The Green Man Gaming Halloween Sale is running right now.
Just days before they drop, Sony have released the list of October 2016’s PlayStation Plus games. Yay, nay or meh? Gamespulp quickly reviews and rates what’s on offer before we can download ‘em on 4th October.
Resident Evil HD Remaster on my list, but might not have time to play it as I'm currently enjoying Pro Evo 17, WWE 2k17 releasing on the 10th and Battlefield 1 later in the month.
I don't see why you wouldn't. Just add them to your library. You might want to play them one day.
People who don't at least put them in their library are wasting the value of the membership, you don't have to download them, just add them to the cart through browser.. It takes a couple minutes and you build this huge library to enjoy at some point or for your family and friends.
Exactly, I download them all and try them out. You never know what you may like. I remember when the PS3 came out I was lost in the game world because all of PS2 I played 3 types of games. Racing, Sports and Socom lOl that's it and 70% of my gaming went to Socom, for a whole freaking generation. When the PS3 came out there was no launch Socom game so I started to explore. Rag Doll Kung Fu changed my whole perspective, i've lost countless hours playing that game haha. It's just sad that people are stuck in my old mindstate still. I play any and everything now.
shame iv already got resident evil (only need hard difficulty completed then il have 100% completion) and as for transformers, from what iv seen most of their games really suck 😐
Transformers Devesation is very good game. And Resident Evil is still must buy for people who love survival horror.
Im not saying RE isnt great coz it is, but for me personally its pointless to pick up...as for transformers; i checked out the review and it looks like a decent little run around ☺

Hey PS Plus members, let’s get in the Halloween spirit with this month’s free games lineup for October, 2016.
Oh my god,I really want to play Transformer Devastation. And Resident Evil is free on PS+. YES ! https://youtu.be/IuBQkdsajV...
I dont have either, so cool.
Sony have stepped it up in the last couple months with there PS+ offerings.
Ok....while I still dislike the price increase. ...if this keeps up I can see why they increased it. This is how it was back in the ps3 days where AAA games were the norm.
I bought RE at launch and still haven't played. *sad face*
could've saved $20. Oh well.
I suppose the only way is up for their free games.....but anyone thinking this is good obviously hasn't seen the competitors offerings lately.
Yeah,for Asian PS+ members got Gravity Rush Remastered for September didn't realized that until last week,like an early birthday present surprise for me!
And now this I think I'll try Transformers,as I already bought RE remaster.
@UCForce
You and others should have reported that comment by greengangster as 'inappropriate', easy way for mods to comment ban him/her. (I think I might be on that list soon lol).
on topic - Resident Evil definitely one to look forward to in a few days time, Transformers looks alright as well.
I hecka wanted to play it, but didn't want to try it THAT bad. I'm pretty excited to get to try it.
septic getting disagrees cause he's septic lol...but yea I wanted to try transformers as well and RE1 is a classic
That's cool about Resident Evil, shame I bought it immediately upon it's release like most Resident Evil fans. Still cool though.
i bought it on Gamecube and played it a few years later on Dolphin emulator so didn't make sense to buy it once more. I'm very glad i will be able to experience it again thanks to PS+.
Yes, some decent PS4 games for a change. Been dying to play one of these Transformer games. I never did get Transformers: War for Cybertron & Fall of Cybertron on my XBox 360 when they were released. Guess I could get them off of EBay. This will hold me until then though. Plus a nice Remastered version of Resident Evil. Just in time for the final RE movie and RE VII. Good going this month Sony. I also wanted to try Mad Riders as well, but was too cheap to buy it. From Dust is a very old game though. Got that game like 5 years ago on my XBox 360. It's an ok game though.
Why all the disagrees? lol!! People don't like the truth I guess.
I guess you missed Journey and Lords of the Fallen this month...Badlands too.
@IamTylerDurden1
I actually downloaded Journey already. I got Badlands many months ago on the PS4. I picked up Lord of the Fallen on my XB1 when it launched. Why are people so disappointed? This was actually a decent month for Sony. Microsoft went almost all Indie for October, even though Super Mega Baseball: E.I. & The Escapist aren't bad game. They still took a step back with these offerings.
Definitely a better month the games with gold, i don't have PS Plus yet, when you sign up so you get just the games that are on the month you sign up or do you get all the ones available in the instant game collection?
Once you have the membership, go to the PS Plus section in the store and hit add to library. You will have those games forever, but can only play them while your membership is active. You also can not go back to previous months to download previous games. You can only download that months games during that month, and once the new month starts, you can't download the previous games anymore, so it is best to at least hit add to library once the new months games are offered (which is the first Tuesday of every month, by the way.)
Hope that helps.
Lol dude has an x1 fan let me just say that gwg October offerings are flaming garbage
That's what I said. Ps plus is definitely better this month. And thanks grubster, it works just like gwg for games you get, from when your sub starts your collection starts and not previous. That's what I was wondering
Some of those 'indies' are better than a lot of aaa's.
A good game is a good game regardless.
Some of those 'indies' are much worse than a lot of aaa's.
A terrible game is a terrible game regardless.
I know right, its better they don't give Witcher 3 for free, you know....with it being made by an indie team that owns the IP and all... /s
@cyber_daemonx
Many of them were not great however. Some of them weren't worth my disk space. Glad to see Sony is starting to step up their game again though. Fanboys can disagree all they want. Still won't change the facts. Sony had a few bad months with PS+.
@Skillz1215
Nothing is wrong with Indie games if they are good. Rocket League & Ori and the Blind Forest speak AAA Indie. Sony wasn't giving us that quality every month though.
Dude most of those indies were better then the overhyped triple aaa garbage so no I hope they don't lose those indies
Very solid month.
I own Resident Evil already, but happy folks get to play it for free. Its a great remaster! Looks amazing.
Resident Evil is a very appropriate choice. I already own *RE, but I am curious about Transformers, and genuinely interested in playing both Actual Sunlight, and that Code: Realize game.
Its happened to me a few times. This month I have neither. Last month I had already played LoTF.
Its bound to happen occasionally but for the price of PS+ its no biggie.
While I generally disagree, it would be somewhat nice to get sale prices on other options if you purchased a free game within the past 30 days.
It's already annoying reading people type "I've wanted this for forever". I mean, if you wanted it that bad, why not bloody buy it and support the developer in the first place. Now we get people moaning that they want free stuff on top of the free stuff. Sony (And MS) can't ever win. Some people are never happy.
Seriously, instead of moaning about it, do yourself (and all of us) a favour and stop being a PS+ member.
Sure and after that people are going to complain that they already have the free game and already own the discounted games that they offer as a substitute..then people would complain just because they don't want the free game but want the sale price games at that price too..you can never win with these kind of people
Agreed I'm intrigued with that Code Realise game. And looking forward to giving transformers a try. Wasn't sure if I should buy it as I'm a fan of Platinum Games but I don't watch Transformers.
2 great games for PS+ I have to say. I bought TF Devastation earlier this year and am 1 trophy away from platinum. The REmake I haven't bought since GameCube but it's another nice title, coinciding with Halloween.
So, even though I've played them both already, I can't complain. It's a better effort than they're used to making. Hope it continues.
How hard is the Platinum in your opinion? I'm planning on getting the Platinum for it, but the SS rank in every level scares me. And is it too time consuming?
Heh, that's the exact trophy I'm missing for platinum and I haven't even tried it yet. Not because of difficulty because I'm waaay overpowered for Commander mode. Cut through it like butter. But because SS ranks are temperamental and you have to SS every fight, every checkpoint except maybe one or two tops, but the issue is its based on grinding POINTS in a fight while simultaneously not getting hit or taking too long.
Beating a boss or wave in 30 seconds with one long combo won't get you SS. You have to put on a show. So for me I have to use low rank weapons like D or C and grind headshots while still not taking too long, not killing guys too fast, not getting hit and mix in some counters and things even if I don't want to.
Game doesn't tell you until after the fight if you have enough points so you're just guessing. If you screw up and only A rank, you should probably load an old save and try again. So yes, it's time consuming. I may try it again one day since it's all I need, but by this point Ive beaten the same levels so many times I'm just burnt out.
What else for platinum should you know, hmm. There's challenge rooms that are mandatory, some collectables, inventory micromanagement is huge as you're always buying selling fusing weapons and items RPG style. Gotta beat campaign 5 times minimum for trophies on escalating difficulties with at least one run of beating all the bosses on hard without getting hit. Sounds scary yes, but once you grind some S and SS weapons and get good at reading cues of when to dodge, it's easier.
You can level select and free roam levels with different characters after youve beaten them, which is fun. So nothing except the "SS everything" run is missable. Everything carries over. Even if you don't manage every boss on no damage, or beat all the challenge rooms, you can still finish around a nice 71% give or take. Good luck!
@P_Bomb
Thanks for such a well put together explanation on the mechanics to the SS rank and the platinum difficulty, really appreciate it.
Sometimes I wish for some games you could just turn off trophies and play it just for fun without worrying about these kind of things, the same happens to me with games that have multiplayer trophies, hate them.
No prob' man! Nice talking about video games on here for a change instead of console wars, lol.
Agree with you about shutting them off every now and then, along with MP ones.
I basically ignore trophies. The little popups sort of bother me, if not for some of them being funny.
Will pick them both up. Love Platinum Games, so will definitely give Transformers a Go. Resident Evil I have played to death, but it's been a while since I played RE:master on Gamecube
If you love platinum games why didn't you buy Transformers? Just pulling your leg 😁 . Enjoy! Its a fun game just not enough money went in to develop it as a AAA.. platinum did the best they could with the budget/time they recieved.
i was just added,
i'm working on my acceptance letter right now. so far its:
Wanna thank the wife for all the support, and the gf for keeping it on the DL
Theres a song that contains instructions on how to do that.
"Yo listen up
hear's a story about a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night
And everything he sees is just blue like him
Inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window and a blue Corvette
And everything is blue for him and himself And everybody around"
Just be blue.
:)
Thumbs up! Great selection this month, I've been waiting to play both of these.
Much much better offering than the GWG garbage. Good job sony. Well done.
It's the father off all modern horror games in my opinion, scared the crap out of me when i played it on Playstation all those years ago.
Amazing game. Many a year ago a less HD version of this game is what made playing games a joy.
Back then since the Internet was still in its youth there was no such console wars. How I miss those days.
Definitely worth everyone's time. A game from back when Capcom was worth something.
Finally some good games woo!
Never played the first Resident Evil, i was too scared lol
Transformers is REALLY good. It's more Vanquish Platinum Games than it is TMNT Platinum Games. Everyone should get it.
Yea , sure man !!!!
let's give you tekken 7!!!!...............which ain't even out yet.
This comment shows the sad state of gaming these days. Anything with any complexity or doesn't hold your hand is "too hard" and the player must use a guide....
Capcom wants to build hype for RE7.
I wish the PS3 free game offerings were better this month though.
I'll give RE another try. Uninstalled it from my computer because of this announcement
Awesome! I have Resodent Evil but almost bought Transformers the other day. Great month
Even though the offerings are good, they aren't for me.
I'm more of the person that was fine with the offerings when everyone was complaining about them not giving major titles free.
I liked having indie games free rather than full retail games. Retail games I like to buy physically and collect. So even though the offerings are fine in my book, this isn't for me.
Truth be told, they can give away 20 of the best games at one time, There will STILL be someone there, looking for something to complain about.
Nice line up. I already have Resident Evil but I've wanted to play Transformers so it's still a win.
Wow, such a good month. I don't have any of those games and I wanted to play them.
So good.
Great month finally, but many people just got the RE remaster with the recent capcom ps humble bundle. I also already own transformers but that is a hella great game for a ps plus title! Looks like Sony is gonna start making ps plus great again! I knew they would eventually.
Translation: Resident Evil? A more than satisfactory offering that pleases me. A good month in the PlayStation community.
Two games I wanted but didn't buy, wow SONY finally a good month where I want both games!
Resident Evil for free?
Now we're talking. I've been wanting to get that game for a while but been waiting for a good sale. Now I can get it for free :)
Good thing I didn't buy RE on the past humble bundle. I was also really close to buying Transformers a few weeks ago. Nice month.
Awesome lineup 2 straight months. Transformers Devastation is the best game in recent memory for xbl or PS+, imo.
Decent month for PS4. They have a better choice in October to keep people away from Gears 4.
thats a legit reason though.
@UCFORCE and Stogz
Gears is on the competitions console, so why wouldn't Sony offer some higher quality games the month one of 3 major games is being released. why else would Xbox have a weaker selevtion for GwG this month, to push people to get Gears.
This is just business marketing, nothign fanboy about it
Cant wait to try Transformers, i love the original cartoon style characters. Reminds me of getting up early on a Saturday morning in the 80's to watch it...now i want a MASK game too :)
Don't comment because you troll and downplay Sony. That's about it. Nothing more, nothing less. This is much better offer than XGL offer.
@EpicSandwich
You know, reading all the comments i KNEW there would be a stupid fanboysh comment from you, like in all the other articles. Probably you don't even own a PS4 and you've never subscribed to PS+. And i really don't care about all of this and what you got, what you play, whatever.... but WHY you must taint ALL the PS4 articles?
Did Sony kill your parents? Or stole your candies when you were a kid (or you're still a kid, some of your comments makes me wondering that)?
I don't know where all this hatred comes from... jealousy maybe?
holy damn!, is Sony reading my mind or something ?, I always wanted to play Lords of Fallen but never went to buy it and this month give it for free !, and is the same for Transformers Devastation!!.
Finally two games that I am really looking forward to playing. I'll actually put these on the HDD, rather than just arbitrarily adding them to the library.
Finally some some real games. Man... Last months games were ok... I thought the Dark Souls look alike game was going to have similar controls, but they even messed that up. Transformers, well i hope its good, those devs always make games fun.
This is great for October. Too bad I already have both these games but I'm glad we are getting something better now on ps plus for ps4.
Super cool for the PlayStation Nation to get one of the scariest games of all time for October. A true classic! Happy Halloween!
Great month an all but don't expect it every month. Not yet anyway.
You have to remeber Plus started when the PS3 was already 4 years old.
And for the first year and a bit only had about 5 AAA games.
It wasn't until 2012 that we started getting AAA games every month.
By then the PS3 was 6 years old and had a lot more games, so developers were probably more willing to let their games go on plus for a lump of cash.
Whilst it has a lot of games, I'm willing to bet not as many as the PS3 did in 2012. So publishers don't have as much competition so would most likely demand more money, which I think is fair.
As the console life goes on the more games we get, the more we get the more picky we get which = less games sold. (Not overall but people will be less inclined to take a punt over a game like let's say GTA)
A game that early in the gen that sold say 1m, might only sell 600k, because there are now more games for people to pick from.
Would Knack of sold 1.6m copies had it launched today? I highly doubt it.
So as publishers see a decline in sales of one game, they might be more willing to take a smaller lump of cash, even more so if it helps promote a new game, I wouldn't be surprised to see TR PS4 next month, with ROTTR on PS4 soon.
I don't think I've played Resident Evil since the 90s. Going to be nostalgia overload.
In general it's a very good month for PS+. I say in general because i bought RE about a month ago ;(
But if someone didn't try it yet, RE is a must for the survival horror lovers.
I've never tried Transformers or any of the other games about them so it's going to be a surprise... a good one too, reading all the reviews and comments around.
Nice month for PSVita too, while the poor PS3 is getting a weird treatment... and the best part is that the PS3 has a huge library of games now. This month was good for it, at least for me (i liked Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands, finished and got the platinum ;D), maybe in Nov it's getting something better. Up and Downs for the poor PS3, compared to what it got when PS+ was born ;P
What i'm really surprised at is At John Lewis, Argos,Amazon, and many others they have been selling the PS4 500gb for £149.
I haven't seen anything mentioned on here, unless I missed it, Managed to snag one:)
Yup. Probably retailers offloading the original PS4 for when the pro launches. Thats a great deal tbh.
TD is a fun game. Much better than the junk they are giving us on Xbox Live. MS is stingy.
