Playstation Plus Discussion Thread - FAQ in first post

Just because it's retail it's automatically a good game or somehow a greater value? What if they gave you Putty Squad, that came out on disc, would you be happy then? :rolleyes:

Retail is the new word for triple A like how indie is used to describe a "small" game.

I havent played many of the latest months games but Don't Starve has to be my vote as I have put a huge amount of hours into it.

Tomb Raider... Was a really good game that I wanted to play and hadn't gotten around to before that

Borderlands 2. Sunk hours into it and bought all the DLC and then bought the pre sequel. Excellent game.

Spec Ops: The Line was really good. Metro: Last Light and Dishonored as well. Some very good games were on PS+ in 2013 and early 2014.

New system coming to PS4 where you can vote for the next game to appear on Ps Plus.

Vote To Play will let users vote for the game they want the most from a selection of three unreleased titles, with the winner subsequently being released free to all PlayStation Plus members. The two runners-up will also be available to purchase from PlayStation Store at a discounted rate.

More interesting that Grow Home is coming to PS4, if that image is to be believed! Wonderful little game that needs a larger audience. It's like a refreshing antithesis to Assassins Creed - focused, involved and full of charm.

I've been waiting since the PS4 was released!

Rocket league is by far the game I've spent the most hours on with my ps4. And it's ironic that it's prequel was also a free game on plus for the ps3 which I sank countless hours into. I was going to buy rocket league regardless based on it!

While good, its going to be mega annoying when a game you really want doesn't win the vote but what can you do.

The vote will probably be for just one of the games, indie vita titles most likely.

One potential downside of the voting system will be when games that sold well previously are one of the contenders.

People have mentioned Tomb Raider and Spec Ops: The Line as being PS+ highlights for them. Would either of those games have made it to the Instant Games Collection if it was down to a vote? I can imagine a lot of people going to vote and already owning those games, so voting for another contender because of that.

Now obviously the upside is there for people who bought the game on its initial release, they aren't losing out on a free game, but the people who didn't get the game first time round miss out on a better title.

We'll have to see it in action but it looks like it's only 1 of the PS+ games.

And even with that, the other 2 will be discounted to some extent. I'm intrigued by it.

Sony aren't Greece, to do this we're going to be getting a good bit of notice of the choices beforehand.

Personally think there was more plus subbers without spec ops than with.

It's democracy, if the majority either have it already or don't want it why should Sony cater to the minority.

It says from a selection of three unreleased games, so this wont happen

Yes it can take a 2TB HDD max right now. Make sure you check the physical size of the drive in mm before you buy as the PS3 slims have very little room to spare. The the old old Phat PS3s you have more wiggle room.

Stealth is clever but not holding my attention, Limbo is class but already cleared it multiple times on ps3. Tomb Raider is not my kind of game and even more insulting that SE said it would do us playstationers fine while we waited for the new TR game.

van_beano

Castlestorm is kinda like Angry Birds, fun game for the Vita!
