Man I’m still very busy with Brut@l and No Man’s Sky from last week and now Bound is here as well. Looking forward to that and maybe Grow Up as well. Also been playing Inversus for about a week now and I can see that being a very fun local co op game.

Haven’t had much time to game in the past month. October is going to drain my wallet badly though.


     

    + KLEEBANKLIBAN on August 14th, 2016 at 2:48 pm said:

    October will be crazy. Modern Warfare Remastered early campaign access around the 5th, Tomb Raider on the 11th, small chance of PSVR availability after the 13, Skyrim on the 28th.. and if Battlefield 1 breaks past launch issue trends, will consider this soon after the 21st.

    What’s coming in October that your destined to get? Sounds like October gonna be a great month of games. Sorry havnt really been looking into to many releases for this year


     

    + kirby_owns on August 16th, 2016 at 12:18 pm said:

    NO! No more Makai, we have enough doodle games, Dungeon Punks is just an ps4 import, and Adventure Capitalist is just a phone app game. Im not sure if your a suck up to playstation or what but, only giving good feedback will not help anybody. You need to give good and the bad feedback. To actually help playstation give us more diverse games.

Hey Sony,

I did not get an invite to your Sept PlayStation Meeting. Did you forget me?


     

    + gameman15 on August 14th, 2016 at 6:34 pm said:

    Probably because Sony doesn’t really invite people into their meetings unless you’re a member of the video game industry (not “community”) or (if possible) a big name popular YouTube celebrity that dedicates him/herself to video games. Hell, I didn’t get invited either, but I don’t care.

Where in the world is Absolute Drift Zen Addition? It’s supposed to be released! Either there is a mistake or please clarify.

    I thought that it was delayed from last week to this week?

    Looks like its delayed again. From this week to some time this quarter. Update from the ubisoft site.

I have problems with your new drop on my PS4 as the list of games is just one long row going to the right making it very difficult to read anything past the first 5 or 6 games.


     

    + Stranger51095 on August 14th, 2016 at 12:37 pm said:

    Me too.


     

    + rudetoy on August 14th, 2016 at 1:06 pm said:

    Yup, me too. Can’t see the entire games list on my phone. Why didn’t you all just stay with your old format? Seems you change up how you format this blog every other month.


     

    + StuTX on August 14th, 2016 at 5:00 pm said:

    I agree. It doesn’t fully display on phone or tablet…

    What are the prices for these new games because I’m too poor to buy anything


     

    + xxdmcgee2288xx on August 15th, 2016 at 10:47 am said:

    I can’t read anything past the second game for the drop, and I can only read half of the second’s description. I was complaining about this new format last week, and certain people criticized me or praised the blog saying they loved the new format and that it looked great. I’m on a pretty nice PC. Makes no sense why they would try to reinvent the wheel. Makes no sense why they would try to change or fix something that wasn’t at all broken and actually worked quite well for the longest time. It’s very annoying and I can’t stand nor understand why this transition from vertically original to horizontally illegible.

Bound for me. After trying ABZU and i did enjoy it i took a chance and pre-ordered Bound. People really need to give indies a chance instead of crapping on them. Not every game needs to be a highly overrated Triple A shooter or boring open world games. #GiveindiesAChance.


     

    + maltyler84 on August 14th, 2016 at 12:39 pm said:

    Games like Solbrain Knight of Darkness are the reasons why I normally stay away from Indie titles.

    @maltyler84
    I just looked up gameplay for that game and it dont look that bad.

+ Stranger51095 on August 14th, 2016 at 12:36 pm said:

Why has the drop’s games list been messe up over the past 3 weeks on PlayStation 4? They go from left to right now and I can’t see half of the games listed.

+ VitaeEx on August 14th, 2016 at 12:41 pm said:

Please fix the site I enjoy reading the drop
But for the past 3 weeks it has displayed
Wrong specifically at the new releases part on mobile

I usually read the site on my phone and I can’t see all the games or scroll to the right everything displays left to right instead of top to bottom it worked fine before

Please do something about it thanks

I’m really liking how Bound looks so far. Hopefully I’ll have the chance to play it once I have enough money. :D

Isn’t UNO supposed to come out on PS4 this week?

+ Dangisuckatgamin on August 14th, 2016 at 1:49 pm said:

Nothing for me this week.
Have lots of backlog though.
Might get UNO (if it is coming) if it’s an acceptable price. Won’t pay more than $7 for it.
Ubisoft trivia/card game servers suck so bad and this without a doubt will be the same issues so I refuse to give them more than what I mentioned.


     

    + SilentNova on August 15th, 2016 at 7:17 am said:

    Uno will be $9.99. It is still on Xbox One for pre-order at that price.

    An Insider said it was delayed until around the end of the month.

    It was delayed from August 9 to August 16. Says nothing about “until further notice.” The date is even listed in the URL you posted.


     

    + TrueAssassin86x on August 14th, 2016 at 3:24 pm said:

    Read the link. Update UNO for consoles have been moved from August 16th. UNO on PC will be released this quarter.

+ M1NAT3K on August 15th, 2016 at 7:59 am said:

Sony should help the developers by creating links to trailers of the non-featured games. There are 10 games that I feel take a lot more effort to find out about than I’m willing to put in. Yes I can, but it’s 20-30 extra steps for me and it’s not my job ….

+ EnigmaNemesis on August 15th, 2016 at 9:31 am said:

Gotta get my pre-order in for BOUND tonight for the discount and extra 20% for also getting ABZÛ. VR compatibility is also a major selling point for me.

+ Tatanka2007 on August 15th, 2016 at 7:45 pm said:

Not a very exciting week for new releases. Does this mean some decent sales? The so-called sales of late have been stingy and stale.

The Drop isn’t just messed up on mobiles. I’m looking at the Drop via a big screen and it’s messed up.

This is why I jumped ship to Steam. It’s ok to have indie games but when indie games are your flagships every week, it makes you look bad and cheap.

Curiosity got the best of me, and I bought Solbrain. It was the most unfinished, broken and obviously fake-developed game I’ve ever played. After googling it, apparently every part of it is stolen from something – the character from Tera Online, the shield from Skyrim, the music from Ori and the Blind Forest, etc. Sony, how in the world did you allow this through your filters?
