I got God of War® Collection PS3 as it says "Additional purchase info: For one price get access to this product for BOTH PS3™ and PlayStation®Vita systems. Purchase it on one system and it's automatically available in the PlayStation®Store on the other."
However, God of War®: Collection PS Vita still says it's $3.74 and when I add to cart I get the message "You are not eligible to purchase or download this content."
The Vita store listing also has no mention of the cross-buy so I thought it might be like some others that were a one-way cross-buy where you have to purchase the PS3 edition to qualify.
Does the Playstation TV support local co-op (more than one remote on the system), or just support one player like the Vita would & need online or ad-hoc?
I would want the ability to gift the game instead then to sell it.
Even nicer would be the ability to remove a plus game during a sale in order to purchase a game you would like to keep without the dwindling value of the PlayStation Plus service (gone are the better instant game offerings and higher plus discounts during sales)
@hi_drnick when I read that I was like WOW 😱 First time I have heard of Sony doing something like this. Only negative is if BLAMDrew wanted to own this game instead of just having it in his Plus library.
Look at Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition, it can't be purchased anymore so they only way a Plus Member would have access to it would to keep their subscription going.
I learned my lesson with being an early adopter with Helldivers (DLC Packs, Mega Edition, Plus offering & if you own you can't get the DLC like the terrain pack in the US) and will wait for more than a 10% & theme incentive.
I will wait and see how DLC will be for this game or if there will even be any.
@sub12 I agree that long term support is questionable (Having purchased the PS Eye, Move, Playstation TV, & Vita).
I am done purchasing Sony's promising tech with limited support.
Sony has been going downhill. Weaker PS Plus now vs pre-PS4 Weak YouTube Plus Hype Video (only show PS4 now & no introduction) No longer respond to comments on the blog or just respond to dumb things like - Beyond
What Microsoft did is maybe hurt themselves with the announcement.
Those players who read these types of announcements and thinking of using a tax return on a Xbox One will now hold off buying a Xbox One now and wait for Version 1.5 or maybe just end up buying a PS4.
If they do it the Genesis did with addon's ONLY then fine.
Sega messed up by doing both addon's for the Genesis and by also releasing another console the Saturn at the same time splitting their players, developers, etc., as they were not identical and could not run the same software.
This is a better month in my eyes as we get one game that is new BroForce & a game without extra Plus Members DLC Galak-Z
Last Month's Helldivers was a SLAP in the face to almost everyone who already Purchased it. In the US it came with two DLC packs & changed the game as they all got the Ranger to find stuff and Terrain to walk faster in snow & swamps.
Even though we had plus too we were ineligible for the DLC on this Sony published game.
I have been ok with games I purchased becoming free as they got the same thing I purchased & this was the first time I can remember a plus game coming with DLC that was a SLAP in the face to those who already Purchased.
This is the first time I have felt like Playstation slapped me in the face with Playstation Plus.
I have had it happen several times before where a game I purchased has become a PlayStation Plus title & told myself at least I wanted the game & purchased it.
This time however the offender is Helldivers: Democracy Edition. Not specifically the game but the included Terrain Specialist Pack DLC.
It's not included in the PS4 Super Earth Edition Disc or the Mega Bundle DLC.
So this time Playstation Plus Subscribers who didn't get the game before are getting something the rest of us didn't get.
Sure it's 50% off but should be FREE as Sony is the Publisher of the game & sets the prices according to Arrowhead Games.
I also voted for Armello. Wish it had a demo as I am in the same boat & would like to to experience this.
I got Zombie Vikings on a Twitter contest and love it way more than Grow Home. It even has a dream level called FE that is is 3D kind of like Grow Home where you are a creature that can disguise himself as a plant & climb trees and glide across them. You can also throw seeds and grow a different type of tree.
Grow home feels very buggy to me as things disappeared on my game so can't get the trophy or experience it and sometimes BUD will climb inside of the plant and you can't see him.
[url=https://t.co/1HtuNIjj07] I created a Google sheet that auto calculates the % off & gets Metacritic score (if it's named right or not a bundle, even get's an alternate score because sometimes that platform does not have enough reviews)[/url]
@Matroska Actually both Armello & Zombie Vikings will be the same price $19.99. Grow Home will most likely be the cheapest if it follows Steam Pricing $7.99
@Squiggle55 I agree after speaking with the Armello on Twitter it is a single player experience vs bots or multi-player online. Armello did not implement a second screen feature for couch co-op.
I also agree this game could benefit the most from PS+ as most would not be willing to purchase this game outright like they would with Grow Home & Zombie Vikings.
@ohhaime On, this sites vote I went with the masses and voted for Grow Home.
After, some research I agree with you. 1) Grow Home is cheap 2) Grow Home is short
Armello is the only one that has potential.
How many 4 player brawlers games like Zombie Viking will there be in the PS4's lifespan? It's not that unique on the PS3 we had Scott Pilgrim, Castle Crashers, etc.,
Thinking about it Armello is probably the only game that could shine on the Playstation Platform if the devs implemented it.
Grow Home could use the speaker, accelerometer, & light bar However, I don't foresee them using anything.
Zombie Viking I see they only using the light bar for player colors for couch co-op.
Armello if it is also a couch co-op I could see it using Second Screen to hide your cards and resources from friends & family members. It could help Sony push the use of their apps.
It could also play card animations, dice roll sounds out the dual shock 4's speaker & could use the light bar for couch co-op or for health or similar in single player.
Has anyone else played Transistor with the dual shock 4's speaker option? It's strange on how much more that option added to the game.
Looking at Steam Grow Home $7.99 USD Armello (was early access but will be) $19.99 USD Zombie Viking $?.?? USD
I can't find Zombie for Steam is it going to start out as a PS4 Only Game, Stick It To The Man isn't.
Funny how a cheaper game is winning votes.
I think I will vote for Armello and pay for Grow Home. Let Playstation pay for the more expensive game I am curious about & I will pay for the cheaper game.
Armello looks similar to Catan but more complex & not as fun. Maybe they could get in contact with Catan and licence the game. Reuse a lot of the code & implement all of Catan addons. Not that much info on this one.
I know I would probably play Grow Home so will probably get my vote unless Armello comes out with a good trailer inticicing votes & interest.
If we own the original vita release do we get a discount for the PS4 re-imagining?
I know it's not a straight port but sounds like a deluxe edition type of thing so much of it will be the same. If I didn't own the original I would be all over this. With owning the original I want a discount, flash sale, or for it to go to PS+
I will wait for the second game to be a plus freebie before I get anything else Tomb Raider after such a long exclusively deal. That or for it to end up in a Flash Sale.
I am still mad Keiji Inafune hasn't made Soul Sacrifice work for the Vita/PlayStation TV in the USA & Europe yet it works in Japan. I purchased this game three time for three different Vita's and only Delta works. I would have to buy copies for each of the Vita's again as you can't play the original with the newer one.
Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones & Sound Shapes say they are not compatible with a Vita/Playstation TV leaving just CastleStorm Complete Edition for that system.
I guess if a person had just a Vita TV a PS+ subscription would be a hard sale as they would have even less out of it than most.
I also don't understand why Sound Shapes would not work as it works on a PS3 & PS4 (must not want to patch some code that says it's ok to run).
Don't know about Stealth 2 but is says it uses a touchscreen for the vita.
Also are we getting Sound Shapes Ultimate Bundle or just the normal edition?
I thought we can't get the same game twice. We already got LIMBO for the Vita with PS+.
Sure it is for a different system (not our fault that it's not cross-buy). However, it's still technically the same game as last I looked it never got not an enhancedgame of the year edition like say CastleStorm did that's also not a cross-buy for every system.

Re: PlayStation Exclusive Prices Plunge in NA PS Store Sale
I got God of War® Collection PS3 as it says
"Additional purchase info: For one price get access to this product for BOTH PS3™ and PlayStation®Vita systems. Purchase it on one system and it's automatically available in the PlayStation®Store on the other."
However, God of War®: Collection PS Vita still says it's $3.74 and when I add to cart I get the message "You are not eligible to purchase or download this content."
The Vita store listing also has no mention of the cross-buy so I thought it might be like some others that were a one-way cross-buy where you have to purchase the PS3 edition to qualify.

I wonder why if they have the rights for a PS4 release why they also didn't put it back in the store for the Vita & PS3?
Re: E3 2016: Zoink! Games' 3D Platformer Fe Looks Fetching and Fanciful

Re: Housemarque Confirms Local Co-Op for Alienation the Only Way It Knows How
I can say not having local co-op on release is causing me to forgo a pre-order & instead wait for an eventual sale or to be added to the Plus library.
Re: Talking Point: What May PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Want?
Plus should give a new release & one library game each month to the PS4.
Also some local co-op Vita games for the Abandoned Playstation TV would be nice or even better a sale for these few games.
Re: Review: Alienation (PS4)
How does this compare to Helldivers?
Does it also have friendly fire & vehicles you can get in?
Also thank you for letting us know there is no Offline co-op (I'm disappointed with this so will wait for a sale & glad I didn't pre-order)
Re: PS4 Games Go Seriously Cheap in US Flash Sale
Alien Isolation has the PS4 Bundle also on sale. It's not on the official list so you need to search.
There were also 4 cross-buy games added to the normal deals yesterday and include: The Swapper, Proteus, Mousecraft, & Lone Survivor

Re: Sony Really Is Making a 4K Compatible Superpowered PS4, Sources Say
@BAMozzy "Existing games could receive a 'patch' that puts this option in - maybe a sizeable one if it means updating the whole textures pack."
Why waste hard drive space on the version 1.0?
Is this going to be like the 3DS vs New 3DS with the 1 exclusive game.
Hopefully PlayStation keeps it "For The Players" & doesn't harm/hinder ver 1.0 owners or they will loose those players when the PS5 comes out.
I also hope this is not a history repeat like Sega dividing it's users 32X vs Saturn.
Re: Poll: Would You Sell Back Your Digital PS4 Games for PSN Credit?
I would want the ability to gift the game instead then to sell it.

Re: Sony to Hold Recruitment Fair for Axed Lionhead Employees

Re: Store Update: 8th March 2016 (North America)
Sony should also actually have Playstation Plus Discounts too with these themed sales.
It would also be nice if DLC was included in the themed sale.
Re: One of Your Free April PlayStation Plus Games Has Already Been Revealed
@hi_drnick when I read that I was like WOW 😱
First time I have heard of Sony doing something like this. Only negative is if BLAMDrew wanted to own this game instead of just having it in his Plus library.

Re: Alienation Annihilates Evil Alien Aggressors this April on PS4

Re: Your PS4 PlayStation Plus Freebie for March Has Been Decided
I know last time I told everyone to not vote for Grow Home as it was the cheapest game.
This time I am thinking Action Henk will be the cheapest.
I am also thinking that Android Cactus would have been the better choice as it is also for the Vita.
Last I looked BroForce canceled their plans for the Vita.
Action Henk is also suppose to be for all three systems.
Re: Sony Shows Some Love with Valentine's Day Flash Sale in North America
I too got Soul Sacrifice Delta as it works on the Playstation TV.
Already had Soul Sacrifice but that one does not work on the TV.
I also recommend Jackbox Party Pack 2 fun game that uses phones, tablets, PC, etc as a controller.
Blazerush is also on sale for the PS4 but only listed for the PS3 on the sale charts so you have to search for it.
Re: Store Update: 2nd February 2016 (North America)
At least with the Mega Bundle or Disc it evened out what ever prior version of the game was purchased.
But the Democracy Strikes Back Edition changed all that with new DLC included.

@k_andersen did you ever have problems with the camera having BUD inside the plant?
Also does this game have a new game+ mode?
I made it to the top got a seed and now the rest disappeared.
The bull is also gone from the cave & other stuff missing.
I hate to find all the silver things twice.

Re: The Vote for Your Next PS4 PlayStation Plus Freebie Is Live
Looking at Steam
Grow Home $7.99 USD
Armello (was early access but will be) $19.99 USD
Zombie Viking $?.?? USD
Why does it seem like everyone out there wants Sony to pay for the cheaper game?
Then we will have people complaining that they would have rather just bought Grow Home as they are planning on canceling PS+.
It is also looking like Grow Home may come with the least amount of play time.
Doesn't Sammy always say PS+ is good for bringing games to the masses that most people wouldn't have tried otherwise.
Looking at the list Grow Home is the only game I see most people willing to purchase out of pocket.

Re: Vote for One of Your Free PS4 PlayStation Plus Games This Week
Armello looks similar to Catan but more complex & not as fun. Maybe they could get in contact with Catan and licence the game. Reuse a lot of the code & implement all of Catan addons.

Re: Feature: What Are August 2015's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
