I just do not get why so many want "AAA" games for the free games. I find many times these are games I have already played. Much rather niche or not well known game like Lollipop Chainsaw. And more PSN games please.
 
There must be publisher subsidy involved though, or how would it be financially viable (let alone profitable) for Sony? Would explain the focus on larger titles, and the timing.
 
damn next week is going to be exciting..!

Niche? Fine. Downloadable just means we are getting less value. Most PSN games are just time killers that will last an hour or two at the very most. Gimme dat retail, whether its popular or niche. Also, more discounts on retail stuff.
 
Will bank All 4 one until after i get around to playing A Crack in Time.

I find myself strangely anticipating Vita+ a lot. Not necessarily for the games themselves, but as to how they'll handle it. Mainly Vita gamesd? PSP? Digital only? I wanna see how they pan it out

To those suggesting TR Underworld, don't we already have it in EU?

Yeah we do. Last Christmas I believe it was

Yep. Played most of them already. Exception was Borderlands which was awesome. BUt I would prefer a lot more random games. Problem is a lot of games given for 'free' are to help promote future games hence why those random games without a sequel aren't present really.

As for the AAA game. DMC4? Not seen that listed as an option

Awesome. Now I don't need to wonder when it'll be announced.

I want AAA games for free because I typically don't buy a lot of AAA games (or any games period beyond niche stuff that I'm already a fan of), and it only makes sense for me to want my free games to be the ones that would cost me the most otherwise.

Not everyone spends a lot of money buying games, so getting major releases for free is a huge deal.
 
Yeah it is on the store, I was just saying if it was an EU PS+ free game it would be amazing, as an American PS+ game it is a massive disappointment.... Not sure if this thread is still playing that game or not ;)

i don't get why it would be amazing for EU and not for US..and on a side note it would be a disappointment because every PS+ subscriber who likes the genre has already bought it..

This is a good position to stand by. Get the games you absolutely can't live without but without breaking the bank. Plus has been good for the free games alone. Spending 60 dollars a year to play free games is more than worth it. Even if you don't get to keep them, you have no reason to complain since you have a long time to beat then (assuming you buy a year).

Simply playing the free games they provide is a ton of time. Especially when lots of them have some form of online.
 
This one of the times it sucks as a EU and US ps+ subscriber. I already have R&C :(.

Crysis 2 is awesome though. And I do wanna try out the Cubix game

hard to please everyone. some people are LTTP on everything, so those would like more AAA game.

It's best to try to have a good mix of AAA and niche games, which of course is easier said than done no doubt.

I tend to fall more into the LTTP category, so I'd personally like to see more high profile games, but would also would like to see more retail games like 3D dot game heroes or Valkyria Chronicles (although those aren't even on PSN afaik). They might be well known to neogaf, but I don't think casual gamer Joe Blow knows about those.
 
I'm guessing god of war 3.

Dont know if it will be 3, but definitely expecting a God of War game. Remember the new one is out in March - giving a God of War game away around Christmas would help get a lot of people playing and into the series again.
 
I doubt its that big :p

According to a recent Tweet by SCEA Director of Technology Tim Moss, the upcoming God of War III uses a whopping 35GB of space on a Blu-Ray disc. Following the remark, he says, "thank heavens for Dual Layer Blu-Rays," which isn't surprising in the slightest. If A developer utilizes both sides of a Blu-Ray disc, they can jam up to 50GB of data on there, although according to The Lost Gamer, new techniques may allow a developer to put 33.4GB of space on one side of a piece of BD software. Over the past few years, we've heard many developers talk about the benefits of the Blu-Ray disc over DVD, and for a game like this, any extra help for the designers has to be appreciated.
 
that means not one single original Phat PS3 can download this game, because it would need 80Gb space to download.. (unless people have changed Harddisc)

Well, they could probably release different versions for each country with their own audio files, instead of all in one, but it would still be a pretty huge download.
 
I would hate having access to a single language release of God of War. Gladly, I've already finished most titles (only missing Ghost of Sparta), so it wouldn't be bad for me. I really hate the french VO of GoW series. Kratos has a terrible voice that doesn't match his english VO at all.
 
what does playstation plus in EU have right now? I just got a 1 month code from the "free to a good home " thread. Should I add it now or wait? Also, if I have it for one month, will I ever want to go back to US plus?

I have completed none of these games yet. :'(
 
Netguy, I'd activate it Nov 6 to grab just cause 2 and borderlands before they go away.

That's good advice. Thank you and thank you to the poster above you as well.

So did that post earlier about "the new plus" for NA say they have deals now where they can offer four games a month now (maybe not every month they said). And we'll find out about those games on Monday?

Might I suggest prioritising Double Dragon Neon. Its fun, it's reasonably challenging, it doesn't take itself very seriously..

..and it has a really great credits roll. :)

Gotta say I'm very pleased with November's freebies. Another bunch of offerings of games I don't own.

It will probably still be the only say the games for that week. They haven't said they're moving to the european whole month system.

Noted. I'm trying to intersperse one long with one short game at the moment, although Tokyo Jungle is my current "short" game (it's really not short at all, mistake on my part).
