This just popped up on my Facebook feed as an advert from the official Sony Playstation page (see screenshot), looks like they did it a little early as the official announcement's tomorrow!
Should be free to download a week today.

Pretty poor line up for September if this is true (official announcement not till tomorrow). Like no doubt many people I own both games. SInce the games are both very old most people will have already bought them making it a bit of a lousy offering IMHO.
At least I have Second Son on disc so I can eBay it and maybe get a few quid back though won't be much as everyone will be probably doing the same....

PS Plus has offered new releases in the past but it's always been indie games which people tend to complain about.
We're not going to get newly-released and full-priced retail games. Personally I prefer newer indie releases that I might not have played to second-rate but "AAA" games like Infamous, but I don't think that's the majority view if past threads are anything to go by.
Anyway, I'm pleased with Child of Light. Always meant to play it but never got around to it. Hope it's the vita version.

Eh? Infamous Second Son a second-rate game? I don't know anybody who dislikes that game. thoroughly enjoyable, good combat system, good story, good variation, lots of replay value. Not sure what else you want from a game tbh

Nope Infamous First Light was but not second son. You can't seem to win with some people. Even though I have played and completed Infamous Second Son 100%. I hope this lineup is true as I wouldn't mind playing it again. But I can imagine some people will complain because it's a 3 year old game. First they complain about indies and demand AAA games. Sony gives them AAA games then they complain they are old.

It was First Light that was previously part of ps plus, Like others had second son and finished it along time ago, still good for those that haven't
Wraggy1234

Yeah I have them both - 100% sure they were from ps plus. Doubt this is the new line up tbh - would be very surprised

Bloody Sony, not checking with me first to cehck I didn't already have these games....
Nope neither have been on before. inFamous Last light was on it not Second son. Child of Light never was.

I don’t have either so at least that’s good for me. I was thinking about buying Second Son as I got First Light on PS+ the other year so glad I didn’t buy it.

Good for me. I literally was in the queue to buy Infamous for £10 at the weekend but the queue was too long so I gave up :smile:
I own Child of Light on xbox but would rather play it on PS4 so good as well.

Second son is good. Really short though.

As good as Infamous is - Isn't it a bit old to be featuring on PS Plus? Hardly incentive to get people to sub (for whatever that is worth to them with the millions already subbed)

What bizarre logic people here have. Even if 10 million people played these games (which they don't), their would still be 15 million subscribers who've never played them.

Even though I own both I'd say this is a very good lineup for September. Both very different but very good games in there own right.

Pretty piss poor since you can get second son for like a tenner and a lot of offers when the pro came out were bundled with infamous
shadrach
29 Aug 17#43
I found it to be another dull open-world collectathon. Shallow mechanics padded out with the usual tedious and repetitive side quests that are the bread and butter of open-world games. I'm not a fan of the genre but there are good examples, like Sunset Overdrive, which at least makes the traversal and combat reasonably fun, even if the quests are as repetitive as any other open-world game. I wouldn't put the Infamous games in the same category. They're dull.
Franzkill
29 Aug 17#44
Sony seriously needs to consider some kind of rebate offer to those who already own the game digitally. I always feel shortchanged whenever a month comes like this and I happen to own said games already :
poorboys
29 Aug 17#45
Good month for me. Looked at buying both in the past and will definitely be downloading them.
SVRich
29 Aug 17#46
Yea I meant First Light. Regarding Child of Light, I specifically meant on ps+.
megatron20
29 Aug 17#47
So i guess suckerpunch's next game will be revealed at psx then. this leaves enough time for anyone not familar with them to play their last game.
steve_bezerker
29 Aug 17#48
Side Quests? Definitely - Would it be an open world RPG without them? Shallow Mechanics? Not a chance in hell. That game is one of the most varied games that has ever lived. There are literally hundreds of different combos and ways to manipulate the battlefield. It's anything but shallow.
I respect your opinion, you're wrong, but I respect your opinion either way.

Yes, shallow. The combat is as one-note as it gets.
Let's not argue over it, but the Infamous games aren't exactly widely acclaimed for their mechanics, so I don't feel like I'm being off-kilter in my criticisms.
fuzzle3
29 Aug 17#61
I'm gonna say it because I don't think enough people have said it already....
First Light was free on Ps plus but no Second Son :relaxed:
But seriously Second Son is pretty good, looks very nice and is pretty easy to pick up. Never played Child of Light so I'm pretty happy
crumpo
29 Aug 17#62
Sony is two for two with retail game offered on PS plus. As expected, the people moaning for that are now moaning about the type of AAA they got!
At minimum, it sets a good precedent to get a retail game every month, along with an indie. Knack next month!

29 Aug 17#63
At this stage, I'd applaud if the whole thing was a reasonably elaborate hoax, one deal and two comments into your HUKD career :wink:
You didn't scroll along to the right to see the other games
No one else happened to see this?
steve_bezerker
29 Aug 17#64
i don't want to argue but think you're missing out on an awesome experience. Reviewers unanimously peg Second Son at a minimum of 87/100. I think we can consider that to be 'widely regarded' enough....all praising the cool story and deep mechanics, and most notably reducing the overall score for lacklustre side quests.
mecheekymonkey
29 Aug 17#65
Second son awesome... years ago! unless you've been in a 3 year coma and missed the chance to play this back in 2014/2015!! Utter jack **** for the increase in sub
Semiskimmed
29 Aug 17#66
Me too but infamous is a superb game, happy for anyone who's not played it yet having the chance for 'free'! As a legacy PS3 owner (lol), hoping for atleast ones decent game there or on the Vita.

As someone not owning or having played either, September looks like a brilliant month on PS Plus!

29 Aug 17#68
There's been hoaxes before, and there's also been leaks via premature adverts before. And yeah, I'm some Random Internet Dude. But for what it's worth, this is an advert that appeared on my Facebook feed. It's real, my only concern is that it doesn't explictly state that it's the PS Plus games for September, but I checked they've not been given away before and they're not on sale, so it certainly looks like they'll be the ones. Guess we'll both find out at 16.30 tomorrow! :thumbsup:

You're the second person to mention an increase in subscription. Could you elaborate please? I haven't heard of this and after a quick check on the PSN store the subscription seems the same RRP (£39.99 for 12 months)

Description PlayStation®Plus prices are changing.
From 00:01 BST on 31 August 2017, we will amend the price of PlayStation®Plus membership.
Any recurring fees payable after that date will be charged at £49.99 per annum.
Aren't we meant to be getting an update with backwards compatibility as well? Either recognizing retro discs or a database with additional titles each month, to sweeten the pie?
Raising the price to £50 a year for this shite is a piss take! Sony need to provide more!

Good for me.
Every month a free game comes out, I'm shocked at how many people moan. I don't pay PS PLUS for the free games, I pay cause I want want to want to play multilayer features.... its just an added benefit that occasionally i get a game I don't own.
These two games have great reviews from owners. If you're wanting the latest games for free... They'll charge even more than they're charging now!

ST3123 to kissmyfurrybutt
30 Aug 17#89
I REALLY agree with this. It's even worse if you own both XB1 and PS4 as I do as Gold and Plus games end up duplicating each other surprisingly often (are Sony and MS secretly in cahoots :wink: ) Would it really be all that hard for Sony or MS to have a second (back up) game they offer to those who already have the first game? Or even maybe let you choose from a small pool of games of similar value? Ok so the second one would probably need more effort but the first one would be incredibly easy.
Only likely to become more of a problem since they seem to be curtailing the new indie games in favour of old AAA games which have been on the market MUCH longer so are that much more likely to have been bought in big numbers.
I think the onus to do this should be even more on Sony as their service is now £10 more than Xbox Live Gold at standard pricing....
Btw, no need to click the links as they aren't available yet. lol. That just came with the copy and paste from the blog

All these entitled posts, what a laugh.
Don't like the games, don't pay for plus, don't like the price rise, don't pay for plus, don't want the discounts, don't pay for plus, don't want to pay to play online, get a PC.
Microsoft charged for online play for years, offering nothing extra and most happily paid it. And before people start banging on about Sony servers not being up to snuff etc, again, get a gaming PC then.
The games might not be technically free but at least they took the initiative and offered this along with the online play, with MS following suit. Sony only release six games a month and no doubt want to offer something for everyone during the year (day one owners as well as people just buying the console) , and can't just cater to the entitled posters only.

Because I can. Just like you commenting on my post... why bother? Is your opinion also worthless? :thinking:
I was reacting to others commenting about the PSN network, which I am apart of. If you read the other comments, you'll see a mixture of people talking about the games and others talking/moaning about psn. Therefore I was commenting on both. I also never said I only pay for online play, but it is my main reason. Free games are something I also enjoy. :heart_eyes:
Out of interest... if you're only paying around £3-£4 a month for Plus, what type of service are you expecting?

I get what you mean - You pick up Neon, mid-way through and it's way better than all the other powers. It becomes a bit of a grind with little payoff... but it's worth picking back up if you're a trophy hunter - it's a fairly easy Platinum. It also has a Pro update which makes it prettier :smile:
Child of Light is a lovely little RPG without the grind of JRPGs - well worth a play too :smile:
I own / have played both PS4 titles again (3rd month in a row) but that's a sign that the calibre of games has risen dramatically which is good for everyone else... If I spent less on games, I'd get more out of Plus :stuck_out_tongue:

Infamous SS - 80% It's showing it's age a little (less so on the Pro) but it's a large and fun open city where you choose how to use an array of superpowers. It's an easy Platinum for trophy hunters and includes a weirldy diverting "paper trail" side-quest which requires some detective work on your behalf, researching fake websites outside of the game.
Child of Light - 82% I absolutely love this surprise little RPG from Ubisoft - it's visually very appealing with great music, the story is good and the combat dynamics are really solid. It also feels less "grindy" than many other RPGs, raising difficulty in accordance with your abilities, not ahead of them.
