getting journey, motorstorm, unit 13 and street fighter!!! already have the sly collection so the first sly being free doesn't help me much!

SamPao4428d ago

also getting journey and Unit 13! has to be the perfect game for the Vita! demo was so great!

yesmynameissumo4428d ago

Nice update. PS+ proves its worth damn near every month.

shammgod4428d ago

You're right, and every month I am kicking myself for not going out and getting it! This ends now!

dgonza404428d ago

hell yeah it is.
The content keeps getting better and better

Vinster4428d ago (Edited 4428d ago )

Very nice update, I thought this version to Sly Cooper was the best out of the Sly Collection, so this is great for those that haven't played it yet.

Journey and Unit 13 is a must buy for me, Motorstorm RC for Vita and Street Fighter for free sounds great.

Allowen4428d ago

What an amazing surprise to me to see Sly1 coming for free.
I wanted to try this franchise after I was done with J&D collection!

This month is indeed awesome not just for psn+ subscribers but also for the fans of digital download games such myself.

ME3+Journey+Sly+God knows what = Psn/PSN+ Rules!

PinkFunk4428d ago

Aww, I want Journey. I'm so excited for it. I just don't game enough to warrant getting PS+.

Ah well, March 13th!

Ratchet & Clank Are The Only Surviving (& Thriving) PS2 Mascots

The PS2 birthed various notable PlayStation mascots, but Ratchet and Clank appear to be the only ones that made it on every later console generation.

We needed remakes of Jak and Daxter more than pumping out an unnecessary "remake" of Last of Us.

Then again, we're hilariously now getting a "remake" of Horizon Zero Dawn, so Sony is already outdoing themselves.

neutralgamer1992507d ago

😂 man really HZD just came out

MadLad507d ago

People on here go at me because I always take jabs at Sony, but it's because I want to see them do better.
Do they make great games? Of course. As of this gen does their ecosystem suck? I'd say definitely yes.

They're becoming more anti consumer by the day.

neutralgamer1992507d ago

Mad

It's not PlayStation bro it's Jimbo and his cronies thinking the success of because of them and not guys like Shawn layden, Andrew house etc

MadLad506d ago

I get that. Jim needs to go. At the same time, we're still the consumer, and Sony is still the people doing the hiring and writing the checks. They need to stop turning a blind eye to how Playstation is being handled right now and get things back on track.

This isn't last generation. Xbox is real competition again. You're seeing a lot of people getting tired of what they're doing with the brand the last couple of years.

Vengeance1138507d ago

God of War? Hello? Is Kratos not a PS2 mascot? Hard to think that he's not.

SonyStyled507d ago

Beat me to it. When I read the headline I was like “huh?”

Lifexline507d ago

I don’t think so for some reason the title mascot is always given to “platformers” characters like Mario in particular when it comes to games.

Miscrosoft tried d to make master chief it’s mascot but it never really stuck because those characters appeal to a small percentage of gamers.

Vengeance1138507d ago (Edited 507d ago )

God of War on PS2 does have platforming elements in it, if Jak & Daxter and Ratchet can be considered platformers with the inclusion of minor platforming elements in them then so can God of War.

What a mascot is though is simply a game series based around a "named character". Solid Snake is a mascot, Gabe Logan from Syphon Filter is a mascot, Lara Croft is a mascot etc... we really don't get many franchises based around a single named protagonist anymore.
Master Chief is 100% Microsoft's mascot and yes he does appeal to a very wide range of gamers. He's a space marine much akin to the Terran in Starcraft, whats not to love.

darthv72507d ago

blinx was the xb mascot, not master chief. but they gave up on blinx after the 2nd game which is sad as there was lots of potential there. They should bring him back.

abstractel507d ago (Edited 507d ago )

So the definition of a mascot is that they have to be cartoony and platform characters? Makes little sense to me.

Mascot, Icon, whatever word you want to use, Kratos is definitely part of that Playstation definition. And yeah, Master Chief is one for Xbox for whatever it's worth.

Levii_92507d ago

Nahh we don’t need these kind’s of games we need more walking slimulators like Naughty Dog games and remakes of games that aren’t even 10 years old because they make money right Sony. The fact that R&C is still around AND still good is a goddamn miracle that i’m very grateful for.

Z501507d ago

"We need more walking Simulators"

Like Hellblade 2?

solideagle507d ago

lol it's funny how your only game is about Sony games because Microsoft has no games to compare to :p

Smellsforfree507d ago

Which is absolutely fine since he wasn't comparing Sony to MS in his comment to begin with.

shinoff2183507d ago (Edited 507d ago )

Its obvious your just hating levii92. You can call last of us whatever the f you want Ill call it one of the best games Ive played. Also if you cant see the huge drastic difference in graphics between a ps3 and subsequent remaster to ps4 which didnt change the looks to much to a remake for ps5 where the graphics are phenomenal then thats on you lil guy. And its far from a walking simulator Id guess you never even played it.

Truth is the last of us is fantastic and if you dont wanna pay that much for it wait, if you even play ps which I doubt. It was just 50 bucks everywhere. Im still waiting until its 30 or so cause I dont like to spend over 30 40 bucks on any games these days.

On the bright side atleast you can stand in the corner or something cause I know the other system doesnt have alot going on these days.

TheEnigma313507d ago

Bitter because your console can't produce games lol.

SonyStyled507d ago

Levii, does it bother you that the remake came out 9.25 years after the original? Would your balls not be squeezed as hard if it was delayed 9 months?

Rocosaurus507d ago

You are not wrong. The probably two biggest ps5 exclusives next year are the second chapter of FF7 (remake) and Knights of the old Republic (remake).

z2g507d ago

the last R+C (rift apart) was definitely way better than I wanted to give it credit for before playing. still one of the best, most impressive ps5 games imo.

badz149506d ago

the game is so good, the only flaw I want to highlight is the fact that it's a little bit short for my liking. I want more of it damn it!

Sly Cooper celebrates 20 years today

From PS Blog: "Happy 20th birthday, Sly Cooper! Today we are so happy (and a little bit shocked) to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus! Where does the time go? Originally shipped on September 23, 2002 for PS2, this was Sly’s original adventure (known as Sly Racoon in some parts of the world) and our studio’s first-ever PlayStation game!

Before we ready our party hats and cake, we have some brand new Sly Cooper merchandise to reveal today to celebrate the milestone. But first we wanted to look back on Sly’s legacy across the whole franchise and share memories from some of our team who helped shape Sly Cooper into the series we know and love, back when some of them had a little more hair or a little less gray in it."

Great series. Sly is super popular here in Finland and I'm very happy about it.

SDuck574d ago

Sly Cooper was the only mascot I really liked. Jak and Dexter 1 was cool but nothing like a sneaky ninja racoon

Ninver573d ago

When is the remake? I'll take that over bare minimum remaster.

CobraKai573d ago

I remember playing one of them in anaglyph 3D.

Sly Cooper Deserved To Join the Age of Classic Platformer Revivals

It is dismaying that Sly Cooper will not be getting a reboot soon, especially when other classic platformers are enjoying a renaissance.

You can add Wild Arms to that list as well

Rocosaurus657d ago

Absolutely. Sly cooper is deserves a comeback.

Bathyj655d ago

I'd rather have another infamous, but I'd rather have another Ghost of Tsushima first

Only.so many hours in the day.

1Victor655d ago

Sucker punch recently said in their 25th anniversary no infamous or sly for now they’re busy with their new games but maybe in the future

Unfortunately they got no plans for infamous of sly 😢

RaveTears655d ago

PlayStation can just commission Sly Cooper and Infamous to another Studio to remake it.

NecrumOddBoy655d ago

Sly Cooper got a remastered collection and a new game Thieves in Time for PS3. It didn’t bite unfortunately. There were also rumors of a television show but that seems to have fallen off. I love Sly but I don’t know what would trigger a resurgence for the series.

Demetrius655d ago

I would love sky cooper to make a return I remember first playing band of thieves man I swear yo it had one of the dopest vibe, the atmosphere the music, it was funny too
