Anyone know when preloaded titles unlock? Midnight or during the day?

Hey TOP recommendations: Currently playing Demon Gaze and having a blast, also Rogue Legacy this week!

 

[Joey Ravn]

Read again, that's for July.

No, these were the games offered during July.

They unlock at midnight eastern time.

So for me Abe's odyssey unlocked last Monday at 11pm central time.

Hoping for the same this week with rogue legacy.

It seems that Flower, PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate and Stick it to the Man are the PS+ games of August (for the Japanese PS Store, that is).

We should (may) expect the announcement for the American store tomorrow, and on Wednesday for the European store... if everything goes as planned.

Flower as one of the PS4 games would be kinda crappy - gotta assume quite a few people already have it from Cross-Buy.

 

[Messiek]

Is anyone excited for Hohokum as I am ?

I also think that this 'delay' on announcing the ps+ games are tied to TLOU on the ps4.

I would be if I had the foggiest idea what the game was about...

Already have flower, it's a great game though

No Minecraft bundle? I... Hmmm... Maybe because it's cross-buy? And whoever has it on PS3 would be deterred from buying it in a Vita bundle? I... I'm having trouble understanding this one. :-/

If they don't have a Minecraft bundle out for Christmas at least then I think we can conclude they're done with the system.

 

[Lexxism]

Wow. Sony giving some love for Canada. TLOU PS4 bundle.

 

[ATXAlchemy]

Look at the very link you posted.

2014/7/16～2014/8/19

Also, Playstation Store Asia is PlayStation Store Asia, which is divided into sub-stores for many asian countries and this excludes Japan. It is not PlayStation Store Japan.

This page shows the current PS+ games. (Though it gets updated a bit later.)

Unless I'm a multi-dimensional being who experiences two timelines (or two points in time, rather) simultaneously, I am right. My main account has been JP since the start of 2013, my sub-account (which I now never use) is also HK. And a on-off subscriber to PS+. And a regular visitor to the PS Store since digital is the best way for me due import taxes and corrupt customs officials adding a hefty 50 USD more per game.

 

[Yasumi]

Just finished Sweet Fuse. It was enjoyable enough, but

Spoiler

it kind of irked me that the only route where you actually uncover everything, discover Hogstein's identity, turn him in, and resolve the bus crash with Urabe's dad, is the one where you fall in love with the guy behind Hogstein, who orchestrated the whole theme park revenge plot and had tried to kill you and the other guys multiple times. Like, I get some people go for the whole badboy thing, but from a literary standpoint, ughblagh.

Anyway, Shidou best guy.

 

[avengers23]

Pardon me, but as a Vita-only user, does the PLAY 2014 leave me in the cold completely? Is there cross-buy for Rogue Legacy, The Swapper, Hohokum, or Counterspy?

 

[coolasj19]

Wow. Sony giving some love for Canada. TLOU PS4 bundle.

This motherf***** is gonna sell another 3 million bundle units isn't it? That's a minimum prediction by the way. Sony is gonna ride the The Last of Us wave for a nice long while. I look forward to the PS5 remaster.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I'm glad this isn't the US one, that's a good lineup of games but I own each and every one of them.

they're all crossbuy : )

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Just seen a new ad for the Vita in the UK! Showcased Lego Hobbit (weird), Tearaway, Minecraft, and also there was a Sackboy present. Great to see some promotion for the system in the SCEE region.

Concerning thing though; when Minecraft came on screen, it listed it as coming out in "September". Might have been referring to the retail edition, but I don't know. Would be disappointing if that version got delayed.

 

[Takao]

That LBP/Tearaway bundle makes a lot of sense, good job Sony.

They're pushing the whole 'Remote Play machine' angle, so there's no point bundling in games that there are equivalents of already on PS4, instead bundle those really unique games that require the touch and the tilt and everything else.

That makes sense until you realize that they're bundling The Lego Movie Video Game with PlayStation TV, a device that has been advertised exclusively as a PS4 accessory in the west. That game has a PS4 equivalent that's much better.

SCEJ, you very nasty. 1 million views in less than a week, not even SCEA can match that.

SCEJ buy ads on Youtube.

 

[avengers23]

Thanks. I guess that solves it. I don't have a PS3 or a PS4, and I don't think I'm going to get either any time soon. But cross-buy renders that all rather moot, since I can just get the game and have access to all 3 versions.

 

[Flightmare]

Finally started Corpse Party. Really digging the music.

[maouvin]

Is it safe?

I never bought more than $50 at once, but getting digital codes on Amazon is safe, yes.

 

[NoSkillz187]

I think it's a shame that I had to read the fine print of Rogue Legacy to even know that I was getting the Vita version if I bought the PS3/PS4 version.. I mean, the Vita version can't even get it's own page on the Sony store? Really?

 

[Ingueferroque]

They're all Cross-buy, so quite the opposite.

I always think it's so sad that when I connect my Vita to PS4 to recharge, the PS4 always tells me the hardware is unsupported.

 

[antibolo]

I'm expecting that the answer is "no", but just in case, has there been any word on whether it would be possible to import an existing save from the PS3 version of The Last of Us to the PS4 remaster?

Lol, they literally don't give a fuck. I mean sure, the Vita isn't selling well, but if you won't put any effort into it, then why should it sell? They DRASTICALLY under supplied the slim bundle, and lost potentially 100's of thousands of sales..And now Vita's can't be found in stores...All I can do is smh.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Do we know which games will be free in August yet?

Wait, Lego Hobbit is on the Vita?

I... don't even know what that would look like. The LEGO games on Vita have been consistently the biggest disappointment for the system. What a waste of potential. :-/

 

[jkh33]

Still trying to decide if I should get injustice for my PS4 or Vita before the sale is over.

The Goblin King from the 2012 film chases a kid playing Tearaway into the tent. "Use the touchscreen to swing your sword!" it says, over footage of a 3DS port. I mean, it's aimed at kids so they couldn't use something like Killzone or Borderlands, but geez. Could've included the Ratchet Trilogy or hell, anything else.

 

[JStein0222]

Anybody have impressions for Lego Marvel on Vita? I know it's not the console version, but on it's own?

 

[SerTapTap]

Crossbuy is so sweet. Just booting up my PS4 and finding Flower and Flow available to download after doing literally nothing on the system. Magic. Glad they're still pushing it.

 

[Bittercup]

I'm thinking about playing Persona 2 Innocent Sin next. I heard it's a bit dated and plays differently than P3/4. Anything I should know? Is a guide necessary? I usually prefer to play without.
Or just play and enjoy?

 

[RK128]

I believe it is a top-down action game where you play as Marvel heroes beating the crap out of things. It isn't amazing or anything, but it looks to be a fun game to kill some time . I remember watching a video of the Vita version and it also showed that each mission has three side missions to beat (with a timer for each mission to boot).

The impression in general from this is that the game is built more toward handhelds then past Lego games (which were more-or-less PS2-level Lego games downsized to the 3DS and Vita).

Banking on cross promotion with the last The Hobbit movie, probably. I suppose this will be the ad for Fall/Winter too.

Also talking about Lego games, I finished Lego Batman 2 yesterday thanks to PS+ and it's a pretty good game. Too bad The Hobbit was awful.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Anyone having issues signing into PSN right now? Was watching Youtube and it kicked me off, internet is working fine.

Also, any word on when Rogue Legacy unlocks for preorders?

When I preordered it said it would unlock tonight at 9, but the store doesn't update until tomorrow.

 

[Velcro Fly]

So those 64gb Vita memory cards that are "fulfilled by Amazon" are they legit? Companies selling them have extremely high positive feedback. $100 seems like an alright price for 64gb and fulfilled by Amazon means it ships from the United States so I'd get it sooner.

 

[nawwafh]

How come the PS Plus games havent been announced yet?

Yes they are, I've ordered one from it and got it pretty quickly. Its so worthwhile.

It's a fine time killer. I had forgotten how annoying unlocking characters in LEGO games can be.

Is it safe to use the PSP power cable to the PS3/PS4? It turns on with it, but I am not sure if it's safe to have it plugged in.

 

[teflontactics]

I'm 99.999% sure they're the same cable, it's the transformer box that sits after that small cord (and continues into the PSP) that alters the output from the wall.

You should be good.

Well it isn't august so they still have some time.

Don't they usually announce on the last Thursday of the month in August in NA? So... The 31st?

 

[calc84maniac]

So, I noticed that in The Drop this week they didn't even mention Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds at all. I wonder what's up with that?

 

[RK128]

My guess is that the game will still come to the PSN tomorrow (but will just be part of the PSN Store Update post) or that it got pushed back a week for some reason :l. It looks like a fun game, so I hope it does come tomorrow .

 

[Ingueferroque]

I really suck at Hot Shots Golf Vita. It's remarkable. Great game though, I just really, really suck. Can't wait to see this series on PS4..

Eh it's very summery. Are you talking about The Hobbit film or game? Because... yeah, in both events.

The Drop is not always accurate, I'm still hoping it'll get released tomorrow.
