Oh, that's a nice surprise.

uptownsoul2499d ago

yeah this is pretty good...Nice month

RpgSama2499d ago

Until dawn is a great addition to PS+, will definitely try it.

Gazondaily2499d ago

Oh snap sick month! Was gonna get Until dawn as well. NICE!

Damn...best month so far this year?

pinkcrocodile752499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

WARNING: I've played Until Dawn, if you like teenagers with big mouths and what I can only describe as hateful personalities with punchable faces, you will love it.

I fortunately am not a teenager I'm all grown up and have son's who are now (apart from the youngest) teenagers and luckily we taught them not to be dismissive, hateful b@st@rds to others.

This game while brilliant in it's gameplay features characters I would happily see murdered over and over again.

However there is a silver lining for those of you who might have the same reaction as I did. You can play with an attempt to get certain people killed which based on the teens in this, is nothing short of joyous.

That's just my two pence worth :D

pinkcrocodile752499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

I have to say I'm impressed with PS4's free game line up. My husband stopped paying for the PS+ but I think he may revisit that decision in a month or so.

However he is sat across the room playing Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 year Anniversary edition (nice book that came with it btw) and he had said this and I'm typing it verbatim.

"Oh my god this game is AMAZING, it is better than all of the Uncharted Games INCLUDING Uncharted 4".

Now I've had a go at Uncharted and while I'm a bit shite at it I will admit that it was brilliant, however I never thought I'd hear my hubby diss uncharted in favour of Tomb Raider.

Just goes to show, everyone's got an opinion.

pinkcrocodile75: "if you like teenagers with big mouths and what I can only describe as hateful personalities with punchable faces, you will love it.

I fortunately am not a teenager I'm all grown up BLA BLA BLAH BLAHHHHHHHHH..."

got nothing to do with "being a teenager", the game is exactly like an old school campy horror movie with all its cliche and thats totally assumed, so cut the "but me? im too grown up so yeah..." non sense.

the game is simply superb, and the cast is PERFECT! im 34, not too old for that, never will.

InMyOpinion2499d ago

From what I've played it's one of the best horror games ever, and the graphics are amazing. Can't wait!

pinkcrocodile752499d ago

@PeaSFor It's nothing like a campy horror as you called it. The Game mechanics are brilliant BUT the characters are fundamentally unlikeable. Hence my enjoyment at seeming them murdered.

Funny thing though, your "BLAH BLAH BLAH" comment is the same thing 3 of the characters in the game would say. I don't care if you're 34 or 14, it's nothing to do with age but attitude and a self entitled arseholery (think I invented a new word) that comes across. However the attitude is most prevalent in teen drama, teen horror etc etc etc.If my boys behaved like that in public they'd be grounded for a month.

I'm only 41 BUT I would have had the same reaction at 15. I knew people like these character in school and they are still detestable to this day.

BLAH BLAH.... My arse!

PeaSFor2499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

"It's nothing like a campy horror as you called it."

LOL

sonarus2499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

Ps plus games on PS3 were a 100x better than what we get for PS4. I could let it go when PS4 just launched not enough games to sustain it been over 4 yrs we should be getting at least launch titles by now.

This is what I want to see more off not backwards compatibility or cross play but just some cool free games to check out. Sony step your game up

1Victor2499d ago

Lol pinky never saw any movie like Friday the 13th cabin in the wood ,the cabin ,the hill have eyes ,if you seen or like any of those you'll like until dawn with a twist at the end you won't see coming.

morganfell2498d ago (Edited 2498d ago )

pinkcrocodile, you stealth troll poorly. Everyone made you in the first sentence.

And two words, Post History.

Until Dawn is a great party game. My neighbors come over and after grilling food and grabbing drinks one of us plays while everyone else is watching and shouting what to do or not do. Its hilarious. The wives and girlfriends are screaming and the guys are laughing.

And no one in the room is under 30 and they are having a blast.

XanderZane2499d ago

Right.. great month. Sony has given us 3 good months in a row now. Looks like they are back on track. All those gamers who cancelled their PSPlus subscription may want to give it another shot.

tyasia02499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

Who are all these gamesr who cancelled there PS+? What are you basing that statement on?

MrSec842499d ago

@tyasia0: To be fair I've been seeing quite a lot of comments on N4g, the PS Blog PS Plus articles for game updates and the YouTube videos whenever Plus games are announced.
XanderZane isn't wrong here, loads of people have made statements about being glad they didn't renew their subscriptions to Plus. IMO the games being added since PS4 launched have made my subscription worthwhile, especially when I was strapped for cash or I just wanted to play something different to the usual crop of stuff I would normally buy.

I almost bought Until Dawn cheap on Amazon the other week, glad I get to play it now.
I've bought quite a few games lately, as I've got some great deals, glad I didn't get Until Dawn by accident, great to see this being added.

uth112499d ago

@tyasia0

All the people who comment every month "more garbage, I'm cancelling my PS+ subscription! (yet again)" Needless to say, I doubt very many of them actually cancel.

2499d ago
Specter2292499d ago

I cancelled my subscription awhile back and while it is a great month much better than xbox I won't be restarting it. I'd rather just buy Until Dawn than pay a monthly subscription to be allowed to play it.

XanderZane2499d ago

@tyasia0
Read the forums dude. There were a lot of people who got frustrated with all the Indies and bailed. Maybe if you took a moment to come from under your bridge you would see what's going on.

@MrSec84
https://media.tenor.com/ima...

The last 3 months of PSPlus has been great. I never cancelled. My subscription is good until the end of the year. Very happy to finally be able to play Until Dawn.

Bought until dawn for $8 in January. My favourite PS4 exclusive so far. Good game

S2Killinit2499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

81BX2499d ago

Until dawn and uncharted 4.

XanderZane2496d ago

Good deal. Not going to buy it now, since it will be FREE this month. Watch to get Persona 5 for a good deal though. Already have Horizon Zero Dawn & Uncharted 4.

this is actually the first month in ages where i'm looking forward to the ps plus games more than gwg

XanderZane2496d ago

Yeah.. Microsoft kind of dropped the ball for July after have 4 great months in a row. I'm not mad though. Hopefully it will be better in Aug.

Good-Smurf2498d ago

PS+ Asia already had Until Dawn as free game before I don't know what kind of game we would get this month.

Bathyj2498d ago

Finally a decent full retail game. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come, it's been too long.

Mmm, thats mildly adequate!

Neonridr2499d ago

Until Dawn, nice. Too bad I already own it, but a must play for others. I guess I will pick up Game of Thrones.

Rimeskeem2499d ago

I got Until Dawn for 5$ on sale but GoT is a nice freebie.

-Ghost2499d ago (Edited 2499d ago )

Great month and i'm glad to see Until Dawn since Asia got it a few months back.

Until Dawn Remake PS5 Screenshots Reportedly Leaked

Leaked screenshots from Sony Interactive Entertainment and Ballistic Moon's upcoming remake of Until Dawn have reportedly emerged.

Battlestar2371d ago

Doesn't look any different to the ps4 version. Hope it's not another lazy Sony remaster a.k.a remake.

Andy_Dee71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Wrong, they even showed it on the last State of Play and I just played it the month before since I wanted to go back to it.

It does look better and more cleaned up, it's not a remake at least what they said. They said remaster so this article is wrong from the info I've heard.

Until Dawn is getting remastered to coincide with the live-action movie.

https://www.polygon.com/240...

https://youtu.be/pnbxcNmUcQ...

https://blog.playstation.co...

So not a Lazy remake and yes it looks better! :)

CrimsonWing6971d ago

It’s pretty different looking.

Neonridr71d ago

I'm sure it's a fair upgrade seeing as it's UE5 now. That being said, the original was not ugly by any stretch and I can't fully understand the need to remake this other than a cash grab to coincide with the movie that is coming eventually.

Crows9071d ago

Please point to me to a lazy remake?

Hedstrom71d ago

A good game, had some fps troubles on ps4. So hopefully thats ironed out with some better looking graphics.

solideagle71d ago

I think Sony should rename PlayStation to RemakeStation. I am a Playstation fan but this is getting ridiculous. I think this is the weakest gen software-wise compared to all other gen.

PS2 > PS3 > PS1 > PS4 > PS5

Battlestar2371d ago

Agreed. Sony has released only remasters/remakes of games and noting new. MS has released so many new games i don't have the time to name the all.

solideagle71d ago

I have never owned or cared about Xbox, so I don't have any opinion about that. if you say that MS has released then I believe you I guess

Terry_B71d ago

Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2 , Horizon Forbidden West to name a couple.

And what Microsoft released in the last couple of years was way beyond the league of those listed games.

MrNinosan71d ago

Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West to mention a few of the good ones.
Then everything on PSVR2.
Then we have the bad ones, like Destruction AllStars and medium ones like Sackboy: A Big Adventure.

On top of that, there are lots of third party games.

Compare that to MS.
Redfall, MS Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport, Starfield, HiFi Rush. Did I miss anything?

Now lets compare the games, and see which console had the best start this generation.

solideagle71d ago

I think Sony should have abandoned the PS4. we have not seen true PS5 potential yet. where are those games that would load Assets from SSD where the character is looking <-- Mark Cerny

I hope all new games from Sony Studios are PS5 only from now...

CrimsonWing6971d ago

What’s worse is this gen is almost over, if you can believe it.

staticall71d ago

@solideagle
I completely agree with you. At first it was like «Hey, so cool, i've never played this game and it's getting a remake, means it'll be much better!» but now it's «Come on, i was just playing that, it still looks and plays just fine». I want to play new games, try new experiences, hear new stories from new characters. It's like gaming companies have hired George Lucas as a consultant or something.

@Battlestar23
> MS has released so many new games i don't have the time to name the all
Suuuuuuuure, dude. Come on, be real.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro71d ago

Looks like the PS4 version. Lol, that'd be 70 bucks.

Machina70d ago

Cheap and quick way to fill in the release calendar in-between major new games - that's why pretty much all the major publishers have been doing it.

This is a fun game. But remaking this is lazy. A cheap remaster while a new game is being developed would have had more value for the customer.

EvertonFC86d ago

Yeah I here ya, I'm on the fence tbh as I think the haptics could be really cool but it seems a little early.
I guess it's to tie in with the movie release so makes sense somewhat.

outsider162486d ago

This over Killzone remake? Or Socom 2 remake?

monkey60286d ago

Less effort and there's a movie release to tie into.
I am very tired of all these remakes and remasters of games from recent years. If they're going to remake anything it should be a lot older.

Chevalier86d ago

If the Resistance trilogy on PS3 was being remade I would buy that day 1. Really hope the franchise returns along with Killzone

JEECE86d ago

Socom 2 remake wouldn't be worth the effort. I don't know the exact number it finally sold, but from looking at articles from a few years after launch, it looks to have gotten in the ballpark of 3 million. It has been twenty years now so many of those people probably don't even play games anymore, and the people who play multiplayer games now would start whining about Socom about three weeks after launch about how "there isn't enough content" and "they just sent it out to die." Granted, it would probably develop a small but dedicated player base from the old crowd who want a stable, solid multiplayer game instead of a live service, but that isn't a lucrative proposition for Sony.

EvertonFC86d ago (Edited 86d ago )

It was the same when millions of gamers asked for a sly remake then when the game came out it sold like 10,000 copies.
Sometimes we think we want the old games then in reality nobody ever buys it 😂🤣

outsider162486d ago

You have a point though. I guess we want it because of nostalgia. Was hoping we'd get a socom with a good single player and ofcourse multiplayer, maybe it'll sell well.
