Playstation Plus games for March have gone live, and there's one piece of good news in amongst the otherwise mediocre selection - Flame Over's PS4 version has been mistakenly added as a freebie, when only the Vita version is supposed to be part of the lineup
The same thing happened with Kickbeat back in October, and it was fixed within a day - add to your basket quickly!
EDIT: has been pointed out by the developer on twitter that this is intentional; the mistake was in Sony's original announcement. So there's no rush to download, and the vast majority of these 1000+ degrees were undeserved! Hurrah!
(Thanks for the heads up, stevenjameshyde. Downloaded :smiley:)

Yea, I did chuckle a little that all the games get a tepid response but one by themselves for a different platform goes hot.

Heat added, the game is pants but the offer is legit.
Nice find, cheers.

Oops I liked that before I noticed it was PS4.
And I can't take my like back. :smile:
Well spotted Steven, voted hot.

The blog post specifically only mentions the Vita version. The game is not cross buy, so having one version free does not automatically mean the other will be. In addition, mistakes are a simple fact of life for SCEE's store updates, so in the rare case where on benefits the customer it's worth highlighting. This exact type of error has happened before

Thanks for the heads up, will probably never play it but grabbed it all the same :man:
not really the whole point of the post was to point out that its only supposed to be available for the vita not the ps4 versions. thanks to the OP for the heads up

Was really looking forward to this game I bought it on day of release and it's so difficult I can't even play it.

MEDIOCRE?! Have you played Broforce? Had it on steam for a year or so, its great!

To be fair this will likely only be available briefly and needs the heat to make people aware of it asap before it's fixed :stuck_out_tongue:

Great game, just wish I hadn't bought it now, guess I can now play it all over again on Vita (I bought PS4 version) and earn some more trophies (unless they are shared?) though I'd imagine it's much the same game just with slightly worse/smaller graphics?
We really don't see enough fire fighting games apart from this I can only think of the firemen on SNES and Fahrenheit on Mega CD oh and there was one on Wii too but I forget the name, wasn't a patch on Flame Over anyway....

There's a separate trophy list on Vita. I vaguely remember a firefighting game called Rosco McQueen on either PS1 or PS2 as well

Mint complete copies go for £300+ from the last time I checked. I regret not keeping my games in top condition from my childhood. Threw away a lot of the boxes to fit them all into one bookshelf. :disappointed:

Another AAA game from sony what is a real price £0.99 ?

I would normally take up on a freebie, but this looks mega pants! Hot for a freebie deal but cold for a pants game! But this is just my opinion. Do whatever the **** you wanna do!

Ok for free but Wow over 900 degrees for a mobile phone type game :confused:,
Just how much heat would you of given "THE WITCHER 2" which was free at the end of January on Xbox One had it been a PS4 offer. :smile:
Must have been slow on my end...took nearly an hour or so before it changed, but thanks anyway. :laughing:

It's showing as one of the monthly games for me when I click PS Plus on my phone. It's right there with all the others.

This game is so bad. I tried it out coz of the heat on the thread. But seriously this is the same old indie crap we get every month.
hass123
2 Mar 163#73
Sony should just rename ps+ to indie+ if they're going to keep pumping out these indies every month, what happened to the supposed £100+/month average value of games that were given in the ps+ ps3 era?
lukey52 to hass123
2 Mar 16#74
£100+/month average? Are you serious? Sony are a business first and foremost, there is no way they're giving everyone £1200 of games each year.
You have to pay to play online on PS4... they are never going to give you good games because what's the point? You need plus anyway. Of course they gave lots of goodies back in the ps3 times because then online was free
And for what it's worth based on the price on PSN the ps3/ps4 games combined would cost you £46.5 this month which is already more than the entire years sub costs

Had a go on this last night... Not terrible but not fantastic.
Broforce is great though :smiley:

Broforce and Helldivers are both titles that I was going to purchase on the pc. Both at around £5-10 respectively. I only paid £27 for my year sub. So it's already done half it's value for me.
Flame over may not be the title for me, but it's still a very solid title and worth £8.99 on steam, but again that's original value. Both of which the two above are worth more.

You can pick up newly released games for around £30 on ebay, play them, complete them and sell them on for £25-30. This way you can play whatever games you want for under a fiver a month. I do this and sometimes break even or make a small profit!

2 Mar 16#79
Intrigued to know how you got your sub for £27 :smiley:
Adam2050
2 Mar 161#80
It involves lots of rocket science and sub particle engineering. Just got it on a forum, there's people selling them all the time here for around that price.

It's close but the total value for 2015 was $1136.79 according to IGN.
Not bad for £35 (or less)

Be sure to check out the trailer or google the game, pretty certain the images were of a different game when I looked yesterday.
Cheers OP!

Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking about when I seen the trailer! Ace memories!

The Vita and PS4 versions are a bit different, so they don't have cross-buy enabled.
But, this isn't a mistake. The developers know the game is free, so it appears the mistake may be on Sony's side not adding the correct information to the blog.
I haven't downloaded any of the free games in months. If it wasn't needed to play Online, PS+ would have about 3 subscribers. I'm going back to PC soon. I'm tired of paying Sony for nothing

this isn't free
if you had a magazine subscription you wouldn't say the magazines were free and we only get access to the games as long as we keep paying, at least we keep magazines when the subscription's over. :stuck_out_tongue:

Lesson for Sony:
Give 6 games away, get universal abuse
Give the same 6 games away but "accidently" give one away on two different formats, get universal abuse (and 1200 degrees of HUKD heat)
