The period after the holiday saw a lull for new media and game announcements, as is routine. As the summer blockbuster season and E3 come into focus, a vast marketing apparatus is finally creaking into action. This week was probably the most significant yet this year for game trailers, with three huge AAA titles taking their turns in the spotlight.
Which trailer was the most impressive?
Embark on a legendary dark fantasy adventure, mix tech and monsters for thrilling hunts, build a community of woodland worshippers, compete in two-wheeled races and more with August’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Wild Hearts, Cult of the Lamb, Ride 5 and more titles are playable from August 20 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members*.
We’re also announcing new classics – including the legendary TimeSplitters series – and PS VR2 game offerings coming to PlayStation Plus Premium
Replies(1)This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.
Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.
Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games
Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.
At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.
This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies
Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.
14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.
They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..
How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on
PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.
And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.
Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.
Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.
For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.
Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.
I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.
I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did
Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!
Amazon has announced the lineup of games to be added to Prime Gaming for the month of August, 2024 and it features Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
The PS4 suffers from no shortage of great RPGs. From expansive open world ventures to fully realized fantasy offerings, there's a lot to try.
The Witcher 3 just looks unbelievably good. Hats off to CDprojeckt for making such an astonishingly beautiful looking game.
I have been waiting for a sequel to Human Revolution so the Mankind Divided trailer was also epic and i am sucker for Deus Ex.
So...
Both The Witcher 3 and Mankind Divided are a day one for me. Cant say the same about Black Ops 3.
The trailers for Witcher 3 and Deus Ex were amazing
The Black Ops 3 trailer is just a teaser, doesn't show me anything
Both Deus Ex and Witcher 3 had great trailers. Although it's hard to say, but I think I'll go and say that Witcher 3 had the better trailer, since it was all actual gameplay. Deus Ex's trailer was just CG, but it was also very impressive and had amazing music.
Also, Witcher 3's trailer had a little humour in it, especially this part:
Vampire: "Is it 1358 yet?"
Geralt: "No."
Vampire: "Then f*** off!"
As for Black Ops 3, it's just a teaser, so there's nothing to go on. I'm not as much a CoD fan, anyway.
Witcher 3 hands down. We've seen enough to know that the end product will be pretty much as advertised. Deus Ex was impressive and hopefully the gameplay will be on par.
There was nothing but audio that was telling. We shall see.
Deus ex for me..the whole presentation captures the essence of deus ex franchise so perfectly.. you know Illuminati , augmentation , cyberpunk world in a golden palette and all those stuff. Hopefully the gameplay would also be epic , can't wait for it.
