watch dogs was too good to be true for Sony

There's still a lot of people who own those consoles and without these games there's no reason for them to have PS+. It's not like dropping those and focusing only on offering PS4 games would increase the quality of games we receive anyway.

Not too bad! :smiley:



Still no Knack

thanks for the post as two good PS Vita games that for some reason do not show at all on the Sony PS + site as free. Had to search for them!

LocoRoco is so cute!

Really don't like tropico at all. Feels really slow and boring and confusing.

Tropico is a great game and the missus loves that kind of game so its a big thumbs up from me, tho I can foresee a problem when Uncharted comes out and she wants to play Tropico..... I will let you know who wins..... :smiley:)

What utter rubbish. Most people have moved to PS4 and the other PS3s are either broken or sold to pawn shops and the people who still play on them don't even buy any new games from them and just living off their old games, game sharing or shared ps plus accounts

Only Tropico 5 & Table Top Racing are showing up on my PS4, should Switch Galaxy Ultra also be there? Or am I not looking properly? Thanks

^^ This x100

I only upgraded to PS4 because I gave the PS3 to my kids. The truth is; PS3 is still an amazing gaming platform. I imagine it will be right up until 2019/2020.

The only thing that will dislodge it is fifth generation console gaming.

Get World of Tanks - it's good - it's free - no need for ps plus

And the music is excellent too!

Yay, will download these this week

​yeah and what's the deal with having to pay the electric bill for it?! and provide my own tv..

Yes, but also redeem those for any platforms that you don't own, in case of future console purchases.

​yes, download all the ones that are on your platform. free to play as long as you have PS plus subscription

You really should. Its an absolute classic and up there with the best ps plus games they have given on PS4.

Guacameleeeee was a brilliant game. At first i played it i thought it was another one of those throwaway 2D games. i then gave it another chance around summer and it just clicked and loved every second of its metroidvania gameplay and probably played around 20-30 hours until i 100% the game. The definition of a hidden gem.

Will these be free to download for Playstation Plus members? sorry I'm new to it. If so, are all free to download or do you choose 1 of the titles?

I just can't get into Guacameleee no matter how hard I try to like it

All seem pretty ... meh last few months. I think Styx was the last one I played that was a proper game. Oh and Guacameleeeee!

I have tropico 5 on disc but if I did not and got it for free I would be quite happy. This is a solid month, heat added.

Agreed. Have a ps4 n vita n my ps3 broke recently. Bought another to replace as have a tonne of quality games to still play through.

Phew, got lucky and sold tropico 5 last month, would have got no money for it now

I've built PCs since I was a kid, and spent lots of money building and upgrading gaming PC over the years and playing in lovely 1440P and bought consoles for the console exclusive games. Once I got the PS4 however I didn't upgrade it as I mostly played on the PS4 as it was more convenient, and playing at 1080P on a 50" screen rather than 1440P on a 27" screen just suited me better. There didn't seem much difference in the graphics, generally PS4 being equivalent to medium/high on PC just at 30 fps rather than 60 fps.

With the PS 4.5 (Neo) coming out possibly around October with double the power of the PS4 I'll probably just buy that rather than upgrading my PC.

I too, personally still use my PS4, PS3, Vita and PSP. So... I'm glad they still do send stuff to those systems!

Hell, I still use my PS2 and PS.

I'm not a Playstation fanboy, I have other consoles as well :smiley:

alternately you can play in 4k on a pc(if you spend enough money, 1080p if you dont)....and guess what...when you want to upgrade...all your games come with...

this is why i hate ps plus....... i always hear 'server maintenance ****'..... but its simply not true... almost all games are player hosted... only mmos use servers and they are paid for by microtranactions.... its simply blackmail.... give us money or play alone.... the 'free' games aren't worth it in my opinion(subscribed almost a year ago, downloaded all but only played rocket league for more than 5 mins).... pc is the future... now to convince my friends of that...

I bought the PS4 on release day and never regretted it. Whilst I agree with you that there are very few exclusive games that would make it worth purchasing it for it is fantastic for cross platform and cross generation games. The PS3/Xbox 360 generation was unusually long so significant compromises had to be made later on like sub HD graphics (upscaled to HD) and low frame rates (sub 30 fps). There is a significant improvement in the graphics with much higher resolution, fancier effects and better frame rates.

If you aren't bothered about having better graphics and/or better frame rates then PS3 is good (especially if you are still making your way through games backlog). I on the other hand want to experience the games at their full potential, with the stuff the developers would like to do but simply can't on PS3/Xbox 360.

We still get to play the same game, and I'm more than happy to pay to experience fancier graphics and better frame rates, considering the amount of time I spend playing games to me that is money well spent. The PS4 is just about unique in that is selling in crazy numbers despite not having any exclusive games or unique selling points that would drive a purchase. A lot of people are buying them just so they can run games they could run on other consoles better, as the PS4 in most cases runs games the best that are available on multiple consoles, and is selling like hot cakes mostly just down to that.

Thanks OP, excited about Table Top Racing: World Tour, it looks like exactly the sort of game I've been looking for :smiley:

There hasn't been any official offers on Playstation Plus for existing subscribers since the PS4 was released and it was mandatory for online play, there used to be offers a few times a year on PS3 like 15 months for the price of 12. I've not seen it drop below £30 on key selling sites either. You can't get it for much of a discount of the £40 RRP unfortunately, I've bought Xbox Live Gold for under £20 in the past but that never happens with PS+ :disappointed:

Oh haha :smile: derp.

Have wanted to play Tropico 5 for a while but bought the Humble Bundle a few weeks ago to get it.

Playstation plus is £30 for the year, is there any offers on now and again when it is reduced, and how often are these offers on?

The person was taking the ****...

Knack is like £5 pony up lol

*hookah... lel

For £30 he / she probably would be a zombie, or at least smell like / resemble one.

Woop Tropico 5, remember playing it on Steam Free Weekend and loved it so much, to play on console :smirk:

For crying out loud.

I bought Zombi in physical copy and Tropico 5 about 6 weeks ago and sod's law they've both come out for FREE now.

If this happened to somebody else I'd laugh at them but I may as well have spent the £30 on a hooker.or something.

Was going to get Tropico 5 soon, happy with that!

For anyone upset about the Watch_Dogs rumour... just grab the game for around £5-£6 at CeX or online... put over 30 hours in and really enjoyed it so can't go wrong at that price.

The older games I mentioned are worth checking out. They are all less than £20 now and you'll get hours of decent gameplay from all of them :smiley:

I know what you mean about the Wii U, but for the price of a pint (or less) every month, PS Plus is worth having I would say.

Tip for you - even if you're only on PS3 at the moment, don't forget to add the monthly PS4 games to your cart and by the time you get a PS4 you'll have a nice big collection to start with. You have to do it through your computer browser as they won't appear on the PS3 store. Same for the Vita games :-)

Make sure you go on the PS Store and "purchase" them from the PSPlus members area once they're available to download every month. They'll then appear in your download list / transaction management associated with your PSN account and you'll be able to download them at any time. The best way is to do it through a browser on your computer then you can access the full list of games for all platforms in one go (even if you don't have a Vita or PS4 now, you can "purchase" them for later access should you buy that console at a later date). Otherwise you'll only get to download the games specific to the console you're accessing the store through and might miss out of a couple of freebies :-) remember it doesn't matter if you're not interested in the game, just make sure you put them all through check out each month and you can build your collection up for nothing :-)

Games are still being developed for the Vita (did you mean PSP?) it's a great platform, especially if you own a PS4... I'd highly recommend you also invest in a Vita if that's the case. The PS3 games are a welcome addition to the free bonus games for both PS4 gamers (with a PS3) and those who only own a PS3. Remember, the Plus membership is for everyone, not just those who own a PS4, so it makes absolute sense that PS3 games are included.

I've owned every Sony console apart from the PS4.
As yet, there are very few decent non-ported-from-PS3 games that make the PS4 worthy of purchase.

They will come! I have no doubt, but until they do, the PS3 is a superb console with a massive back catalogue for exploring, so there is no rush as far as I and people like me are concerned.

I personally think there must be a ton of PS4 owners who feel they bought the console too soon.

Doesn't it make more sense to wait for the games you want and a price drop?

How do I get these games for free? I've been paying a monthly subscription for them like I thought everyone else was doing! Silly me...

Yes, just purchase the free games via the Playstation app on your phone. This will add them to your library, so you can download later when you get back

Cold, it's still not a deal, this will happen in June, July, etc, it still needs PS+, it's still not a "Deal"

Tropico 5 - wow!!! yesss!!!

So glad I have both PS4 and Xbox one, the free games are way better you receive on Xbox..

Solid PS4 offerings, not sure why they're still bothering with PS3 and Vita

watch dogs was too good to be true for Sony

Fair point that it has only been on PS4 for a year - but has been on PC for ages before that! :smile: Either way it's been around £30 or under!
Here

But with the Wii U you are sacrificing a lot in third party games and basic console uses that are the norm on PS4/XB1 now.

Hopefully the NX will bring Nintendo in to the current climate.

Only the division and ordered pvz2 for my son but that is going to set me back 80 since will need ps+ to play it properly hence my slight distaste. People berate about wii u but the value is much better there.

Exactly

The month I'm going away with my playstation and will have no Internet connection .... Is there a way to save these and download at a later point?

Still not fussed about letting my PSN sub lapse at xmas.

Im still using PS3.
Playstation plus is 5.99.
Is it worth for these games?

Pshh.. no Street Fighter V

To think I would of bought Tropico 5 =D HEAT!

Time to sell Tropico 5 disc whilst it's still worth something :smiley:
Good show, just a shame I already own Tropico

Good line up, was aware of Tropico name but looks fun with good reviews.

Owning PS4 and Vita, this is a good month.

Regarding the Vita, there's a really strong set of games for it if you go back through the catalogue, and the new release Severed is just awesome. The Vita is better supported in the US however.

Same. One of the reasons I moved for Xbox (which i preferred game and controller wise) to PS3 was I was sick of paying £30-40 a year to play online. Worked well for about 3 years until next gen. I actually didn't mind as much as Sony were very clever in releasing some pretty good PS Vita and PS3 titles on PS+ for a year to placate people like us. They have stopped that now as PS+ has been rubbish for 6 months. I have also started refusing to buy any DLC (after buying season pass for COD and Batman games) as each new release is coming with less built into the game and the price of DLC is a joke!

At last some decent looking games. As owner of Vita, PS3 and 4 PS+ has been a joke for about 6 months to the extent I haven't even bothered to download one title. At least 3 of these really appeal to me....I'm old enough to remember the original bionic commando!

It's been under £30 since July according to Amazon's tracker.

Actually looking forward to playing Tropico, haven't played that type of game for a looooooong time. I have always seen the Tropicos around but like the FIFA series, it never seems worth buying as they are worth next to nothing quite quickly so never bought any.
The racing game looks cool too, kinda looks like a cross between Micro Machines and Mario Kart.

Well done this month Sony.

heat from me OP :-)

A much better offering than what Watch Dogs would have been for me. Tropico is interesting. Already have Ghost of Sparta. Rest are very meh.

:disappointed: got my hopes up for watchdogs only to be given some crappy sims style game :disappointed:
There hasn't been a decent ps plus game since rocket league

Buy Uncharted 4 when that comes out. And if you didn't play The Last of Us last gen, pick that up as well :smiley:

The Witcher 3? Uncharted Collection if you missed those as well. Great games! What games do you have so far?

Nice to see a good list of games again, however none of them interest me this month :disappointed:

Ummm yes I do think that when I'm paying 45 quits for a game to play on a 300 console there should be no further charge to play online. That is not my definition of free nor good value. Ps plus was a canny move by Sony, PS3 game had to be good there was no compeling reason to buy otherwise, now Sony has you by the balls there is no compeling reason to offer quality games as has clearly been seen. I bought the ps4 for my son but pretty disappointed with it so far, hasn't lived up to expectation.

Best for a while :smiley:

Piece of crap for PS4, again!

which is why he said way better on xbox....he just worded it wrong.

must write the way he speaks a lot of people do that

Yay for tropica! Looking forward to that.

Not seen table top but will give it a go....

And God of war on Vita! Yes please.... Although I can't remember which God of war I already own on vita!

When ps plus started all you got was 1 indie game a month for the ps3, discounts and themes. No one complained back then. Remember it's only £3.33 a month so if you have all 3 machines it's 55p a game.
It was great when they started giving proper games away but I suppose it's expected now. We probably will get retail games but when they are few years old.

Seeing as it was only released a year ago today I doubt that :P

Gaming is peer-to-peer on both PSN and XBL now. If this was such a costly enterprise there wouldn't be free online multi-player on PC or Wii U. The money garnered from XBL Gold and PS+ is used to sweeten the pot for third-party developers to offer exclusives (timed or full).

It's no coincidence that the general quality of monthly games has fallen on PS+ since Sony have gotten timed-exclusives on CoD & Battlefront maps whereas the reverse has happened on Xbox Live Gold. Since Microsoft have lost these exclusives they've been able to use the freed up money to offer better monthly games.

Finally a better month than Games with Gold

When do these new editions come available? As someone who has just bought a Ps4 I feel pretty annoyed to have to buy plus just top play online that and annoyed that all games are so expensive

I will never sell or trade any of the old consoles. More like immediately finding another one if they die! I love the Vita and there's been some decent games on Plus for it to be fair :smiley:

Same :laughing:
Can't believe the don't offer me any games for my PS1 or PS2 with the PS Plus sub though. Typical Sony!

I said it in a reply and then I said it in general, kudos for paying attention x

I've only ever played Tropico on PC. How are the controls? Does it take advantage of the ds4 touchpad?

Once again nothing for us PS2 users.

I got it at Asda soon after it was out! Ha ha didn't realise it had been that long. Time moves much faster when you get older o_q

typical... bought tropico a couple of weeks ago when it was reduced!

meh, nothing intresting here..... switch looks like a bad version of audiosurf and if tropico 5 is anything like 4 then in a few months the pc version will be in every bundle/discount site either free or for around £1.... rocket league was to only good game imo....hardly worth the £40 ps+ price though.... sigh....what a waste.....if only it wasn't required for online....

p.s. heard good things about broken age too, but its not for me..

I do it with my phone. Just put the ps plus games in your basket the purchase. It will be free and they have purchased by them n you just go on psn with your machine n download em.

"Tropico 5 is a semi-democratic construction and management simulation video game develo... Zzzzzzzzz

Anything worth playing for the current April offerings?

Nice, will pick up Tropico - Thanks!

2 decent months back to back. enjoyed tropico 4, looking forward to numero 5

Damn! I've had the Tropico 5 disc sitting on the shelf for ages, but this is a good PS4 selection for sure

It's about time they were giving away proper PS4 games IMO.

That said, for the price we pay, it's still a massive bargain (especially, like me, if you still have a PS3 and vita).

finally something I actually want to play tropico!

I think the OP is referring to the fact online gaming (COD) was free on PS3 but now PS Network costs money same as X Box Live.

Always find the Playstation Plus ps4 games a little lame or poor. I hope these don't disappoint.

Not complaining about tropico, but it was too good to be true

​I don't think I have enough data allowance for that!
(I jest, I didn't think of doing it that way! Thanks!)

i paid 45 quid for Tropico relatively recently. the highest value game I've seen on PS+. A good proper game, although I've actually put more hours and had more enjoyment from the previous freebie 'Grow Home'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

​ I'm a dirty dog.

Not interested in 3 got 1 and 2 are keepers. Table top racing has saved it for me as I would of been happy to pay a tenner for that anyway

To the people moaning about watch dogs, it's like £5 second hand, if you are that bothered go and buy it! It's actually very good and well worth the price.

I thought we were getting Watch_Dogs? ffs

Heat for LocoRoco :smile:

if i get a ps plus trial and download the ps vita games. can i continue to use the ps plus games i have download even after i finish the trial as long as i dont delete the game? just dont need ps plus really because i use an xbox one and a ps vita

Wow. All change on the free games month. Xbox a little slim (but what a month they just had) and finally the PS4 gets a decent free title in the form of Tropico!

At last a fantastic game for PS Vita

not a fan of open worlds generally but watch dogs was ace. think its the stealth gameplay that done it

the racing game looks fun, reminds me of those miniture car games on the gameboy

tropico doesnt look like my sort of thing but will give it a try.

"ok" month for me, based on not playing any of them yet

table top racing looks fun.. reminds me of micro machines on the Sega.. classic

I have played Table Top Racing, it's loads of fun! In a Micro Machines, Mario Karty kind of a way. Easily the best thing going this month. This is a rough approximation of how I feel:





Watch Dogs is as cheap as Knack, I don't know what all the fuss is about!

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ps4-watchdogs-preowned-5-99-grainger-games-2418867

Tropico huh? I was always planning to get that eventually so I'm happy enough to get that this month

Anyone know if the vita version of God of War has trophies?

No Uncharted 4????

Good month. Shame it not remasters like last of us, saints row or darks souls :wink:

Finally a great non-indie game! Typical I've just moved house and may not have internet set up in time!

Another month of saved hard drive space. Sure might be better than gwg this month but I would still give the overall crown to gwg in recent times. Last gen ps3 ps plus stomped both xb1 and ps4 put together.

I just want a few PS3 remasters like Saints Row 4 and The last of us.

Its a Vita port.

Wow, first month in a long time I will download both PS4 games. :smiley:

​Are people actually hoping to get Knack? Or is it a running joke?

Another month I am only using my subscription for the cloud storage

I thought there was a previous thread saying Watch Dogs was this months lineup??

Superb month for me not played any of them luvly jubly!

Bought tropico when it came out and sold it soon after . Been wanting to play it recently and booooom!

Good selection for the ps4

2 ps4 games i had no clue about, Tropico and table top racing but actually look quite good.

Typical another game I already have! :disappointed: Better than usual for those who dont have Tropico but im fed up with PS+.

Not too bad.

I did buy Tropico two months back there and only paid £5 for it.

Yes I have all three and haven't even bothered downloading the PS3 and Vita offerings for a while, the PS3 offerings recently have been ridiculously bad which does make you wonder why they even bother. Only seem to still include them to avoid complaints about them being removed.

I sold both my PS3 and Vita years ago. No point owning three PS systems when most Vita and PS3 games are getting remastered on PS4. Thats all PS4 has, indies and remasters.

Yeeeeeeesssssssss God of war on my vita. Finally a game I ain't got and one I wanna play.

Table Top Racing: World Tour is from the wipeout guys. Could be really good.

Tropico 5 :smile:

That's fantastic. PS+ is certainly getting better!

LocoRoco Cocoreccho? i payed less than £3 for that i think in 2008, the game came out in 2007

Watchdogs was a rumour from a random person, not Sony.

And removing PS3/Vita games really won't increase the quality of PS4 games we get. If they removed games for the Vita/PS3 I'm sure you'd also be criticising them for cutting off a big portion of their players.

Only reason they are still giving free games on Vita and PS3 is so they have a excuse for the awful games so they can use the quantity over quality argument.

Really good selection this month for PS4. Can't say the same thing for the PS3. Vita selection is good. Anyone know if the God of war game can be played on a PS TV?

Glad it wasn't watchdogs after all. Played it on release and didn't really want it again.

Me two, plus a PSP

I'm really happy with Tropico alone. I've nearly bought that on several occasions. Heat.

Correct you will need to purchase plus to allow them to play PvZ Garden Warfare 2 online. This is an extremely well known fact that for any game to be played online either on PS4 or X1 you need to purchase a subscription (PS+ or Xbox Live Gold).

A few minutes research would have told you this, as well as giving you an idea of how much the games will cost. Complaining about something you could have easily discovered before purchase is likely to produce a high sarcastic reply from some people, as they see it as your fault for not doing your research first.

knack is terrible you wouldn't want it anyway

Bought Tropico a few months back after seeing deal on here. Bored me to tears.

Not too bad! :smiley:



Still no Knack

People were excited about Watch Dogs? Huh. How odd.

Rough approximation of my feelings:

ah would have loved this if didn't have tropico 5 on PC - probably better to control this kinda game on PC with a mouse though

You sir are grade A, so when I buy plants vs zombies garden warfare 2 can my son play that online or do I still need to buy plus to use the game? Perhaps I come from the generation that bought things rather than rented them.

Still no Knack? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

That's strange I read watchdogs

It's good anyway as I don't have tropico 5, surprised no vita game though

Tropico 5 - :smiley:

Own all 3 consoles and not excited by this month at all. Still worth the subscription costs for all I get, but doubt I will download and play any of these games tbh. With my backlog of games, I would be happier having games every 3 months (1 or 2 ps4, 1 or 2 ps3, and 1 or 2 vita titles), but having better quality titles. Put our PS+ budget into quarters to make Sony able to offer more money to developers for bigger/more recent titles - personally I would get more value that way.

Tropicos worth more than Watch_Dogs so better line up I think.

A pretty solid month. Looking forward to all 3 ps4 games :smiley:

so the post the other day that got heat was just nonsense? we shouldn't allow rumour posts.

Still a good selection but it appears Sony are just going through the PS3 archives with their 'LocoRoco Cocoreccho!' offering - released in 2007 and is good for a few hours play through.

Amazed by line up. Will be taking switch Galaxy ultra and table top racing on ps4, shame I just bought Trackmania turbo today for some new racing. PS3 offering could have been better won't be getting any of those offered.

A bit crap but I thought the Watch Dogs rumour seemed a little far fetched.

Amen brother!

Woah nice! Makes a nice change that ps+ is better than gwg, Tropico 5 looks great fun.

People like me, who own all three :smiley:

God of war! Old but gold!

I liked the way everyone thought it was watch dogs when it was just a rumor with no source

It's still the only reason for those console owners to have PS+ though (apart from playing previous PS+ games) so there's no point in them only offering PS4 games on +. Again, it's not going to change anything else so there's really no point in not offering games for all consoles.

Not too bad this month. I'd also rather a good PSP game than **** like Reality Fighters. Better than GwG this time.

Pretty much with the PS3 and Vita games on offer there's no reason for them to have PS+ except to play their past PS+ games.

Finally a good month!

I almost purchased Tropico 5 today. Glad I didn't now :smile:

Always wanted to play tropico so heat for that alone

Damn, you are fast. Yay for Tropico 5!
