Might get Divekick. £2.40 isn't much for novelty sake.

 

[Bouniter]

Still no Shovel Knight, it has to be on offer next week right Sony, RIGHT.

I just want to play it on my vita.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

I'll probably pick up Broken Age for that price, seems decent.

Anyone have any opinions on the PS4 version of Divekick? I had fun on the PS3 version but the online is dead.

That's the one I'm waiting for as well

Divekick is a good game.

Pretty weak week if you've been a PS+ member in recent times as a lot of the good picks here are previous PS+ games. I'll get BitTripRunner2 for Vita, glad I didn't jump on the PS3 version last week.

 

[RazielCuts]

Yeah, I would've jumped on Life is Strange if it hit below that £10~ mark but going from £15.99 to £12.79 doesn't really push the needle for me.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Bugger all I'm interested in. A lot of those games seem to be permanently on sale, and I've no interest in COD. Never mind. I'm probably buying Ethan Carter and The Fall anyway.

 

[Certinty]

Broken Age worth £10?

 

[DaanMuffin]

Broken Age worth £10?

Totally, game is super charming. Later puzzles are prettu obtuse though

 

[Keyser Soze]

I will recommend Crimsonland to you all, because I feel no ones else will...

 

[ramyeon]

Earlier actually

new deals
http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015...unts-call-of-duty-need-for-speed-indies-more/

Nothing amazing since a lot of them were on PS+ before, but a few decent deals for OlliOlli, Spelunky, Broken Age, Transistor and more

I was this close to buying Transistor the other week, glad I held off.

 

[Savantcore]

Is Broken Age any good?

 

[Turnstyle]

Teslagrad is tempting...

For some reason, I thought it was crossbuy with Vita, but there's no Vita version on the store. Does anyone know if it's coming later?

Fake edit: It's coming, according to the devs http://rain-games.com/an-update-on-teslagrads-vita-port/

 

[Jimnymebob]

How is Broken Sword 5 on Vita, in regards to controls specifically?
Also, what's the deal with Steamworld Dig? I've heard of it, and it looks cool, but I have no idea what type of game it is.

 

[RazielCuts]

So games we've had on PS+ and Call of Duty deals. Nothing that interesting this time for I.

Reading this I thought it was going to be typical internet hyperbole but nope, apart from Broken Age you're pretty on point.

Broken Sword uses touch controls, but I can't recall ever having any frustrations with them, it doesn't require too much in the way of precision or speed, so it works fine.

I enjoyed Steamworld Dig (though I got it as a PS Plus game so that might colour my opinion). Fun, doesn't overstay its welcome. It's like a less hardcore, non-randomised Spelunky, but not quite as good.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I will recommend Crimsonland to you all, because I feel no ones else will...

I will back this up with visual evidence...

 

[thekiddfran]

Thinking of getting Broken Sword, Broken age and Bit Trip runner 2?

Good choices?

 

[mclem]

OlliOlli for under 2 quid seems worthwhile, at least.

 

[Myriadis]

Will get thatb brothers game, heard only good things about it

 

[xrnzaaas]

Nothing interesting for PS4 this week. Oh, and the wait for the PS4 edition of Broken Sword 5 sucks. :/

 

[Tizoc]

Yup all god games, grab them.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Really rubbish sales to be honest. Is there anybody that doesn't own Spelunky or OlliOlli yet? I like they've sold this as "Summer of Digital" to avoid discounting anything that hasn't been a PS+ title in the past.

 

[Sithlord77]

I bought Broken Age and Last Tinker. Not bad deals.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Also, what's the deal with Steamworld Dig? I've heard of it, and it looks cool, but I have no idea what type of game it is.

I *love* Steamworld Dig. Amazing art and visuals, smooth, perfect controls, a really nice sense of progression and fun level design, which kind of feels like a simplified version of Spelunky x Terraria.

I will back this up with visual evidence...

That makes it look cool, but I didn't like the demo all that much.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I am going to guess they demo was just the early levels with the more basic guns... which is a bad way to show the game IMO.

The game gets much more frantic as you go, with more enemies, more guns, and more power ups.

The GIF is from the game's Survival mode - which is my favourite part. It gives you access all the stuff you unlocked in the campaign to stay alive as long as possible.

SteamWorld Dig is a really good game, but it suffers from standard maps. It would be much better if they were randomly generated so that you'd want to finish it again and again (collecting harder trophies isn't enough of an incentive for me).

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Geometry Wars 3 isn't very good.

You know, comparatively speaking. It's fun and all, it's just not as tactile and immediate.

Disappoint.

RIP Bizarre.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Final week of this today... hope we get something actually decent.

Ah curses, I thought this bump meant the new sale was live

I'm hoping for something good as well, the first 3 weeks were dire (well, I already had anything good on the sale)

I wish they'd put all the PS1/PS2 games on sale

 

[Acquiescence]

Broken Age worth £10?

No, the second half is crap, for lack of a better word. Don't buy it. Get Grim Fandango instead if you haven't played it yet.

 

[Putosaure]

I wish they'd put all the PS1/PS2 games on sale

I wouldn't bet on that.

Prepare to disappoint.

As I've said before, the "Summer of Digital" seems a thin excuse to put up exclusively old PS+ titles.

 

[oni-link]

I'm not betting on it, it's just something I'd like to see, as some of the games (FF, Crash, Tomb Raider) are always on sale, but others seem to never ever go on sale

As I've said before, the "Summer of Digital" seems a thin excuse to put up exclusively old PS+ titles.

Yeah, I'm looking for Hotline 2, Shovel Knight, and Grandia on PS1 as games I want, but the first 2 are quite new and probably won't get a good discount (being cross buy will also keep the price higher for longer)

I don't have a PS4 yet so I'm still looking for PS3 titles

 

[oni-link]

double post

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I'll be looking for Binding of Isaac on PS4 since they made BOTH versions available on Plus in November but DIDN'T implement Cross-Buy. Dickheads.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

You're wrong. I can play it on my Vita and PS4 bruh.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Probably because you downloaded it on Plus. I bought it independent of that on Vita, and there's a price tag for me on PS4.

Really ? You should tweet the devs, maybe they send your a code for PS4.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Nah it was specifically for PS+, they put it up for both Vita and PS4. I bought it without Plus, because I knew I'd be playing the game a lot and didn't want that game to be forever tied to a PS+ subscription.

 

[YianGaruga]

BoI was only cross buy on Plus. Very strange decision

 

[bombshell]

Transistor and Bastion are dirt cheap starting today like in the US, so I guess they're part of the deals being posted soon.

Transistor was already discounted last week. Not sure about Bastion.

Bastion already has a big discount prize if you look for it in the EU PS Store.

 

[bombshell]

Yeah, my mistake. Transistor has been 75% off the last week, Bastion is 75% off from today.

Bastion already has a big discount prize if you look for it in the EU PS Store.

Yes, starting today.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

It's a miracle it came out in the EU at all.

 

[delSai]

Looks like the deals are already online?
Has Games like Hotline Miami 2, Metal Slug 3, Escapist, Magicka and some more.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Holy shit, they DID put up BoI For £6 (3.60 on Plus). Also, PVZ: Garden Warfare for a tenner. Nice.

Full list here.

 

[Diprosalic]

So I know nothing about Valiant Hearts but the art style looks fantastic. What's the general verdict on it?

it's pretty crappy tbh.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Picked up Binding of Isaac and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare for £14.39. Not at all bad!
