The Drop

The United States has fallen, now occupied by a savage and superior military force. Lead a desperate resistance against this threat in Homefront: The Revolution, which launches this week on PS4.

In Homefront: The Revolution, players explore a living open world as they attempt to take back the United States from its oppressors. Employ the brutal art of guerilla warfare and wield ambushes against the opposing forces to inspire a revolution within the hearts of the people. Build up the resistance, establish bases of operation, and use a patchwork arsenal to fight for freedom.

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

Wild Arms 3 is a nice surprise. I never actually played the game, only a demo on a PlayStation underground disk, looking forward to playing it now. I liked how you actually had to watch the ammo you had.
Gonna sit on Homefront and see if it’s for me.

    oh man, I played that same demo on that same disk! been a long time!

    You mean the demo that only features Virginia’s and Gallow’s prologues along with the following boss fight? If so….I swear, I played that demo over and over and OVER again.

    Because I never got the full game until well after I finished 4 and 5.

    PlayStation Underground…I’ve had my PSN handle since the beginning…I think it became my handle once Sony went online with the PS2 and my account was “upgraded” into an online account.

I didn’t realize there was a Wild Arms 3, the first two were pretty awesome though back in the day.


     

    + MakaiOokami on May 15th, 2016 at 10:37 am said:

    There are 5 Wild Arms numbered releases, as well as XF which is a PSP Tactical RPG.


     

    + VinsanityV21 on May 15th, 2016 at 10:50 am said:

    In addition to the 5 Wild Arms numbered releases and Crossfire for the PSP MakaiOokami mentioned, they also remade the first game for PS2 (in between WA4 and 5).

    It’s a long running series, and it’s most likely going to make a comeback this gen (google “Confirmed New Wild Arms” and you’ll see plenty of stories about Media Vision wanting to do something for the anniversary, and beginning pre-production work on a PS4 entry). It’s kind of crazy that you missed MOST of it during the PS2 era :P

Shadwen? Shadow of the Beast? Wild Arms 3? Damn, Playstation – Doom and Uncharted just came out. I already have a massive backlog (heck, I own Valkyria on PS3 AND Steam and have never finished it, this reminds me). Weeks like this are brutal! Such good games, but no time and no money to play them :'(

Lot of interesting niche titles….a shame they aren’t on the Vita. Some of these platformers and puzzle games would be ideal on the Vita. Such a shame…such a shame.

I disagree with the fact need a ps3 to transfer the game Valkyria chronicles 2 to the PS Vita . Why you do not remove the lock so that it can be downloaded directly? Besides this we have spent years hoping that allow us to play the entire catalog of PSP and PSOne .
What is the sense of close access to the store from psp, have them available but need a ps3 to play them in PS Vita ?


     

    + Dragonslayer_023 on May 15th, 2016 at 11:33 am said:

    VC2 is now available on the Vita store in NA.


     

    + vctrgzlz on May 15th, 2016 at 12:24 pm said:

    It’s been in the store for a while but still requires transfer as far as I know. I wont like to spend 10 bucks for a message from the download list that says its not compatible. I read from gamefaqs that you still need the ps3. Maybe is a rumor but I want to wait until someone confirm that you can downloaded and play it directly. Also thanks for you answer.


     

    + Elk_mistral on May 15th, 2016 at 4:30 pm said:

    You can download from the Ps Vita. The acces as been remove for the psp.so if you want to play on the psp you need a Ps3 or a Pc and transfert with USB cable. You can download Psp title on vita directly and play


     

    + ShadowDelta1138 on May 17th, 2016 at 10:22 am said:

    Nope Wrong! I purchased game that is on sale right now for $4.99 and when i went to download lists it says cannot download using this system so no it’s not fully downloadable to the vita which angers me so much but thankfully i have a friend who has a PS3 i can use temporarily to transfer the game to the Vita so fair warning people if you see game on the Vita’s PSN store and thinking of buying it because it’s downloadable DON’T, don’t buy the game it’s not downloadable to your system, wait for any announcement from SEGA about being downloadable to the vita or get a PS3 to transfer your game to your vita( if you already own a PS3 then you’re ok) again do not buy it its not downloadable to the PS vita.

OMG!!! Thank you for finally putting the PS One classic, G-Police, on the Playstation Store! After all, it’s only been on the European store for nearly a decade!!! The game has long been one of my favorites and it looks and plays great on my PS Vita. Oh, wait a minute…. I’m actually playing G-Police on my hacked PSP. Sorry, my mistake!

I hate to be that guy, and I own both systems, but honestly when is the last time xbone actually had such a blow out week full of great games, have they honestly ever had a better week in games vs ps4? I really try to look at both sides but it’s pretty clear ps4 is clearly the better system, I’m sorry it just so plain as day is.

+ ElektroDragon on May 15th, 2016 at 2:27 pm said:

BEAST!! Everyone must buy Beast!!! Original Amiga version included, you will drop your jaw when you see and play that game and remember it came out in 1989! No pixelated 8-bit FM synthesis bullcrap there.

Wild ARMs 3 and its Platinum.

…’Nuff said.

….Other than that I assume there’ll be a trophy for defeating Ragu O Ragla, since just getting to him (in WA3) is an endeavor in of itself (since you cannot save inside the dungeon he resides in).

How hard can that be?

Hmm lets see…
Since this is the US blog spot, prices should be in USD … nothing too complicated here
Hmmm, copy paste a link to the PSN store… that is time consuming indeed.

And almost forgot, got to add a trailer for the game … another copy paste time consuming issue.
