I don't get ps+/gwg line-up hype at all, if a game suits my taste i usually buy it months or years before it could theoretically make it's way into the offer, and all the other games i wouldn't play anyway. And all those games are not playable once your sub expires (except for gwg 360 games).

personally speaking PS+ games for me are good to try games i dont buy because im not sure if i like them.

example : loved Darksiders on PS3 and never brought Darksiders II hoping it would show up on PS+ like the first one , it took forever but eventually Darksiders II was offered.

Generally you tend to find the games used for playstation plus are either associated with some form of related content which comes out around the time or theyre games which have performed well to the point that everyone owns them. I can imagine for this reason that one of the playstation plus games is probably either Far cry 4 or God of War 3 remastered for the soon to be released sequels :)

A Gravity Rush would be wonderful, but I'm still party skeptical we're going to get Super Happy Bacon Narwhal Force 12 and some Polygon op-ed bait.

We've had too many decent months in a row now. Come on, Sony...

I have to say, Rime has been a REALLY pleasant surprise for me this month. What a little gem!

My bet, were I a betting man, would be Gravity Rush (either the remaster or 2). Neither have quite got the attention they deserve, and both are very good games. With the exception that you'd have to like the kind of games they are, but I suppose that applies to every game.
I already own GR for Vita and GR2 for PS4, but would be very happy if Sony give one of them (or both) to PS+ subscribers. I feel like it went under the radar for many people.
 
That's actually a great time to release the base version of your game--give it away for free, then bundle all of the DLC and sell it so the free adopters are on par with the new adopters of the Premium Edition.

Razor/Razorblades, and all that.
Was thinking that, too... They're making so much money with GTA V Online RMT that they may eventually shift focus from the base game revenue to pushing the sort of 'Starter Packs' (e.g. the Criminal Enterprise starter pack or the Cash card bundles or this new Premium version rumour).

That said, the base version still sells so much.... I can't imagine why they'd give it for free when enough people are willing to pay full price each month to put it in the top 10 NPD.

If they do put GTA5 on PS+, personally I would wait until the sales decline a fair bit more, and then time it with a holiday... either summer school break or Christmas holiday break -- get it to a lot of new younger players since they're probably the only people that don't own GTA5 yet and would love GTAO/spending RMT on GTA$. They don't want detract from RDR2 either so maybe late this summer could make sense.

And, I'm sure they'll have 1 big GTAO Update for the summer, too... PS+ version if there was one should coincide with a Heists or at least Gunrunning -quality level updates in terms of appeal (to people that don't already have GTA5). Doomsday would have been a good one to make it free with but the game is just still selling too strong yet lol.

Knack 2 so soon after 1 ?.

Maybe Bloodborne? Sounds like a game that was already purchased by anyone who is interested in it (since it has been on sale cheap with the DLC) and would make headlines

Just saw the video in question and knowing just a little bit of Spanish sounds like a marketing play to me nothing more....i wouldnt get my hopes up to be honest

Admittedly at this point I'm arguing semantics, but what the hell, what is the Internet for if not pedantry?

UC4 certainly is a first-party game as it is made by Naughty Dog, which is wholly owned by Sony. But is BloodBorne really one? Sony paid From Software to make it, without a doubt, but isn't it more akin to Bayonetta 2/Nintendo?

Sony owns the Bloodborne IP. If they wanted to make a sequel without From Software they could.

We got Alienation instead.
Oh yeah, forgot that was a PS+ title. So, as it apparently didn't do that well sales-wise (which is a damn shame, as the game is fucking fantastic) - could we be getting Nex Machina? I already bought it, but really more people should play it.

No way it's GTA5. That game is still selling like hotcakes even after 5 years.

Got a feeling it could be Uncharted 4. Game's been out for a while now and it has become pretty cheap.

The thing is it usually becomes games that I've bought already, but certain games that I have already purchased I would have expected to see on PS+ already: AC4, AC Unity, Battlefield 4, TLOU:Remastered, Alien Isolation...

My point is PS+ hasn't released any phenomenal games (in my opinion) yet, and for any that they do it'll probably be games that I've already played since PS+ never puts any great games up yet. Hopefully they change this.

I guess it's a matter of taste/option, but I thought MGS5 and Deus Ex were pretty solid PS+ offerings.

I hope they give away Bloodborne this month. Seems like the player population is way down. I been trying to summon in Cairnhurst and the Unseen Village all day. Can't get no one.
 
It might be a brand new game.. What's coming out in march?
Remember how rocket league was the best free plus game ever?? launch day and free. WUUUT

I’m thinking Bloodborne or Uncharted 4 are pretty good bets.
I would like to see Last Guardian myself since I haven’t purchased it yet and would really like to try it on my pro. Hell, Shadow of Collasus (sp) would b an awesome surprise.

If they put up Gravity Rush 2, it'd maybe get the server shutdown pushed back and I'd love to see more people playing the game, but I can't see that being the thing that gets hype. I bet it's something like the 2015 Battlefront.
