So nah. It was also only discounted twice in Europe, on launch for PS+ members and now as part of the Halloween sale.

Is that a loophole that they could, but wont, do?

so it sells even more?
It's probably extremely frontloaded and sales have been slow after that. Buy you have sources telling you that it did well, so it's kind of hard to deny that it did.
This is great news. Need to finally install it and play it.
Asia line-up is apparently online. Supermeatboy was already on Plus, Thief too (at least PS3 version), Mass Effect 2 isn't but at least it should come with all DLCs. But again is Asia, they also got Killzone Shadowfall.
I hope EU/US line-up is different, Thief is garbage despite the platform.

Doesn't sound like we'll hear about the line-up today, either.

Fred is on vacation in France for the days after PGW
I'm sure he's working hard on it

He's being a great manager. He's got the team working hard, dammit!

Killzone would suck. Triple A doesn't warrant a good line-up. I hope we never get that, Knack, Watch Dogs, Thief, etc.
What does that means? "Working hard"?
It seems like Sony employees are calling publishers to the phone with something like this "Pretty please, Ubi, let us put AC Blag Flag on Plus this month. Pleeeease
Wait nope, what you are asking is too much, Ubi-bubi, can we have a discount? Pleease, or people won't renew their subs "Talking seriously, something went wrong and they are looking for some replacement in their line-up. I remember something similar happened when we got Dead Nation Redux (I remember I read it was even bugged as hell on release),
It's crazy that every month is so down to the wire for these games being finalized. I'm sure games get dropped out from time to time, but I always figured they had the spots pretty much worked out a month or two in advance, as was shown with the December 2014 and January 2015 PS+ games being announced early.

There's a million things that could be happening
Some dev forgot to sign a contract or only for one region
The new game that was supposed to be included failed cert
Doesn't mean the team isnt doing their job
"The team is working hard" is just PR speak

They know what the games will be months in advance.
Most likely its just getting all the marketing material in order.
This is the right answer. They are not pulling this stuff out of a hat but they have to negotiate deals and sometimes things go weird at the last minute. A lot of people seem to think that they operate PS+ by fiat. They don't just decide and wave a wand, they need to make deals with publishers to get things on the list.

cert failed a week ago
they're trying to get a new build out, otherwise they'll have to put a replacement in the last minute, so they're waiting a few more days
these things happen, you don't know

I don't really follow GwG but going by the threads popping up in Gaming, Microsoft seem to be a whole lot more reliable with getting those announcements out earlier than PS+.

So no announcement today either
Normally yesterday around this time.
Damnit, I just want to see if Battlefield Hardline makes the cut (which had been rumored and maybe the reason for the delay?
so I can trade it in for the 60% trade in bonus at Bestbuy this week so I don't have to go twice.

Wasn't WD JUST on PS+ sale last week in EU? lol
One game was bundled and discounted several times (Walking Dead 2), also I don't know if this is PS3 Or PS4, anyway PS3 version runs very bad. The other game is not my cup of tea, I have the first one on Pc, tried several times to play it, never clicked.
Yeah, this too. Great way to reward consumers who bought it, I guess.
EDIT: It's the PS4 version. Ok, so with a PS3 only, I'll get none of those, lol.

I'm okay with this.
Only played season 1 of WD, and I enjoyed some "co-op" in Magicka with my wife.
These might actually be PS+ games I end up playing more than once.

I didn't like Walking Dead S1 but I guess I may as well play S2 if it's there.

I loved Walking Dead, but had absolutely no interest at all in finding out what happened next. They should have left it where they left it and started again somewhere new.
I haven't played S2 as a result though, maybe it's amazing.
(These games aren't confirmed though btw.)

"hello?" "this is vagina"
That would be dope as fuck if true.
Season 2 is great. Definitely play it if it's real.
My only problem is I already own the game.

Why Season 2 though.. like.. what a shitty way to start the series. Magicka would be dope as fuck indeed. We'll see.
You weren't around for all those horrible Ustream ads? I think it's been out for awhile.
Pretty sure they already gave away Season 1 as a Plus title
Nope.
So I played through season one on PS3, PC and PS4, and season two on PC and PS4. Of them all, both season one and season two run the best on PS4, in my opinion!
Season one was just an Xbox 360 AND an Xbox One Games with Gold title in October. So if you're into freebies only, you'd have to play the first one on Xbox and the second on Playstation.
Man, please let this be true. I want to play Season 2 so badly. I've been itching to buy it for the last couple of months.
Great, great lineup.

Hm, I played the first season on PC... how much of the first season's decisions carry over to the second?
