- Start date
The rest of the lineup won't be announced until the end of the month. This early "reveal" is atypical.

Doesn't seem anything like Galak-Z in gameplay and mechanics. Just space and shooting.
If you want a shmup like Gradius on PS4, you should buy DariusBurst Chronicle Saviours. It's crazy good.
Jamestown+ is top down, 2D and and not high speed space ship technoporn, but is also a really good shmup.

I wish. I played the beta and it was boring. Will give it another shot tho.

I sure hope the game can keep a community for a while. Seems fun with friends.
EDIT: and by that I mean the game doesn't look much fun =/ it is just that having a good community helps. But who am I kidding; I won't be able to maintain regular play times (which means no friends to play with) and the community will either die quickly or rapidly become toxic. Considering it is a small game coming out close to The Division and Uncharted 4, I'm willing to bet it will barely exist at all to begin with.
Good as in 'they can still be technically impressive and make good songs once in a blue moon'.
I'm so bitter Muse is not what it once was.

Ok number one this is a very deep game. A combination of being somewhat deep + requiring lots of players to shine + price tag basically held it back. Going free on PS+ is one of the best things that could have happened to the game and something I personally pushed.
With that said, while not for everyone, this game is the spiritual successor of Subspace, the Station's Cosmic Rift, and Armada. It's definitely got the potential to attract a hardcore community. Don't count this one out, the game is not simple, requires a crapload of skill, and has some insane game modes like Capital Ship.
From the other thread:
Beta Test starting. A bunch of us tried the Alpha, game is alot of fun, strategic spaceship pew pew combat with interesting class play. Game feels alot like Subspace Continumm. I played extensively throughout the Alpha and think they've got something really good going on here. Anyone I gave an alpha key to, the game client you downloaded will work in the beta (will already have updated)
Also Crossplay between Steam and PS4!

Well I'm both delighted I wasn't the only one to think of Muse, and saddened by the truth of this. They used to be so fucking good. Used to be.
Anyway, yay for another fun looking Indie I guess?

While I definitely appreciate well crafted levels (hello dark souls/bloodborne/etc), for games like this, random level generation is essential to the replayability. Do you think I would have spent hundreds of hours with spelunky if the levels were the same all the time? Do you think people would be crazy about the binding of Isaac without all the randomness?
Granted, randomly generated content can be iffy at times, but when done well, it can make games so much more replayable.

Honestly, while I dont think Id like this, if PS+ must be an indie welfare system, id rather they push titles like this and rocket league.
Astebreed is also really good shmup.

I was about to say. This game has PS+ written all over it.
Bamelin clappin' back.
When it comes to PS+ games, I still haven't played Transistor yet... X_X If I hear good things about this game, I'll give it a shot.

As someone who really doesn't care for anything they did after Blackholes and Revelations, bar a handful of songs, I really like Drones. It's nowhere near Origin or Absolution, but it's really good.

I was able to participate in the beta on PS4 and I really enjoyed it. It was fun playing with friends as well. Can't wait to try out more ships since I stuck to improving my skill with my three main ones.
People are probably going to see this when it's announced as PS Plus and assume it's a shmup. Oh whale.
PS Plus is a great way to jumpstart the playerbase. Count me in on this one.

Another PS+ thread, another time for people to hate on indie games.. It looks interesting, I've been pretty happy with most of the multiplayer focused PS+ games on ps4, so I'm definitely trying this one out.
To some extent, I don't think Sony gives a shit anymore. They're probably trying to stay within a pretty tight budget and know that people can't quit Plus because of online. The games used to be the draw, but now they're just a bullet point Sony has to fill out each month.

No but seriously, I agree with you. I guess since they know they get our money for multiplayer now, they don't need to try anymore.

Would it kill them to offer games like Killzone Shadowfall, Knack, or any of the PS4 launch games for PS Plus?
I didn't realize Galak-Z was a 10v10 multiplayer territory command game.
I mean, space shooter or whatever it is.
I don't play multiplayer games, but Dead Star looks too much like Galak (I didn't even know it was a multiplayer game).

Keep giving us the lesser known games. For selfish reasons I don't want aaa as it'll probably be something I've already beat

This. I only had an Xbox 360 last gen so there are a lot of great PS3 games that I never got to play. Those would really have a lot of value for me, since the remasters are usually fully priced as a new game. I nearly bit on Heavy Rain for £25 the other day, but I'm hoping that's the kind of thing we get on plus.
