Savage Moon doesn't do much to reinvent the tower defense genre, but so what? You get to blow bugs to smithereens. Sometimes, that's all you really need.
Recommendation: Tower defense junkies may feel like they've seen all of this before, and if you've tried the genre and found it not to your liking, this isn't going to win you over. But what Savage Moon does, it does very well.
From Xfire: "Just in case you missed it, Sony recently confirmed the rumors that they'd be shutting down the digital storefronts for their older consoles. In particular, the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita.
With the news now official, it might be a good idea to get your hands on the best exclusive PS3 games. Otherwise, obtaining these titles might become more difficult once the store closes later in July 2021."
Holding onto physical copies of Heavenly Sword, Puppeteer, Resistance 3, and Afrika(not listed in article).
You can always play them on PC using RPCS3: https://rpcs3.net/ Just have to torrent then games, also they will look so much better on PC as well, especially if you use reshade 🙃🎮
Which begs the question: how the **** have Sony not been able to get this sorted by now. The PS5 should be powerful enough.
I'm really upset I cannot access marvel vs capcom 2 on my ps3. If anyone has any tips please let me know hiw to download the game again as the filings currently listed as corrupt on my xmb. also in the market for an official ds controller or sixaxis so i can navigate safe mode on my ps3.
You can still re-download any content you own from the downloads list. The store front is going away but your downloads will stay available, hopefully forever.
I cant find it in my downloads and my transaction history is crashing when I load psn, have tried both on chrome on my s10 and on pc as well as Firefox and MS edge, wishbthey added a search feature in downloads list because I have thousands of purchases and it includes every bit of dlc, no organization really. I tried chatting and speaking with customer service but they were of no help at all. Gonna try again this weekend and just scroll all the way to the beginning. Gonna take all damn weekend.
PS Blog:
Hi everyone – we’re happy to announce the monthly games for April. Whether you’re looking to pilot a warship escaping from a dying star or survive zombie-infested London, we’ve got you covered.
First up we have Dead Star, a fantastic team-based space-shooter-meets-RPG that we are excited to have launch as a PS Plus title. Dreamed up by the folks at Armature Studio (founded by key members of the Metroid Prime team!), Dead Star is the result of a “wouldn’t it be cool if…” process that started with a space shooter foundation that builds in elements from strategy and RPG titles.
Zombi is actually a decent game nothing special, I actually bought it when it came out, and played it before on the Wii U..
It's a decent game, was better on Wii U because of the controller on the Wii U, using the second screen on controller for stuff was cool but the port was ok, it's still a decent game. It's a cool game to get for free..
And this would have been an awesome game if Multiplayer was done right where you could play with friends and stuff, but their is no coop-op or stuff like that.. So gets boring quick. And graphics might feel a little dated, it did come out years ago on the Wii U.
-But as a Free PSN game it's not that bad.
I'm all for it, its about time I took my proper survival horror game dose.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Geez, what is it with people in here?
If you like Zombi or not it has broken the indie only trend, hopefully this means Sony will now continue to deliver a AAA game each month for now on.
Zombi is a decent game, I paid real money for it on ps4.
You can please some of the people some of time, but not all of the people all of the time.
Resolution saw a bump on the PS4 and XB1 when it released, but I agree with you that it's basically the same game minus the best feature from the Wii U.
I was surprised by how good it was on WiiU and as far as I know, it's a solid port. It's a shame the framerate still sucks but you can't really complain when it's free!
@ PhantomTommy you would be surprised, I'm sure people will still complain even when it's free..
Being free (which isn't really in this case) doesn't mean it is free of its shortcomings. Zombi being free means that i might try it, doesn't mean that i'll enjoy it.
It's not free. It's called "instant game collection" for a reason. These games are more like long-term rented games.
OK you guys are right it's not technically free but if you HAVE to pay to play online, then getting a couple games to play on the side ain't too bad. You guys keep asking for the triple A stuff but do you really want Killzone: Shadowfall and Knack that bad? Cos that's what you'll get.
Really bad I quit half way through. The combat is garbage, graphics look dull and dated, the story is boring, and there is 0 replay value. 5/10 Don't bother with this game.
I started playing it on Wiiu but also didnt really like it and put it down after a few hours. Ill give it a retry on Ps4 i guess.
I played it on PC, it was good. I remember it being real intense. Would be great for VR.
It comes down to a very interesting concept but the follow through didn't do well. Combat is awful and the guy yells every single time you swing your bat....
The whole, when you die you're dead thing and you need to run to get all your stuff back and fight your previous zombie, is really neat but the gameplay hinders how great the game could have been.
Zombi is an excellent game to get free on plus. I bought it on PSN and it's flawed, but entertaining survival horror nonetheless.
Dead Star
Zombi
Shutshimi
I am Alive
That's a nice 4/6 games imo. 2 AAA ish Ubisoft games and 2 incredibly fun looking indie shooters. I always wanted Shutshimi.
None of those is even near a AAA game to be honest. AAA means high budget and dont tell me Zombi is anything near that.
Dead Star doesn't look bad. It's Early Access on PC, but same day release and 'free' for PS+ on PS4. This is kind of similar to Rocket League, IMHO, only it depends if people want 10v10 PvP and customizable ship battles. It's games like this each month that I like because while I may not like the game, it gives me to the day of release to try out and half of the time it's worth keeping and playing and the other half it's either bad or an okay time waster.
Zombi is... meh. Fine, I'll take it, but... you know... it's just Zombi. It couldn't even afford the final letter and originally had a 'U' there. Zombies that can't even spell. What is the world turning into?!? /s
I Am Alive is a poor quality game, IMHO. I didn't like how it encouraged you to explore, but then penalized you for exploring. I just couldn't finish it.
Savage Moon is the definition of old and really not that great of a game. Generic tower defense with wasted graphics in a 3D world, to be honest.
Not a bad month, but I think we're getting to a point where PS3 game offerings just aren't holding up anymore because there just aren't any new games to pull from on it and developers are doing less and less with the PS3 as they move onto the PS4. Even PS Vita gets more support for it now, I think.
i quite playstation plus on my ps3. it was decent for quite a long time but support is getting very limited like you said. ps4 owners are starting to get shafted though. sony needs to mix it up, they are relying way too much on the indie games.
i guarantee if sony removed multiplayer as a requirement on the ps4 plus members would dwindle significantly. this is why sony never announced membership numbers before the ps4 came out.
I'm going to check it out as well. I have plenty of games to play so I'm never really looking forward to the month's freebies. It's nice when they give things that might be of interest though
its not good, well not for an AA-AAA game. Atleast on the Wii-U when i played it. Just look at the reviews, mediocre. I found it terrible myself but i suppose some could find it ok
It really boils down to what type of games you like. Most so called AAA games are of no interest to me since I only like Action/Adventure and RPG's and even then I can be very picky.
Many of the games I like are normally huge and take many hours to play. On the plus side I get the best value for money out of my purchase and on the minus side I don't really have the time or the inclination to play many other games.
At the moment I am dividing my time between The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne such that Dragon Age - Inquisition is not even getting a look in other than me completing the first part which is probably less then 1% of the game.
Very happy with Zombi. Been severely dissapointed for a long time with the PS4 offerings but this is a nice, welcome surprise.
The first somewhat decent game in some time and it's one I've already bought not 1 month ago...
sigh...
It was a great surprise for me. It was 500 yen (around 5 bucks) when I bought it, I was expecting a sub-par game and what I found was a true survival game. Think of it as Dead Island meets Dark Souls, because that is pretty much how the game works.
If you like hard games that challenge your skills, you're gonna love it. If you don't like having to get back your stuff if you die, you're gonna hate it.
It's a great game in my opinion, it's worth a try (especially if it's free).
the hate on psn-plus is getting pretty crazy. i guess all the ps4's selling and more gamers than ever to sign up for psn-plus is what's holding sony back
do you believe for a second MS would offer any AAA if it was over 21 million behind? yes that's what i thought
not defending plus but sony really doesn't have any incentive to make available AAA games
remember this past holiday season when MS had the best exclusive lineup ever tag line yet ps4 won 3 out of the 4 holiday months and the one it lost was only by 30k
get with the program people. it's common sense business wise
Might give Zombi a shot. For the most part will just still play The Division until Ratchet & Clank comes out.
Dark Souls III just a few weeks away... Hopefully the raid for Division comes out the week before, as DS3 will be taking a lot of people away if not.
Yeah and it's outdated time they offer a free online OS and let people pay for the extras if they want them.
Zombi.. not ZombiU
:P
It's not even good enough to have the U, a port missing the best feature.
Krontaar
So don't pay for it, maybe you should consider the ps3 and its free online so you don't need to pay for ps+.
o see now we get the well i don't like the AAA they picked crowd who also most of the time happens to be the same WHY NO AAA crowd.
it's a revolving door with these people.
It's not shovelware. It was a really solid game when it came out on wiiU. Play it on survival mode where one death means your permanently dead. Shit was intense.
Sadly, that's the best of the bunch (not saying much). At least it is a reasonable inclusion, though. Did you SEE the Vita games? Literal shovelware unlike your hyperbole.
I enjoyed Zombi so I think he should look forward to it. He may not like it when he plays it just like you didn't, but to say "it's bad" as a blanket statement is silly. Lots of people like the game.
Zombi was one of my fav survival horror games of this gen. Don't listen to these random haters that never played it. Also I'd suggest survival mode... one death means your permanently dead. Good luck... mwahahahaha
Seriously Sony?
Another month and another disappointed PS4 game selection for me and fans. They are once again blasted by PS4 owners at the Official PS blog with only 1 or 2 constant defenders for it. It is like they don't care about their customers' opinions.
They really need to step up their Plus game and provide some Old AAA titles more often as many people have no interest in all these indies. If not for the Incoming Uncharted 4 MP, I would have had cancelled the service late last year.
"for me and fans"
How do you know the fans won't like at least even 1? Not saying they are great but Zombi is like the only game some fans would like.
You are not a representation of all the PS+ subscribers. I actually want to play I am Alive.
The negative comments like yours every month make me always wonder why you want to get old aaa games?
I mean..I played these ages ago and while Zombi is one I didnt play, I look forward to Dead Star.
Old AAA games I haven't played or have had played but don't own is much better than cheap indies that I haven't played IMO.
Also, if you are looking it at a whole, out of 36 plus milions PS4 and many that have Plus, how many of them actually have games like Killzone SF, Knack, or inFamous? just like how many people have Thiefs and Sunset overdrive on XB1? Just because I might have some of them, is it really better not having AAA that are more popular and instead of just indies?
Even though I have KI season 1 and Sunset Overdrive already, I don't have Thief or Lord of the Fallen or many of those free BC X360 full retail titles. It is all about giving what the majority want and no doubt the majority on both services wants AAA titles more so than indies.
PSPLUS is needed for Online play, that is all I use it for. Free games every month are a nice touch, but I never touched Plus on PS3 because it was optional. People need to stop complaining like they are entitled to stuff for free.
Exactly. I haven't played any of these.
Also, I'm still playing Street Fighter Alpha 2, that came with Plus in March.
@Rookie Monster Are you serious complaining about free games who cares they are free. I mean what is the point in giving away AAA games most people already own. Zombi I have not played it yet so I dont have to buy it. I have never seen so many cheap people in my life complaining about free games. What most of you do not get it most of the games Sony offers is better games than the old AAA games. Go shut up and eat a cookie
"Are you serious complaining about free games who cares they are free."
Would you care if someone delivered a box full of horse sh!t to your door and dumped it on your front porch? Why complain, it's free horse sh!t.
"Sony offers is better games than the old AAA games."
I'm going to have to disagree, some of the games offered are not better than old AAA games.
@gangsta_red
"Would you care if someone delivered a box full of horse sh!t to your door and dumped it on your front porch? Why complain, it's free horse sh!t."
Rather stupid analogy. In the case of PS+ if you think the free game offerings are "horse sh!t" no one is forcing you to download them.
If someone actually dumped "horse sh!t" on my front lawn I would have every right to be pissed, however if I requested that "horse sh!t" be dumped on my lawn I have no one to blame but myself.
At least with downloading a game with respect to dumping horse crap you can easily remove the game but with horse crap removal is not easy and you most likely will be left with a bad smell that will upset the neighbours.
LMFAO!
What a meaningless and agenda-driven analogy.
Games you personally don't see value in vs. horse poop. One is objectively smelly, unhygienic and comes out of a horse's ass. The other is subjective consumer entertainment. Lawd!
bro if you want old aaa games go into any 2nd hand store or game stop and pick it up for 10 dollars >.>
But it's not for free...you have to be subscribed to ps plus to play them. however that's only for free games, the heavily discounted af games you can get by being a plus member you keep forever which l know a few people have saved heaps on
Like you said Uncharted 4 is the reason why you're keeping the service. That's the beauty and talent of Sony developer's they make great exclusives its difficult to cancel PS plus. I can't wait to hear what their first party developer are up to this E3. Sony is definitely delivering when it comes to new games and staying true to their identity. Can't wait for Nioh, Horizon, The Last Guardian, Uncharted 4, PSVR, and many more AAA exclusives this year. NTM Sony Bend and Sucker Punch new game is about to be announce soon. Sony should sell over 50 million consoles by the end of the year.
Dead Star looks awesome and it's brand new
Zombi was a AAA Ubisoft game with a solid metacritic
Shutshimi looks so crazy fun
I am Alive is a legit AAA-ish Ubisoft game
It's a good month actually.
@Pongwater
Not only were the games like Saints Row 4 & Sunset Overdrive better, but then all scored better then the Indie games Sony are releasing in April. If those same Indie games were being released on the XB1 you would be bashing them every chase you could get. Dead Star is probably the only decent game in the bunch, but it still doesn't come close to games like Dead Space & Sunset Overdrive. Not sure why this was "off_topic". We're discussing FREE PSPlus and GWG games. The article is about just that.
But what do you actually want? What so called AAA game would actually make you happy.
The Last of Us remastered, DriveClub with Motorcycle expansion, Tear Away Unfolded, MLB 15: The Show, King's Quest - Chapter 2, The Order 1886, etc...
Of course, only one of these are AAA, but I still wouldn't mind getting any of them for FREE.
***DriveClub with season pass***
No, please. Just... no. Tried the PS+ version, disliked the game a lot. I would rather get KZ Shadow Fall on PS+, a game I already own, than get Driveclub the full game.
YMMV, but that's how I see that one.
Edit: Also, it would be a huge slap in the face to people who bought the full game based on the PS+ version of it. Best to never have that on PS+ again unless it's like giving away all the DLC for free as well or something.
@beebap
I've been playing video games since 1978 and worked in the business for 10 years. I know what AAA games mean. Bloodborne & Mario Galaxy would be considered "AAA" games, would they not?
Someone gets it./ if you are waiting this long to play a AAA game that may be released for free, you are either not a true fan of that game or will stop playing it a week after its available. PS+ is giving indie devs a voice to 36+million gamers. i would much rather have Indie games over games i dont want or already own.
What is it with gamer's talking for all gamer's these days? You may not like these games, but others will.
I don't get the complaints for games that are free, how can you complain about free games ? I would rather get free games that i would probably never buy than get free games that i already own or have already completed.
I'm happy with Zombi. Haven't bothered with any PS4 PSplus games in months, so this is already an improvement.
Buy an Xbox One and stop complaining. I have both, most of the times it' s exactly the same shit.
I don't agree with "give old AAA games", I prefer NEW indie games. For fuck's sake, they gave us Rocket League and people still are against Sony's policy.
You know what? I DON'T WANT The Order, Killzone, Infamous, Driveclub, Metal Gear Solid, Bloodborne. What's the point of giving me games I have already played? If you want a game, BUY IT or stop paying for PS+. Buy it monthly only if there are games you like and/or you want to play online, but stop acting like Sony is fucking with their customers, because they are not.
It is not free. If you stop paying for the PS Plus service, your games stop. No different than people wanting to ask for better movies or TV shows for their paid Netflix subscription.
Well then Rookie, if it's such a terrible value take the $4/month that plus cost you and use it to buy the two games you really wanted.
free games for $50 lol
I think you mean cheap games.
@uth11
They may seem 'free' but they most definitely are not. The games on PS+/GWG are more aligned to 'cheap' as you lose access to them as soon as you stop paying for a sub.
When all the new PS4 exclusives release this year I'm sure you will renew it. :)
Not really, as other than Uncharted 4 with MP, games like Horizon, The Last Gardian are single player games and PSVR is single player experience so there is really not that much a need for me to have it for online service because my PC takes care of that already. :)
@Rookie Your going to be surprise this E3! I truly believe Sony is about to blow it out the park in the next couple of years because of their first party developers..Rigs is an online multiplayer game by the way. NTM a lot of gamer's like single player experience like me. I'm sure Microsoft will do well too. I know that's your preferred console. :)
"PSVR is single player experience"
More lies that you have to have people who know what they're talking about to correct you on. RIGS is one of the more high profile PSVR games and it's multiplayer. Battlezone, World War Toons, 100 Ft Robot Golf, Gang Beasts and more are multiplayer games.
What are you going to lie about to support your failing arguments next, Rookie?
Its like the ones who don't just want indies on PSN+ get smothered by extreme defenders, which is the mass majority it seems. But the extreme defenders is the reason why PSN+ is the way it is because those defenders love indies, therefor no change in the instant game collection.
So you get 24 games a year on the PS4 alone,even more games if you own a ps3 and vita. As well you get the ability to play online for $50 . Even the cheapist indie games on psn are around $5 , I think many of the complainers don't understand basic mathematics .
And how many AAA games a year does anyone expected for less then the price of any new release ? People really need to start thinking about what they are paying for and what they are getting .
Fair enough, so you don't like playing games on the PS4 that have an on-line component.
I guess you will have to remove Destiny, The Division, Battlefront, Rocket League etc, since they are now unplayable and taking up valuable space on your hard disk.
But you can take comfort in your network isolation that you really have shafted it to the man.
Hmmmm...might try DeadStar if it gets good reviews, the game has 10v10 Pvp, customizable ships and it's made by ex Metroid Prime devs. And I am definitely downloading Zombi. I'm unsure about I am Alive though but I'll give it a shot.
Disappointing for sure. I bought 'Zombi' (came w/ 'Far Cry 4') last month. Guess I'll try out 'Dead Star', again the PS3/Vita offerings are pretty bland.
Decent month, am pleased with both Microsoft and Sony this month. Shame I already have sunset overdrive (which am most one user will also.)
In the first few days of getting a PS+ membership I actually downloaded and have played the three free games for March. IMHO that are retro games but they are definitely playable, however I am also playing Bloodborne and guess which one takes precedence.
He needs to find another hobby because he thinks the free games he's had to choose from over the last two years haven't been of interest to him? That makes a TON of sense.
@Darth, don't you think interest is a far too short, I mean 2 in 2 years that is over exaggerating. Even the most picky would have at least played and downloaded 10 games at the very least in the last 2 years.
Sorry to hear you hate trying games out and instead just judge them based on a video or what others say.
That's an insult on you, not Sony.

Persona 4 AU
Gauntlet, Magika 2, Ether One, Galak Z, Broforce
These are all terrific PS Plus games offered in the past few years (off the top of my head). Only 2 huh?
1) I like how you assume that you know where the persons complaint is coming from. For all you know they don't own a Vita, PS3 or both, which VASTLY cuts down your list. I believe it would drop to 12.
2) Olli Olli was only offered in Japan I believe and Tearaway was never offered.
3) Resogun, Outlast, BioShock Infinite, Gravity Rush, Hotline Miami, LBP 2 and Grid 2 were offered over two years ago. If we exclude March 2014, you can also remove Unit 13 and Tomb Raider.
4) This also assumes that the poster didn't buy anything listed or cares for it. If you pay attention, there is a real lack of JRPGs, turn based games, hack and slash, etc genre titles.
Goal post moving at its finest here. If the OP had specified his comment and instead of making a general remark on all PS+ games, you two might have a point. But, he didn't and you don't.
My personal opinion is that ps+ has dropped in the quality of its games. I feel that after two years, you could give a bigger title away alongside some indies.
But it's a shame really because this comment section will always end up in a console flame war rather than talking practice and valid points.
For example, let's actually get this thread going in the right direction and list realistic games you think they could give away on +, maybe some of the remastered ps2 games with trophies, how would you feel about that?
I like the idea of incorporating ps2 games in ps plus.
Games the could give away that I feel a lot of people may not have tried
- Sniper elite 3
- Sleeping Dogs def ed
- Disagea 5
- Watch Dogs
- tomb raider remastered
- tell tale games
They could realistically throw in any game where sales have slowed like Order 1886.
Personally I do not like the idea of putting multilayer games behind a pay wall, I mean I paid for them already why should I pay more. So being forced to pay for the few times I do play multilayer I feel like I should get better games so that I feel justified in paying for multilayer. I even thought maybe they could have different levels of ps plus, ps plus as it currently is and a slightly more expensive ps premium where each month the user can choose from any one of a few games each month in addition to the normal ps plus
"My personal opinion is that ps+ has dropped in the quality of its games. I feel that after two years, you could give a bigger title away alongside some indies. "
Agreed and it kills me Japan has given things like Killzone away.
"But it's a shame really because this comment section will always end up in a console flame war rather than talking practice and valid points. "
The real issue, for me anyway, is how some people forget/overlook how this is a bad service and I can comment on whether it is worth my money or I like the direction of it. Yet, some users act like Sony gives everyone these games, they're yours to keep and everyone finds the other aspects so valuable than it is impossible to think differently.
"For example, let's actually get this thread going in the right direction and list realistic games you think they could give away on +"
- Toukiden
- Guilty Gear
- Killzone
- Knack
- LittleBigPlanet 3
- Infamous Second Son
- Dragon Age
- The Last of Us
- Batman Arkham Knight
- Dying Light
- Evolve
- Wolfenstein
- Alien Isolation
- Dark Souls II
- Diablo III
"how this is a bad service and I can comment on whether it is worth my money "
Appears I didn't edit this correctly. Its suppose to say paid service.
For PS4, some legit options for games, IMHO, would be:
1st party: Knack, Killzone Shadow Fall, Second Son, The Last of Us Remastered
Other: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, Battlefield 4, Need for Speed: Rivals, AC IV: Black Flag, The LEGO Movie Videogame, LEGO The Hobbit, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Diablo III, Metro Redux, Watch Dogs, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, The Evil Within.
I think I own all of those but like two or three, but for AAA games that I legit think Sony should be able to pull off, that's a good start. Some of them are games you can get for $15 now and they aren't making the publishers any money now. Some are even games with DLC that could see an upspike in profit if the base game was given out with PS+.
The " The Last of Us remaster" would be awesome only because i never played "Last of Us" before .
Ooo now i remember y i gave up on video game message boards years ago silly me....zombiu was ok to me ima download deadstar r whatever its called
Didn't they give away I Am Alive last month? They swapped out The Last Guy for it.
They swapped out Super Stardust HD for it, but later in the month they swapped it back, so maybe it was an error..?
well not really, is a budget re-release of a Wii U game... a AAA game is something that was originally sold for $60 in stores
By your logic, Heavy Rain on the ps4 is not an AAA game because it's a re-release of a Ps3 game.
Zombi U was a 60$ AAA game, thus Zombi is a AAA. People are unbelievable. A brand new game and a AAA game, yet people cry that they want Knack.
dragon, by your logic a remaster of the original FF7 going on Plus or Gold is a AAA game. Come on, get your corporate hat off.
I don't understand. I thought everyone wanted a AAA retail title for PS+ now there getting one it is not good enough? To be honest Sony won't please everyone with there offerings ever.
They could offer COD BO3 and Battlefield 4 in the same month. But people like me won't be happy then because I hate COD and all ready have Battlefield 4.
Anyhow I think April's is a good offering. Zombi is a decent survival game. But for me I own all the titles except the vita games.
People want Knack and Killzone shadow fall which are also bad games according to lots of complainers here so they can complain some more /s
My bad I mean I own all except for the 2x Vita games and Dead Star. I like the look of Dead Star but am tired of twin stick shooters at the moment.
They got what they want, but its still not good enough. I guess they want new AAA or nothing at all. Though, a lot are just trolling, I know.
I'm sure they'll settle for a great AAA game as opposed to an OK one. Sunset Overdrive is by no means new and yet people are happy with it. Heck it's older than Zombi so I'm not sure where your logic is stemming from...
Wait, it wasn't really logic was it? You were just trying to hit out at the detractors by making it seem as though they are being unreasonable. Nice try. People want a good AAA game, not necessarily a new one. Heck some people have AC 4 on their wishlists so...
Sooo you guys get a AAA game after months of complaints and the game simply isn't good enough interesting.
No AAA games here, there are no high-budget or highly acclaimed games in that list.
Its as much of a tripleA as knack or thief......... games many in this very comment section claimed would be acceptable as AAA offerings for PS plus
Pretty sure Knack and Thief were relatively high in budget, I don't think Zombi was.
Gamers:- At least give us any AAA game for once, sony.
Sony gives AAA.
Gamers:- No, no, not this AAA game, give me another AAA game.
People can't be satisfied, period.
Even if sony gives those games, people will still complain. People already shit on killzone and driveclub.
Secondly, wii U port or not, it's still an AAA game from Ubisoft.
Since it was on Wii U first it doesn't count I guess is the popular logic. It devalues its worth to AAA to AA at best.
that is correct... it did not launch on PS4 as a $60.00 title so its not AAA.. it was a budget title so is just A
Look up the definition of AAA, Zombi is not AAA. Being published or developed by Ubisoft means nothing.
It isn't indie either. If AAA is the term reserved only for the games with highest development budgets then none of the services is giving away AAA games.
It's okay to ask for better or bigger games. What I find ridiculous is people saying they will cancel their subscription because Sony isn't giving them the games they want.
Go and buy for cheap and stop waiting for PS+ to give you anything. The reason you pay $50 is for online not old free games
"stop expecting anything from a service that started as a service to get you free extras"
Umm, what?
Decent month but like others have said Sony can do better. Hopefully they will start releasing older ps4 games soon.
Cool was looking at buying Zombi again on PC (completed Zombi-U on Wii-U), so this is a good one for me.
This month is actually an improvement with the addition of Zombi, which is an Ubisoft's AAA title.
I hope Sony continues doing this kind of service in the upcoming months. They could give us Murdered, Tomb Raider: DE, Sleeping Dogs: DE, The Evil Within, Alien: Isolation or even Grand Theft Auto V.
Still do not understand why some complain about free games but I always did want to try out zombi even though I heard bad things about it.
Personally I can't really complain this month. Zombi does look like kind of a shoddily made game that probably gets old fast which is why I never bought it but as a lifelong zombie fanatic I always wanted to at least try it, and at least it's not a retro 2d pixel art platformer or twin stick shooter that could be played on a mobile phone.
I love how people just gloss over a brand new, terrific looking PS4 game like Dead Star. It's funny, people discredit a game like Dead Star bc they're too casual to have known about it beforehand. Therefore, it's trash...bc they simply are uninformed. Ahh, the cesspool that is the Internet. Last month people said Galak Z and Broforce were trash as well. These are phenomenal games.
I'll definitely check out these offerings. Deadstar looks cool, and Zombi looks fun.
I'll try out the PS4 games but I'll be busy with Dark Souls 3 and some Fallout 4 since I actually buy games I want. Then Mirrors Edge in May, can't wait.
I want to believe Sony is looking out for the little guys by promoting their games, but it also feels like they're using the little guys so they don't have to have this conversation with big publishers.
They've done well in introducing me to some interesting titles I would have readily overlooked, but they could get more creative. Discounts on new digital game pre-orders? Start pumping out more PS2 games and offer some on IGC? A PlayStation Now game of the month to stream free for 30 days? They could do better. Much better.
And let's be real: those complaining are not acting entitled. Those of us on Plus since the beginning bought it as a discount service first. If they had to discontinue the online service for PS3, they should have to ensure free online play for PS4. Plus has lost its value and there's no shame in admitting that.
a game that was bad even for wii-u and more indies... awesome. Guess i'll wait another month. If they were smart they'd do this every other month have 1 good AAA title for ps4, to keep people subscribing rather than waiting a few months before resubscribing.
It reviewed badly on WiiU, but if you kept with the reviewers that were also podcasters, quite a few came back to it as a good game after a while. It grew on them. Supposedly that gameplay doesn't translate that well as a port, but it should be worth checking out.
This is the most disappointing Month of PS+ so far. I have no problem at all in any way getting indies as I have been enjoying them more than AAA games of late. Oh well maybe something decent next month.
Sweet! Zombi is a game I've wanted to play since I first saw it on WiiU at launch, but I never got the chance. Dead Star sounds like a top-down Freespace (if that's even possible), so I'll check that out too.
And what's all this about indies? ZombiU was full retail.
finally a non-indie game :o , its mediocre (7.5/10-IGN)but better than nothing :3
I will check both, Zombi and Dead Star, it's an interesting month, the same month that we can play Ratchet & Clank, Alienation and Dark Souls 3 on PS4.
I'm just annoyed they keep putting games on plus that were on sale not long ago. It's every month they do it now..
Zombie is a decent game but I already had it on Wii U. I'll try it out if it's not to big of a download since I still have a 500gb. I'm not sure how good it is without its best features (Wii U gamepad) missing.
Ill get Zombi and I've always wanted to play I Am Alive so this month isn't all bad its about time
Do what I do. Don't expect any games, pretend its like the old days where you paid for the online service and were grateful, not to feel entitled to "free" games that always suck. I don't even download these "free" games, they suck. They're not what I pay for. I'd rather the money go to upgrading the network infrastructure (remove PSN bandwidth cap anyone?) than be spent by Sony buying crap indies to put up as "free".
How do they get away with this? People complain every month, they are selling twice as many consoles as anyone else and the same thing happens.
Obviously people dont have a problem with the game selection. different strokes.....
Get away with it? I've been loving their offerings that's how. Besides, whats the problem with the offerings now? Zombie isnt indie, soo? What now?
Approx 10 years of free online on PS3, albeit with limited servers compared to Microsoft. Grateful for small mercies now but discounts on mid tier games can still make cost outright worthwhile for some people even if you now don't like the free PS Plus games as much and even if you don't play online much. It's far from the no brainer bargain all round it once was though. Still, at least they didn't do a Microsoft in charging everyone from very early on.
"Still, at least they didn't do a Microsoft in charging everyone from very early on."
Yes. That makes it more forgivable.
Finally something not indy! I'll definitely give Zombi a download.
Relatively new on ps4 (Aug 2015), trophies don't look too bad, coupled with a 70% avg, I could see it turning into a lost weekend platinum. Hopefully the IGC builds from here.
Well, its evident people dont purchase ps+ for the free games. I havent had mine since launch but seeing as uc4 and ds3 are right around the corner ill be renewing my subscription tom.
Zombie looks fun, i hope they the games comes with either a co-op or a mp aspect to the game.
single player, it was DnD style multiplayer fun on Wii U, but that was thrown out. Still a great game.
this is odd. Zombi is more retail than indie. Finally some change.
I wish sony would quit offering game for plus members that are mediocre and start letting psplus member choose 2 free games of their choice from the entire estore each month.
Garbage for Vita as ALWAYS. At least PS4 snagged Zombi but I only have PS+ for Vita so that doesn't mean s*** to me. They gotta start treating Vita customers with some f***ing consideration.
So there you go, Zombie isnt "indie", happy now? I've personally been very happy with their offerings. This month in particular.
Driveclub has a free version.
If you haven't played second son. Where have u been.
I'll try zombie
The game streaming should be included with ps+ Imo.
Zombie awesome. I wanted to play it again, I played it on the wii u, but never finish it.
Developer FluffyLogic has put together a hints, tips and help document about the new downloadable content for their popular tower defence game, Savage Moon.
Waldgeist was made available for download from the PlayStation Store at the beginning of the month for €3.99 but gamers soon reported that the DLC was causing some issues with the game.
FlufflyLogic has since confirmed that they "did a fix for this a few days ago and no new cases have come to light, so [they] are now confident that the issue is resolved for all new purchases of Waldgeist."
