I thought the fookers might of left the old plus games up a bit longer considering PSN was down. Hardware Rivals should be good fun, enjoyed the little bit of time I spent with the beta.

Pleasantly surprised at how good it is, to be honest, and looking forward to the rest of Episode 1 (which is very substantial, and IMO a very generous addition to the PS Plus lineup) and definitely considering investing in the rest of the series.

It's a pity that they didn't do some offer for people buying it through PS Plus. At the moment your two options are the Complete Collection with all 5 episodes and the exclusive epilogue or the Season Pass which is episodes 2-5 but with no epilogue. So if you want all the content, getting the first episode free on PS Plus is of no benefit to you at all.

They were up longer. Generally, the last couple of months you could get the games from midnight.

Just when you say about Dragon Age showing as GTA, i searched for GTA earlier and GTA V had an icon for what looked like a music album or something.
And I was only able to add one of the dragon Ages to my basket, though both showed up as purchased after checkout

Thats an absolute disgrace, you get episode 1 free as a PS+ title but it's not really free because you will have to actually buy the whole episode anyways in order to play the full game... I for one wouldn't throw my money at a company that treats it's customers like that... But to each their own I guess...

For the love of God, get over it. They gave us a five hour game that is amongst the best of the past year and far superior to other episodic content such as the Telltale games. If you don't want to buy the other episodes then no one is forcing you to, it's ridiculous that people get so offended by the games they are basically getting for less than the cost of a cup of coffee.

Plus the fact they gave us the best adventure game, which could potentially take weeks to complete, for absolutely free this month. If you haven't downloaded Grim Fandango yet, why the hell haven't you?

Grim fandango is one of my all time favorite adventure games. I am looking forward to my ps4 run, having completed my pc run a few months ago.

There's also the fact that King's Quest is still on sale for the next few days anyway with a substantial price cut, making the lack of a PS Plus discount far less of an outrage (not that I ever reckon it was one in the first place)

Certainly even episode 1 is substantial enough and well produced compared to most episodic titles that I'd be genuinely baffled if anyone played through it and considered themselves hard done by.

Anyone tell me how Sony are for giving refund or maybe they can change accounts as I downloaded a game to the wrong bloody account? I've emailed them. It said no refunds on this game when I went to buy it. Simple mistake.

If the account is activated as the primary PS4 you can play it on any account...

This new game on PS+ is awful. The controls are terrible.

Was literally just about to post this, if the controls wheren't all over the place it would be fun... Sensitivity seems high, tried to change it couldn't find an option so just pretty much give up I will give it another go some other time...

They were asking for far too much -

R2 (or X) to drive

R1 to shoot primary weapons

L1 to shoot secondary weapons

Right analogue stick to turn your car

Left analogue stick to move your turret.

I'm sure if you put enough time and effort into it, you could master the controls, but you'd still be faced with the fact that there's far too few players in servers and far too big maps. I played team deathmatch, 2 v 2, and I spent a good few seconds just trying to find where the hell someone is.

What they should have done is adopted similar driving styles to PlanetSide 2, where just moving the right analogue stick forward or back makes your vehicle go forward or back.

I'm surprised people didn't tell them to take that route.... R2 / X driving is a pure pain while trying to shoot...

Its a free game. you have no right to give out.psn never goes down and is a great product.

Just kidding

R2/X driving isnt that bad,use it Battlefield all the time. The controls for hardware rivals look similar. They moved to the left stick for accelerate in BF4 but just didnt/dont like it. The fact steer and brake/reverseaccelerate are on the same stick makes it feel terrible imo.

With BF4, it feels more natural and easier to do. Plus they have a much better driving style, depending on which way your turret is facing, so at least it's somewhat more sensical (spell checker says this isn't a correct word, but I don't care).

Doge

Im not one to complain about free games but after a half hour of playing hardware rivals the game feels a bit shallow. The arenas seem to be to be a bit oversized so the action can suffer. And the gameplay doesnt seem to be that fun.

Makes me want to dust off my copy of twisted metal for the ps3.

Did anyone else download the PSP game by accident?

I've a PSP and Vita war game from this months PS+. Just gonna check out the psp one now.

It feels like that game was expecting the kind of numbers that others get in their servers, so they created larger maps. They should have gone the Rocket League route and had small maps. Can you imagine essentially Rocket League with homing missiles?!

They said they put up the PSP one by mistake. I got the two of them as well but I think you can only get the Vita one now.

It actually doesn't matter anyway. The vita game looks to be a remaster basically.

Hey guys. I bought 12 months and the code isn't being accepted in the redeem codes Playstation Store. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or could it be a dud code or anything? Does it need to be in Euro to work? I'm confused.
