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.
And....

Fez (PS4)
Proteus (PS3)
Possibly Dragons Crown (PS Vita) instead of Harry Potter, depending on region.
Confirmed - http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/...40730_28761506

What a load of rubbish. Knew the initial PS3 rumour would be too good to be true. I'll give Crysis 3 a go, (eventually), even though it's not usually my thing, but I've checked out that Proteus on youtube and I won't even both putting it on the download list. I don't want to play a game that looks like it was created in Microsoft Paint.

What a load of crap. This is why I shouldn't read the rumours because this is a major step down from what was rumoured

Proteus looks like an 8bit version of Flower

A win for GWG this month then. Dishonored is better than that lot, even though I own that already.

Indie fashion. Will be over soon enough.

Would need to research the PS4 offerings. Crysis probably the best of the bunch but I'm struggling to properly get into it on 360. Just something about it doesn't click with me. It seems a bit of a chore. Like Killzone on PS4.

Yeah **** this indie shit, its not like all the PS3 games we get are usually over a year old and the PS4 hasn't been out for 9 months in total

They should of gave of us Last of Us of PS4 alongside the recently released Murdered Soul Suspect, you know what i'll be pissed if we don't get Destiny in the October update, I mean we haven't had a huge PS4 for free yet, we never got one for free at launch that is for sure

In fact lets tell them even though they have are money they should just stop giving us free games that they are giving us for nothing in return because we pay for online now, let's demand they stop the whole service instead of giving us games that for the most part we won't even play because of the style

Sony are bastards

I don't get why so many hate the indie games just because there indie or because the graphics don't look as good as the big retail titles.

Some of these little, 8-bit looking titles which have been coming to PS+ the past few months have been some of the most fun games i've played this year.


People should not judge a game on graphics or the fact its an indie, They should be judged on gameplay & games like Mercenary Kings, Hotline Miami & TowerFall Ascension to name a few recent PS4 titles have great, fun gameplay.
The Vita offerings have been just as good & have kept me playing my Vita more than some of the bigger titles.


I look forward to downloading & playing this months selection & am hoping they will be just as fun as some of the previous ones

Personally I'd like to see some free movies rather then the crap that's been churned out on PS4. Or give us a choice, take the game or a film. I think PS plus and the ms equivalent are stale and need a shunt up the ass.

This is all sarcasm of course, when someone give me something for nothing, even if I don't want it, I say thank you
When I pay for a service and that service disappoint I will voice my displeasure, I wont just bend over, take it and say thank you.

I don't mind indie games but I am not a fan of the 8/16-bit style of graphics which seem so popular these days. I do like the retro style games but I like when they make an effort on the graphics front as well. Trine is a great example of an indie game, with retro style gameplay touched up with a modern day look.

I lived through the 8-bit and 16-bit era and still have some of those games and systems so if I want to play a 16-bit game I will play some of the many superior retro titles I own. Hotline Miami was massively over rated IMHO.

I think some of the problem with PS4 PS+ is the service was first shown off with DriveClub and nothing that has actually arrived comes close to that. It wouldn't be hard for Sony to drop a 1st party game like Knack onto PS+ which would suddenly give a lift to most PS4 PS+ subscribers even if its not the best game.

Absolutely not, If you want movies get netflix, i'd rather have games for my games console

Also price of an average game on day one £40-45, price of PS Plus £30

If you genuinely think Plus needs improving when we get over 70+ free game, exclusive access to Betas, early access to Betas, incredible discounts and deals, what more value could they give? what a 99p film rental would change everything for you

90 minutes of entertainment once is better than getting a average but fun game that could last days?

I don't want to see films on a gaming rental service.

In the words of Sony this morning "this is not good value for Playstation gamers".

Do you have a PS4? if you do then you are paying for online and nothing else, if not maybe there is a little room for moaning

Huh? something for nothing? I'm pretty sure that your £40 per year is paying for it.

I am still on PS3.

But I don't consider the PS+ subscription on PS4 to be only for online play. That is certainly not the way the service has been built up over the years.

I would be happy if Sony provided 3 games per month per system and let us download 2 of them for example but I don't want films to start creeping onto the service.

There's a lot of people behaving like spoiled brats every month when the Plus titles are released. They don't alwas appeal to me, but there is no way in the world I am not getting value for money from my Plus subscription, even if I only like half a dozen of the games in a year.

People should really stop dissing on the 'indie' games. Just because a game is big and beautiful and retailed in a shiny box for £50 when released does not mean it is going to be any better in playability than a £10 digital download. I have not enjoyed all the PS4 offerings. I couldn't get in to Mercenary Kings, gave Don't Starve a go but it didn't really grab me as something I wanted to invest much more time in. But I got to try the full games for free when I could have paid the retial price for them and still not enjoyed them!! On the other hand, I have loved Resogun, Outlast, Pixel Junk Shooter and Stick It To The Man. All games I would probably never have bought or played, but got to play and love because of a £30 a year (with discount codes on network credit) subscription service that is rewarding me pretty well.

People really need to get past the graphics being what makes a game good. It makes a game look nice, but nice games can play like crap so it really is a rule that some need to learn not to follow.

Indie games are what is keeping the consoles alive at the moment. Without them we would see both the PS4 and the XBox One dying on their feet and going the way of the Wii U. The fact that the indies are willing to put their games on the consoles is what encourages the big studios to keep developing big titles. This first year has been quite quiet for major new next gen releases. But my PS4 has still got hours of play as I have been given fun games that keep me playing and filling the void until the next major release I want to buy comes out.

Seriously people, think about how lucky we actually are with the amount of value we get from Plus (especially those who have all three consoles!!) and stop bloody moaning about how hard done by you feel each month.

I'm another still on PS3. I'm not completely getting at Sony, there's been some great content on PS+ in the time I've had it that's paid for the sub and then some, (as well as plenty I've not had time to play yet), but I hate the 8bit/16bit obsession they've developed. If I wanted to play games like that, I'd go and dig my Amstrad and Megadrive out of the shed.

I guess compared to the rumoured list if you are just on PS3 it would be a little annoying, I was looking forward to Saints Row IV myself I even held off from buying it the other day

The Sub is only for online, you buy for online and you get everything else that comes with it including free games to sweeten the deal, Just like on Gold you buy it for the online and you get games and discounts

It was kind of clever of Sony to be honest, they gave you 60+ games a year if you pay them £30, for a lot of us it would be worth the gamble of subbing, then after a few years of instant game collection you have (whether you like them all or not) about 180ish games, if you stop subbing you can't play any of them, then they reveal their true intentions of charging for online on PS4, so you have a choice pay for the online and get 70+ games a year or lose everything and you can't even play online on your games

So PS+ was a bait and switch for an online tax.

We are not paying for online and nothing else. Xbox gamers are paying for online and dedicated servers. Playstation gamers are not. We are paying for a games subscription service, which is mandatory if we want to also play online on the ps4.

When ps+ launched! it only offered games for a monthly/annual sub. Nothing to do with online. Things have changed with the mandatory sub but people are entitled to not be pleased with the games offered.

I don't think people (on these forums anyway) don't like indies, there's nothing to say an indie studio can't make a game with good gameplay and one that looks good. Personally I hate the 8 bit games, I download and try all the ps4 ps+ games and none of the 8 bit games were enjoyed.

I know the ps4 is new, I don't expect AAA games to be offered so soon, but surely the best gaming minds out there can come up with something better than the garbage we've been getting.
