"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."
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
"Deep Silver, Dambuster Studios, and PLAION are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second expansion (“SoLA”) for "Dead Island 2" (the said expansion is availableright now for PC and consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
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.
