PS+ Games For May: Tropico 5, Table Top Racing: World Tour, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2

To me PS Plus is about paying Sony $5 a month to get P2P matchmaking. Any games they decide to throw in, even trash like this, is just a bonus.

How's tabletop racing?
looks fun

Anybody have Table Top Racing impressions? Looks like some mindless fun I could play with the kids.




It also has 4 player split screen, which is a rarity these days. Looks like there could be some fun to be had. The videos make the game appear very clean with a nice solid framerate.

Asked a similar question a couple of pages back and have since looked it up, seems to be releasing May (so straight to PS+?) so i'm guessing user experiences aren't out there. Previews seem positive however, Eurogamer said it's like Micro Machines and Mario Kart had a baby so it can't be too bad surely.
 
I guess they're alright. I'll probably not touch any of them since UC4 and Overwatch will probably fill the next couple of months for me.

Hope it makes some people.
 
The biggest difference between Tropico and SimCity is that the campaign eases you into it. It's a lot better for a beginner.

thanks Hasney! does it have a good gameplay loop? ie: if i fail, i will feel like jumping back in to make better decisions? i'm really just hoping it can satisfy my boredom for when i don't feel like playing action games and shooters etc.

table top racing looks pretty neat i guess. i'm terrible at sim racers, so this looks closer to my tastes. if anything, it reminds me of the old micromachines games i loved as a kid.

For many, the perception of a decline in big hits landing on PS+ coincides with it being needed for MP on the PS4. So it seems we're paying for something that used to be free and the thing we used to actually pay for has suffered in the process.

I say this as someone who usually finds at least one game a month that I like, too. I'm not one of those IT NEEDS TO BE AAA MOTHERFUCKERS type of guy but it's really obvious that PS+ isn't even close to what it was 3-4 years ago.

Lord what terrible month, you win some you lose some. Quick question how does PS plus work, can you keep your games if you drop the sub?

No. Free games go away (and come back if you resubscribe later). But if you buy anything with the + discounts, you get to keep all those games regardless of subscription ending.

So much better than that rumor. Tropico is a game I wouldn't buy, but am willing to try. That's what I want from plus.

The worst part about paying for P2P (and the resulting increase in PS+ subscriptions) is that it has been a year and a half and online isn't noticeably better. They aren't using that money for download speeds, that's for sure.

And every month lately, there seems to be 1-2 PS3/PSV games that are ancient. I found adding PS3 Super Stardust Ultra an insult as it was a game that has been on sale for $1 before. Way to break the bank, Sony.

It really sucks how on PS3 era it really had an added value, MP free but you get some nice discounts and games here and there and really big, well known games.

Now it is mandatory to even play online, at least for me, not a good selection of games besides a jewel every 2-3 months, and as you mention not even a improvement of PSN, you would think they could even use that money on R&D so we can change our PSN names.
 
Tropico is nice but giving PSP games for vita owners is insulting. Other 4 games I'm not even sure if I'll bother to add them to my collection.

eh, they've given away some great PSP games in the past. I don't think it's that much of a problem really so long as the PSP game given is good, like in this case

There really are no games that anyone could name, that they think would be a great PS4 PS+ game (realistic too) that 10 people wouldn't say:

1. Its old
2. It was on sale last month
3. I own it
4. Its not AAA
5. Its not AAA enough
6. Its Indie crap
7. If I wanted this, I would have bought it 6 months ago / used for $8
8. Knack
9. PS+ hasnt been good since Dont Starve / Outlast / MGS / Zombi / BroForce / Rocket League
10. LOUD WORDS!!!

Yeah, the campaign itself is pretty good, you have a reason for doing everything and building things as well as some choices with siding with certain factions. There's always something to aim for and keep you going.

So true.

Honorable Mention:

11. In to let everyone know I am letting my sub lapse, and not renewing.

Has there ever been a PS4 AAA game released on PSN that people have complained about?

OK this is just not a good selection here, c'mon guys.
It is to me though?

I honestly am interested in trying all 3 PS4 games, so...

Also, Tropico 5 is a $60 retail game (with 75 average MC), and Tabletop Racing WT a brand new game ... Now it may not interest YOU, but how can you just flat out say it isn't good as if it's a fact?

Ya I feel like everybody complains to much.. guys what would you like? Brand new AAA games for free? You guys need to get your expectations in check. I remeber when rocket league was announced and people complained about that too.

Dammit. Tropico 5 is a good game, but I really wanted to try Watch_Dogs. That fake leak... :(

Never trust a blurry picture on the internet.

Was the guy in some super secret Sony office, and he had to quickly sneak a picture when no one was looking? Like out of a spy movie? And he had to do it quick, so the picture is sideways and out of focus?
