Flower, flOw, Sound Shapes, Escape Plan Coming to PS4

Nathan Gary // Creative Director, External Development, Santa Monica Studio writes:

Hey, this is Nathan Gary over at Sony Santa Monica with some great news for PlayStation fans. For years, the team here at Santa Monica Studio has been pushing the boundaries of gaming with small, innovative games. Now, some of our best titles are making the jump to new PlayStation platforms — including PS4.

Cool!

i suppose since flower and flow are getting PS4 releases, that Journey will too eventually.

[Killjoy3000]

I think we may be approaching a point in the industry where smaller arcade titles such as these will live on continuously through multiple console generations. This adds so much value to the investment of these types of games. I feel that consumers will bode well with this model, thus increasing the sales of indie games.

sony i love you.. if it was another company they'd have charged for each one again

[ambientFLIER]

abzdine - Um...sony IS charging for every one again...you're not getting them for free. Lol.

[guitarded77]

This is the best news of the day for me. I already have all 4, so just 4 more free games for my PS4. I know some will argue that I already paid for them, but I paid for them without the anticipation of them coming to PS4. Hope they have their own trophies... I'd like to earn them again.

Now I will finally be getting Escape Plan to play it on PS4

[WeAreLegion]

You guys won't be disappointed. Incredible platformer. :)

[CaptainSheep]

YEAAH, cross-buy! Thank you, Sony!

[OllieBoy]

Yep. So many games I'll be downloading at launch, free of charge.

Cross-buy is another home-run by Sony, just like PS+

[MasterCornholio]

I'll have to get back to sounds and shapes then.

Thank you Sony.

Got flower for dirt cheap on PS3, will be getting it free on my vita now :D

[PlayStation_4]

This makes me so happy! :)

Great to see these amazing titles headed to PS4, Sony really are committed to making PlayStation the best place to play!

[GribbleGrunger]

Incredible value.

[strigoi814]

so if i have it already on my psvita? escape plan? will i be able to purchase the ps4 version for free?

[andrewsqual]

Yes. If you have purchased any of the games mentioned you will be able to get that game on PS4 at no extra charge and in 2 of the cases Flower and Flow on Vita too. And all on 29th November. :)

[WeAreLegion]

WHAT?!? More games to download...for free!!!

[Hicken]

Bu-bu-but they're only rented.

/s

[WeAreLegion]

Lol. Well, these aren't on PS Plus, anyway. I don't think anyone will make that joke. It's just that I already bought these on the PSN. So, I get to download the PS4 versions for free.

[Hicken]

Oh, somebody will, because they won't actually bother to find out the difference.

[fooltheman]

Yeah... flower, escape plan on my ps4

[Lucreto]

So I got at launch for the PS4
Resogun
Drive Club PS+ edition
Killzone
Flower
Escape Plan
Assassin's Creed IV.

I think I will need a new hard drive at launch.

[KentBlake]

I'm actually thinking about buying a 1TB HDD and installing it before turning the PS4 on for the first time.

[Lucreto]

Since Watch Dogs was delayed I might go for a 2TB HDD. It should last me the entire generation.

[sypher]

Wow more free games for me, since i own most of those digitally :)

[WeAreLegion]

I have 21 games to play on launch day! :D

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

AWESOME! I'm going to buy these games now! Well not Escape plan because it's not out yet.

Begs the question though, why isn't a certain competitor doing this for it's games? Hmmm
