If youre at all interested in the batman vita game then get the HD versions because the map on the original release is extremely terrible.
I bought that on PC a year or two ago and it never clicked with me. Normally love SRPGs and the like, but I found Skulls of the Shogun weird to play. /shrug

I would guess something Activision related first, probably CoD Ghosts to go with the new partnership there.

I know people in the UK are getting a personalised print of their PS+ achievements sent to them. Not sure if that applies everywhere.

Activision will never give away a COD game unless it's like a decade old. Like maybe COD3 or the COD1 HD.
Hell, has there ever been an activision game on PS+?

My bets on PS+ for July is the following:
-PS4: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (Cross-Buy with PS3 and Vita; those versions are reportedly coming, so I wouldn't be surprised if that cross-buy was saved for PS+), Rayman Legends
-PS3: Batman Arkham Origins (to push Arkham Knight), Indie game
-PS Vita: Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate, Indie game
-PS4: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (Cross-Buy with PS3 and Vita; those versions are reportedly coming, so I wouldn't be surprised if that cross-buy was saved for PS+), Rayman Legends

Yeah. Consider that that was basically Armature's first game they've done that wasn't an HD remaster or port. Does not make me feel good about that game they're doing with Keiji Inafune.
I only list Shantae due to that getting post-release cross-buy/cross-play support (hinted at the trophy list for the game, as it lists PS4/PS4/PS Vita, which means it might be cross-buy/cross-play if games like Shovel Knight mean anything).

ACIII equally had the same tailing and stealth missions, only not as many. What it did have was a ton of tutorials in missions for things you'd probably never do again, (battle at the bridge, commanding the cannons, sailing, etc).
ACIII's big problem was the amount of exposition it had for new gameplay mechanics that you'd never really use to playthrough for the rest of the game. I felt as though I was doing tutorials until 5 hours into a 12 hour long game. Not to mention, the majority of the game people ended up running everywhere due to the cumbersome tree parkour and lack of tall buildings.
AC4 was smart about this and started strong from the beginning. People also enjoyed the fact that you didn't have to do the same AC gameplay for 40% of the game as there were ship battles and scavenging at lonely islands. It had a lot of tailing and forced stealth missions, but that's mostly because they were some of the missions that people didn't complain about in 3. Instead they complained about how boring 3 was in general.
Unity went back to the AC2 style game design, but them focusing on the core gameplay of AC reminded by how it has aged, badly. Sure the game looks a generation ahead, but plays like a last generational game. I have little hope in Syndicate too. It feels as though AC is becoming a discount bin franchise for me now which is unfortunate as they definitely stepped up on the presentation front of these games which was incredibly lacking in the past.
Best wishes.

I'm predicting Killzone Shadowfall and Rocket League for PS4 this month and Batman will be one of the Vita games.
Even though I already own Shadow Fall, I'd be okay with all these!

Wasn't the whole reason that we got Arkham Asylum on PS3 last year because Sony was trying to line that up with the launch of AK but then AK got delayed?
I think they already blew their batman load.

Nobody gives a shit about the Vita game. It would be a reasonably cheap get.

Sure, but then they'll have given away 3 of the 5 Batman games for free through PS+. You're sending a pretty clear signal of "don't buy batman games" to your base if Blackman Badgate ends up going free too.
It's pretty much the reason i haven't bought an oddworld game on a sony platform, i've received almost the whole series for free.

I see your point, but really I think that would be more valid if they were giving away Arkham Origins PS3 which is actually a major title. Blackgate is a very minor title and doesn't really send any message about the main franchise. Besides we're talking years later here. Asylum in particular was free on Plus, what, 7 years after release? I don't feel like this is hurting the franchise. Batman is big enough that most people that want the games will buy them and not want to wait multiple years on the assumption that maybe one day it might go free, and a minor title like Blackgate going free doesn't really make much of a difference.
Would be an amazing surprise, but no. Not coming until towards the end of the year I believe.

shit, I forgot that came to plus lol. Well, it's not a high profile release so i stand by my statement: we're never going to see a COD game unless it's older than old.

I haven't played the game yet so I'm not gonna outright say this is wrong, but I find it hard to believe it could top the month with the 2014 GOTY Binding of Isaac.
I think I've disagreed with you more than anyone in this thread, but I do love Isaac. I don't think it will be for everyone, but if you ever take a peek into the beta thread where we were playing it, we were talking about it being GOTY with only one arena and no customisations. It beat out Bloodborne for me already, it just now has to beat Phantom Pain and Fallout 4 for my personal GOTY.
Never heard of it before, and that looks... kind of insane. Would definitely give it a try though!
It really is super fun, i am doing to play it asap

Well we couldn't have the games being released in the EU before the US, could we... ;P

Oh I see. Missed the new because my weekend was more than busy with moving into a different house.
One of the few times I don't really want this to be a free game this month. The lads at Psyonix seem like a genuinely nice bunch of guys/gals and I'm more than happy to send some coin their way.
Saying that I'm very surprised how few people have even heard of the game. Even long time gamer friends just give me a quizzical look when I mention it to them. I suppose from a business point of view a nice golden handshake from Sony and a large install base would make a lot of sense though. I know there will be paid DLC/micro transaction stuff down the line (which I'm fine with in this instance as they're cosmetic only) so it will be good to have a larger market for it.
So in that case my vote is that yes it will be a free game on the 7th to coincide with the new EU PS+ policy... and boy am I excited for it!

Rocket League blows, I'd hate to see that in the Plus line-up. It's a stupid game that wears out in a few days. Let it remain a niche for those who want it, don't shove it down everyone's throats.

Releasing a game on PS Plus is shoving it down people's throats? Good lord.

The only issue with a PS+ release of Rocket League would be that I don't see the servers handling it well. Wouldn't mind trying it out though

Most PS Plus owners don't even bother to download the games though, and online games have been released on PS Plus before without this kind of issue.

Is that basically Super Sonic Acrobatic Battle Cars?
Meh. I hope there's something for me as well.
I actually managed to fight back my PS4 PS+ backlog so far.
Basically finished:
Resogun
Don't Starve
Outlast
Pix the Cat
Infamous First Light
Valiant Hearts
Never Alone
Ether One
Hohokum
On PS3 I only finished a small percentage of the PS+ games.
If this month is again lackluster for me, I still have to finish:
Trine 2
Escape Plan
maybe Injustice story mode
The Swapper
maybe Transistor
Oddworld
maybe Guacamelee
(from the ones I want to play / haven't already bought them)

If it turns out Rocket League isn't one of this month's Plus games after all this rumouring I will cry. I've been trying to sell my friends on this game since I played the beta, and Plus would be a great way to get them involved.
If it isn't free then I'm still buying it anyway, of course.

Are we going to learn about PS Plus games today ?

Not today, no. I can’t confirm a precise time/date for the announcement but you don’t have long to wait.

He says not today.. it's right there.
I know, it was the question to the answer.
No problem, not everybody is constantly on GAF (like me) and threads like that get buried pretty fast.

Is Rocket League really that good? I've played games like it before and they've all been totally shit. You never have enough control to actually play the "sport" as intended. Like, as soon as the ball's in the wrong place it takes you ages to get into a position to retrieve it due to the nature of cars and by then it's too late because someone else has run off with it.
I find them very awkward to play and no fun at all.
