Playstation Plus

You can't please everyone. But this months lineup for ps4 sees a brand new release which is highly recommended via the test beta, and a stealth game that got rave reviews over on steam...

Even rain on ps3 was well received.. This is a good line up. 4 ps4 games , as well as ps3 and vita games and drive club ps + edition launched last week, really there is something there for everyone...

I guess everyone wants knack or killzone shadow fall. But I'd take this months over those two any day...

Rain is nothing special really, I need to go back and finish it at some point though.

Is the ps+ version of driveclub exactly the same as the disc?

TheVoice · 2 Jul 2015 at 23:34

The version you pay for is, the free one isn't.

ok thanks, what are the differences? only reason I ask is I just spotted it in the store, deleted my disc version to install it, probably a pointless exercise lol

I would say helpful but a Google search should tell him what's missing

.

As for the new line up of games. It's better then nothing but I can see Games for Gold getting the edge over PS+ soon. The subs are cheaper and the quality of games there have started to become good. Assassins Creed 4, Rayman etc.

Some might be happy with all the indie games, it's definitely different strokes for different folks but I want to start seeing other games coming to plus.

Killzone will no doubt end up on there but I think most PS4 owners have either played it or own it.

Games are up but you have to search for them.

Plainsong · 7 Jul 2015 at 05:50

Got them. Cheers.

Played Rocket League last night, and quite impressed - however had it not been on Plus, I wouldn't have bought it (wonder what the actual price will be?), and surprised to see it has a Platinum Trophy (given how short/easy it will be to obtain - did 20% of the trophies in about 35 minutes last night).

It's £15.99, and while it may be easy to obtain, will still take at least about 14 hours to get the plat. 5 minute matches, 165(I think) items to unlock, with 1 item per match unlocked. I don't know how long the 500KM trophy will take, probably by the time you get all the items. It's defo longer than some games out there, despite being easier.

Loving Entwined. Trippy!

Anyone else having problems with their PSN friendslist counter not updating? It's showing 9 as being online next to the icon but when i go on friends 14 are online.

It never updates, unless i restart the console then it puts the correct number but never updates again. It's really annoying me now.

Yeah same for me i first noticed this last friday

dakaiez · 9 Jul 2015 at 21:32

That's good then, well on my part as i thought it was my connection/router but if others are getting it then just another PSN problem. I had less problems when it was F2P and many many more since it started costing.

Sumanji · 10 Jul 2015 at 05:41

Ah dang it, I just bought Styx on Steam - which platform do you reckon is better to play on?

I love a good Stealth-em-up

blitzwing85 · 10 Jul 2015 at 08:58

I didn't bother downloading any of the PS+ games this month other than Rocket League, which is awesome.

I think I've played about 5% of PS+ games (had it since launch on PS3), with another 5% or so on my 'to do' list but the rest were deleted after 30 second YT vids of the gameplay!
But even then, it's still worth the sub for me - there will always be at least £30 of good games a year so guaranteed to pay for itself.

I don't mind the lack of full retail releases - almost all of them suck anyway - at least to me. I'd rather have titles that you may not otherwise try or look into - I enjoy PS+ as a means to open me up to new types of games.

Saying that, they do need to add one in maybe ever 3rd month or so for those that do want them
