I already have all those games.. so... no ps+ for now!!

Neo Nugget4168d ago

PS+ on Vita doesn't *just* give you free games, ya know.

Baylex4168d ago

Yeah I now... but if you have or if you're going to get ps+, it's not because of the free games? Yes it is! So I repeat,no ps+ for now until I see that it brings me good stuff.

guitarded774168d ago

Man, if someone doesn't have a Vita, this is the week to get one with the $200 Vita/game bundles and PS+ giving away some awesome games. I almost wish I had waited... but the Vita has saved me so much boredom when I have to wait at meetings, work, school, etc.

FunAndGun4168d ago

^^

I'm getting one on black friday for sure.

ABizzel14168d ago

@Baylex

Then download the games and sale your copies. Win-win.

@guitarded77

I know, I wish I had waited as well, maybe I can get my money back. Still have the receipt from February :D

Credit to Laticspieman. For all you PS Plus members, I have it on good authority that we’ll be getting Uncharted 3 next month along with Resistance 3, Killzone 3, Limbo, Star Wars Force Unleashed, God of War Origins, BLOPS 1, Journey, Deathspank, Burnout chase, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier , SOCOM 4, RE4, Code Veronica X, and Mortal Kombat some time in the near future!

Check out the short PS Plus montage after 1:25. It clearly shows games that have already been on PS Plus(RDR, Borderlands, Scott Pilgrim, Starhawk etc.). The montage is clearly an indicator of the free games that will eventually make it to the service.

Btw, I highly recommend any PS Plus members to download Payday: The Heist. Awesome AWESOME game!

HammadTheBeast4168d ago

IF this is true. Then I almost feel bad for taking this much stuff for only $50 A YEAR!!! Makes it seem like XBL owners are getting robbed blind.

jrbeerman114168d ago

Im now sold on black friday vita bundle and plus membership.

Hicken4168d ago

Do you have all the discounts, too? And the automatic updates, and the cloud saves.

No, probably not.

xursz4168d ago

cloud saves are going to be a blessing for sure.

Shikoro4168d ago

Yes, everything is there just like for the PS3. The Vita automatic update is just perfect since I almost always have it on standby so it doesn't even need to turn itself on. Can't wait for the firmware to hit in a few hours. :D

Baylex4168d ago

All those disagrees are because you people doesnt have all those games ahah I have so suck it up!!

Aceman184167d ago

i think they r disagreeing because if u have PS+ on ur PS3 you'll automatically have it on the vita, so ur comment was kinda useless in a way.

its great that its coming to vita with all the benefits the PS3 gets.

showtimefolks4168d ago

Everyone is starting to realize how much value there is with psn:plus. Next gen ms better have something special otherwise if psn stays free and psn:plus offers great content from day one on ps4 than xblive will get a run for ts money

When I signed up for psn:p,us around e3 I got more than $100 worth of free stuff within first month for a service that costs $5 a month

People who hate on psn:p,us are the same ones who don't mind paying for xblive

for we are many4168d ago

Same here, I have all those games, besides, I already have PS3 Plus

LOLOLLOLLOLLOLOL on the disagrees Baylex got, he merely said HE will not get Plus FOR NOW, because he already HAVE those games, and some of you disagree-rs may not have Vita or PS3 Plus in the first place. Damn, those people just WORSHIP Sony !!

violents4168d ago

If you have plus on yur ps3 already than you have it on the vita too. Your premium membership is connected to your login not the device.

for we are many4168d ago

@ Violents: I know this, and I didn't say that Plus is a bad service espicially if you do NOT have a vast game collection already purchased, I was just expressing my amusement over the counter-common-sense disagrees Baylex got and how it reflects the rabid responses from Sony fanboys which plague this website.

IRetrouk4167d ago

You think its only sony fanboys on this site? How long have you used n4g for? I didnt hit disagree but i do disagree because ps plus is a brill service thats worth every penny. If you have the games sell them and then download them. Simple really

violents4167d ago

I wasn't disagreeing i was just adding my two cents. PS plus is awsome My vita games just doubled!

Blastoise4168d ago

Dungeon defenders is a pretty cool game, hopefully this will mean more people are online

sashimi4168d ago

I have most of those games but music unlimited and sorcery seems like deals i should pick up. Hopefully ppl are willing to take the plunge with psn plus & Ps vita combo.

LOGICWINS4168d ago

Sorcery will most likely be free on PS Plus a couple months down the line. Even at $12, I wouldn't get Music Unlimited personally. If I wanna listen to music I'll just use my free Pandora/Youtube apps.

sashimi4168d ago

^^thanks for the heads up, i just got Sorcery off newegg. Hopefully it'll arrive b4 thanksgiving so me and my friends can chill and have fun with it.

@logic
Also i know i could always listen to music on youtube or Pandora but i like its offline feature and depending on its Asian catalog i might just pick it up.

LOGICWINS4168d ago

Yeah, for offline, Music Unlimited just might be for you :)

1Victor4168d ago

link please.
we plus members are been spoiled compared to other services

blusoops4168d ago

$12 for music unlimited seems like a steal.
I'll definitely try it. Plus u can store songs on the vita for playback while not on a network. Too good to pass up...

FF XVI Producer Is Interested In Working On A New Final Fantasy Tactics Game

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.

GoodGuy0911d ago

It's insane its been this long since the last release.

CrimsonWing6911d ago

Not from you.

Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.

If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.

VersusDMC11d ago

He worked on tactics ogre reborn. Was there changes? He wouldn't make an FF tactics game an action game. It will be AA but faithful. Probably what the Diofield Chronicles team and some of the FFXVI team is probably working on already and he is just keeping a secret.

And FF hasn't had a set gameplay design since X. I disliked the MMO, 12, 13 FF's but didn't mald for years. I played other games. Stop crying as he probably won't make a single player FF again and will be busy with the next FF MMO.

EternalTitan11d ago

I can feel your hatred. Keep it up.

Ataraxias11d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn was an overall solid product but almost eliminated the concept of builds in the game.
So we'd probably end up with a system where character jobs like Mercenary for Ramza is 80% of the character instead of being freeform.

SegaSaturn66911d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn changed a lot of gameplay mechanics for the worse. The class system is weird and hard to lock in roles, and they shoehorned a new "random card appearing" mechanic on the maps which makes no sense. Previously you obtained those boosts from killing powerful opponents, not spawning randomly.

There's a way better way to play Tactics Ogre: the fanmade onevision mod of the psp version.

EternalTitan11d ago

16 was just a terrible mess.
Its not even a JRPG let alone a final fantasy game.
Yosi piss(who said he hates JRPGs) should not touch another Final Fantasy game ever again.

VersusDMC11d ago

87 metacritic can't be a terrible mess.
If Kingdom Hearts is a JRPG then FFXVI is a JRPG. And he said he hates the term JRPG as it carries a bad stereotype with western journalists.

So you're just incorrect on several fronts...

Asterphoenix10d ago

I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.

Tapani10d ago

Yes, alongside with Vagrant Story. Playing FFT, then Vagrant story and finally FFXII is a bliss. Deepest lore and best stories ever made in video games.

Forget Gravity Rush movie, give us another GR game!

porkChop100d ago

I didn't even know a movie was coming. If they can get the visuals and everything right I'll watch it.

Barlos100d ago

I didn't either, until this article. I'm also surprised, since GR was a commercial flop. Seems weird that they'd want to invest money into making it into a film.

I think the games are great though, especially on Vita. I think the move to PS4 killed the experience a little, but I'd still like to see a new one.

1Victor100d ago

I didn’t know it was in development ether but it makes sense after they saw the first doctor strange movie and the far from home fight, if it’s like that’s it’s going to be one of those Oscar nominees

Cacabunga100d ago

GR movie and shutting Japan Studio.. so stupid

porkChop100d ago

@Cacabunga

Oh yeah... Well there goes any hope for a new game. Shuttering Japan Studio was a really bad decision.

purple101100d ago

Surely you’d think if the movie is coming so is another game

And I couldn’t be happier.

Only played the demo of gr2 but let me say it’s one of the most artistic and inventive new games. Ps5 will power gr3 to new heights
Fingers crossed

Made my day hearing this.

Finally, something innovative

Redemption-64100d ago

GR2 flopped, which would they make a new game? A movie has more appeal and a successful hit at the bix office, could lead to a new game for the franchise

ChasterMies100d ago

Ok, I’ll stop sitting on Gravity Rush 2. It’s been in my library for only 8 years.

Chocoburger100d ago

Play Gravity Rush Remastered first if you haven't already, the stories are linked together. GR 2 is a fantastic game, it has a lot of stuff to see and do. In fact I have purposefully not completed the game 100% because I simply didn't want the game to end. I still have some trophies to collect, and a whole free story DLC chapter to play through.

Gravity Rush 3 would be amazing! But the team that made parts 1 and 2 were shut down, so I don't expect it to happen. This was Jim Ryan's biggest sin of all, shutting down PlayStation Japan Studios. What a shame.

FinalFantasyFanatic100d ago

Why not both? I really like the games and was disappointed we didn't get a third game to finish off the story, but I wouldn't mind a movie either if it's well done. Maybe it'll drum up enough interest to get us that third game.

gold_drake100d ago

damn that is aaalot of ppl

id rather have another Gravity Rush game than a movie tbh

DarXyde100d ago

Same. This series really resonates with my gaming spirit. I love these games so much that I got four platinums out of two games. I was always dreading that we would never get another game after Japan Studio's closure, but I'm feeling hopeful in them not giving up on the franchise with this move. My guess is that they're going to use this as a funding point

MrNinosan100d ago

That is the same amount as daily loading screens... never mind

Final Fantasy Games That Deserve the Remake Treatment

Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?

gold_drake120d ago

i feel like all of them.
well except 2 haha.

shinoff2183120d ago

Agreed. Ff2 though can be made better, so it's not entirely a lost cause. Ff8 will gets its time. I do wish they'd do the old ones. From ff10 and up those ones still hold up pretty well.

kevco33119d ago

Honestly, I've always felt that VII and up 'hold up well' in that regard. The early 3D games just needed a cosmetic update. But the FFVII Remake is so different to the original in execution that a lot of games could be done in a similar fashion and feel far more modern.

I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing (that depends on your personal preference!), just that they could feel very different.

shinoff2183119d ago

Kevco I liked remake but I think your right. Idda been happy with a 1 to 1 remake that looked like ever crisis to. Or both

I'd just love I square would one day give us a turned based one with today's graphics. I can't really think of a jrpg that does that.

andy85119d ago

I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.

shinoff2183119d ago

I do agree. I'd give it another shot even though I didn't like it at first. My taste change over time. Gta 4 for instance I was so disappointed it lacked so much of what san andreas had I didn't play it for like 5 years. One day went to a semi pro football game(American football) came home drunk and decided to try 4 again. I actually liked it after giving it a fair shot.

Rebel_Scum119d ago

Just make new games. Not every game needs to be remade.
