Ok I've gone and done my research now.

Octodad does actually look like it could be a good laugh. Supposedly can be completed in a couple of hours though.

The Swapper looks like it's trying to be a bit different so could be quite an interesting puzzler. Plus just glad to see a PS+ PS4 game that doesn't look like it was designed for the Commodore 64.

Swapper is meant to be a great game, so looking forward to that one.

Octodad looks irritating as hell to me, awkward controls are rarely fun in my experience.

Wouldn't mind a blast on SR4 - looks like a bit of Infamous style fun. Enjoyed FC3 so Blood Dragon would be worth a look.

The Vita stuff looks okay - 1001 spikes looks really tough though....

Not a bad bunch, if true, but agree that the PS3 has the strongest line up again. It has the strongest library, so that is to expected I guess.

Curve Digital have tweeted to say The Swapper is NOT part of PS+ this month, nor is it planned to join the service.

Does that mean the whole rumour tweet is wrong and it's not Saints Row, Far Cry for the PS3 etc?

Doesn't look good as someone from 1001 Spikes has said it wont be included in the IGC.

We should know soon enough though, I expect the official announcement tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

I hope the PS3 stuff is right though as I would like those two games.

Hard to say. The Swapper was probably a suspect because it's release date matches when PS+ goes live and Sony have had a habit of giving us brand new indie games recently. As for the rest, who knows where they got their info from.

Edit - apparently Octodad is wrong too.

Good, those ps4 offerings didn't wow me.

But didn't xbox announce some decent games for their games for/with gold thing ? Maybe Sony changed their mind on Augusts offerings because of that.

Neither the XB1 or 360 games seemed any better than the PS3/PS4 offerings in the rumoured list. 360 got Dishonored which is great but Saints Row 4 and Far Cry 3 BD are equal offerings.

XB1 got Crimson Dragon got some really bad reviews and is never used as an exclusive worth mentioning in fanboy list making arguments.

So yes Xbox got a really good update for August but not enough to force Sonys hand and change from the rumoured content IMHO.

PS Plus games are scheduled to be revealed at 4pm.

I'm guessing there'll be no EA games....... or maybe there will. Wouldn't that be a twist!

I don't get this idea that EA won't put games on Plus because Sony said no to the subscription service

The fact is if a game appears on plus (more often than not) its for one of three reasons
1. its a first/second party game that Sony can throw on with minimal effort
2. The sales for the game have pretty much stopped and they give it to people in the hopes they'll buy DLC
3. the sequel is coming out and what better promotion that getting people hyped with previous game for free

EA still fall into 2 and 3 on the list so we'll still see games like battlefield 4 turn up on the list in the months leading up to Hardline

Because it devalues EA's own service. People will question why EA are asking Xbox gamers to pay an extra £20 a year for EA games, when you can get them on PS+ for no additional cost.

If FIFA, Madden or BF4 appear on PS+ this year, Xbox owners paying for EA Access would be rightly annoyed.

The twist would be, there's no EA Access on PS because it's being integrated into PS+ at no additional cost. That would be a massive coup for Sony but I'm not sure the economics would stack up for that to be possible.

Not really, because the EA games wouldn't have appeared on PS+ either way.

Anyway, some more rumours....

Road Not Taken (PS4)
Crysis 3 (PS3)
Lego Harry Potter (PS Vita)
Metrico (PS Vita)

More to come I assume.

I think Sony were right to turn them down, if they start allowing services like this then it wouldn't be long before Ubisoft and the likes follow suit which really would devalue PS+

So Sony have devalued PS+ by refusing to allow one publisher/developer to charge half the price of PS+ for a similar service with a more restricted catalogue???


I say well done Sony for telling them where to go.

Let's be honest, Sony saying no to EA has nothing to do with PS+. It has EVERYTHING to do with PS Now.

So more indie for PS4. I don't wholly mind Indie, but I despise these "lets make games that look like they were made in the early 90s!" type games.

IMHO PS Now is really all about other devices rather than the Playstation itself. The ability to stream games to all kinds of devices like SmartTVs and Set top boxes is really where it will shine.
