Have it on the Vita when a dev on here announced a sale last year some time. It is actually not a bad game at all, and is fun to jump in and out every now and then. Runs really smooth as well.

Wonder if it is considered cross buy?

 

[Harmen]

Cool, I am interested in trying out Tropico 5 and Tabletop racing.

Also, why would people want anything like WD over this? I mean, that game has been under the ten euro's in sales if I remember correctly. Same goes for many other older "AAA" titles. PSplus at least frequently offers (newer) games with relatively high pricepoints. And games that people are less likely to own or buy already.

It is fair to not like what you get here, it completely is. And is also fine that people consider the Live games better. But my god is there a lot of hyperbole in these threads. For about 4 euro's a month, I am completely satisfied.

Nah, someone in the thread earlier said they went back and did it almost from scratch. Would be a nice surprise though.

Seems it is, it's allowed me to request Vita download, although the page says £1.99

Thanks, just grabbed them. Had to manually search for Vita games though.

 

[Bishop89]

downloading slow arghhh

Yeah, the first game is a lot of fun - like Micro Machines crossed with Mario Kart. Looking forward to giving the sequel a whirl.

I expect that's down to the usual ps store screwups.

I thought TTR was an AR game actually, am I thinking of something else?

 

[weekev]

Any word on what middle east got instead of god of war? usually fuck it up and give eu it too.

 

[Bishop89]

table top racing is decent.

Its mario kart mixed with micro machines.

Cant access multiplayer from the main menu though, so maybe thats not here at launch? I dunno

 

[Hasney]

Yup. Just checked after AbandonedTrolly's post and it wants me to purchase the Vita game. AT got lucky!

 

[Hamster Plugin]

The monthly games section on EU PSN has replaced Switch Galaxy Ultra with something called "Open Me!", but it isn't actually free. Not sure what's going on.

Searching for Switch Galaxy Ultra through search got me the game for free though.

 

[Bishop89]

well there seems to be an extra game on the ps3 ps+ section called "Open Me"...

Could be that? lol

Not showing up for free though, so maybe just an error

 

[Dak'kon]

You can still download Switch Galaxy Ultra for free if you search for it but yeah, another PS+ cockup. Hope nobody adds Open Me to their basket without paying attention...

 

[anonymous_abc]

Yea same here, 1.99.

 

[GOOCHY]

It seems like GoW:Ghost Sparta is still listed at 14.99 on the PS Store.

PSP or PS3 version? The PSP version was free for me.

?

There's definitely a multiplayer option in the main menu, I've been online already.

Pretty fun game!

weird, it was highlighted grey so i couldnt access it, now it works.


Impressions: The game is functional but its not really exciting. The power ups are very basic and graphically poor. Expected at least these to be all flash, but naa.

Controls are fine.


Its an ok game but nothing special.

Basically every Mario Kart clone ever, then.

 

[JetSetRadio]

No drifting and boost start?

 

[Bishop89]

not really, that i can tell.

Edit: an option just showed which allowed me to swap wheels to "drift wheels", so maybe there is some kind of drifting in the game.

 

[BumRush]

Any tropico impressions?

 

[toythatkills]

Any tropico impressions?

Tropico came out a couple of years ago, so there are a bunch of opinions around the place.

Oh cool. I'll hop into the OT

 

[vgamer1]

Disappointed it's not Tetris and Watch Dogs, honestly.

I'll still probably check out Tropico, but that's it.

 

[Greg_le_Casual]

Maybe you are thinking of "TableTop Tanks" which is an AR game.

 

[m@cross]

Any tropico impressions?

I have two friends who enjoy playing it on PS4, and I enjoyed the demo when I tried it last year. Should be a good game for those into that genre, certainly a nice expansion of the variety of games offered through plus.

 

[weekev]

Any tropico impressions?

I really enjoyed it. Really chilled city builder with cartel elements. Runs ok on PS4, would benefit from mouse and keyboard but the controls arent too difficult to get used to.

 

[bosseye]

Hmmmmm, nothing really there for me. Tropico 5 isn't my sort of game (I have played one of the previous versions) and Table Top Racing doesn't look like it will hold my attention for more than a few minutes from what I've seen. I was imaging something more like Micro Machines.

Never mind.

 

[tanooki27]

Tropico, interesting. How's the port?

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

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.

Couldn't of said it better myself.

 

[derExperte]

At this point I'm only subscribing to keep access to my backlog

One day I'll play Okami HD.
ONE DAY.

 

[Teletraan1]

When this service was on PS3 and games were selling like shit compared to the 360 version I would imagine it would be much cheaper for Sony to pony up some money for a not so hot selling AAA game then vs now when the PS4 is actually moving software. The cost to give these games away for free vs actually selling them has to be the reason that there are less AAA games. I for one don't mind. This service exposes me to games that are often off my radar and I play a lot of early access stuff on Steam but you can't pick up every game.

Tropico 5 is a pretty solid game. I hope this port is up to snuff.

 

[Tumle]

Couldn't of said it better myself.

I bet you could! Hyperbole is pretty easy

Tropico is a fantastic city sim.. But it's not watch dogs, so I understand the hate..

 

[Hedrush]

Table Top racing is a really fun game, I missed me some micromachines.

Tropico 5 is really good but the tutorial is a mess. Definitely a game that will require a comprehensive guide.

 

[toythatkills]

Shit's up in NA

 

[Massa]

Couldn't of said it better myself.

You probably could have. For example by not using the word trash to describe well crafted good games.

 

[CrispyGoomba]

For those who end up playing Tropico 5 and end up really liking it, there is a complete edition coming out (Physical copy + All DLC) on June 28. There's already a physical copy of the game you can buy, but the price has not came down in the slightest.

 

[toythatkills]

Well, that's Switch Galaxy Ultra and Table Top Racing deleted already.

 

[BumRush]

Cool, thanks all. Can't wait to try tropico

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

The PSN Plus page in the browser is so clumsy that you may mis PSN Plus games so easily. For example for this month, if you go to the PSN Plus proposed games, you can see only 5 and not 6 liek every month, there is a weird Open me (that wasn't announced in the instant colelction) when you click on it it says it is paid and not free. Switch Galaxy Ultra (PS Vita, PS4) must be there instead of Open Me which is a mistake, and you ahve to search for the game on your own to find it free as part of this month's instant collection. This is really misleading from you Sony especially since even the PS4 PSN Store in PSN Plus section only display Tropico 5 and Table Top Racing: World Tour and no Switch Galaxy Ultra.

Even when you click Playstation Plus in the webstore, only 4 games are displayed from the instant collection (games are the most important part of the PSN Plus more than the discounts), you have to click see all to see all the games for that month which is a bit misleading sicne I today I jus noticed that I missed 2 games from past June collection since mostly I didn't click see all since I was in a hurry. The full list list must be shown when you click on PSN Plus and no need for extra hidden clicks and steps to see them.

Sony must make the instant collection automatically added to those who are subscribed to PSN without all these hurdles or at least add an option in the PSN account for those who forget about the games or miss them or are busy to check in that month just like how Sony added an option to autorefund the wallet and renew PSN Subscription which can be toggled on/off. Also improve webstore to show full collection in one click and no need to click see all to see all the games:

 

[Dash Kappei]

Is Rearmed 2 still always-online drm?

 

[Gobbly]

No split screen multiplayer in TTR? Massive missed opportunity.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

No split screen multiplayer in TTR? Massive missed opportunity.

Many thought it will have local multiplayer but it is just one player on same PS4. For multiplayer, you need to play online.

 

[Ogawa-san]

TTR is kinda cool, like a modern Micro Machines, but so is the gameplay and it's a bit dry. I've beaten the two amateur cups and didn't feel compelled to keep going.

Switch Galaxy Ultra is a browser game though, just embarrassing.

 

[wispsmoke]

Many thiought it will have local multiplayer but it is just one player on same PS4. For multiplayer, you need to play online.

Man, what? Why would they do that? It doesn't seem like it's that demanding a game. Removing local MP just made this game tank in value for me. If I want an online-MP only racing game, I'll head back to Driveclub.

Sounds liike a limited issue though. I had no issues with the web displaying the correct 6 games.

That said, they pay the developer per copy downloaded/purchased so auto adding to the collection would mean they would have to always pay them. We have a very limited power of "voting with our wallets" in not downloading a game.

 

[GOOCHY]

The God of War game actually has pretty nice graphics considering it's a PSP game from 2010.
