No Knack?
What utter garbage. PS4 owners hosed again.
What utter garbage. PS4 owners hosed again.
Great list, for me at least. Tower of Guns is great, I didn't play enough of it on PC, and so the PS4 version shall be played plenty. Never Alone I've been meaning to play, and Aaru's Awakening looks very cool. Dishonored I played on PC, it is super great. But the standout is Killzone Mercenary, I've been wanting to play this game for ages. Can't wait for that one! I hope the multiplayer is still populated or gets populated enough with it being on Plus.

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
It's exactly what I'm saying
From the Playstation Blog this year:
In america (the continent) PsNow is currently only supported in the US and Canada. If you try to play from the other side of the continent. Say, Chile or Argentina, chances are you are going to get terrible performance even if you have decent internet. Because the distance to the Server is just too great and right now Sony has no local servers for the service.
If I don't get the PsVita games it's because it's my choice to not have that console. If I ever feel like owning one I can go to the nearest store and buy it.
The place where people are born and where they live is often not their choice.
As someone who lives in America and half of his family lives in El Salvador in very poor conditions - I'm well aware. But like I said in the past, you're arguing for less just because you personally can't access it. Some people consider owning a ps4 or vita a luxury that they'll never have and I don't see them complaining about free ps4/vita games and should go away (frankly because the ps3 offerings are great).

I really couldn't get into Mercenary on the vita. It felt like a square peg in a round hole kind of thing. Looked gorgeous though. Surprised so many people are up on it.

That makes two bad months in a row. Not cool.

No one's saying that Sony has to care. Some people will go out of their way to only buy Vita versions of games, but that has no bearing on me. We all want different things. I would personally rather have games that are exclusive to the system or have something in that version that can't be found in any other ones.
The majority of indie games can be run on non-gaming desktop or laptop PCs (or even Macs) with the control scheme of your choosing, so I'd personally choose the more customizable (and potentially better) experience every time when I can.

The whining here is unbelievable. "ohh man I only want retail games..crappy month.. ps+ sucks". For what reason? Who knows. This idea that retail > indie/digital is nonsense. Give the games a try first and you may actually enjoy them. If not, you know the retail games are going to come. Even PS3 started with lesser known titles for + in the first 2 years.
I'm looking forward to trying out Tower of Guns...not looking forward to my backlog on PS4 reaching steam proportions.

I was waiting for sale on Killzone Mercenary for a long time. But that's even better!

So then you WOULD agree with Ps+ getting 2 extra games every month that are exclusive to South America while the US and Europe get nothing new? Right?
Or if Sony tomorrow announced that "Starting Next month Ps+ in Europe will be getting 3 games instead of 2 for every platform but we have no plans of doing this in the US" you'd be happy about it? Right
Because otherwise you'd be arguing for less just because you personally ca't acess it

This is a solid lineup. As a PS4/PS Vita owner, I'm happy

YISSSSS!! I already have Killzone Mercenary, but I'm glad it's a freebie. Been feeling the itch to play online, so hopefully this picks up the online activity for a while
Monsterbag looks cute. I would have bought it even if it wasn't a plus game, just because it captured my curiosity. I'm happy.

This looks to be the strongest month in quite a while. It almost makes up for March. Almost.

Not a bad month. Some interesting titles and I always wanted to try Dishonoured.
There's this weird, unfortunate view that games are on tiers and aren't looked at as games as a whole. Sure, there's price tiers, but fun is fun, I've had loads more fun with a small, $10 game than on some $60 games, and vice versa. I agree with you, these games should be given a try rather than dismissed because they don't have boxed retail versions. PS4 is still young, plenty of time for the big games in the future!

Good month even after already owning Killzone:M
I would like to know this as well. I'm using a 8GB card for PSTV and need to know how much space I'll need to download & install KZ:M.
KZ:M shows up at 3635mb on my Vita, version 1.11. I believe that a 4gb card has 3822mb of usable space.

Well, lets flip it to comparing apples to apples. If they announced that those countries and not the USA got to play 2 PSnow games that month with their PS subscription, I'd of course would want the same amount of content, but at the same time I wouldn't really care since they aren't taking anything away from me, the value of those are pretty low, and I wouldn't cancel my service over it.
PS3 only users do not have to pay to play games online. The software alone has to justify the subscription.

Hahaha I don't have to buy kz now yes!
Well PS3 had been out 8 years, PS4 1 year.
For reference, Dishonored came out in October 2012 on PS3. Over two years ago.

Glad we get Killzone Mercenary but that's about it for me this month.

Another fantastic month, only one I already had was Killzone. Really glad I resisted buying Never Alone now too.

Oh no not indi games!
The only good games that came out for the PS4 last year were indie games, so do you want good indie games or shitty retail games? Take your pick.
It would probably be a good idea for PS Now to have a free rental for PS+ members each week or month, but the IGC is a fundamentally different service and it wouldn't make sense to mix them up. People get confused enough as it is about how ownership of PS+ games works.

Already have KZM, but looks like a decent month. I'm especially happy with Never Alone, been meaning to get that for a while, so that's a nice surprise.

Is it really unbelievable? It is mind-Knacking, I'll give you that.
I haven't seen that quote. Got a link to it? I'd like to Knack some holes in your theory.
Some people have a Knack for that kind of thing.
The Shadow (of Knack) knows.
Knack is available both in retail and digitally. Your point has been Knacked out.
Only if that game is called Knack.
Kinda like waiting for Godot (Knack is God).
Little Big Planet was included in month 1 of the service. Knack-tier.
More like Tower of Runs... to find Knack.
Yeah man, the worst thing ever would be to have too many games included. Slow it down, Sony! You've a Knack for giving me too much value!

Congrats to any Vita owner that did not have Mercenary. *shrugs* I'm as excited for MonsterBag as I was for Woah Dave! and The Hungry Horde which is to say, not much. Was kind of hoping for something like Murasaki's Baby. Ah well, maybe next month will be better for me for the Vita. PS4 and PS3 though, pretty nice set of games.
