The Drop: New PlayStation Releases for February 4th, 2014
The Drop

Word on the (dark, abandoned) street is that Outlast frightens people. Intensely. PlayStation gamers can experience that for themselves when the hit survival horror game comes to PS4 this week, bringing with it a torrent of nightmares and cold sweats.

Set in the abandoned Mount Massive Asylum, Outlast depicts the chilling and dangerous investigation of freelance journalist Miles Upshur. Miles enters Mount Massive following an anonymous tip, and soon finds himself engulfed in unimaginable horrors. This first-person survival game showcases immense scares and a focus on atmosphere. Night lights may be required.

For those gamers averse to horror games, the fast-paced platformer Dustforce also launches on PS3 and PS Vita this week. Traverse 2D environments and sweep up dust while racing the clock. Perfect every jump, nail every attack, and clear increasingly complex stages — all while freeing adorable animals from the clutches of dirt and grime. Really!

There’s lots more coming to the world of PlayStation, so read on for a complete list of new releases. And enjoy the Drop!

  • I definitely want The Lego Movie Videogame. And Surge is a great game. Surge Deluxe looks good too.

  • @ 49 Well what is the point? To let us know a few of the items being uploaded to the store tuesday? I dont need a postthats only got a portion of the info available.

  • Very happy to see Gex and Trapt added to the classics.

    I really hope that backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 returns on the PS4 as Eurogamer is reporting it will. Everyone at Sony should recognize the importance of supporting those massive back catalogs.

  • *cough* War Thunder *cough*

  • Still no Digimon World 3 :(

  • Yes, but then one could well argue the Sunday sale papers ought to be released Saturday since by then the info is known by the publisher. The Friday TV listings ought to be out on Wednesday, etc. It never ends. The store updates on Tuesday, after which they post to tell us what’s new and the prices for each item. Just the way it’s done is all.

  • Will Gex be available on the PS4?

  • keep the dream alive, bring Suikoden 2 to PSN.

  • You know what I really wanted to see on The Drop? An announcement that Crash and Metal Gear Portable Ops are playable on the Vita, release of the PSP Games Crisis Core: Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Final Fantasy I, II and Megaman Powered Up, release of the PSX classic Einhander and Strider II on the US. That would make my day. And most of these are easy. Crash and Metal Gear are already playable on the EU Vita (almost getting one BTW), Einhander is on the japanese PSN and Strider II will be given away with Strider Remake for PS3 in Japan. Soooo what do we need to do to see these easy games also on the US PSN, when they are available in other regions?

  • What about The Wolf Amoung us? doesn’t than come out Wendseday (2/5) for PS3?

  • I gotta get my washing machine ready for the onslaught it’s going to face in pants after I get Outlast. I’m so pumped.

  • Good drop :o

  • Damn, was hoping there’d be a demo for Surge Deluxe.

    Also, is The LEGO Movie Videogame on Vita a direct port or a lame watered down version like all the other LEGO games?

  • Anyway yes, nice drop. At least some new stuff to look at. Demos for some of it and more classics, too.

    Probably sucks to be a PS4 owner right now (especially if you’re not a horror fan) but the next few months should wash that bad taste away.

  • Gex: Enter the Gecko, YES the Gex trilogy on PSN is finally complete.

    the other question: WHERE ARE THE PS2 GAMES HAUNTING GROUND AND SONIC HEROES ON THE PSN AS PS2 CLASSICS.

  • Fear Effect would be great!!!

  • Gex <3

  • I thought whe a few more weeks of ps1 imports?

  • So, a little off topic and I don’t really post here, but since every PS4 game is supposed to be available to download, will most AAA games have pre orders? Does anyone have any news on Thief since it’s coming out this month..? Digital pre order bonuses? Etc.

  • Really, Adam and Eve(vlyn)…can’t come up with anything ORIGINAL?

  • PS4? not for sale here but still not buying a vita… where’s the games???

  • You want to give us Crash Bandicoot or Spyro on Vita?

  • @ thumbsofsteel All those things DO happen! I can see whats on for the whole week, i get a sale paper on friday for sundays sales, and it all makes sense! Its so frustrating the way the info trickles out from sony.

  • YES YES AFTER ALL THESE YEARS GEX ENTER THE GECKO IS FINALLY RELEASE ON PSN AND ON MY BIRTHDAY WEEK TOOO I LOVE YOU PLAYSTATION!!!!!!!

    now all i need is metal gear acid 2 on the store and my collection is complete

  • I think we’re suppose to get Hyper Crazy Climber as well. Don’t know why it isn’t on this week’s drop.

    @LazyTalandeR Digimon World 3 sucks. Don’t even post that garbage on PSN, Sony.

  • @52 I think odds are good this will happen. I have to believe that Sony must have given publishers assurance that their classic titles will soon be playable on PS4 for them to start investing in releasing classic titles again like Gex 2 and others. I doubt they’d waste their time if not.

    Personally I hope it happens soon as it’s part of what’s keeping me from getting a PS4. It may sound like a minor thing to some, but I own around 60 PSOne classics and about a dozen PS2 Classics, and I plan to buy Trapt, Gex 2 this week, and (based on some claims and the ESRB) Pac Man World and Gradius V when they hit soon, I love the classic format they’ve used, especiallt with PS2 titles as the emulation is perfect or better than perfect in some cases, like Odin Sphere where the emulation actually IMPROBES gameplay performance over the disc based PS2 version (lag is all but gone). Sony have done an excellent job and I’m happy to invest in these games and will continue to do so if I’m assured I’ll be able to paly them on newer systems.

  • Just want to go on record and say that we have lost more than we have gained on PS4. You have taken away so much, I almost regret my purchase.

  • @16: I’m glad your opinion doesn’t matter. All the indies on PS4 are games from Steam and ones that are popular and sold well. Outlast is an amazing game, and one the scariest I ever played. Be glad the PS4 has free games at all at launch, your *****ing is the problem, not their choices in free games.

    Sad Outlast only has 8 trophies, but looking forward to beating it again and grabbing them.

  • Happy to see Trapt in honor of Deception IV next month, way to go a great classic! Happy to see a new PS1 classic too even if its not 1 I liked.

  • What an awesome Drop! Gonna download Outlast, Trapt and the Ace Combat beta!

    Any pricing available for Trapt? Will it be the usual $9.99?

  • @IIL0YDII I love how you still keep saying that like a little brat. Who’s the “us” you’re referring to? If you’re counting me as well, I’m not part of your “Demand Sony for Crash and Spyro” group and never will. Neither should anyone else and stop treating PSN users as your pawns.

  • Nice to see a few PS1 & PS2 games still coming to PSN for the PS3(it’s been painfully slow tho) :-/ but is there anyway SONY could make them work on the PS4 soon to? ? ? Then all old PSN PS1 & 2 games & future PSN PS1 & 2 games can be on the PS4 to, how COOL would that be :P

  • @ Gamerzlimited cool story bro

  • @IIL0YDII Whatever. You may be a brat, but you’re at least not as annoying as a certain Sarrow. I just want to know who’s the “us” in that sentence of yours because it’s definitely not me or the people here. Must be your friends or something.

    Can you just play Crash Tag Team Racing on your Vita and be done with it? I know it’s not the same game, but it’s still Crash after all and is transferable through PS3. Spyro is understandable though because there isn’t one on PSP.

  • Can’t wait to get my hands on Outlast. Drop it like it’s hot!!!

  • I am extremely excited to play Outlast. Haven’t had a good horror experience in quite some time. I’m also looking forward to trying out Dustforce! Thank you, guys!

  • Surge Deluxe for me.

  • when will there be trophys update to older games like PS1 and PS2 :)

  • @Gamerzlimited
    Maybe I am who knows.
    “us” is people that own a Vita and want to play Crash Bandicoot and Spyro titles,believe it or not, there are people here on the blog who want to, if you read Neogaf you’ll see alot of people that would like to play these games, and yes my friends would like to play them too.
    I am not breaking any rules, and not posting just to piss you off.

    By the way Crash Tag Team Racing is not transferable through PS3, but thanks for recommendation.

  • @knightederek. Is Outlast really that scary? So hyped to play it. Can’t effin wait.

  • @IIL0YDII Ok, good enough answer. Now we finally come to the point that we understand each other. Don’t know why I kept thinking you we’re a troll back then. Now I no longer consider you one. If only we spoke in a well mannered conversation like this, I would left you continue posting that and I won’t stop you.

    Really? I think you meant Crash Team Racing. I know that’s one’s not downloadable on Vita or transferable though PS3, but I know you can put the PSP Tag Team Racing on the Vita using the PS3. I bought it solely for that purpose. I wish there was a Spyro for the PSP so it can be a substitute, but there was never one made.

  • Looking forward to Outlast and maybe Adam’s venture chronicles, Trapt. Loved the Tecmo’s Deception series on the PS1. Will buy the upcoming PS3 version too.

    Anyone knows what happened to that Move supported Horror game based on a bunch of teens on a cabin? Sony’s been quiet about. It was announced a good while ago and now it’s not even on the radar.

  • ALRIGHT! TRAPT! Man, what IS it with that franchise? Game Informer did a Super Replay of this game, exposed the series to tons of people, and then a new Deception gets announced and now TRAPT heads to PS2 Classics? This is beyond serendipitous (S.A.T. word!). And Gex 2 is a pleasant surprise this week too. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait for 3D platformers (obscure & well known) to hit the PS2 Classics section though. Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Kya: Dark Lineage, at least one PS2 Crash and one PS2 Spyro are pretty great, I-Ninja, Vexx, Malice, Haven… let’s get some PS2 platformers on the service, guys!

  • @IcedDice: Oh man; I totally forgot about that until you just mentioned it. But Googling up the thing reminds me that it’s called, “Until Dawn”. When a game goes quiet during a console transition like this, usually it means it’s been delayed for the new system, or at least to be made a “cross gen” game. I’d guess it was perhaps re-jiggered to be made playable with standard controls, and then will be released on the PS4 now too, but who knows? That’s a good question. The PS Move doesn’t seem to be a big focus for Sony going forward, and with PS Now coming up, even more reason to avoid gimmicky controllers, since you won’t be able to re-release games that require specialized hardware.

  • @IcedDice: It’s still coming though. It’s still on SuperMassive’s site and the official word is that it’s been delayed to this year, 2014. I’d expect to hear more of it later on at a GDC or E3 or something. Guess you’ll just have to be patient.

  • haha this clown cant stop looking for my attention. wish he was my neighbor so i can beat his ass on his own property. to bad.

  • Would love a Resident Evil Sale :) Think about it Playstation!

  • Will there be any cross-buy for the Lego Movie game? I know the Vita version is usually a very different game but at least there should be PS3 and PS4 cross-buy, or a $10 upgrade.
