Was just checking the what's new section on my PS4 (UK) and there was a video entitled vote to play describing a new feature where you vote on what Plus game you want (out of a choice of three) and the one with the most votes goes up as one of next months plus games (The other two will be available with plus discounts)

Cool idea no? Did a search and didn't find anything else about it.

EDIT- For clarification these pics are screen grabs from the video that was in the what's new section (and has since disappeared) I have not voted and voting doesn't appear to be up yet so it doesn't mean one of these games will be on plus next month if at all.

I would vote Grow Home

Rogan · Jul 30, 2015

Knack is my first choice.

YianGaruga · Jul 30, 2015

noooooooo

people have shitty taste in games

BakkaGames · Jul 30, 2015

Whoa, thats actually pretty nice.

1337 · Jul 30, 2015

Cool. Screenshot?

oti · Jul 30, 2015

The time of Knack has come.

Why???

Hasney · Jul 30, 2015

Let's go Knack!

But this is a cool feature. Most likely not going to be any of the retail games they give out as they'd have to negotiate with publishers, but a choice of indie games could be cool.

Newtype-001 · Jul 30, 2015

Wooow that is cool.

GasProblem · Jul 30, 2015

Having seen the games people pick during Steam sales, people have shit taste. And pick the same games to have a discount over and over again.

chadskin · Jul 30, 2015

Knack!

Carl · Jul 30, 2015

That sounds pretty cool, i've not heard of that

giancarlo123x · Jul 30, 2015

Cheer along people, KNACK! KNACK! KNACK! KNACK! knack... Knack, kna..

Newtype-001 · Jul 30, 2015

I guess its only on the actual system store cause i cant seem to find it on the web store.

shandy706 · Jul 30, 2015

Going by Steam...the game you want never wins.

Voting sucks.

Floex · Jul 30, 2015

Why do people want Knack so much?

This

I'm getting flashbacks to the disappointments of flash deal voting

EDIT: Fuck it

+1 for Knack

Is that a real question?

Because

pizzacat · Jul 30, 2015

Why do you freaks want knack?

Internet voting always gets ruined by nerds pls dont make me lose something cool guys

BriGuy · Jul 30, 2015

I hope The Last of Us goes up there. I've beaten it on the PS3, but I want to replay it in 60fps and just can't justify re-buying a game I already own.

Infernal Monkey · Jul 30, 2015

I hope Putty Squad wins every single month. All three choices are Putty Squad. Putty Squad all year long. Subscribe now to Putty Squad Plus.

Lichter · Jul 30, 2015

Any screenshot?

Carl · Jul 30, 2015

Seems to just be a video advertising the feature for the moment, can't see an actual place to vote?

Not particularly. Most of the really boring mainstream games would get the majority of votes every single time.

oti · Jul 30, 2015

Look at this from this way: Bad AAA games will always win, which means we won't have to pay for them. Better indie games won't win, which means we'll get nice deals for them. Ain't too bad after all.

Was about to say that, Valve abandoned community voting for a reason. It'll lead to lots of salt no matter what wins.

Bootador83 · Jul 30, 2015

I don't believe this, not sure it's the best idea either tbh

ZiggyST · Jul 30, 2015

Floex said:

Because it's a funny game, but they don't want to pay for it.
I had pay $20 for it, and I'm happy with it =p.

jiggles · Jul 30, 2015

Aw, yeah. Games I already own winning the vote for all time. Nobody wanting an indie game on day 1. Let the good times roll.

TM94 · Jul 30, 2015

That's fucking rad imo.

SerTapTap · Jul 30, 2015

It will always be the worst game and the closest to "AAA feel" every time. Not very enthused. But hey, potentially more discounts I guess

SpideySenses · Jul 30, 2015

Did they just confirm Grow Home for PS4 or has that been announced for a while?

Shin-Ra · Jul 30, 2015

Grow Home looks the most interesting to me.

Xenthar · Jul 30, 2015

let's just vote knack so every one gets dissapointed by its shittyness and shut the fuck up once and for all.

LoganNotABoganYouKnowIt!! · Jul 30, 2015

yay, grow home.

Bootador83 · Jul 30, 2015

Grow Home on PS4, was this known?

Faenix1 · Jul 30, 2015

As said in this thread, if steam votes are anything to go by - the games I want are never picked.

Hate this idea.

Also, I'm one of the crazy Knack wanters. I want it but I don't want to outright pay for it. lmfao

The best thing is that knack can only be on PS plus once

Blackthorn · Jul 30, 2015

This is shitty. Developers receive financial rewards for being on PS+, their business shouldn't depend on the whims of a random and easily manipulated vote.

And personally, I'd much rather have a curated service that delivers things I don't expect and broadens my horizons than have what I pay for decided by the unproven tastes of the public.

Would Rocket League, for example, have enjoyed its tremendous success if it had been denied a spot on PS+ because it was outvoted by some streamer's flavour of the month or a bland AAA game from two years ago?

Devil · Jul 30, 2015

I'd rather get a B-Tier Indiegame that may surprise me instaed of fucking Knack.

If peeople would have been able to vote in the past I'd never have experienced such gems as OlliOlli2. Fuck voting!

Spwn · Jul 30, 2015

If Armello isn't the one winning that vote, I'd say that's just horrible. I find that PS+ is great for getting games you're not familiar with, but people tend to choose stuff they already know.

Eggbok · Jul 30, 2015

Floex said:

You question why people want the Game of the Generation?
Is this a joke?

dark_inferno · Jul 30, 2015

I hope we can choose at least one title for every platform.

One for Vita, One for PS3 and one for PS4.

CortexVortex · Jul 30, 2015

Wait, Grow Home is coming to PS4? Amazing news!

Solaire of Astora · Jul 30, 2015

Yup. Perfectly happy with what the service has offered in my two years as a subscriber.

I can just see it now... FIFA 08 beating something great like axiom verge.

Oneself · Jul 30, 2015

WTF? Didn't know Grow Home was coming to PS4!!

El_Cinefilo · Jul 30, 2015

It seems like from the look of it that you'll probably vote from your PS4 on the store. I don't know maybe I'm wrong but I have a little more faith in the people who will actually bother to vote that it'll turn out ok. Unless they do it as AAA crap vs a brilliant Indie game.

Acquiescence · Jul 30, 2015

This thread has left me totally knackered.

Is Zombie Vikings made by the same guys that did Stick it to the Man? That was a great game. I'd vote for ZV.
