Just sank a good hour & a half into Race the Sun, the game I was least interested in this month! Try the games before you dismiss them

But that works out to less than 1 game a month, of those only 2 are Published titles as opposed to indie, I personally think it's a poor showing.
I couldn't care less whether a game is independently published or not, if it's good it's good.
It's pretty unrealistic to expect Sony to pick the games based on individual users preferences, there are always going to be months where there's nothing for me but I accept that, that might be the month that you love.

This month I already own Guacamelee, Unfinished Swan and Murasaki Baby. If I was getting them for the first time this month then I'd be very content with my £3 worth of games.
Looking forward to trying out the others but it's no big deal if they are rubbish..

I had and completed killzone but then sold it. I sort of wish I hadn't now. I can pick it up for 8 quid from cex but keep thinking it'll come to plus so leave it.

Quite.

One could argue that technically speaking, Project CARS is an indie game. Would people complain if that came to PS+?

As a PS3 game it would have been fine. But for PS4 it looked awful.

Video has surfaced apparently from the PS+ edition of Driveclub.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=SIL3cuac2jg

Could well arrive with the June update, coincides nicely with E3.

As someone who has purchased Driveclub I'm not really looking forward to it going on + as the servers are still flakey as it is, could be another launch fiasco all over again!
It's a great game when it works though(which is most of the time tbf)!

This^.

The video does raise a couple of points though

- PS+ edition was 'temporarily held back' at launch due to server issues - so presumably these videos (or versions of) could have been created last October? So there shouldn't be anything new in them (other than one part shows the DLC packs so they are obviously newly created.)
- why would clubs be 'coming soon?' Again, if it was held back for server issues, this should have been ready last October? And they must be part of the PS+ version as they said you'd be able to get the Plat with the PS+ version, and you need to join a club for a trophy.

Just strikes me as a bit strange.

Is there any chance that they're keeping the ps+ edition on different servers so as not to fcuk things up for the people that bought it ?

IIRC, it was said the PS+ download would be the same size as the normal game - so presumably it is the full version but certain parts are just locked off. In that case, as time has gone on, the PS+ Edition will have evolved just as the full version has, explaining the appearance of newer items.

Launching the PS+ Edition and having an effect on servers for the full game must be a big concern for Sony. Perhaps that's why clubs are marked as "coming soon" - the PS+ Edition may originate as a single player experience with clubs unlocked as a later date or as part of the upgrade?

Is there any chance that they're keeping the ps+ edition on different servers so as not to fcuk things up for the people that bought it ?
That's certainly a possibility. If those servers aren't up yet it would explain the "coming soon" in the video. They could then migrate users to the other servers if/when they upgrade.

The only downside would be that those of us that own the game wouldn't be able to play with our PS+ Edition friends. Might be a way to encourage them to upgrade though.

June's games are likely to be announced today.

Evidence suggests Journey and MGS GZ are strong candidates for inclusion.

Journey, that's not coming to PS4 for another month or two no? When it does I wouldn't be surprised to see it go PS+, I would love it to do so as I never bought it expecting it to be free sooner or later!

There's been no official release date for Journey, but some retailers have had it listed for June 3rd which (if true) would fit with the PS+ date.

Yeah. I've already got it on PS3, so will get it free in PS4 anyway, but the sooner the better. Looking forward to playing it again whenever it arrives.

The games for this month are a bit disappointing imo, especially in light of the AAA rumours. MGS is a fancy demo.

The best game is probably COJ: Gunslinger but I've already played that on the 360.

Was disappointed in MGS when I bought it ages ago (and quickly sold it) so not too excited about that one although I'll probably give it another go sometime. No idea about the others.

Looks like I made the right choice in not buying Ground Zeroes. I was thinking you would be offered a deal where you got GZ with MGS 5 so I will definitely be playing this.

Elsewhere Gunslinger is the only other game I am really bothered about by two games in a month looks fine for me.

Pleased with MGS. Was never happy spending money on it, so appreciate getting it through PS+

Haven't played any of the others so looking forward to checking them out.

Touche!

The AAA rumours go into overdrive round about E3 every year though and always seem to amount to the grand total of SFA!
Games with Gold is arguably even worse this month which is some achievement.
