"I have a friend who bought a PS Vita the first week it came out. At the time, he bought every single big Vita game that came out like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush and WipeOut 2048. He was kind of pissed off at the way Sony is deciding to use PS+ and we had a discussion via Skype about it. Here’s how it went."
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Good points here. PS Plus will discourage people from buying games close to launch. AC: Liberation will most likely be on PS Plus sometime in the summer. Why spend $50 on ONE game when for that $50 you can get dozens of games, timed trials, betas, discounts, cloud storage, themes etc.?
I guess it's balanced out by increased hardware sales brought upon by PS Plus. I wouldn't have even considered buying a Vita if it wasn't for it having PS Plus support.
Because of PS Plus, Sony will be getting my $250(Vita bundle + a one year PS Plus sub) that they never would have seen otherwise.
The thing is, some people were stupid enough to buy a 360 instead of a PS3 (myself). And considering I can't afford one right now, is $50 a year worth it if you only own a Vita?
I know I'll try Gravity Rush, WipEout 2048, and Mutant Blobs Attack, and that is my money's worth right there. But still, I wouldn't have purchased those otherwise. Is $50 a year worth it if the instant games collection contains 6 and only one of those is rotated once a month? Considering I'm supporting the Vita/Devs by buying the bulk of major titles released for it, the next 12 months may just hold (for myself) games that I already own.
I love Sony, I'm just saying money's tight right now and I don't want them to let us down after the first big push with collection of minis or all the major games most customers have most likely bought before they realized they'd be on Plus.
I don't have or want Vita because mobile gaming isn't my thing. But since PS+ will gather more and more Vita games anyway (I'm enjoying it on PS3), I'll eventually buy it and play those games. I wouldn't do that without PS+ incentive.
Someone should tell these guys about price drops.
It's pretty funny that one of the guys thinks waiting for a game to possibly be added to PS+ is a good idea, but yet that guy isn't bothered enough by the $50 - $60 games that almost always drop to $20 - $30 even faster than that.
- Game is practically guaranteed to cost at least 50% less after six to eight months... meh.
- Game is possibly free in six to eight months... outrage.
Why not just buy the game, trade it in once your done with it and pick it up when/if it's on plus.
Also Gravity Rush and Uncharted are there because they're first party titles and they wanted to kick start PS+ on the vita. I wouldn't expect games like those every month especially third party titles. It will be similar to the games that the PS3 plus users are getting which are smaller cheap titles like PSN(/PSP) games or old blockbuster titles to promote/ build a bigger fanbase for their sequels.
So if we see something like ACIII Liberation on there which I doubt, it won't be anytime soon, you can't guarantee when it would come and it would only be up for a month.
PS+ provides great value for games but it certainly won't replace the way I buy games.
