So the list is


Cross-Buy: Counter Spy and OlliOlli2
PS4: Valiant Hearts and Oddworld New & Tasty
PS3: Papo & Yo and Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments

What an awesome month!!!!

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

I'm very happy with the selections this month.

 

[tok9]

I've heard the following are on PS+ for March but still take with a grain of salt.

PS4: Oddworld and Valiant Hearts
PS3: Dishonored

We'll see on the rest.

If true, delighted with PS4. I've already played Dishonored and it's excellent so PS3 owners should be happy.

And ya.. you genuinely have no reason to believe me as I'm honestly just a consumer.

Any sign of Dishonored being free?

Absolutely delighted with OlliOlli2 and CouterSpy

 

[FF Seraphim]

Papa & Yo has an icon that says free on PS3 store, but when you press download, all it does is add it to cart and tries to charge you 9.99 for it. lol

gonna wait a bit

Same. I suspect its because the store hasn't fully updated.

 

[hydruxo]

Fantastic bunch of games. The wait was worth it!

 

[ThisIsMyName]

Be careful. Papa and yo showed free in the webstore but after its in the cart it shows 9.99 for me

I really want to know what happened

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Platformer/adventure game with some light puzzles. The puzzles are really easy. Basically find the one thing you can interact with and interact with it, then find the next one thing, etc..

The way you manipulate the world is pretty surreal and cool, though. Shallow, but it looks nice. And the soundtrack is great.

Yes, with some neat puzzles and world changing mechanics.

Nice, thank you.

April's games won't release until the first Tuesday of the month, which is the 7th. So typically the speculation starts the Wednesday before that...hence the 1st.

Ohhh, you're correct.

 

[oti]

No video in that blog post. Something went south.

 

[matrixman92]

oddworld just showed up for me on the web store

 

[alr1ght]

They put up a poll for February's games

[Ominym]

Oh wow, I really wanted Counterspy. Awesome.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Some weird stuff is happening Papo and Yo keeps switching from free to $9.99 and I get an error message when I try to add the Vita version of Olliolli2 to my basket.

 

[Air Holland]

So, here's the unofficial lineup this month. First format is where it probably will fit in the "2 games for each system" scheme, with the other formats mentioned being CrossBuy bonuses.

[PS3] Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments
[PS3] Papa & Yo
[PSV/PS4] OlliOlli 2
[PSV/PS4/PS3] Counter Spy
[PS4] Valiant Hearts
[PS4/PSV*/PS3*] Oddworld: New & Tasty

*PSV & PS3 versions not released yet, committed to a Cross-Buy release.

Great month for each format.

Was in the process of posting exactly this, then saw you summarized it already.

Very good month. 2015 has been awesome so far - definitely off to a better start than 2014 IMHO, and understandably so given that PS4 has much more of a library to choose from than it did this time a year ago. Sony definitely needs to iron out its communication issues but in the end if there are good games added to the service on time each month then I'm a happy camper.

 

[eFKac]

Any sign of Dishonored being free?

Absolutely delighted with OlliOlli2 and CouterSpy

Nope.

I assume it was the game that caused the delay?

With Papo & Yo or Sherlock fitting in at the last minute.

 

[Hasney]

They should stop announcing, less hassle for everyone involved.

Glad the games went up on time. That's all that matters.

Maybe the link says by itself

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/03/03/playstation-plus-march-oddworld-dishonored-olliolli-2/

It had dishonored in it.
Or other games as well

 

[EL CUCO]

Valiant Hearts isn't showing up free for me. Guess I gotta put the PS4 back on Amazon.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Oddworld and Valiant Hearts will be ready to roll by the time I get home this evening. I love downloading stuff in rest mode via my phone.

Oh shit, good call. The URL gives away a nit of what happened.

More proof that the 70 metacritic score minimum is real:
Oddworld: New and Tasty: 84
Valiant Hearts: 77

Papo and Yo: 70
Sherlock Holmes: 73
Oli Oli 2: N/A
Counter Spy 70 – FOR THE VITA. I think this is where people get confused. You might point at Counter Spy and say ‘That game has a 67 meta critic rating, so the 70 minimum is bunk.” But the PS4 version isn’t the version that was released. The Vita version is, it just happens to be crossbuy.

Knack: 54 - It is never happening.

 

[schaft0620]

PSA: OlliOlli2 showed up as $14.99 in cart, but when I clicked Purchase they both ended up free.

I had the same thing, removed it and then added it back in and it showed up as free.

 

[m@cross]

Wow, thrilled with the list, want 3 out 4 vita/ps4 games, own one of them only.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

OlliOlli 2 seems to be just Vita, no Cross-buy

Unless I'm reading it wrong, picked it up from store and only lists it as Vita, PS4 is still full price.

I just downloaded it on ps4.

 

[Portugeezer]

Good looking lineup.

 

[poros1ty]

Can I still get the February games? When I add them to my cart I get the message below, but when I go to my cart it says it will charge my cc =/

This item is available as a free download for PlayStation®Plus users. You will be able to use this item as long as you remain a PlayStation®Plus subscriber. If your PlayStation®Plus subscription ends, you will no longer be able to use this item. If you purchase add-on items for use with games obtained for free through a PlayStation®Plus offer, those add-on items will only be usable as long as the game is usable. If the game is no longer usable because you are no longer a PlayStation®Plus subscriber, a separate purchase of the game will be required in order to use the add-on items you purchased.

 

[oti]

Dishonored is USK 18.

Entschuldigung.

 

[eFKac]

Yeah Papo & Yo saved the day.

I wonder what went wrong.

Would have loved Dishonored, P&Y is good I enjoyed it, but well have it already.

 

[TalonJH]

More interested in Counterspy and OlliOlli2 on my Vita. Nice line up for people who don't own them and are willing to give them a chance.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

We went from Dishonored to Sherlock Holmes?

I'm ok with this.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I bought both the PS4 and Vita versions off my phone app. Both were free for Plus members, unless that was a mistake.

 

[Davide]

Is there a big difference between Sherlock on PS3 and PS4?

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I'm playing Olli Olli 2 on Ps4 right now. Pretty sure it's cross buy.

We had precedents that have broken the principle, Dynasty Warriors Next - 67 meta.

 

[Delusibeta]

Yeah, it's pretty clear from the EU blog URL that Dishonoured was the game that caused the holdup.

Contrast - 59
Secret Ponchos - 64

This two break the logic.

EDit: Nope. They were released on PS+ on debut.

 

[Delusibeta]

Contrast - 59
Secret Ponchos - 64

This two break the logic.

Both were PS+ on debut, though, so they don't count in a similar way that OlliOlli 2 (Metacritic: 0) doesn't count.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Contrast - 59
Secret Ponchos - 64

This two break the logic.

...they both launched on PS Plus.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Playstation webstore getting hammered right now.

 

[RadarScope1]

Contrast - 59
Secret Ponchos - 64

This two break the logic.

Didn't those to hit Plus at release, though?

 

[YianGaruga]

Dishonored is USK 18.

Entschuldigung.

So is Yakuza 4. USK 18 is no problem.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Is Counter Spy strictly stealth? I was always hoping this was a spiritual successor to Rolling Thunder.

 

[scion_barzahd]

Contrast - 59
Secret Ponchos - 64

This two break the logic.

Those games launch whit plus so...

 

[Eklesp]

I love you all. See you next month!

Dishonored must be the one that gived sony problems. is named in the link, but isn't a PS+ march game

 

[oti]

I can finally move on with my life. Love you all.

We had precedents that have broken the principle, Dynasty Warriors Next - 67 meta.

Was that Europe only? I don't remember that coming to the US.
