GP writer Jared discusses what Sony did recently that made Playstation Plus a much better service nowadays than it used to be, and why it's important.
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.
That was your most nagging problem, lool there are bigger problems in the world than wanting to know what the free game is coming next. I really couldn't care any less about that problem
You DO REALIZE that all this whining is only going to cause Sony to backtrack and only make crappy games free onward, don't you?
Happened twice to me so far, vanquish and spec ops were two games I thought about buying then didn't and got em free on ps+ so I know this feeling.
I never really got how this was a problem... If you have to sit down and worry about it being free with plus at some point (typically months upon months upon months after release), then you probably didn't really want the game in the first place. I know when I want a game on the PSN, I just buy it and accept that I might get it for free at some point in the future. With this being said, what happened to supporting developers? People are quick to look down on the used / rental people (to a far lesser degree pirates), yet I see many of the same people crippled by the fact the game might be free with plus in the future. I mean sure they make money off it being free with plus, but you should support the games you like over worrying about $10 bucks.
Anyway, this article doesn't really have a point. Sony ORIGINALLY did monthly updates, but stopped due to inaccuracies. People complained a lot, so they're doing monthly updates again, which are getting less complaints overall. Needless to say, they're going to continue regardless of whither or not we support it, since it results in an overall better outlook on the PS blog.
I appreciate knowing whats ahead for the month of plus. Hopefully they keep it that way. It's still a surprise. Just a surprise once a month as opposed to once a week.
