PlayStation Plus: Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition & Tomb Raider Free for Members

By Kristine Steimer: "I think the best way to start off any new month is with two free PlayStation Plus games. For March we have Dead Nation: Apocalpyse Edition for your PlayStation 4 and Tomb Raider for your PlayStation 3. If you’re unfamiliar with the original Dead Nation, it’s a top-down twin-stick shooter that’s best experienced with a friend. Make sure you’ve got a strategy and plenty of items before you head out to take down hordes of zombies. The Apocalypse Edition was just announced last week, will be hitting PlayStation Store tomorrow, and it has some interesting benefits like an interactive live streaming option."

Tomb Raider is a lot of fun. I got the collectors edition for $20, but free is always better

GarrusVakarian4120d ago (Edited 4120d ago )

Im looking forward to Dead Nation tomorrow, i didn't play it on PS3. I think i'll stream it to see what the viewer interactivity is like.

@Neonridr

Feel free :)

Neonridr4120d ago

lol, maybe I'll check in to see what it's like.. ;)

Mikelarry4120d ago

...... i reread your comment 3 times and i am still scratching my head why you got disagrees?

GarrusVakarian4120d ago (Edited 4120d ago )

@Mike

Because they're jelly bellies.

FunAndGun4120d ago

because of your avatar, I'm gonna send you all the zombie clowns you can handle...Get those guns ready! :P

Omar914120d ago

Too bad no one watches my live streams :(

GarrusVakarian4120d ago

@omar

Hardly anyone watches mine either, i had like 8 viewers on a Tomb Raider livestream a couple weeks back, but that's it lol.

I think i will get more on Dead Nation though, seeing as not many people will have it and some people might not even know it's on the store. New games always get lots of viewers.

AceBlazer134120d ago

What's your psn i might watch your stream.

GarrusVakarian4120d ago

@AceBlazer

Same as my N4G username. I don't know what time it will be up on the PS store but im in the UK, GMT.

FamilyGuy4120d ago

Dead Nation is AWESOME.
Definitely better to play with a friends, it's full of great moments and hectic game play. Lots of strategy involved too, gotta know what you should upgrade and where best to lay your proximity mines, conserving your flares, etc

On top of all the the ambiance so amazing! Its cold, dark streets, moaning sounds of zombies echoing from behind a corner, suspenseful music at the right times.

I already played the hell out of this and I'm still excited to play it again.

hkgamer4120d ago

I think I've only had a couple of views on my livestreams. it's kinda hard to tell because I play on fullscreen and would never know if someone is actually watching.

Irishguy954120d ago (Edited 4120d ago )

It's pretty fun, it was overhyped back in the day as some sort of Left 4 Dead killer, but still, it's a fun game. Play it with a friend.

I've played both these games already, so it's a bad month for PS+ For me. However it's the first month in a long time where I had played everything

I am playing it on the PS4 currently. Didn't have a PS3, so I figured I would support the developer and get the "definitive version". Nice that PS3 people get it for free.

Dead Nation isn't screaming out at me or anything, but I will pick it up and grab a buddy to give it a playthrough.

Darth Gamer4120d ago

Dead Nation is one of the best top down shooters I've played. Lots of fun and better with a friend co-op. I can't wait to grab it again tomorrow for free and check out the new features.

Oschino19074120d ago (Edited 4120d ago )

Dead Nation has great atmosphere (park area especially with clowns is my favorite, hilarious and creepy) and something worth playing through a few times to try all the weapons and upgrades along with searching for hidden areas.

With the Road of Devastation dlc added you get some new areas and content to fight with and more of a round based gameplay but with a unique twist.

I assume it will look amazing on ps4, although it already looked great on ps3. Wish they had a little extra to add but hopefully they bring back global national leaderboards, it will be fun to compete with other countries again and watching the stats compile in real time.

Neonridr4120d ago

@ramiuk1 - who was that directed at? Nobody is playing the PS4 version of Dead Nation yet, the guys above are simply commenting on how good the PS3 version is. The PS3 version is already available and has been for some time.

Gorilla_Killa_X4120d ago

@ramiuk1, I believe he was referring to Tomb Raider as he was responding to the first poster. Tomb Raider is awesome and I too missed out on PS3, but am loving it on PS4.

Dead Nation is alot of fun but you gotta play with others. It not as fun by yourself.

Neonridr4120d ago

@Gorilla_Killa_X - after reading my comment I see how he might have gotten confused. I never said Tomb Raider in my comment, and since Dead Nation existed on the PS3 too, it was a little vague.

I probably wasn't going to get the definitive edition until it became cheaper, but hey I'll take the PS3 version free anyday! PS+ is amazing! I still have Bioshock Infinite to play, now this too? Excellent!

Waiting for Infamous:SS isn't too hard when I still have PS3 games to burn through :-)

Who doesn't want to play Tomb Raider substandard edition?

MysticStrummer4120d ago

You set yourself up there, but I'll resist the temptation.

sAVAge_bEaST4120d ago

I have played neither Dead Nation, nor Tomb Raider,. Stoked for both.

Darth Gamer4120d ago

Both are fantastic games! You will have a blast playing both and being free makes them that much sweeter.

hkgamer4120d ago

Tomb raider is a great game. Probably not a game for original tomb raider fans but definitely a great game.

PrinceOfAllSaiyans4120d ago

I missed out on Dead Nation for PS3. So this is cool. I'll be checking it out tomorrow. PS+ is the best.

Tomb Raider 12 has an almost perfect Lara Croft blueprint thanks to Netflix

Crystal Dynamics have a nearly perfect Lara Croft blueprint for Tomb Raider 12 thanks to Netflix’s Survivor and Legend characteristics.

That's not even a good template 😞 ugh this is gonna suck

Killer2020UK241d ago

What's gonna suck?

This is an opinion piece that has zero bearing on production of the hypothetical 12th installment of Tomb Raider.

Sciurus_vulgaris243d ago

The animated Netflix series is a sequel to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Also, Netflix distributed this show, the company uses external production companies for most of its content. The show doesn’t provide a template for Crystal Dynamics [who was credited in production of the show], the Lara in the show is the one from the 2013 reboot series, and wasn’t reimagined for the show.

mastershredder242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

A perfect buleprint to be considered for awards you mean. Yeah, this will pander perfectly.

SimpleDad242d ago

If they want to lose money... sure, the blueprint is perfect.

Hayley Atwell says it would be a "dream" to play Lara Croft again

"To continue to be involved or to be involved in another way with [Lara Croft] would be an absolute dream and also a responsibility I would take seriously given how beloved and known she is…" the Marvel star tells GamesRadar+.

live-action Atwell? ... during early 2010s she would've nailed it ... but now ... dunno man

Nacho_Z242d ago

I know what you mean, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing her play a slightly more mature version of the character. She's only 42 so still fine for all the action scenes.

Elantregaless242d ago

Get Brie Larsen to play new 'Lara Croft'

Elantregaless241d ago (Edited 241d ago )

Shh. Play along. Trust the plan.

aaronaton242d ago

The series is an abomination, and if she had anything about her, having read the script..... she should of declined.

cloganart242d ago

It sounds like you are just mad the show Lara's bosom is not as big as your triangle titty delusions.

Michiel1989242d ago

Lara is a fullblown lesbian crybaby in the anime, another character that was completely a ladies man has been made gay and is now her bff moral support, surely we only care about her tits instead of character development.

cloganart242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

@Michiel1989

All you chuds care about is sexuality and gender, it's hilarious. You've turned into the SJWs you've targeted and hated, getting triggered by anything and everything 🤣 https://i.imgur.com/dMBfwtF...

Michiel1989242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

Okay I didn't know that but what about the rest I said?....Lara was one of the strongest most badass protagonist in gaming and now she just cries half of the show. If that's a version of Lara that you want, more power to you, it's not for me.

and you care only about others caring about boobies. The only one who is talking about her tits is you my man. He said something about script and you started talking about her boobs.

The classical "you're just triggered" argument so you don't have to reply anything substantial and just say that, that's the sign of someone losing a discussion and not knowing what to say.

mastershredder242d ago

The most sickening part of all of this is not even that the IP is getting gutted not to be inclusive, it’s ONLY done so to be considered for awards and a funding for the next project. That’s it. It’s as pointless as a fortune 500 company virtue signaling during pride month. The bottom line is they will do the compliance dance and shell out anything to continue the cash flow, Just like the willing this VO actress people are fanning up to ^.

Also, who give a 7uck what the voice actress thinks or what she’s doing? This site is about games., not voice actors day dreams.
