I’m ok with this update, I was expecting something like DO5 to come out but RE is always accepted by me.
Anyway AC3 is really really bad game… I bought it for 90 USD’s when it came out (haven’t played it ever since) and I wish I’d never done that so EU doesn’t have it any better and Microsoft is giving us **** this month (again) so I don’t even feel like complaining about it.
Just wished you updated the store faster, seriously I don’t like waiting till 5 pm sometimes to get the new games or the “Free” ones.
I use a different account for Plus, just so we are clear about it, cheers everyone.
@PrimeroIncognito: When are you going to stop complaining about the complains. It is like somebody is attacking your mom. Plus isn’t 49 cents per week. People don’t have to pay that amount. They pay 50 bucks right away. You are the only “jerk” here. Stop being a fanboy and stop d*ck ridding Sony.
Please don’t listen to half of the post for the last 5 pages, we seem to have many people that still don’t consider how much they are getting for only $5 a month. Much less if you can catch the deals going on the store or Amazon.com
We are actually getting a new PSVita/PS3 game but all seem to ignore it.
I am looking forward to the RE game as I haven’t had the chance to play it nor would I have bought it.
Looking forward to getting my PS3, PSVita and PS4 games and discounts while on PS+.
The collection this month is really sub-par. i mean its really bad im glad my subscription is expired now cause it seems like the last few months was a real waste, you either had games I already had or ones that I had no interest in, dont expect me to renew my subscription till I get a Ps4 or until you can get your act together down there, and personally you should put less focus on the ps vita its really taking away from what you could offer to the main console.
Pretty weak lineup this month. Re-thinking my subscription if this is the direction PS+ going. You could have at least done the ico/sotc bundle instead of trying to get people to play one so they might buy the other. I mean, SOTC is like 7 years old.
Other than GTA5 and Diablo 3 coming out for this month, this PS+ month is gonna be horrible. I hope there will be better sales for the upcoming weeks as well.
I’m glad my subscription ended yesterday when I read what was coming to the IGC and discounts because I wont be renewing my PSN Plus account for the next few months seeing how this month’s lack of games and poor discounts is the first thing people are getting for this week.
I don’t know whose in charge of organizing what content gets released each week but they should be fired and find someone who is more intune of what the people paying for the PS Plus subscription want. The last two months been stale and boring.
@Chakane048 & Conaaando PSN hasn’t updated yet and won’t until tomorrow. Stop being impatient.
@carlpain Your post makes me laugh. He’ll complain to the complains whenever he wants. He said 97 cents, not 49 stupid. Your the jerk, not him. Stop being such an idiot.
For all the people complaining about no RPG’s, they have had RPG games free for plus, but knowing consumers, everyone would complain about whatever they choose for that too.
Had we gotten AC3, I’m sure everyone here would whine that everyone already has the game instead.
Can’t please everyone. There’s really no solid solution to providing ANY content on a service like this. You’re always going to please some, and displease even more.
Frankly, if you’re waiting to buy some of the biggest releases then you deserve to miss out even longer on them. Buy them if you want them so badly. Obviously you don’t, or you’d own them. So not having them free on PS+ shouldn’t be a huge issue for a game you didn’t feel was worth buying since it’s release.
Prime works for sony or is the biggest ass kisser i ever seen haha. nothing new from this guy. if sony told him to bend over and take it he would. Gamerzlimited is a Prime fan boi Smfhh.
Wow… Resident Evil, Ico, GTA, Rayman and Galaga and people are whining about PS+? These games are way better than AC3, if you are requesting it you clearly didn’t play it.
Like mentioned if you want AC3 so bad just buy it and give them a break, you subscribed for new games every month and this is what you get, will you whine every freaking month there are no games to your liking?
I’m somewhere in the middle here. I haven’t been a member that long, but if I step back and look at the IGC, there’s no doubt I’m getting my money’s worth with my membership. Uncharted 3, LBP Carting, Saint’s Row 3, Hitman, Oddworld, Machinarium and I duck as I say this,,, the pinball games are all right in my wheelhouse.
However, I see what EU members get, and drool a little, too. lol
They ask us for our feedback,,, and they are getting it. Everyone on all sides of this are just saying what they think.
I ride nobody’s jock. I’m simply a conductor of truth. I know a simpleton like you can’t understand that, but that’s all there is to it. I’m not praising Sony. I’m criticizing selfish crybabies such as yourself.
It amuses me to see you claim I’m a Sony fanboy when I only own 2 Sony products. My PS3, and an old 20GB HDD MP3 player.
My TV is a Panasonic Viera, my desktop PC is a Gateway, my laptop is also a Gateway (almost bought a Toshiba Satellite instead and now wish I did), and my cell phone is a Samsung (had a Motorola and a Nokia before that). I don’t do brand loyalty. I buy what I like/need while factoring in versatility of features and value. Still think I’m a Sony fanboy?
While I don’t really care for the PS3 games this week (already bought them), I’m liking the Vita content.
To say that you aren’t getting your money’s worth though? Stupidity. I mean do you need someone to show you how much each game you get is worth, combined with the sales/discounts to see how much of a great value this is?
Man, as a PS fan, it sucks to see so much entitlement here week after week. I’m guessing its the fact that complainers tend to be more vocal than a content person….at least I hope so because if the PS community is really this dumb, its a pretty sad state of affairs.
I just renewed my PS+ membership and I’m good till 2015. :)
I seee you’reee stillllll havingggg troubleeee withhhh thatttt lazyyyyy fingerrrrrr…
And you spelled “sorrow” wrong too. I’m sure you didn’t even realize it though. Go back to kindergarten, wanksta.
You’re probably still mad at me for obliterating your goofball argument about internet bullying about a year ago… that’s all this is. That, and the fact that wanna-be gangsters like you are always the biggest pansies when you catch them alone… you hate yourself, don’t you… just admit it…
I don’t work for Sony, I work for me. (I don’t work AT Sony either.)
Another “bleh” update, seriously. Nothing much good here, two shooters (Even though I love RE) and a game without the other half of the collection. At least one of the Vita games are good. Oh well, maybe in October we’ll actually get at least 1 triple A title, and not another shooter as one second / and or / third free game.
2 months in a row worse then EU PS+….great job US PS+.
I’m very angry, in my 3 months subscription’m completely disappointed, please surprise us next month PLEASE!
Retro City Rampage is a great game and all, but come on. How many times is it going to be given away for free and put on sale for??
How about some sale prices oh the overpriced Capcom Arcade Cabinet. $30 was too much for the DLC version of it. If it were Bluray disc with a packaged book of Capcom history, etc I would consider it, but not this… $15 ad I’m all over it.
People are angry for what? if you want Assassins creed so bad, then go buy it. Service has easily paid for itself already with sr3, uc3, lbpk, hitman,etc, and that’s only 2 months of what i rmemeber. Some of you only post to whine.
Wait, isn’t this post basically the same as the early one on Friday, which set off over 500 comments that are exactly like this post? And, in fact, pretty much every Plus post? I can’t see that all the complaining and threatening have had any effect in the past year. Jack Tretton said Plus grew something like 144% in the 12 months prior to E3. Success like that means they’re not going to change what they’re doing.
Since the American psn plus started to give psvita games too, the quality and the quantity of the games given, been decaying vertiginously. So sad… after 3 years I think I’ll not renew this time.
I bought Castle of Illusion HD, but I didn’t receive the original game and the theme as promised. There was “bônus” and Coming soon write in the image, so I bought. What’s wrong?
Europe have the liste of the games 2 weeks before and they have all the title in the first day of the month
some game they have : Red dead redemption, batman harkam city, Mortal kombat (ps3 and vita), NFS most wanted, Assassin’s Credd 3, Metal Gear HD collection (Ps Vita), Jak and daxter Collection HD (ps3 and vita !!!!), Reckoning, Shadow of the Colossus HD, Catherine, Okami HD, Mass Effect 3, Dead or Alive 5, God of War HD, F1 Race Stars and more !!!! that is just the games i want.
i forget for the persons who say take a european account, ok because you can have 2 account with the ps3, but for the vita ??? i am a trophy hunter and the games in europe have better trophy and platinium, if i can make 2 account in my vita ok no probleme but if you take a second account all of the vita game are lost. Something are wrong in your politic sony, the same probleme again and again = ZONE.
Lets all just cry,when PS plus hit most of the games that came out on IGC i already owned.It never bothered me the slightest.I think everyone is blowing this out of proportion.
This update is disappointing, but I don’t expect every one to be absolutely stellar. What annoys me (and more than a few others too I am sure) is that a couple of weeks ago they offered a Tomb Raider bundle at additional discount for Plus subscribers. There was a glitch in it. In a nutshell, PSN would take your money, but then give you an error when you went to download. You could use your funds for something else, but forget about getting a refund. Beyond the total lack of customer support, they did fix it once the sale expired. But they made no compensation for anyone who had tried to buy it. Let me emphasize that the store would take add funds to your account and afterward give you an error when you went to download. Nice one, Sony!
I’ve noticed some inquiries about DOA5 Ultimate. I was kinda looking forward to that. This morning I noticed that on Xbox live they had put up 92(!) pieces of DLC for DOA5 Ultimate. Wow, I am guessing “Ultimate” might be a bit of an exaggeration LOL. This is almost a scam: repackaging a near identical product in a desperate attempt to increase your revenue. Unbelievably (or actually very believably) Capcom is releasing Ultra Street Fighter 4 next year….

-Alejandro-
Resident Evil does not appear as a free option to me as well. Please fix it. Thanks.
As long as they’re for free, I receive all these games with open hands. But to be fair, Sony is still in debt with us. The IGC needs an RPG.

Worst PS+ UPDATE ever… RE its nice but its and OLD game and the others are just lame…
Where its AC3?…. #GamescomFaiL

It’s called NAPS, people:
North
America
PSPlus
Sucks
@PainOfSarrow I’m nobody’s fanboy. He’s just speaking the truth and I’m just saying we should listen to him for once.
I though we were getting ICO as well?
Wow… Resident Evil, Ico, GTA, Rayman and Galaga and people are whining about PS+? These games are way better than AC3, if you are requesting it you clearly didn’t play it.

Thanks for the kind words.
@ PainOfSarrow a.k.a. Wanksta
I seee you’reee stillllll havingggg troubleeee withhhh thatttt lazyyyyy fingerrrrrr…
And you spelled “sorrow” wrong too. I’m sure you didn’t even realize it though. Go back to kindergarten, wanksta.

I don’t work for Sony, I work for me. (I don’t work AT Sony either.)
I’m satisfied with RE but i wouldn’t say excited, and BLahh to the other crap
Another “bleh” update, seriously. Nothing much good here, two shooters (Even though I love RE) and a game without the other half of the collection. At least one of the Vita games are good. Oh well, maybe in October we’ll actually get at least 1 triple A title, and not another shooter as one second / and or / third free game.
@ 4 don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
2 months in a row worse then EU PS+….great job US PS+.
I’m very angry, in my 3 months subscription’m completely disappointed, please surprise us next month PLEASE!
SKYRIM FOR PLUS PLEASE!
@PrimeroIncognito No problem, it’s what I do. I just wish people here actually listen to you and not ignore what you say.
Retro City Rampage is a great game and all, but come on. How many times is it going to be given away for free and put on sale for??
How about some sale prices oh the overpriced Capcom Arcade Cabinet. $30 was too much for the DLC version of it. If it were Bluray disc with a packaged book of Capcom history, etc I would consider it, but not this… $15 ad I’m all over it.
@260 I totally agree with you.
I can’t wait to try the demo for Kick Beat and Rayman Legends! Woot!
BTW Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate digital release?
People are angry for what? if you want Assassins creed so bad, then go buy it. Service has easily paid for itself already with sr3, uc3, lbpk, hitman,etc, and that’s only 2 months of what i rmemeber. Some of you only post to whine.
Not too bad…. at least better than AC3….i guess
Could you please please make a discount on Infamous 2?
I wanted the game since ever and I wasn’t on plus when it was free.
Wait, isn’t this post basically the same as the early one on Friday, which set off over 500 comments that are exactly like this post? And, in fact, pretty much every Plus post? I can’t see that all the complaining and threatening have had any effect in the past year. Jack Tretton said Plus grew something like 144% in the 12 months prior to E3. Success like that means they’re not going to change what they’re doing.
I’ve actually always been curious about those RE games, looking forward to this :)
Since the American psn plus started to give psvita games too, the quality and the quantity of the games given, been decaying vertiginously. So sad… after 3 years I think I’ll not renew this time.
@ lisastunami,
Straight from Sony: “PlayStation Plus has seen a 144% increase in Subscriptions with an average 95% satisfaction rate.”
Back in October, the subscription rate increase was 259%.
So not only are people subscribing like crazy to PS+, but 95% of people seem to agree that they are content with the service.
They aren’t going to mess with what is obviously working and a huge success.
I’m sure its just a case of the vocal minority on here being quick to always complain that they aren’t getting AAA games every month and every update.
So much complaining over $4 and change per month, I just don’t get it…
I bought Castle of Illusion HD, but I didn’t receive the original game and the theme as promised. There was “bônus” and Coming soon write in the image, so I bought. What’s wrong?
So the game of the month is a god damn Wii game? “but hey, it’s in HD!”
Screw this.
@nolo451
If they’ll still give us this bad updates the number of people subscribing PS+ will drop to 0 very soon so it’s sony’s (aka thiefs) call.
Another garbage for vita subscribers. Keep it up.
what????
worst update ever.
Why you don’t make the same titles for all !!!
Europe have the liste of the games 2 weeks before and they have all the title in the first day of the month
some game they have : Red dead redemption, batman harkam city, Mortal kombat (ps3 and vita), NFS most wanted, Assassin’s Credd 3, Metal Gear HD collection (Ps Vita), Jak and daxter Collection HD (ps3 and vita !!!!), Reckoning, Shadow of the Colossus HD, Catherine, Okami HD, Mass Effect 3, Dead or Alive 5, God of War HD, F1 Race Stars and more !!!! that is just the games i want.
i forget for the persons who say take a european account, ok because you can have 2 account with the ps3, but for the vita ??? i am a trophy hunter and the games in europe have better trophy and platinium, if i can make 2 account in my vita ok no probleme but if you take a second account all of the vita game are lost. Something are wrong in your politic sony, the same probleme again and again = ZONE.
Mass Effect Trilogy must be the next IGC, or have a gooooood deal…….
Lets all just cry,when PS plus hit most of the games that came out on IGC i already owned.It never bothered me the slightest.I think everyone is blowing this out of proportion.
