Man, we all win this month. That's a solid lineup of games on both sides!

Cdn_Seahawks_Fan3569d ago

Gotta say that it's a great time to be a gamer. Sure, not all the "free" games are great, and some I have played, but having those games on that list that I never really thought of, or just never gave a chance, and now they offered with my online subscription, makes them ALL something to play.

MercilessDMercer3569d ago

Daaaaaaaaamn those are impressive line ups!!

COGconnected3569d ago

I give the nod to MS this month. I cannot fire up Tomb Raider fast enough. What a great game to get for free, or rather with gold.

raggy-rocket3569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

Please don't start this. We were all getting along so well. Please don't start another thread of lists of games 90% of which the commenters have probably never even hard of, paragraphs of hate and fact checking and stat posting and sales figures being deep-throated and the cowpat piles of 'indiestation' and 'xboners' being thrown across the thread at eachother and the donwplaying of exclusives

Topics like this are literally ONLY based in opinion. Some people, and there's plenty, don't give a toss about tomb raider, crysis, deer god etc and some people only care about titles such as super time force etc (amazing game btw). You decide as an individual gamer. The title 'showdown' just shows how journalists love to create arguments.

Personally, I prefer Xbox's this month, but I've played all of the ones given away except Deer god, PS has more stuff I haven't played except STFU (not that kind of STFU), so I can't really decide on who has best quality to me, but from what I know, have played and have seen of all of the games, Xbox takes it for me this month. Loved Crysis 3, Tomb raider I loved and I must have spent over 150 hours on battletstation pacific as a kid

Paulhammer3569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

Did you bother reading the article? It specifically says that there are a ton of great free games this month, but that tomb raider is the type of AAA title you don't often see on these lists.

Also see that the article is tagged as an opinion piece.

Spotie3569d ago

I'm gonna call BS. Then I'm gonna invite you to see just how many such games have been available thus far.

@ raggy

1st of all you never played Super Time Force Ultra, you played Super Time Force, it's different. Ultra is a different version of the game, a better version.

2nd, do you realize you are countering your argument that xbox had the better month by describing how much you have played all the games with gold prior to them being free? So many ppl have played Tomb Raider between the original and the definitive edition i can't imagine that it's a great addition for many, for the 10 million that have already played it. Do u think ur the only 1 to have played out 3 of the 4 GwG games? That lessens the value considerably, considering 3 of the 6 PS+ games are new releases PlayStation obviously doesn't have that problem.

Battlestations is almost 7 yrs old, it released in 2009, are they really giving 6-7 yr old games on GwG still? Imo Battlestations is a very poor addition.

PS+ has a considerably better lineup imo, it gives you 4 quality PS4 games while GwG gives you 1 quality xbone game.

You get 6 games with PS+ compared to 4 with GwG.

3 new releases with PS+ compared to 1 with GwG.

When PS+ gave us Crysis 3 and Tomb Raider free over a yr ago i had already owned them. Over a yr later i'm sure many xbox users will have the same problem.

It's a better month than many of the spring/summer have been for GwG, but PS+ clearly has the better selection this month. 6 good games. La Mulana, STFU, and Twisted Metal were the highlights for me until i played Teslagrad, that game is phenomenal. I adore this month.

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.

The Netflix show was trash though…

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

Killer2020UK242d 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_vulgaris244d 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.

mastershredder243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

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

SimpleDad243d 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_Z243d 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.

Elantregaless243d ago

Get Brie Larsen to play new 'Lara Croft'

Elantregaless242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

Shh. Play along. Trust the plan.

aaronaton243d ago

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

cloganart243d ago

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

Michiel1989243d 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.

cloganart243d ago (Edited 243d 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...

Michiel1989243d ago (Edited 243d 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.

mastershredder243d 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.

Im going to miss the new lara croft design, i hope they don't change that much from the last game.

RavenWolfx297d ago

I liked her reboot look as well.

OtterX297d ago (Edited 297d ago )
