“Independent developers are vital to the heart and soul of the gaming community and we understand the hardships and financial struggles that many smaller gaming studios are facing. With that, SIE has developed a fund to support them during this time. We have earmarked $10 million to support our independent development partners.“
Look I think this was a great move, 2 free great games to play for free? Awesome!.... but... why journey? I'm just curious.. don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it's really short, not really the best release to try to keep people in and playing.. UNLESS.. and hear me out here.. they are going to be releasing a sequel and are using this as a way to advertise the original. THAT would be cool and yes I know about abzu but I mean more along the lines of a journey too, but sadly i'm probably just thinking about it too much.
@ Sono41 not just 2 games, uncharted collection has 3 full games with trophy support. those are 4 games in total!! Journey is a excellent game. and believe me, Journey is short but awesome and 3 uncharted you got yourself 3 or 4 weeks of pure gaming and if you hunt trophy, that's more than enough.
It's an awesome experience. Put aside 2-3 hours before you play it and make sure you play it through in one sitting. So much more impactful and well worth it.
I have both of those but thanks for the gesture Sony. You didn’t have to offer anything at all. I wonder when the guy that wants to know why it isn’t a new game on offer will show up.
Hate to be that guy 🥴🤗😂 but joking aside it is a decent offering all really good games hence I bought them all previously and even downloaded the free digital copy from ps+ the other month but don’t see anyone else offering similar and it’s free what’s to grumble over. All I would say is they can clearly see who has and hasn’t downloaded/purchased previously, I feel they could have offered us some alternative just one woulda done or a 10% off code for the store or something but hey ho. I’ve lost nothing it’s not the end of the world nice bonus for everyone else. Really enjoyed journey and well uncharted just gets better and better looking forward to going back through them all again soon. I say all not actually played 4 yet 😅🤗😂 29299;
It's past 6pm of april 15th here and the free games are nowhere to be found. Uncharted 3 standalone edition is still labeled at 100€ and Uncharted 2 at 0€, except when you click on it you don't even have a button to purchase it, wtf, lol. Ah, SIE Europe...
Eh. The original games had spongey enemies, and 2 introduced a horrible stealth system. Not to mention that, I felt, even the climbing mechanics weren't perfected by the third game.
I can't take anything from the legion of fans, nor the awards given, but I didn't see the magic others apparently did.
Although I have the original PS3 games and the remastered collection, this is still a great gesture from Sony. I will let my non gamer news friends know that they can download the entire 4 part Uncharted series, and play all the way through.
Maybe next month they will give us Uncharted The Lost Legacy, fingers crossed, although I own that too I wouldn't mind a digital copy.
But U2 was and is universally praised as a major improvement over the first. Sure Uncharted was a little rough but you should have seen potential in the product.
Great series and also charts the evolution of one Sony's best qst party studios.
This is a great gesture. The money for Indie Devs is fantastic. The only slightly disappointing thing is that Uncharted was just free on PS+ two months ago. I kind of wish they went with something else because of that.
That fund for Independent Developers is amazing. I hope they do like a game promotion where if you buy titles a part of it goes towards said fund! Would be great
There really is a casual force coming to PS4 because of this situation, my little brother is one of them. And these games are perfect for that group of new players coming in.
Sony has been on top of their corona response. They were the first to start backing out of public events they have been generous with the support of their workers they were leaders in the charge to protect internet health and now they are giving back to the players.
Well thanks Sony!
Cool. I still haven't played Journey so I guess I can now.

It says Knack 2 and Journey for Germany and China, do we UK get any games too or is this N.America,Germany and China only ?
