The Drop: New PlayStation Games for 10/7/2014
Update: We know many of you were looking forward to playing the promised PS Plus Edition and we are truly sorry for the delay. Our first priority is to provide you with the best possible experience while playing DRIVECLUB. With the high volume of new players and additional server load the PS Plus Edition is anticipated to bring, we are currently not confident that we can guarantee the best online experience. Until we can ensure that everyone can enjoy the full social connected online experience, we will be postponing the release of the PS Plus Edition until further notice.
The Drop

Three extraordinarily different games headline this week’s new releases, filled to the brim with socially connected racing, survival horror, and world-class basketball (Can you guess which one’s which?) It’s a tremendous week of gaming at PlayStation, and it caters to all sorts of gamers.

First up: DRIVECLUB. Built by the racing aficionados at Evolution Studios, DRIVECLUB hits PS4 exclusively with jaw-dropping visuals and a near-insane attention to detail. Race on tracks around the world with a bevy of meticulously modeled cars, and join up with friends in clubs to race for fame.

Clamoring for something more? Survive the universe’s deadliest killer in Alien: Isolation, a survival horror that pays homage to the iconic low-fi, sci-fi series. Or hit the court in one of gaming’s most realistic basketball simulations with NBA 2K15.

For a full list of new games coming to PlayStation this week, read on. And enjoy the Drop!

  • DRIVEDROP.

  • Second Comment xD… No Minecraft PsVita TT.TT

  • Yesss! been waiting for that driveclub….going to be racing for hours on end.

  • Drop em till we die!

  • #Suikoden2onPSStore

    +

    Strider 2 comes with the first part, just like on PS1, right?

  • Any chance for Minecraft PS Vita?

  • Any chance they’ll ever be a Rogue Galaxy & Dark Cloud HD remakes?

  • Is Costume Quest 2 not coming out this week?

  • GTA V pre-order please? :)

  • Isn’t Costume Quest 2 coming this week as well? Oh, and also Beyond!

  • i am excited to play NBA 2k15 and Alien Isolation tomorrow night.

  • Does our pre-order for Driveclub count towards the spend $100 get $15 promo for those who pre-ordered it in September?

  • Hey! Put some prices on here! Thanks!

    Also, im glad the drop has finally acknowledged what we’ve known for about a year: plus edition of driveclub is a DEMO.

  • Nothing interesting for the Vita. As usual, what else to expect from this company?
    It’s okay, I’m recommending everyone to stay away from PSTV and next year we can expect Steamboy to kick sony’s ass away from the mobile gaming market for good. :-)

  • Divekick! Happy about that. Will they be separate trophies for that game?

  • Still no Minecraft for PS Vita, it’s been 11 days since it was in Sony’s hands. I’m still hoping it comes out this Tuesday though. Also hoping to see games like Suikoden 2 and Dark Cloud on PSN soon…

  • I knew Strider 2 was coming but still it’s good to see, this game was amazing and comes with the original arcade version also. Also I cannot recomend Dust: An Elysian Tale enough. I bought it when it was Xbox exclusive and again on Steam. It’s one of the best games of the last generation. It’s Metroidvania at its finest, it’s long and deep and a load of fun. If you like Symphony of the Night, Super Metroid, Shadow Complex etc you simply cannot miss Dust it’s that good. And unlike those other games it has some genuine challenge near the end.

  • Of course i preordered NBA 2k15 like I’ve preordered most other 2k NBA games over the years, however, I’ll be very disappointed if I have the same feelings I had playing 2k14. Watered down Association with “buy more VC” feel in MyCAREER. Disappointing to say the least.

  • Man, what a week!

  • Unfortunately I already killed my wallet this week…..several times. Between P4GU, Shadow of Mordor, The Evil Within, and Smash Bros. for my 3DS I think I’m good on games for a while.

  • *P4AU*

    Sorry for the typo. (You guys really need an edit feature)

  • I hope driveclub is still fun for the plus version. And I hope it doesn’t take more than 7GB on the HDD but I’m sure it will be a much larger file size than that.

  • Really excited for Driveclub and Dust: An Elysian Tail this week. Also can’t wait to play some more Spelunky on my PS4 too. I was surprised to see Styx: Master of Shadows releasing so soon after I first saw it. Might decide to pick that up as well upon good reviews. And Ryan.. BEYOND!

  • First 2-button fighting game? Howzabout Mike Tuson’s Punch-Out!!

  • Speaking about Minecraft, the retail disc is coming out this week. Wonder why that’s not listed. Too bad the PS Vita version may not release at the same time as that.

  • Finally some honesty by calling DriveClub PS+ Edition a demo. Just waiting for the fanboys to come on and say “….but it has trophies” like that doesn’t mean it’s still not a demo

    In the future, don’t try to BS us. We’re not stupid. Be upfront the next time you want to release a demo. You won’t catch nearly as much flak as you have with this train wreck of a game

  • Tyson’s~

    @saab01, the full game is 15.7GB, so if it’s a standalone demo, my guess is that it will be under 7GB. But of course you may just be downloading the full game and having most of the content locked.

    I was hoping Costume Quest 2 would be releasing on PS4 this week since Steam is getting it, but no biggie. I’ma play DriveClub ’til I dieeeee anyway!

  • Can’t wait for NEXT WEEK!
    -Evil WIthin
    -Sleeping Dogs (first time playing it)
    I pre-ordered both off of PSN.

  • Lookng forward to nba 2k15 divekick and gonna try spelunky

  • @Sonicfan11589 – Sleeping Dogs was in my top 3 last gen. A near masterpiece. It’s gonna blow your mind!

  • nothing for me this week.
    sony loves indies but i don’t.

  • Can’t wait for Driveclub, I am sure that I am going to spend countless cars playing it.
    Cockpit view, here I come :-)

  • Oh No Minecraft ps Vita? I Hope it will be Release on this Wensday in Europe :/

  • I thought they might make South Park: The Stick of Truth as one of there line ups for this month. Given Season 18 just started I was kind of hoping it was going to be one that or Assassins Creed given Assassins Creed: Rouge will be coming out within the next few months. Maybe there waiting for closer date or something.

  • Missing the following game’s that where announced for October 7th 2014.

    • Costume Quest 2 – PS4
    • Minecraft – PS4 (Retail Edition)

  • ‘m Really waiting for the new Batman so none of these interest me

  • Not critical to these games just waiting I mention

  • @33

    Going to be waiting a loooooooong time, Arkham Knight isn’t out until June.

  • Driveclub (Plus Edition), Dust: An Elysian Tail, Pix The Cat, and Spelunky (PS4) for me this week.

    Also very interested in Styx, but my backlog is getting a bit on the ridiculous side again so I think I’m going to have to hold off on that for a little while.

  • LUCAS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I knew it, Driveclub for PS+ is a DEMO, sweet DEMO.

  • Lot great games this week.

  • WHAT ABOUT MINEEEEECRAFFFFTTTTT?!?!?

  • Will Driveclub PS+ Edition be able to be downloaded at midnight?

  • can someone explain the difference between free drive club PS+ and and the 49.99 dollar upgrade you can get

  • @42

    The PS+ edition of DriveClub is a feature complete scaled down version of the full game. All modes are present, and you can earn all of the trophies in it, including the Platinum. All it lacks is a bunch of the cars and tracks featured in the full game.

    The upgrade version for $49.99 puts those missing cars and tracks back into the game, making it identical to the full price retail version. You get this at a discount of $10 off MSRP, just for being a PS+ member.

    So you get a feature complete version of the game, but missing cars and tracks, for nothing. And if you decide you want the full game you get it for $10 cheaper than buying the disc or full digital download.

    I’m pretty confused as to why people think this is a bad thing, especially considering it’s not taking the place of one of the standard two Plus games this month, it’s a bonus.

  • @42 the ps+ demo version just has 10 cars and 11 tracks from india region, so expect to get bored of it after a day or two, then they make you spend 50$ just not to be locked out of content anymore. same exact model as free to play games that people spend way more than 60$ and some 30$ season pass.
    it’s named free demo but you are going to feel left out if you didn’t buy it you your buddys have access to so much more content than you.

  • Hope some better sales this week.
    Might have to pick up Silent Hill, but going to pass on Little King’s Story.

    Whats this…….. Strider 2 as PSone classic, have to check that one out.

  • How much content is missing or excluded from the PS+ Edition of Driveclub?

  • Would I be better off buying the full retail version?
