Check out our heavily PS focused video game podcast, GO FOR RAINBOW! Current episode “Corey and the Pleiadian Agenda” is our best one yet, so it’s a great place to start! Be warned, the show veers wildly off-topic.

New episode this Friday where we will be discussing THE LAST OF US! Oh my gosh!

Just curious if there’s any acknowledgement of the framerate issues with Jak and Daxter Collection for Vita and if there’s any plans to release a patch to correct these issues. I grabbed my copy earlier today and it’s pretty rough.

What is the deal with this Matt Hazard? Didn’t this game come out years ago? Is this like the Wolfenstein from a couple weeks ago?

Hm…Sonic collection is missing S3&K, so it’s a no go…store update is several hours late yet again this week…maybe get Jak collection and Storm, otherwise I’m not seeing much this week. Been a disappointing last few weeks, honestly.

There are 2 errors on Jak & Daxter
1)Your description says it has 3D support which is funny because its on Vita (You copied the PS3 description)
2)You should have made the game cross buy!

Does it at least include Cross Save/transferable trophies?
- Kristine Steimer
  June 18, 2013 at 2:36 pm PDT
  
  Thanks for the correction, we’ve fixed the description. As for your question about cross save/trophies, I’m not sure and will need to ask around.

I love PlayStation Plus, but could do without the PSP games. …and I hate how Sony Marketing tries to play them off as Vita games. Comes across as trickery. We all know PSP games are playable on Vita… stop putting the Vita logo on PSP games. If it isn’t designed for the Vita and include trophies, it shouldn’t get the Vita logo.

Love the PS+ content this week! ^_^

I have a slightly unrelated question though:

You know how we’re allowed to have our account on 2 consoles (2 PS3s) and 2 handhelds (2 PSPs, 2 PS Vitas or 1 PSP and 1 PS Vita)?

Well I was wondering when the PS4 comes out, will the PS3 and PS4 have to share the 2 console slots or will we be able to have our account on 2 PS3s and 2 PS4s?

I have 2 PS3s right now and would rather not have to get rid of one, so any information would be greatly appreciated. :)

I want to get the Jak & Daxter Collection. I LOVE those games, but Sony made an embarrassing port that they should be ashamed of. If I just KNEW that they would patch it, AT LEAST to get the framerate issues fixed, I would pick it up.

This is the second time we’ve been burned by Sony, with the unplayable R&C FFA before this. Sony hasn’t said a WORD about that and would like to pretend it doesn’t exist. I’m embarrassed to be a Sony fan.

Speaking of PS2 Classics, would love to see FFXII…

Anywho, glad to see SR3 up on PS+. Already own this awesome game, but I have plenty of friends with Plus who don’t… so it’ll be fun to co-op, again.

June 18, 2013 at 1:32 pm PDT

I wish the Jak Trilogy had more care when it came to frame rate and tight controls.. It’s a bit disappointing. It’s really tough to get to tricky spaces where platforming skills are put to test.. only to fail due to the X button not being read correctly.

Please patch the game and have Mass Media really check themselves when it comes to handling Naughty Dog’s legendary series.

@15 just because YOU don’t want PSP games doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t.

Don’t be selfish, PS+ isn’t here to appeal to your specific wishes, it’s here to please the majority.

Saints Row 3 is an awesome addition to the IGC!

Could you add Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops to the Vita store? It’s available in all regions except North America, and it’s also the only MGS game I haven’t played!
TAMMILICIOUS
June 18, 2013 at 1:36 pm PDT

First, Thanks for having Gods Eater Burst and Deus Ex for PS Plus. I also like that you have the add-ons on sale for some of the instant collection games the week after you give them to plus members.

Second, I have two questions: 1. Will we be getting HBO Go? 2. Do you think its possible to have a PSP sale soon? I have the Vita but I never bought the PSP. There are ALOT of PSP games I want to buy but there are still kinda pricey even though they came out a long time ago, like the first Corpse Party.

Anyway, thank for a nice update! Last week was really great too.

@6 This isn’t late. It’s a heck of a lot earlier than some weeks in the past, and the last few it’s been right around this time. I know b/c I’m on the east coast of the US and I have been buying my games from work on the webstore.

@5 The PS2 version had such HORRIBLE loading times. I wonder if a PS2 classic can fix those. Or.. if that isn’t touched as a straight port. I remember liking it, but it’s not developed by Naughty Dog if I recall correctly. Play Warped again getting 100% if you need a Crash fix. That game is so much fun even today. It holds up soooo well. I wish the first two held up as well. Crash 1 is far too unforgiving in 2013 unfortunately.

This update seems great, some stuff I wasn’t expecting, and new plus games already, you guys are definitely putting the work in to bring these great games to us.

@26 So,PSP games are what the majority wants?
I know the PS+ team are working hard, but pleasing everyone is an impossible task.
If you like ALL kind of games, you’re the perfect PS+ member.
We should say what we feel about PS+ personally, not claiming as majority or minority.

Hm, no avatars? Avatars are always the top of my seeking in an update, and sadly there ain’t any. I’d buy the Sonic Bundle, but I already have all 10 games on their. Except Sonic The Hedgehog 1 and 2, I have those on Ultimate Genesis Collection, which I platinumed. Overall, a fantastic update with lots of variety, keep it up!

Seriously…. you can’t buy the Jak games separately? That is so lame… You can buy every other collection separately, so why not this one? All I want is the first game & I refuse to spend $30 for a (supposedly) poor port of two games that I care very little about.
