Funny that the best two games are Resogun and V2X

The September PS+ naysayers must feel kind of stupid now.

Boom. Keep kicking ass FuturLab.
I doubt it. Indie games are shit, man. Only stale AAA-budgeted games make PS+ worth it.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
I for one welcome our gen 8 shmup overlords.
Even though Velocity isn't QUITE a shmup. Whatever it counts
Yea man DLC was released for it also. Buy that. However I veleive Sony takes care of the Devs who opt-in to PS+
I have a feeling that Assault Android Cactus and Alienation will join them in the Top Tier of PS4 games.

Had fun with Resogun. I am enjoying Velocity 2X...but I've had a much better - and deeper - time with Shadow Fall and Second Son.
This whole "the best games are indie" argument only applies to those who like those sort of things. The triple A games are still better and more worth my money. But...you know...the internet and its buzz train.

I never played it, but after playing the first 10 levels of this one the reviews are much deserved.

Better is debatable. You couldn't pay me to waste time with Shadow Fall.
Polygon is funny. They said the game is out on PS3.
Good catch, i missed that!

Yea, that's the kind of kumbaya shit I said. But then I bought...
Glad to see Velocity is a blast though!

That's cool. It's ok to like the games you like. Whether they be triple A or indie.
But please don't claim that people only like indie games because of an "internet buzz train".

Square Enix made money on the Just Cause 2 PS+ offering, not Avalanche.

I doubt Velocity2X will provide a better experience to me this year than Far Cry 3.
...wut
They are compensated based the number of people that download it so even just doing that on PS+ helps.

Really loving the platforming sections. Was happy to see such a good balance of both ship flying and platforming.
One thing that I feel is a bit tricky is teleporting the ship. Feel like maybe they could have moved that to the right stick. It works much better when you're platforming.

oh, nice. i wasn't completely sure how Plus compensation worked

I'm curious about the actual breakdown. Don't think anyone has ever shared how it works, but it'd be interesting to see
There was one article a while ago that gad a vague description of it. Some compensation just for it to be available but more downloads equals more money on top of that. I guess downloads is the wrong word since I think it's based on "buying" the games. A big part of the reason I always make sure I claim all of the PS+ games.
Fuck yeah
Also Hohokum is pretty great, GOTY contender for me.
That's me too! We should have a beer some time.
Those sorts of documents came out during the Phil Fish hack I think. From the comments on GAF it was a percentage of each "sale" Sony would pay back to the dev.
Edit: beaten

With few exceptions, there is a very specific amount of movement required in teleport sections. It actually works a lot more like it does in the platforming segments than you'd think once you've got the timing town. Alternately, use the touch teleport on Vita.

1. Far Cry 3 came out in 2012
2. What an odd comparison!
He waited till it was in the bargin bin, and He would rather has an mediocre AAA title than indie trash.
Yea He is tripping

Loving this as I knew I would.. Loved velocity from the psp days. So awesome switching between the side scrolling and flying parts. Although I suck at those. Switching between running and then using the right stick to shoot is throwing me off for some reason. Guess I'll just get used to it eventually

Id buy this at full price if I could. I'll support it via paid DLC though. Gane looks great. Can't wait to get a hands on.
Go into PS4 display settings and adjust your safe area.
Incorrect, actually.
