Congrats to our PS3 brothers across the pond. Now bring it stateside Sony :)

LOGICWINS4709d ago

And congrats to the people who have fake EU accounts. DL'ing Wipeout now :)

fluffydelusions4709d ago

Good call. Wish I had one before this whole thing happened.

zeeshan8104709d ago (Edited 4709d ago )

I have three accounts (EU, JP, and USA). :P I will download all 5 games.

LOGICWINS4709d ago

^^Thats what I'm looking to do as well :)

Yi-Long4709d ago

... but doesn't Sony have a way to limit your amount of free games per console, or are we who have multiple accounts just in luck?

...which might also mean I'll start 1 free month of PSN+ one of these days, and then when the 30 days are almost over, I'll start another free month of PSN+ on another account.

If I can download on all accounts, I'll have to make sure I pick up R&C and Dead Nation on my European account and inFamous and Wipeout on my USA account.

"...which might also mean I'll start 1 free month of PSN+ one of these days, and then when the 30 days are almost over, I'll start another free month of PSN+ on another account."

I wanted to do that...but I'm sure theres an expiration date for the deal.

Yi-Long4709d ago

Isn't the expiration date only for when you can START the WB deal with PSN+ !?

So say if someone is now on vacation and will be back in 3 weeks, and he activates his free month of PSN... shouldn't it still last him a month?

LOGICWINS4709d ago

^^Hmmm..maybe ur right. There may not be any restrictions if you have multiple accounts. According to the Blog, the 30 day timer for PS Plus starts when you download it. So I guess theres no expiration date after all :)

YAY! :D

Edit: Now I'm 30 days a ps + member :D yay and downloading dead nation + wipeout HD at the moment woho!

SoulMisaki4709d ago

I noticed the Welcome Back package on my PS Store screen, and I chose that. I selected PS+ 30 day trial, and that redeemed. But I then chose the "PS3 Game 1" and it gave me the choice, "Get now" and I clicked that, but I could never get any of the games. Same with the second one. What's wrong...? Now the WB section is gone.... What do I do!?

MinusTheBear4709d ago

Same thing happened to me.

kingboy4709d ago

same thing here all the free games for download are gone and i only clicked the welcome add lol

maverick11914709d ago (Edited 4709d ago )

EDIT

Nevermind found it it's under latest

fluffydelusions4709d ago

I'll be interested to see how the servers cope with all the downloads. Hopefully all goes well. I don't want to still be downloading infamous when infamous 2 hits Tuesday lol.

kma2k4709d ago

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis12h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast10h ago

It's worth a play through today.

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 7h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 6h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 8h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 8h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 5h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast11h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 3h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast10h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon23h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast10h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon1h ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake4h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast3h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
