's as good value as Vita or PS3 if only own a PS4. But it's at least given people something to play gratis during this period of drought.

The strategy for PS4+ has to be totally different to PS3 and PSV right now; instead of striking deals to use major titles that are past their prime for sales, they have to strike deals with indie devs for new games. I don't think that's unsustainable at all, there are plenty of devs who would love the exposure and royalties that Plus must bring.

A year down the line and there'll be plenty to put on there - all the launch games for example. Knack will likely be the first to pop up.

Having said all that, none of the featured PS4 games have interested me at all so far except Outlast. So if I owned a PS4 I'd probably be wishing Sony would pick better stuff.

EDIT: On a separate note, Muramasa Rebirth and Puppeteer, nice ^_____________^

Like Wakka says, if you only have a PS4 then PS+ is really just something you have to buy in order to play online. For me it's utterly amazing though as I have PS3 and Vita as well. No one expects Killzone to be Free on PS+. The indie approach works well I think. Resogun is an amazing freebie.

[MartyG]

The next gen game drought is an issue at the mo across all the current formats, so yeah I think Sony are struggling to provide PS4 content on PS+ due to that. They can't give away the same sort of content available on PS3 because it simply isn't there. Overall I can't say I've been disappointed with PS+ though.
