[PS3] Official PSN discussion thread

I own Guacamelee on PS3 AND PC, and I haven't finished either. Great game, shame on me.

Probably the best game playable on the Vita...

I would Groan you if I had the ability. Ha.

I absolutely love that game. Let me know if you get to the top of the Tule Tree. That was one of the greatest accomplishments I've had in gaming.

I'm actually on that part of the game right now lol.

Good luck. You're going to need it.

 

[Hitman]

I didn't want to come down from the tree after getting all the way up there. I think the game should end right there.

Anyone playing Dead Nation tomorrow? I believe its two player coop so i'll be looking for someone to play it with.

 

[Swarley]

Speaking of...

If anyone hasn't downloaded Outlast on their PS4 yet, you better do it before the store updates and it's gone.

I think I might take advantage. I've been holding off on getting Bf4 Premium but if I get that and maybe TLoU dlc it's put me over $60.

April PS+ preview...Spoiler Alert: Mercenary Kings will be FREE!

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Batman! Yes, that is the sound of Batman: Arkham City coming to PlayStation Plus in April for PlayStation 3 owners. Arkham City garnered praise from gamers and critics alike, as evidenced by its cumulative 96/100 score on Metacritic. With the recent announcement of Batman Arkham Knight, this is a great way to catch up on Batman’s adventures.

PlayStation 4 owners can join up with friends and take down an evil corporation in a new 2D action game, Mercenary Kings. As you explore the island CLAW (that’s the evil corporation) has taken over, you’ll discover weapon parts that you can take back to your base and use to fashion together some new spiffy gear.

There are two other PS3 games this month: Stealth Inc. A Clone In the Dark and Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. Stealth Inc. is, as you can probably guess, a game where you should stick to the shadows. The only way to make it out of the lab alive is via some sneaky platforming, so proceed with caution. Castle of Illusion is a proper remake of the Sega Genesis version, not just an HD upgrade. There are new levels to navigate but the goal is the same — save your #1 mouse (that’s Minnie) from the evil witch.

While Vita owners can also enjoy Stealth Inc. (the benefits of Cross-Buy!) this month, they’ll also get Velocity Ultra, an arcade-y space shooter where you’ll teleport around and save other ships, and Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD, a classic tower-defense style game where you’ll need to save baby Tiki-people.

April PlayStation Plus Preview

But you’re not going in unprepared! Your back-up is made of a crew of rogue geniuses and experts of their field! Able to craft & customize guns’n'blades or upgrading body armor, you’ve never been this ready to join the fight.

Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD (PS Vita)
Free for PS Plus members

I am so glad I don't only own an Xbox. :garbage:

these games are only available for the specific system then? does your PS+ account work on both systems?
how much is it for PS+

yes your account is good on PS3, PS4, and Vita.

PS+ varies according to sales. I saw it for $34.99 the other day, but it is $49.99 via PS Store.

PS+ works across all Sony platforms. It's $50/year but I've seen retailers sell the year subs for $35. $50 is already a steal though. So your one PS+ subscription gives you access to the "free" (I put that in quotations because it does require a paid subscription) games and discounts on PS3, PS4 and Vita. Some of the games like Mercenary Kings are platform specific. Other games like Stealth Inc are cross-buy so you can play them on PS3 and Vita. I don't think they've offered any games that are playable on PS3 and PS4 yet.

[Maynard]

PS+ continues to dominate Xbox Gold in the quality of "free" games for its members.

This is honestly not even worth comparing at this point. I really don't know what MS is doing with their free games. If you're going to give away games that are years old, and so few games that are years old, why even have the program?

It's nice that Mercenary Kings is free. I fired it up again last night on Steam and REALLY want to like it, but can't seem to get into it. Maybe I'd like it more playing with another person. It seems as if it would be a lot more fun co-op.

I have never downloaded a game from Gamers with Gold. I have downloaded a handful of PS+ games.

My favorites so far are Resogun and Hotline Miami. Unfortunately every triple A game PS offers I have already played and beaten.
