/joke

EDIT: really? disagrees? come on Guy's it was a joke calm down

Neonridr3500d ago

sadly I agree with you. I am hoping for something stellar for the PS+ for PS4. To be honest though, I have so many other games on the go right now that it probably doesn't even matter what they give us. I will download it but it'll get lost in the shuffle and maybe 2 months from now I will play.. lol

That being said, I still expect the PS4 to get 2 indie titles again for October.

xHeavYx3500d ago (Edited 3500d ago )

@Rarity
You may be joking, but silly people like Neonridr take it seriously.
People who expect free AAA PS4 games, even though the PS4 hasn't been out for even a year, should stop playing video games and go read a book

spacedelete3500d ago

@xHeavYx your a fool. no one is asking for triple A games. just something that doesn't look like it could run on a cell phone. something like Rayman legends as that game flopped, Thief another flop, a cheap priced game like assassin's creed freedom cry or even a PS3 remaster like Tomb Raider. stop assuming people are asking for games like Destiny or Battlefield4. if anyone is ignorant its you.

xHeavYx3500d ago

@spacedelete
You're* a fool, fool

GameNameFame3500d ago (Edited 3500d ago )

DriveClub is indie?

Coulda fooled me. Looked like AAA game.

rxl2093500d ago

whats funny is back before desperate xbox fanboys needed a reason to discredit sony we called indie games "arcade titles" and they were considered a good thing

RedDevils3500d ago

Tbh I rather have a shit review full game than indies game, which who know I might like it than those called AAA game

Gazondaily3500d ago

You guys do realise that since becoming a mandatory service to play games online, Sony is under far less pressure to deliver 'big' titles under Plus right? It's just common sense. Also, there isn't that big a back catalogue for the PS4 anyway considering it's only been available for just under a year.

Mind you, I wouldn't mind a Rayman game.

frezhblunts3500d ago (Edited 3500d ago )

It makes me laugh because complain worse about other companies that give less and don't even charge for internet... smh

frezhblunts3500d ago

I agree with both Neon and space delete there are better indie games to put on there then the crappy ones Ive seen besides strider (capcom not indie) and out last

Alsybub3500d ago (Edited 3500d ago )

@rxl209

I don't understand your point or why you need to reference Xbox.

Also, the reason people called them 'Arcade' was because of the 'Xbox LIVE Arcade' brand. Which preceeded Sony's offerings by quite some time. Microsoft started the push for smaller devs to produce games for the LIVE service on the OG Xbox in 2004 and they marketed the games as 'Arcade'.

Before then these devs had been known as Indies or Bedroom Coders for a very long time. Sony was involved with that with the Net Yaroze PS1 ( http://www.psxdev.net/), which was a beautiful machine. There was very little support from Sony during the PS2 era, until PS3 and the need to compete with LIVE Arcade. I can never understand why history is completely forgotten. To be honest it's fairly irrelevant anyway, but if people want to keep bringing it up they may as well educate themselves on the time line.

If you can give me a better explanation as to where the name 'Arcade' came from, as far as Indie titles are concerned, I will concede.

MoveTheGlow3500d ago

@Alsybub

Whoa! TIL! Very cool post.

Considering the PS4 hasn't been out for too long, and none of the current-gen consoles have that many games, you'd be expected to think the PS4 would have an indie PC port on PS Plus every month for a while until the big guys let their old stuff go. Yes, they actively pursued independent developers, as they did for years, but this time around it was super-important, because whether you're on an Xbox One or a PS4, AAA games aren't growing on a AAA Games Tree. They're more expensive to make, because they take more time from their visual effects/art staff, and hence they take longer also. No wonder we mostly saw "2015" on new games at E3, after all.

I wouldn't get in a bunch about it, guys. Next year will be awesome. Heck, February will be more awesome than this entire year for AAA games.

ShadowWolf7123500d ago

@Alsybub

And you just answered your own question.

The point of that is that the Xbox fanboys were all over the "XBL Arcade" and never once derided all the titles that would be published under it. They were "Arcade" titles and so were good.

Then Sony started getting more of them, and suddenly it's a negative and something used to criticize and attack the PS4 for having an abundance of. "Indiestation 4" has become a common insult.

Which is funny as MS actually made an Xbox designed with Arcade titles (read: INDIES) in mind.

zeuanimals3499d ago

@spacedelete:

So you don't want good games, you want something like Thief? Something that's been universally panned and is at like a 50 on metacritic? Sorry, I'll take a new, fun indie over that garbage.

ThunderPulse3500d ago

Indie titles are just a cheap alternative SONY keeps shoveling on us when they know we want retail PS4 titles.

Revengeance3500d ago

LOL you gotta love these entitled people. Did you expect to get any retail games for free in less than a year? If so, you're gullible.

DarXyde3500d ago (Edited 3500d ago )

Do you understand that, as long as you have a subscription, you are getting FREE games? Neither of these companies have to do this, you know. Sony also places standards on the titles you get where they aren't going to give you really bad games. In fact, anything on plus has been overall positively received.

Stop being so entitled. You're like the guy who complains about free food at a reception. Be grateful you get anything and it's not awful.

elsuperamigo3500d ago

I cant believe people you guys are getting free games!!_5 years ago you didn't got nothing and some of you were paying for live sony came whit this idea and even microsoft copy it and people like me who have ps3 ps vita,ps4 we been loving ps plus since the beginning

KwietStorm_BLM3500d ago

lol why do you think people have to calm down just because they hit disagree? We finally know Driveclub comes out next month, but you didn't put that in there. Who knows, maybe Secret Ponchos will be in there too. Oh yea but that's an indie, so I guess that's bad, right?

lelo2play3500d ago

He did put Driveclub in there.

"Ps4: demo,Indie,Indie"

Driveclub PS+ version is the demo... extended demo, but still a demo.

rarity3500d ago

I never said Indies were bad nor did I say I didn't like Indies. "lol why do you think people have to calm down just because they hit disagree?" because my comment was a joke and they took it seriously like you're doing now.

wsoutlaw873500d ago

so now getting a version of a brand new game is bad just because you want to call it a demo?

Chris123500d ago

You cannot be serious. Marketing a demo as a PS+ version and sticking it behind a paywall still makes it a demo. MS would be crucified for this.

Sony are clearly incapable of doing anything wrong and the fanboys are lapping it up like sheep.

snookiegamer3500d ago

@chris12

'Sony are clearly incapable of doing anything wrong and the fanboys are lapping it up like sheep'.

Are you actually being serious!?! ...or is the lack of maturity in your comment totally representative of the numbers after your name?

..actually, I know of 12 year olds with more common sense, so I won't insult them like that.

*Most people would be happy to get Driveclub as part of their PS+ membership...and you have the audacity to mention the words 'Microsoft' & 'Paywall' to strengthen your misguided, pathetically weak argument.

Chris123499d ago

@snookiegamer

Muhahaha, what a laugh. ''Most people would be happy to get Driveclub as part of their PS+’. You're not getting Driveclub you sheep, you're getting a demo. Get it? The one behind a paywall so people like me who don't have PS+ can't play it. But it's all OK because Sony are great regardless.

Roll on the disagrees, that's the nature of PS4 and N4G these days.

TKCMuzzer3499d ago

I was in the beta which I imagine is what PS+ members will get for free. It's way more than a demo, I played it every night for the time I had it, can't remember any demo offering me that kind value.

Not laughing at a joke that wasn't funny doesn't mean I'm taking it seriously.

JVIV3500d ago

DarXyde is dumb I want good games not these cheap stupid indie games that I can play on my stupid nokia flip phone. DarXyde I bet deep inside you want good games as well but you're one of those people that tell others to share food with the poor and youre really the one pigging out. stop being a TROLL!

poor_cus_of_games3500d ago

You're the troll here. I am also sick of listening to these self entitled, spoilt brats that want nothing but AAA games for free. Yes I also would like them but come on be reasonable.

Future_20153500d ago

I played the demo of forza horizon 2 and played drive club at an event as well but forza horizon 2 is wayyyy better than drive club because its non restricting where you can drive and the car selection is so much better as well and lastly the graphics are really good as well but both games are 30fps which is meh

snookiegamer3500d ago

I agree FH2 is an awesome fun open world racing game....

But, how can Forza Horizon 2 be better than Driveclub, when it is subjective?

It would have been better you typed 'IMO' FH2 is waaaaaay better than Driveclub! Instead of pimping your propaganda..and 30fps isn't 'meh' for a driving/racing game, it's just not as good as 60fps.

Sub 30fps is meh....actually!

TKCMuzzer3499d ago

Believe it or not my friend, many people who are into racing games don't want to be able to drive across fields, they like the challenge of actually keeping the car on the road.
Plus playing a demo at an event can not be compared to playing a demo in front of your own TV, your not time restricted for starters, so have plenty more time to judge.

CuddlyREDRUM3500d ago

Rarity was talking about Driveclub basically being a demo. It has ten cars and one general location.

TKCMuzzer3499d ago

If it's anything like the beta then believe me it's way better than a demo.

HAC5223500d ago

this is true. people who disagree are literally blind. thislll get disliked also

ramiuk13500d ago

haha.

on a serious not i dont care this next month,
i have way to many games to play over the next 8 weeks i wont have time probably

WickedLester3500d ago

I'd love to see Sony offer Knack and/or Octodad as freebies for PS4.

Also for software update 2.0, I'd love for Sony to surprise us and give us MP3/CD support and custom soundtrack support (just in time for Driveclub).

callahan093500d ago

Really happy that Driveclub "lite" will be available to PS+ members on October 8. That snuck up on me, that's sooner than I thought we'd get it for PS+ members! Not sure why, because that's pretty much when it comes out in stores, so it makes sense, but good on Sony for getting it out to PS+ so close to the game launch.

I like that we still get all other PS+ selections normally as well, and this is in ADDITION to the normal stuff we get each month. Very nice!

chaosx3499d ago

Wont be this month but Its almost been a year Killzone will be free on PS+ when Xbox 1 releases Halo MCC.

Till then Indies all round

Axonometri3500d ago

Hmm, wonder what caused the push out one week. Hopefully something big that needed finalizing.

the_dark_one3500d ago

well provably to coincide with the release of driveclub on de 8 october

Muzikguy3500d ago

I like that logic you got there, probably because of DC

ScottyHoss3500d ago

If the DC PS+ edition is what they are giving us I'll be a little disappointed. That's unlikely of course.

wsoutlaw873500d ago

@Scotty we already know we are getting the plus version of driveclub and the normal 2 games

xilx3500d ago

It's actually only one day, so it's not too bad (first tuesday of the month is the 7th)

Axonometri3500d ago

Oh you know, I did not see that. Thanks.

GuruStarr783500d ago

September was a great month for Vita, hope we get another good month in October!

porkChop3499d ago

I was actually really surprised. Most months the Vita gets crap from PS+ but September gave us 4 really great games for Vita.

gamerfan09093500d ago

Hopefully this month is better than the last 6 or so months. One of the only reasons I still keep my PS3 is because of PS+ and some backlog of games I haven't played yet. If the rest of the year is as bad as the last couple of months I'll just trade in my PS3 to gamestop and take the 100+ bucks and put that towards a PS4 or a Iphone 6+.

blackblades3500d ago (Edited 3500d ago )

Your statement doesn't make sense. If you have a backlog of games that you haven't played yet, why would you trade your ps3 in. Another note why are you people so depended ps+ anyways. Be satisfied of what your get, they're not going to put older games on it or games under 80 or 70 because of people complaints.

URNightmare3500d ago

XperiaZ3 > GalaxyS5 > iphone6

Spinal3500d ago (Edited 3500d ago )

Loooool iphone 6 plus > all android phones. Sales prove it. Over 10 mil in a weekend. Name an Android phone that's done that.

I'll wait.....

TKCMuzzer3499d ago (Edited 3499d ago )

@Spinal
Well done, your exactly who Apple rely on, give yourself a pat on the back.
Sales do not equal quality. The iphone 6 technically lags behind Android phones from months ago but luckily for Apple, the pen door is open and they are letting you walk right in, sheepdog not required.

DLConspiracy3499d ago (Edited 3499d ago )

@spinal

I know at least one of these console companies would love to release consoles every year based on hype and popularity just like apple.

CRASHBASHUK3500d ago

driveclub ps+ in oct a decent ps+ game

dodgemoose3500d ago

A bit more than decent I'd say.

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

rlow19h ago

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos7h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos5h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje5h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum8h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum3h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola2h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum2h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola2h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum1h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad4h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola2h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos2h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai4h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK4h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

MrBaskerville21m ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
