This has always been my point in these threads. People are screaming for AAA games but when asked, the majority either have a bias against indies (going so far as claiming they “aren’t real games&#8221 or a warped idea of some perceived value that AAA games are worth more and therefor they want them instead of indies.

I just want good games. If Sony is willing to offer TLoU, Tomb Raider DE, Shadow of Mordor, or Metro Redux, then BRING IT ON! Who would say no to top tier AAA.

We aren’t going to get that. When people say they want more AAA, they aren’t asking for the best AAA games, because that’s unrealistic right now; they are asking for Knack, Killzone, and Injustice.

I’d take top tier indie over mediocre AAA any day and it surprises me that anyone would want the opposite.

I think it has more to do with release, unfortunately. The top tier AAA games you mentioned are all within the past 7-8 months, likely too soon to be given out for "free". The awesome thing about Playstation Plus for PS3 was there was nearly four years worth of titles out before it started. Starting out right away at the start of a console's life cycle means we get the small games until the bigger games have faded a little. We will probably get the games you mentioned, just maybe not till late this year or early next year, if at all in some cases.

The launch games are a likelihood because they have the most time behind them. But you never know, we might get a huge game out of nowhere!

I'm hoping we finally get a non-indie game for Vita this month. Not holding my breath though. I think the last one was Dragon's Crown, which was forever ago.

EDIT: Just checked, Dragon's Crown was the second last (August 2013), last one was PSASBR (September 2013). So six months ago, ugh.

Seriously. Vita is my only PlayStation device at the moment and I'd love to get some decent retail games again.

I just want FFX but that'll never happen lol. This is my last month of PS+, so unless it's something big, I'm going to be cancelling. Haven't felt like I was getting my value out of the last year.

 

[kiyoaki]

Thief seems OK to me, I liked the original game from way back and I always wanted to try the new one, but never enough to buy it after the mixed reviews it received. Middlish AA(A) games are almost all like that for me, so I appreciate it when Sony puts them on Plus along with some great indies.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

So what do we get for PS4 and Vita? Shouldn't we know by now?

I totally agree! It's silly for someone to think we'll be getting Uncharted quality of PS+ games for PS4. If people want good games, they should be advocating for high quality games, not AAA over indie.

I think tomorrow is what has been thrown around.

Unit 13 should go on Plus this month because if near getting the axe is true then Unit 13 will be severely crippled.

It was on Plus at some point, I doubt it will come back.

already been on plus in NA, beat the game myself.

Back when they were constantly releasing bigger Vita games I always thought FFX was a lock (Vita version only not the PS3) Nowadays, well, let's just say I don't expect that much for Vita.

 

[MikeE21286]

There is no way I'll play Thief on PS3. That kinda sucks....well hopefully we get good PS4 games this month then

Has Sony ever given out a Jrpg for Plus?

 

[Goldenroad]

Has Sony ever given out a Jrpg for Plus?

Maybe on Vita, but I'm struggling to think of what game that might have been. Wasn't there a thing where they gave away four old PSP games including FF Tactics and Patapon and I think Wild Arms or something...am I making this up? That might not have even been a PS+ thing.

 

[Teggy]

I must be the only person that enjoyed Thief. ;_;

It made my top 10 last year.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

yeesh PS3 can keep thief

Still hope my prediction of Journey & Scram kitty for PS4 happens!

Disgaea 3 on Vita off the top of my head

I remember Wild Arms but it wasn't a PS+ title. It was given out to everyone for free.
Hmm so only Vita got a Jrpg title. Eh

 

[Ogawa-san]

Disgaea 3 almost two years ago, and that's it.

It's just not the kind of game NA would get... Japan gets plenty though, which is why I'm always tempted to sign for JP PS+ as well.

One year anniversary of Vita, Patapon, wild arms, Piyotama, Patchwork Heros

PS3 Thief would be a huge bummer. Even though apparently it's not a good game I'd love to try it at least once for PS4. PS3 is just ehh.

PS3 Thief would be a huge bummer. Even though apparently it's not a good game I'd love to try it at least once for PS4. PS3 is just ehh.

It feels especially shitty when there is a (better) PS4 version, and at least here in the UK, they're basically the same price at retail. Feels like being deliberately low-budget.

Also: does anyone else find it weird that only Thief is shown on the PS3 What's New thing when usually it's both PS3 games there? Makes me wonder if we're only getting one PS3 game this month/from now on - getting Arkham Asylum years after Arkham City already suggested they were running out of recent PS3 games to put on Plus.

 

[ZQQLANDER]

Transistor for PS4?!

 

[Zach]

Still no announcement?

Huh...

 

[MikeyB]

I haven't dug a trench or even a foxhole, but I really hope one of the PS4 offerings is Killzone Intercept.

It's good, guys. Really.

Emote 'spins and runs'.

I love Unit 13 and hav no idea what you're talking about. I've never used near for anything and the game game doesn't feel crippled for me in any way. Also the game already went on Plus ages ago. One of the earlier Vita games on the service actually.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

EU. We got it in 2013.

Dragon's Dogma was free back in 2013. Dragon's Crown was free too, not sure if you'd count that as an RPG though really. There's a full list here.

There was also a Disgaea for Vita. 3, iirc.

[toddhunter]

Sony should go with Thief on PS4. It is worth it to kill off the "we want AAA games" movement once and for all.

no. Thief is a piece of shit
We need Knack. for whatever reason

 

[Frank the Great]

Is Thief really that bad? I really love the old games and I'd like to try the new one.

it's not that bad. worth trying for free or part of plus

worse than Inzaghi's Milan
The "mini" AC game set in Haiti or something would be good

 

[Lashley]

Any guesses for February?

 

[Tohsaka]

I played Thief on PS4 and thought it was decent, though it was probably the worst-performing PS4 game I've played so far. The fact that it couldn't hit a consistent 30fps on PS4 makes me not even want to think what the PS3 version was like.

 

[Fdkn]

I don't want a mediocre game like thief just because it came in a box :<

Yeah.. Vita game choices haven't been to my liking at all sadly. Pretty much burnt out on indies.

Spoiler

I'll take Rogue Legacy though.

From videos I've seen and reading up on performance differences between versions, the PS3 (and 360) frame rate drops quite often, there's screen tearing up the wazoo, and the visuals look like an early PS3 game than a game at the end of its life cycle.

 

[MMaRsu]

If they give us a stealth game id rather get that game on ps4 where you're like a troll stealth master. Styx or something. Heard it was great.

 

[Goldenroad]

Any guesses for February?

The Golf Club (PS4). There is no one buying this game who doesn't already own it. Give it away for free and get a ton of user content on there, which could in turn bring in more players in subsequent months.

has dishonored ever been given away on ps+?

Not yet unfortunately.

 

[Mifune]

Not in North America, at least. And it would be a great choice.

 

[TheRealTalker]

February's PS4 game was leaked awhile back with Decembers and January's correct or am I wrong?

 

[kevin1025]

It was a Games with Gold game, not yet a PS+ game though!
