The Drop: New PlayStation Games for 5/12/2015
The Drop

A bittersweet story of lost friendship, a world embroiled in strife, and… an interstellar soup empire! These are just a few of the experiences coming to PlayStation this week, starting with a standalone version of The Last of Us: Left Behind.

For those that have yet to experience the touching prequel to The Last of Us, look no further than the standalone version of Left Behind. This powerful chapter follows Ellie largely before the events of the main game, and explores her close friendship with Riley before the two girls part ways. The award-winning team at Naughty Dog once again blends tense, survival-action gameplay with reflective story sequences to craft a brilliant complement to The Last of Us.

Also on the way is Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, which brings the well-loved JRPGs to PS4. Return to Spira and embark on an exhilarating quest to free the world from a terrible threat — and play some Blitzball along the way!

Lastly, Nom Nom Galaxy hits PS4. The next entry in the PixelJunk series blends different game genres together and tasks you (and your friends) with managing an intergalactic soup empire. Yum.

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

    Thanks.

  • Hi Ryan!

    How have you been?

    Personally I’m excited for Project Cars. I had my fill of DriveClub and I need a new racing fix. It’s gonna support Morpheous once it launches, correct?

    Keep being awesome…

  • I think these “Arcade Archives” titles have been overpriced, but darn if I am not tempted to go purchase an arcade-perfect port of Double Dragon…

  • Really hope we can download Project Cars at midnight cause I wanna get that and Toren. Also Happy Mother’s Day to the mom’s out there.

  • Can we get some Namco Arcade Archives? Specifically Ms. Pac-Man and Rolling Thunder. Or a full-on Namco Museum would be splendid.

  • Breach and Clear looks interesting. It’ll give me something to do until House of Wolves drops next week.

  • Man people have such long and unreasonable lists of demands…

    Prettymuch the only thing I want is the ability to purchase digital codes for the psn to gift to people or give away on stream…

    But Toren looks really cool, interested in giving that a try. Only thing for the month I’m really excited for atm.

  • Project cars preload? Tower fall dark world?

  • Wish the Arcade Archive games were on Vita too. Looking forward to Double Dragon

  • will project cars get pre order and preload?

  • darkknight198302

    nice!!! Double Dragon. i loved this game as a kid. so cool that its being release no the PS4!! can’t wait for tuesday

  • I LOVE Double Dragon. I do wish we were getting Double Dragon Trilogy though. That, fixes all of the slowdown issues with the first two arcade games and adds in some great arranged music as well.

  • Why can’t we Preorder Project CARS on the PlayStation Store in the US?

    Guess I’ll wait to buy Project CARS when I get Project Morpheus in 2016. By then Project CARS will be cheaper and hopefully I’ll have a wheel bought by then so I can have the ultimate VR experience for racing.

  • Hey Ryan,

    A few questions about TLoU: Left Behind.

    Do you know if there will be a PS+ 10% discount on this for the first week of release?
    Do you know if there is any loyalty content? Like if you own TLoU or Remastered, do you get any cool stuff?
    I’m guessing it’s not cross-buy, but can you confirm this?
    Finally, do you know if saves transfer across, or do you have to play through it again?

    Cheers man, good drop! Excited for Nom Nom Galaxy!

  • Oh my goodness…did ryan answer a question? About price? WITH the price!?!? I wonder what other pruces are known but not shated? All of them? Yes.

  • Haha, my comment looks funny with the typing errors.

  • is is weird how a game like Arcade Archives Double Dragon would be on PS4 but not on Vita. I hope that E3 will have some exciting news for the Vita this year. Last year was rather disappointing; hope this year is better.

  • Sony, when are you going to fix the Vitas that you broke with the 3.5 firmware update?

  • @Gohan16ken

    Please stop posting all that junk all the time.

    https://share.blog.us.playstation.com/

    They made this tool a long time ago. If you want actual change you have to get people excited about it, so they can bump up priority.

    If you’re the only one trying to get something done, they’re going to ignore it. Get half a million people to up vote it, and they might just hire some people specifically to fix some of those things.

  • what ever happen to demo man. barely get to try game out before buying them. Didn’t sony said something about try before buy content.

  • FFX downloading… will keep me occupied until the witcher next week

  • Aeeeeeeee… Finally anything about Project CARS. \o/

  • I’ll definitely be picking up Toren. I saw it featured on Video Games Awesome on YouTube, and it looks pretty awesome.

  • 100% Agree with post #11. While i love to see more Arcade Archives (only bought two so far, Rygar + Matmania) their pricing is a bit steep imho.

    Anyways, Will buy Nom nom Galaxy for sure and the next HELLDIVERS DLC whenever it’s released.

  • @ yowza: Well of course he could answer that one. It was already public knowledge. I’m pretty sure they announced the price on the initial blog post, if not on a follow up.

    I’m looking forward to Toren and Nom Nom Galaxy for this week. Witcher 3 next week is gonna fill my gaming time for a while.

    Also, is anyone else having serious problems with Ether One? I like the game, but it has insane fps problems if you play for more than an hour or so, to the point of it being a slideshow. Also, it glitched on me in the second chapter, and stuck me at the top of an elevator by removing the console from the stupid thing so I couldn’t get back down. They did a really poor job porting it from PC. Or maybe I’m just unlucky.

  • I tried to stay away from that retro stuff but you guys got me with Double Dragon. :)

  • Another slap in the face of vita owners, looking foward for the witcher

  • Double Dragon?

    My first day one purchase in a long time.

  • Meh. Nothing for me this week. I need to dig into my backlog anyway.

  • More ps1 classics please:

    Saga frontier 1 and 2
    Vandal hearts 1 and 2
    megaman legends 1 and 2
    Jade cocoon
    Einhander
    Die hard trilogy
    Diablo

    And for psp:

    Final fantasy crisis core
    Valkyrie profile Lenneth

    And what will it take to make blood omen, msg portable ops, and a bunch of other ps1/psp titles vita compatible? Seems those Star Wars games were all added with the flip of a switch a few weeks back.

  • Did a word search for “free” and “demo”. This is disappointing. What ever happened to the reason people got psn+?

  • If i buy Project Cars digital edition i receive the Limited edition cars pack and modifier Car pack?

  • ThumbsOfSteel74

    I would gladly pay $10 or more for Double Dragon if it was on PS3, though I understand why fewer and fewer games are.

    It’s a great memory for me, and yet it’s not easily found in my area. While Galaga is another of my faves, oddly enough it seems I can hardly walk without tripping over a Galaga cabinet these days. So that’s a factor for me. Well, as I said it would be since I’m without a PS4 for now.

    Meanwhile, the price point is fine for superfans but many waiting for a sale will have forgotten all about it by the time it happens.

    My 2 cents.

  • Toren has really snuck up on us lol. Game has great potential, I love the way it looks!

  • Gonna hold my breath for Arcade Archives Gradius. TT_TT

  • Color guardian look interesting. Hope its priced well.

  • I heard that the standalone DLC of The Last of Us: Left Behind has access to the full game’s multiplayer. If that’s true, I’ll buy it when I get a PS4. I already own the full game on PS3 and don’t want to go through the long story again.

    And if this comment appears, looks like I can comment again. Thank you for your understanding, PS blog team.

    @wdavidson I have no idea what you’re talking about. You must have done some illegal and downloaded custom firmware to get it bricked. That’s entirely your fault and not Sony.

  • @37 We’re not shocked anymore ;(

  • Pre-orderd Witcher 3, can’t wait :) any news on the preload?
    Diablo 3 on sale would be nice :D
