Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? It doesn't feel like that long since we all bemoaned November's big PlayStation Plus update, but we're expecting Sony to announce December's offering next week, with a release likely to follow on 1st December. The question is: what kind of content do you want?
It's definitely been a lacklustre couple of months for the Japanese giant's paid subscription service, with highlights being few and far between. In particular, the PlayStation 3 and Vita are starting to show their age, and that's bringing down the quality of the service across the board. We'd like to see the platform holder start to focus solely on the PS4 pretty soon.
There aren't a huge number of confirmed December releases that fit the Instant Game Collection bill, so it's likely that next month's lineup will rely on catalogue titles yet again. Being the last update before Christmas, we reckon that something like Killzone: Shadow Fall would go down very well β but it all depends on whether the organisation wants to make a splash.
But while we wait, we figured that it may be fun for you to share your dream picks. What would really get you pumped if it was given away as part of December's update? Try to be reasonable β you're not going to get Star Wars Battlefront or Just Cause 3 β and give us your thoughts in the comments section below.

Yeah, KZ or a similar AAA launch title would be realistic. $50 for Plus is way more than say BF4 costs now ($30 on Amazon), so they'd not be losing money. I'd also vote for TR if they hadn't already given us the PS3 version. Maybe Watch_Dogs?
what games would i like on PS+ in December???
actually Killzone Shadow Fall sounds pretty good
also would love Dead or Alive 5, INfamous Second Son, The Order 1886, Strider, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (Square should do this to make up for how they treated us over Rise of the Tomb Raider).
now i know we wont get any of these but a man can dream right?
@charlesnarles Tomb Raider would be a great pick, but I don't think they'd do it purely because of the sequel's situation. Maybe next year, though?
Fallout 4 & Battlefront, please! Anything else and I'll throw all the toys.
@FullbringIchigo The Order 1886 and Tomb Raider will surely not available. They are not-so-old AAA games, so they couldn't be on PS Plus anytime soon.
I've been quite pleased with a couple of the games in the last months (SMB and walking dead), but I'd quite like a shooter. Wolfenstein: the old blood, or Battlefield 4 would do me.
Indie wise I'd say Galak-Z would be a good shout, even though I've got it.
I've got exceptionally low hopes though, every time we've expected something big (E3, the 20th anniversary etc), we've ended up with some really bad selections.
@FullbringIchigo strider was already a plus game but the rest would be dope.
KNACK LOLOLOLOL
I've personally been hoping to see Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag come to Plus seeing as it's constantly on sale. Would love something like Infamous or even Killzone, a nice exclusive to celebrate Playstation Experience. Order would be great but I'd imagine it's way too soon for that to get put up. Wolfenstien the old blood would be great as well as mentioned above
You can pick up KZ SF for next to nothing now, seen it for a fiver new, let alone second hand so personally I'd rather see something else. Not to mention the fact that being a launch title, a great deal of early adopters would have already played it.
I'm still hoping Nuclear Throne finally gets a release and is on plus, but I'm pretty sure I read Vlambeer saying it won't be plus or discounted for a while.
That aside, something like Lego Batman maybe? That's been heavily discounted at retail in the past. I just hope its something decent that I haven't already played.
@skaarj217 tombraider was on the list a few months back - so to comment on your remark, yes they would give it away.
The more I hope the more disappointed I will be, It wouldn't bother me if they dropped the ps3 support. I'm sure for others that would suck though, but I'd be annoyed if they stopped supporting the vita, I've got a 64gb memory card to fill.
@daddyvato was it???
must have missed that one! T_T
Killzone would be nice. Or the Resident Evil remake, been seeing it on sale a couple of times. But I'm not getting my hopes up.
Ps4
Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
Bastion
Axiom Verge
The Order 1886
Any of those
If there's one thing I've learned it's not to try and guess what the IGC will consist of.
The other thing I'm working on is not to get carried away in the inevitable online arguments after they get announced.
Although, having just replaced my Vita (my first one got nicked a few months back) and with a 64gb memory card no less, it would be nice to get a retail release on that. Something like Freedom Wars would be good.
Vita is showing its age? It came out in 2012 for goodness sake.
I might be alone in this view but I really dislike it when the PS+ game offering is a sequel. At this stage I'm not going to buy Walking Dead 1, just so I can enjoy the ps+ offering without feeling like I missed something.
I understand it from a business perspective, but I can't say I like it as a gamer. Don't punish me for not trying your earlier games... Give me a reason to buy your latest games.
@Snorky I kinda like it that TWD2 is on this months. Played number 1 and it was medicore IMO but I've kind of been interested in number 2 so as a freebie I'll save it for a rainy day.
I could see driveclub full edition, minus the bikes update, knack, killzone, ac black flag, something like that. While I own 95% of these digital, i still would love to see knack get listed, just because of how much I do support that game. I've yet to talk to anyone who owns it that didn't enjoy playing it. Sure after 6 playthroughs I couldn't tell you anything about the story, but gameplay wise every time I play it I just have fun. It reminds me a lot of growing up playing donkey kong or spyro or crash and just having fun.
give us axion verge aready, im DYING to play it but just know it will come with ps+ some time. so hurry up sony
other than that how aboouuuutt GTA ps4, TLOU ps4, TR ps4, you know.....the remakes. because reeeeally they are ps3 games so imo its not too early to get them. i dont know, im usually mostly happy with what we get.
I would love to see Sly Cooper on the Vita - another game I always mean to play and forget.
As for the PS4 - Galak Z, Axiom verge or Knack!!!
@iDangerMouse_ yeah sorry man I phrased that sentence wrong. It should have read. I would love to see sly cooper as the free game on vita.
I already have Killzone: Shadow Fall but I think that calibre is long overdue. Its been 2 years+ since the PS4 launched and the PS3 was/is getting AAA calibre games that are 6 months old. I do think that there is sufficient library now to offer maybe 1 AAA quality game a month. Personally I would like The Last of Us - I have it on PS3 and itss certainly been out for quite a while too. What I don't really want is yet more 'indie' games although I do appreciate that others may want some of them and I would expect 1 of the 2 to be 'indie' anyway.
Tearaway and/ or LBP3.
With most core gamers already owning consoles and subscribing to Plus anyway, you need to reel in another audience: the console owning family. What better way to make them buy a PS4 and subscribe to PS+ with 2 games that attracts the kids and will keep the parents hooked and amazed by its capabilities (Tearaway).
These games haven't got the big audience of deserves and where I feel LBP is a serious contender, I hope Tearaway will be free because it's a smaller property which people aren't likely to buy themselves. This game deserves the love that mostly only kids and their parents can give it, or gamers who just want to have some fun, and Christmas would be so much merrier with Tearaway on the big screen.
Here comes the I demand AAA games comments
I wouldn't mind killzone. I played through it at launch and traded it, but it is one if the best looking ps4 games to this day in my opinion and I wouldnt mind revisiting it.
Considering I have star wars battlefront, tales of zestiria, fallout 4 and Sao lost song to get on with I wouldn't mind a decent ps vita game to play something like tearaway or a good Jrpg
Call of duty black ops 2, Battlefield Hardline, Knack not kz shadow fall cause I have it already, heres a old school Battlefield bad company 2 or COD WAW
I'd honestly like knack, just because it's a game I would never buy but I'd still like to check it out.
@TripleGK the ps plus version was available to subscribers a couple of months ago.
I wouldn't like them to focus only on PS4!
If we get 6 games for all systems and they are all mediocre, at least we have 6 games to play!! If they focus on PS4 they will keep getting us indies and we'll have only 2 games to play...NO PLEASE!
I guess Sony will show up with 2 indies we didn't know about yet. I don't expect some toptitles. Why not Knack?
Far Cry 4?
I only really started digging into PS Plus games a few months ago. Has Shovel Knight appeared before? If so, then that would be my wish! (although it's doubtful as Yacht Club probably want to make money off the physical edition!)
@charlesnarles You are forgetting that the need the 50 euro for PSN and a lot of games not 1.
@BigDaddyT0101 Maybe i need to try it then a lot of people bash a game into oblivion just for small problems.
@jik You know its coming retail with RE0 in combopack next year.
Killzone,Infamous or Alien isolation
How about Lords of the Fallen and Diablo 3?
Selfish of me as I have neither but they would be good Christmas presents from Sony.
I could see a cheap remaster or dual system early game like Watchdogs. Possibly Killzone. Hopefully an old AAA title since we havent had one in while
OR PS2 emulated games
Did Knack ever show up on the PS+ service? I liked that game, I'd play it again.
GOW remaster is a good candidate, in that even the remaster's major selling cycle is done. An older lego game perhaps, though I don't care much for those.
@FullbringIchigo strider has already been on plus
@skaarj217 TR came out in 2013 it's just a bit prettier on ps4 but it's the same game and it's been on PS3's plus line up so I don't think it's too new
With Xbox getting a lot of praise putting backwards compatibility on to XB1 Sony should be taking the PS3 games off plus and doing 2 30 day PSnow rentals instead
@themcnoisy it was on there a while ago mate.
Black Sails would be lovely. Would like to play it but have been putting off buying it because I keep expecting it to be in the IGC each month!
Er, Black Flag*
@Johnnycide Which game? Sly Cooper? Damn must of slept that month. You upto much these days pal?
@TripleGK you have missed infamous first light, rouge legacy, guacamelee, super time force and the best of all resogun!!! But hopefully we get some great games this month!!
Tomb Raider will be a very good choice
@themcnoisy yeah Sly Cooper was on plus for vita a while back.
I'm good thanks bud! Hope you're well.
Have Demon's Souls or the Dark Souls games ever been on PS+ before? I'm planning to pick them up during Best Buy's B2G1 on used games for Black Friday, so it would be nice to get one of them for free instead.
Little big planet 3 would be good for me or even batman. Long shots i know, but it is christmas!
I expect something bigger than The Walking Dead Season 2 (which is a great game to play) since Sony needs to display a reason for why the PS4 is the system to have this holiday season. Perhaps they should have Knack, Shadow Fall, or another PS4 exclusive to give. I do not expect us to get anything that has been released within the last 6 - 10 months.
I feel Sony need to pull out a few good games next month as recently the selection has been not so good.
2 years into PS4, I think it's time we started seeing some retail games as the service could be called Indie+ right now...
In addition to one of PS4's older AAA titles, I'd also like to see a really high quality indie in December's IGC. Perhaps something along the lines of...
Killzone: Shadow Fall or, seeing as it has now dropped significantly in price, LittleBigPlanet 3. And for the indies, Axiom Verge, N++ or, although I really can't see it, Journey.
Even if Sony delivered just one of my five suggestions, I would definitely be more than happy :0)
@themcnoisy They gave the sly Cooper trilogy for free on the vita already π
@Dief88 demons souls has been on but DS 1 and 2 haven't. I could see that happening as it was on games with gold a while back, and building hype for Bloodborne's expansion would be wise.
To be honest, I have way, way too many games to play right now that any freebies would be played months out if ever. (I haven't even started Fallout 4, or Dragon Quest Heroes yet).
On that note I would not mind Jack Party Pack 2, but anything else thats good would just fall into the bin of the backlog, never to be seen again.
I would like to see LittleBigPlanet 3, Hand of Fate or Armello for a December PSN+ free title on PlayStation 4.
@themcnoisy The PS+ version is a bit pants and incredibly limited in terms of content. Been looking into the upgrade so I'd welcome it as a freebie. Unlikely though I think.
I really don't care. I'm not picky, and I always find something to enjoy each month. All that matters now is that I finally gave my PS4 the 2TB harddrive treatment. I finally have room for these damn games!
As both AC: Black Flag and Tomb Raider have both been offered on XB1 GWG, I can see these coming to PS4 at some point. Decembers offerings have been announced for XB Gold owners with Thief and The Incredible adventures of Van Helsing for XB1 owner as well as the 3 XB360 games vi Backwards Compatibility (Castlestorm, Sacred 3 and Operation Flashpoint)
Personally I would like to see something similar for PS4 although not so bothered by PS3 games anymore. Over the last few months in particular, I have personally preferred the GWG offerings to IGC.
I must admit though I didn't buy either for the free games and see each as a bonus although it doesn't stop me feeling a little disappointed if these 'bonuses' don't appeal.
