INCOMING PLUG! BEWARE!

Oh, hey guy (or gal), you haven't heard of The Swapper and want to know if it's any good? Read this review by yours truly.


Already have Octodad too but two really good PS4 games IMO. I too already have Blood Dragon but held off on SR4 as it was a little too familar to SR3. Nice addition.

This is also probably the first month ever where I have had neither of the Vita games already so gg there too.

sweetie

Have both ps4 games on PC and just bought SR4 on steam ten minutes ago. Great games all the same.

I got a code for a free 30 days if you buy the 90day subscription. I don't need this right now if anyone wants it.

They stack.
Add the code and you get 30 days for yourself.

Re read your message.
Understand now.

Check your emails you get from Sony. I started receiving them a month a go."PlayStation Plus: get 4 months for the price of 3" is the usual heading.

Do,

I got 3 months of music unlimited for 3 quid with the offers...

Never got any plus offers though mind you... !

I buy by the year, so maybe that's why....

You actually get notices for PlayStation competitions outside of the PS blog one, which is really handy.

Leak PS+ August: PS4 Octodad, The Swapper, PS3 Saints Row 4, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, PSV 1001 Spikes, Atelier Rorona Plus.

May not be 100% as the devs of 1001 Spikes have said their game will not be available, but I reckon people will be happy with that, shame I have all of them except for The Swapper and Atelier Rorona Plus is a must have for the Vita.

Will be pissed if true since i bought Blood Dragon a couple of weeks ago
But it is a strong lineup

I hope that is true because I have played none of these games.

Thanks to the helpful advice here, I took the plunge and signed up for 3 months. Reason being is i have a PS3 now but might get a PS4 in 3 months

Can I ask for some insider tips?

Is there a specific day/date that the bi-monthly new games are added to the store, I'd like to set a recurring reminder in my phone to turn on the PS3 and download the new games in case I forget (as i have sometimes done for "Games with Gold" on X-box if i've been really busy with a PC game)???

Also, how did you guys build up your PS4 collections before you bought the console, what I tried is downloading the actual game (Towerfall in this case) but not installing it? Is that the way that makes most sense?

Thinking i'm going to see a lot more value from this then the X-Box Games with Gold looking at the games on offer.

Glico Man

Unless they're playing it coy, Octodad is not one of the games unfortunately.

"Octodad ‏@octodadgame 45s
@aaron_harrison Sorry, Octodad is not a PS+ game for August."

The games are released altogether on the first Wednesday of the month.

Buy the games on the website and they will be marked as purchased from then on. Just download them onto your PS4 whenever you get it then. You can do the same for Vita games as well.

Games are monthly, not bi-monthly.
Usually the first wednesday, but you have the whole month to "purchase" them.
Set reminder for the 15th or something like that.

You don't have to download or install them.
Just "purchase" them and they will be in your download list when you get your PS4.

Yeah, i get a feeling that leak isn't genuine.

Ok cool, thanks for the advice

I was getting confused with the 6 games thing (now i realise 3 of them are indie type games)

So I should be doing the "purchasing" in a browser on PC/Mac instead of via the PS store on the Console itself as I only saw a "download" option there within the store

I don't think you can buy PS4 games from the PS3. You can get Vita games though.

I'm hoping the new PS+ games will be released today as oppose to next week.

You should be purchasing from the Browser, use the PS4 category filter to only display PS4 store items.

However if you have the Playstation APP, you can purchase from the store option on there also.

6 Games are released on PS+ , 2 for PS3 , 2 for PS4 , 2 for PS Vita.

These games are usually announced the last week of the month to be released in the first week of the following month, usually Tuesday or Wednesday.

When you purchase a game listed as a PS+ title on either of the three platforms, you can download or re-download that title anytime as long as your PS+ subscription is Active, thus you can purchase free titles on PS+ and then just download them when you get your PS4 as your account will have them as purchased under your PSN account.

Sorry if this has been asked.

I have a PS4 and PS plus membership.

I'm thinking of getting a PS3 again ( sold old one )

If I am getting the PS3 it won't be until xmas.. can I go to the PS plus store via a web browser and get all the games out and that come out in the coming months and when I do get the PS3 download them ?

thanks.

Yes. Anything you purchase through PS+ is added to whatever console system's download list you bought them on.

As an aside, I'd still purchase the Vita games too if I were everyone else... You never know when you might pick one up, and you'll have a substantial library before you even think about buying games for it

F1ngers

You should also be doing it for the Vita games...Just in case.

NeVeR

i can't believe I could have been doing this all along.. just in case !! going mad now.

at least I can start from today

thanks lads.
