Playstation Plus Thread 2: How do I hold all these games?
- Thread starter Canis lupus
- Start date
Contrast released on ps+ the day it came out. There's no way they would of known what the score would be.

Guys, stop! I won't be able to handle the disappointment if Isaac isn't an August game if you keep doing this.Please stop.

Oh my mistake. I thought they had ported it to PS3 recently. Whoops.
Very true, didn't remember that. But there are other examples that weren't release ones... Modnation Racers and Dynasty Warriors Next for the Vita come to mind.

That big EU sale was supposed to start this week, any hopes of announcement now?

Do you think the game could be tales of xilia since the sequel is coming this month? I just have a gut feeling
isaac isn't an august game.
it's even unlikely to be sept.
Oct maybe.
Ed has said he would want to make an announce trailer for the release date about 2 months before release.
he has been hinting that he is working on such a trailer on isaac and that it's over 90% done and the rest is just polishing.
he has also been hinting at a future dlc for the game including a number of features he now wants in isaac, but couldn't put in due to thinking about them to late into development.
I don't think the company that is stupid enough to release two anime jrpgs on the same day next month (xillia 2 and swort art online) would be intelligent enough to try to drum up interest in a sequel by letting the first go on ps+. I swear... namco can't release a tales game unless there is another decently big jrpg release within one week of it :/
if he didn't he has at the very least confirmed multiple times BOI will be out this year.
and then next year will be a secret project from them. (may or may not be on consoles)
and then maybe mew genetics (as they put that on the back burner for now, likely won't be on consoles unless this plus deal goes really really well.)
They only announce sales a couple of hours before the store updates.
big EU sale you say?
No way The Swapper is one of them since it's part of the PSN Play promotion. Could be in Europe though I guess.

That sounds awful. I want to try an Atelier game, but that would be just one game. Saints Row would be decent but they have already given 2 and 3. I do not like Octodad and have no idea what The Swapper is. I care more about the PS4 games and this would make two bad months in a row (I already owned Strider).

Doesn't that leak come from this predictions?
Yeah, this "leaks" look very very fake. You can preorder The Swapper in Europe too, no way it's part of PS+ this month.

If it ends up being Flower and Roads not Taken for PS4 I won't be disappointed. Seems like it's likely. RnT is set to release on the PS+-day and hasn't had its price announced or is up for pre-order, like The Swapper that's set to launch the same day.
Octodad will be a PS+ title, just not right now due to the discount just the other week. Most likely The Swapper too, but not with a price, a discount for PS+ and a pre-order. Another World is too close to release. Fez has also been discounted just recently.
If we're honest we should look toward: Steamworld Dig, Flower, Escape Plan, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (I'm guessing this is likely since we have stuff like the Eidos Humble Bundle this month, Squeenix might need the money), Stealth Inc., or Awesomenauts.

Tomorrow is when we find out for sure. Today for US.

Not how they do it now. Tomorrow is the last Wednesday of the month.
Is it today for US? Figured it would be later this week, like Wednesday/Thursday.
This last months, official blogs posted PS+ content the same day for Europe and US. It was posted Wednesday June 25th last month by exemple:
http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014...uly-strider-dead-space-3-towerfall-ascension/
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/06/25/ps-plus-julys-free-game-lineup-goes-live-tuesday/
So probably tomorrow for both for August content

towerfall was free a month or two after it released. strider was 3 months. people should wait on all psn purchases (or XBLA games for that matter) as they all seem to come to ps+ or GWG.
unless they want to send a message.
I want Valiant Hearts and Child of Light to do as well as possible, for example - since i enjoyed both games very much.

Kind of hoping we get Killzone. I traded my copy away, but the screenshot thread gives me the itch to play it again.

some games are great and I enjoy supporting the devs, but the practice of burning early adopters a few months after release by including it into the paid online service stings a bit.
i don't understand that sentiment.
i don't feel burned about having played Valiant Hearts on the exact date that world war 1 started a hundred years ago, even if it came out on PS+ a month later.
not like PS+ will ever cover the entire PSN library of games anyways, so 3 out of 4 PSN games you're going to miss out on the day-1 experience, the OTs, spoiler free story twists, just to save some bucks on the 4th game.
Towerfall was released March 11th and arrived on PS+ in July, almost 4 months later
Strider was released February 18th and arrived on PS+ in July, more than 4 months later
Another World was relased June 25th in Europe, barely 1 month ago. It was released July 8th in the US, 3 weeks ago. Too early for PS+.

okay sorry it wasn't 2 months. 4 months is still rather silly though wouldn't you agree? I bought Strider, Towerfall at launch price thinking it would not be included in the service.
all I'm saying is people interested in PSN games would do themselves a favor by waiting.

You could say the same about retail. Prices plummet outside of the launch window (at least in the UK). If you want a game day one, buy it. If you can wait, wait.

Burning early adopters. Look, I understand how you feel, but you were not burned. You got to play 4 months early.

It's not like those retail games are becoming free* in the next few months are they?
I'm never buying a digital-only game again unless it's exclusive to a Nintendo platform and no one else should either if they want to save some cash.
I'd rather buy a game I want to play on day one rather than wait months for the possibility of it being free on PS+.

So PS Plus preview will come out in a few hour right? right??

Everytime there's been a cross-buy title like Fez, it's been advertised as just counting for one platform. Pretty nice thing of them to do actually, means you can get 3-4 e.g. Vita titles some months.
Same, especially with smaller more niche games.
Good chance Transistor, Valiant Hearts, and Child of Light might hit plus at some point, but I want to play them, they are reasonably priced, and I want to support more games like them, so I bought them at launch.

Yeah. It has been teased on EU blog few times now.
Me too. Is this ever happening?I just want a full retail game for ps4+
Nightengale

Pretty much my guess too.
There's a wealth of content, even from first-party, that would probably come to PS+ first before a bonafide retail title.
Heck, I'd think we'd see Infamous FL, Shadowfall Intercept, these standalone DLC games as PS+ games earlier than we'd see Knack there.
