Some of those games really aren't that old, and hell yeah, I'll play some Sleepy Dogs again!

Godchild10204096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

It's official, EU plus subscribers gets better treatment than US plus subscribers.

Plus is still a great service no matter where you are.

GodisaGeek4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

Not sure, didn't the US already get Quantum Conundrum and WipEout? Also, Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition? Pretty good line-up, no?

zep4096d ago

you guys are so spoiled if you only knew whats on ps+ Jpn store =(

Godchild10204096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

@GodisaGeek, the US did get those games. I'm not saying the offering from Plus in the US is bad. Its just not comparable to the EU offering during the same month.

When you look at EU's plus offering, it makes you reconsider buying games on day one. I like the US offering because we don't see as many newly released games. And when they do show up, its not as hurtful. F1 Race Stars just came, I think it hurts EU gamers that bought that game, that may or may not have plus. But EU gamers can be a little more understanding.

caseh4096d ago

It balances out to some extent, in EU store we pay more for PSN games like the Neo Geo games etc. On top of that many are released in the US that either take an eternity to reach the EU store or never make it across.

omi25p4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

yeah sure. Mean while US PlayStation users get a high quality collectors edition statue for the Last of us and European users get a game wrapped in a towel with some DLC.

Sony have such a inconsistency when it comes to quality products being sold in different countries.

The only game there that's any good is sleeping dogs and i have it so MEH.

Simon_Brezhnev4096d ago

Yeah im pretty fed up with US plus now.

GribbleGrunger4096d ago

Can we please stop with this comparing regions. Isn't it bad enough that consoles have caused a rift without adding yet another reason for division? What is wrong with you people?

cleverusername4096d ago

US got Street Fighter and Sly 4 demo

Gamer19824096d ago

Thanks to plus I rarely buy games any more on ps3 except the odd ones that obviously wont make it like jrpgs. As for comparing regions US some months gets better than EU and vice versa.

bryam19824096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

I'm happy for my european ps brothers u deserve this and more cuz u guys really support sony not like us americans (i mean the country not the continent)

Knushwood Butt4096d ago

@ zep

For sure, but it's getting better.

Recently got Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (OK, nothing to write home about, but I had been waiting for that to show up), and a bunch of Vita games including Dynasty Warriors (not my thing, but it is a full priced Vita game).

So, it doesn't compare to what the US or EU gets, but it is certainly getting better.

ChronoJoe4096d ago

That really isn't a revelation. It was intended that way from the get-go, for whatever reason.

The EU Plus service has a contractual agreement to provide more content than the US one. The value of games promised was higher in the EU one in the initial advertisements for Plus

talisker4096d ago

Maybe EU region has more PS+ subscriptions than the US region? I'm just guessing.

Plus is good, but we (EU) get better deals. That's a known fact.

room4144096d ago

Since last e3 yes but it i've been subscribed since the start and i've seen long stretches where NA ps+ has been better. It goes back and forth.

Campy da Camper4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

What kills me is you guys clean up with Plus yet we get the awesome collector editions. I say we trade for a month lol

CyberGrim4096d ago

Sleeping Dogs excites me, as does Wipeout 2048 on the Vita, I'm always up for more Vita games.

Az1mov4096d ago

I bought the vita and Sony's paying for the games. How come they get all that hate.

FriedGoat4096d ago

I bought a vita at launch, and now they are giving me copies of the same sh*t I already own. Not 1 retail title I don't own so far. Gives me an incentive to stop buying games.

Don't get me wrong, love the vita. but PS+ sucks for people who owned a vita from launch and actually supported them by buying games.

Knushwood Butt4096d ago

@ FriedGoat

That goes for the PS3 content too.

Now I just think that if you are a PS+ subscriber, you need to be careful about what digital content you buy, because some of it is likely to show up on + at some point in the future.

DeFFeR4096d ago

@FriedGoat

If you own the retail copies, then either sell them or trade them... you'll more than make the $50 PS+ cost back if you own every free game so far...

I don't see what you have to complain about.

insomnium24095d ago (Edited 4095d ago )

@deffer

That's what I did. Been a + member for 2 months and already my first year is free. Hell I even got some money out of it. No complaints here :D

EliteDave934096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

aww man! I just got Sleeping dogs for 20$. That sucks :/

caseh4096d ago

Similar for me, I had it as a Christmas present lol.

TheFreak4096d ago (Edited 4096d ago )

I feel your pain:) I traded in blops 2 2 days after release and bought max payne 3 and sleeping dogs. Just wait and see max payne 3 will be the next ps+ game lol.

MrBeatdown4096d ago

Wow, Sleeping Dogs is pretty damn good. I hope we get that in the US.

grailly4096d ago

yeah it's a great game, the most unjustly overlooked game in 2012 imo.

I can't believe I own most of the games of the update (and arguably the best) and am still exited for the uddate.

HarryMasonHerpderp4096d ago

That is a great update!
Will be downloading everything there!
I'm especially happy about the Vita games, I couldn't put down the demo for lumines.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

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."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 8h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai1d 2h ago

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

CrimsonWing6912h ago

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.

solideagle11h ago

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

Abnor_Mal11h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

Abnor_Mal7h ago

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

boing110h ago(Edited 10h ago)

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.

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.

The 7 Best Mario Kart Clones

Mario Kart is only available on Nintendo. Where do gamers on other platforms go? Here's the 7 best Mario Kart clones for other formats.

Rebel_Scum163d ago

Speed freaks on the PSX was a really good one.

Nerdmaster162d ago

Chocobo GP had potencial to be a worthy competitor, but Square Enix just couldn't help itself from ruining it with bad monetization. Still fun to run a couple of races from time to time, though.

Kneetos161d ago

Still sad we haven't gotten a new mod nation racers from Sony in a hot minute

I played that more then MKWii for a while.
