Important note from the EU Blog that doesn't appear in the US Blog:

To be clear, Vote to Play will not be a monthly feature, but will take place at regular intervals throughout the year.

It's a great idea for Sony, most people won't be bitching at them for including "dumb indies" or games they don't want to play. It just sucks for us who don't want to deal with crappy games that will end up winning.

A large contingency of people will still bitch about the options given (just read the comments), and then they will skew the polls for the people with a semblance of taste.

I don't see how this was a good idea.

Agreed.

We will see how it plays out. If it doesn't pan out well, they can always go back to the guessing game for all 6.

At least it seems based on the videos (and knowing Grow Home) that the first set of options are all good games with potential, so I suppose there's only so much "damage" that can be done if Sony stays smart with the choices offered.
 
For Sony to be able to include these games in the vote, an agreement must be in place already between both parties as to what Sony will pay, etc, in the event that any of the three titles wins. Sony need to be prepared for any outcome.

If this contract already exists, then, I would be very surprised if the "losers" of the vote aren't available through PlayStation Plus a few months down the line.

Vote for even more crappy indie games? Seriously....I dident buy a $300 next gen console to play old ps3 games and 2d pixel games from the early 90s.

Lets post more PS Blog comments. This is fun!
 
I've got a better idea, have a choice where you can have the "communities choice" in place of one of the normal games each month. That way I don't have to suffer with Knack because most of you morons are jumping on a shitty meme. :p

In all seriousness, Knack really isn't that bad of a game. It's THE game that can benefit the most from being on Plus.

my favorite blog post:

"Personally I would like to see some of the big name games that are on the PlayStation Store added to lineup. ei: drive club, assassins creed unity, call of duty: advanced warfare, battlefield 4. Not everybody is a fan of indie games you need to appease those people as well I save each month for each console there should be two big man games people can download and two nd games that way it’s fair for everybody!"

----

Yep, 4 games per console, because in order to be fair to everybody there needs to be 2 AAA games since us jokers get 2 indie games we love.

You're right about this. That comment section is proof enough that this won't end well.

Lol, PS Blog comments can be so awful. I would only scroll through them if I saw that a dev/pub/staff member was making replies in the thread.
 
It's now official, someone make a thread.

Hey PlayStation Nation – as you all know, we love to hear your feedback and work to bring those asks, demands and needs to life wherever possible. With that in mind, I’m thrilled to announce a new PlayStation Plus promotion that literally puts the choice in your hands – Vote to Play. This promotion enables PlayStation Plus members to vote on one of several PlayStation 4 games for the upcoming month’s Instant Game Collection.

Sigh...

This has no benefit for anyone. It will not stop the bitching, only make it worse.

With PS Plus, I noticed that at least on PS4, it'll be one good indie game, then this really crappy/obscure indie game.

I hope this new system just lets us vote on the crappy/obscure indie game.

I think thats all this system is.

I do not like this, Sam I Am. It's silly, but I'd prefer to not know what I'm missing out on, rather than to see it get hopelessly squashed under votes for a title I haven't got a fraction of interest in. I don't trust the majority.
 
I don't trust the general gamers taste

This is probably going to result in us getting less great games on PS+

But I mean, it's hard to argue with Sony giving more power to their subscribers

This is going to suck. Good games are going to get passed over simply over looks (if PS+ threads are anything to go by) and we're going to get something that is more palatable to mainstream tastes.

I love this idea. When it does right, it will generate interesting discussions among gamers and bring a social media buzz even more.

And ... We should embrace the "indie games are shit" posters a lot more... LOL
