Prematurely or not, Sony's announced the European PlayStation Plus lineup for January on Facebook. As part of a video – which hasn't been removed from the platform holder's page yet – the firm reiterated that PlayStation 4 exclusive inFAMOUS: First Light will be your headline freebie for the period, where it'll be joined by cross-buy puzzler The Swapper.
On the PlayStation 3, premium members will unlock complimentary copies of Capcom's high-definition overhaul DuckTales Remastered and superhero sandbox Prototype 2. Meanwhile, handheld owners will also get access to Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition and quirky arcade game Whoa Dave. We should add that at the time of typing, there's no word on whether this roster will be mirrored in North America.
Assuming that it is, though, are you happy with this little lineup – or is it a right ol' slap in the face? Cheer or sneer in the comments section below.

Nice I'll finally try First Light, I loved SS. Can care less about the indie though.
Not a single bad game and a good month, I just have Ducktales, the rest all new to me.
I thought DMC was coming in January.
good month, stoked
The PS4 games were announced back in early November... still no Driveclub...
@Hawk too late buddy. It was out on plus last year.
@RawShark Lol I must have been reading last years January PSN sales brain fart & face palm thanks for the heads up buddy appreciate it
Excellent selection. Shame I own half of them. Happy about First Light though.
The Swapper is a fantastic game. A puzzler with an engaging story and a cool ending.
Yep, good month. Would anyone recommend that I play Second Son before First Ligt?
@Hawk no worries - happens to the best of us
Infamous first light is a result.defo having that.and prototype 2 on ps3 is a winner.nice one sony
And... it looks like we will be getting a couple of games extra! (Rumour)

Nice I can finally check out First Light as Second Son was one of my favorite games last year.
Also nice one for PS3 owners Ducktales. I have it on the Wii U and I must say if you are a fan of the original NES game or platformers in general then this is a must have.
@RawShark Honestly, I would if I was you. You can get it quite cheap now, and it makes sense to play First Light afterwards, as it fleshes one of the main characters out.
I already have First Light, and other than that the lineup is shocking, another poor month as far as I'm concerned. See if they have any good discounts to redeem themselves with
Great, PSN will no doubt be down again when 50 million people try to download 10Gb First Light simultaneously! lol
In other news, I'm looking forward to checking out The Swapper
I love Ducktales! But hopefully it's something different in US since I already have it.
Swapper is the one I want to play. I thought second son was over rated so won't bother with first light
@ZeD well that would be amazing if it actually happens
I literally bought Prototype 2 less than 24 hours ago -_-
Man, what a line up! Dunno what that Dave thing is, but the rest of them are worth the yearly sub alone!
I'm definitely excited about the PS4 games. Second Son was pretty decent, and I didn't really want to pay for First Light, but I definitely want to play it. The Swapper on the other hand, I love!
Just the Swapper for me as I've already got FirstLigt.
Think I will give January a miss with the plus . Just not really my type of game this month . It's nice to see some nice titles up but just not for me . Plus I got a few single player games to rip through so that will keep me busy . Plus don't feel that confident in ps for the time being due to Xmas hack . Many wait a bit till I give them cash again
Is The Swapper worth a download? I bought First Light, well pre-ordered it the day it was announced & already have the Platinum Trophy. I wouldn't mind having a new game to play in January
I all ready have Ducktales but it's awesome. I'm glad more people will give it a chance. It got some unfair reviews IMO. I'll be checking out Prototype 2.
@Splat prototype 2 is a very good game. Did you try the first?
@iSolipsistJudas I'm hyped for swapper, looks really good and got some decent reviews
@Bigcheesy wasn't a hack, any online service can suffer from a DDOS attack. Not much can be done to stop it. Bunch of idiots decided to ruin gamers time that's all
I'm very happy with this month's selections, as I've been wanting to get DuckTales, inFamous Second Light, The Swapper and Prototype 2 for a while. Thank you, Sony!
ALWAYS BET ON DUKE!
Am i the only one that didnt get first light? Ill deffinatly be downloading it, though.
@gbanas92 same. first light just didnt seem worth the 15 dollars, cause it looked too short.
@Dohv First Light is amazing.
*Its actually better than Second Son... But u didn't hear that from me;)
Not bad, wish they had the Ratchet Trilogy on sale or for free for the VITA though.
Best month yet! I'm actually most excited about duke nukem!!!!
@AG_Awesome was literally just on sale for £6.99 I think it was
Woah Dave -__________-
@RawShark I absolutely recommend playing second son first. I think playing first light would take away from the magic of discovering that power in second son.
Nothing catches my eye... Oh well
@RawShark first light is more a prequal to second son. It has the back story of fetch one if the side characters
@RaymanFan2 lolz
@Dohv If you liked SS you'll enjoy First Light. Fetch is an interesting protagonist and she has some cool powers too. Its obviously not as big as SS with the campaign coming in at around 4-5 hours but you also have the arena which can add a good few extra hours.
@RawShark I would recommend getting SS regardless as its a damn good game, if a little easy. Also, if you have SS you can use the main character (Delsin Rowe) in First Lights arena mode.
It's about time Sony gave us something decent. I'm sick of the sight of those indie games.
Can't wait to play first light. Neon was the best power in infamous second son.
This is a pretty good month in my opinion. I already own First Light and Duck Tales but I will definitely be picking up the swapper and prototype 2. I don't have a Vita anymore, but I don't think I'm missing much there....
Thanks all - will pick up Second Son before giving First Light the once over.
( I never got round to playing Infamous 2 either... Woops).
Good stuff
Despite being underwhelmed by SecondSon, I'd still like to give First Light a play through so that's good. Other than that, DukeNukem 3d is the crown jewel here.
@RawWilson1 Yeah, I think the combat is elevated even further in First Light. I hope Fetch is the protagonist in the next game, personally...
@BertoFlyingFox I'm getting it on Vita! I hope it is cross buy with PS3.
@ZeD
Unsubstantiated rumour from one little-known site. I'm not getting my hopes up.
@Enobmah_Shards When the game was accidentally put on a European store update a couple of months back, it was cross buy, so I'd assume that remains the case.
Not a fan of Fetch at all, so First Ligjt is neither here nor there. Augustine wouldve been a good choice.
Digital was the best power by a long shot. That cloaking…
The Swapper will be getting at least a go, that game hasnt really jumped out at me but Ive been on the fence as the idea sounds very interesting.
Tl;dr at least Ill get one of two so good stuff.
Heard good things about The Swapper so I'll try that. First Light I've Platted but it's good fun for the handful of hours it lasts. Duck Tales and Duke Nukem are games I've hated for years so no thanks. Prototype I'll try as never seen a single second of it, same with Whoa Dave. Seems an average month to be fair, fooling people with a 'big' name when it's just a glorified expansion. Better than the last nine months though so that's progress!
@ZeD Sadly I doubt that'll happen. Would be nice but this last few months Sony seem to be doing everything then can to put people off, not put them back on side.
Happy New Year to you all.
@Mrskinner - No I haven't played the first Prototype. I'm going to give the second one a shot anyways since I have been needing something new to play.
@danny2kd Need it in NA Im afraid. All the more reason I hate being a Yank, lol
