I haven't played it yet, but you have and you know your beans.

I upgraded on day one so I'm happy it's an evolving platform. But then I am terribly wealthy *adjusts monocle.

@get2sammyb There it is! It must have been hiding... like a decrepit schoolgirl gallivanting her way to her first tax return.

Happy with LBP3. Always tempted to buy this in a sale but glad I held out. Not sure about the rest.

BTW the most fun you'll have with Ninja Senki DX will be reading the mad-as-a-badger review that was posted on this very site, then seeing the chaos that unfolded in the comments board thereafter.

Edit: Oh man! Just checked and it's been removed. That's a shame.

I played Day of the Tentacle in 1993, which makes me feel very, very old. It's a classic. I'm not entirely sure how it holds up but I'm looking forward to a bit of nostalgia.

It's ok. Not going to win any of the detractors over. Some good titles in there though. Looking forward to This War of Mine and The Swindle. Titan Souls is a real Marmite title.

I don't think the line up is anywhere near as bad as August's, personally. At least they didn't try and flog us a game they'd already given away before.

It just reeks of entitlement. If people really want to play Knack they can pay the £5 it goes down to in almost every sale, or in any branch of CEX. I'd rather take Invisible Inc. any day.

There really isn't much point to putting it out now to be honest. Anyone who saw The Girl With All The Gifts this year will know the story has pretty much been told now - and in all probability in a better way than a film directly based on the game would be.

If you haven't seen it, it's well worth checking out. It doesn't outright rip the story off but it is clearly based on it. It's worth viewing as a companion piece, or if you're like me and have a bit of imagination, a prequel.

Hmmmmm... The thing is, I got the Gamer pack on launch day. I'd trade in the PS4 and a controller, (and even KZ:Shadowfall) but I'd want to keep the second controller and the camera. For VR obviously.

I'm going into this cautiously. Early impressions from the demos have seemed a little disappointing. It may well end up living or dying on its story's D the emotional attachment to its main characters. As gameplay wise I don't think this is going to set the world on fire.

Inside looks amazing. Will pick it up once it hits the sales. Got to save those pennies if I want to get a PS4 Pro.

It's a shame, but I'm really not too bothered. Beung fabulously wealthy I have Netflix, Amazon and Sky Q and as a result haven't bought a DVD or Blu Ray in years (barring the odd obscure anime that would never make it to TV in a thousand years). All of these offer a range of content and films in UHD on demand so I wasn't planning on shelling out for any further discs. Now if you'll excuse me I need to light this cigar with a ten pound note.

Woops! I own both the PS4 titles. Can't grouse too much though. It's a good selection.

I see the problem. However I'm having difficulty in thinking of a way the service could be "reinvented" without alienating thousands of fervent subscribers. I'd be genuinely interested to hear if anyone has ideas.

I fail to see how The Last Guardian has flown under the radar. It's been hotly anticipated since being announced a million years ago. From the list, Gravity Rush 2 is the one people should be excited about I reckon. I STILL can't figure out what Dreams is...

They should do a poker game with a story mode some time. It might make for a nice diversion.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Oof, brave man to revisit Tomb Raider. Partly because it hasn't aged well, but more so because games were just harder back then. Have fun with those limited save points

Told you.

Uh oh. Take cover. Comments Section dwellers are coming.

...And they look disgruntled.

"It's not real" they said, "they wouldn't release a slim console close to Neo" they said, "there'd be no point" they said...

Oh bless. Hope they don't make my head explode as a final revenge.

Oh sweet Jesus no! I'm a five-a-day guy! I wouldn't last thirty seconds without chundering!

It's not just that the error was made, it's that when people complained about it they didn't handle it very well. The silence made people think they were just being ignored in the hope that eventually they'd lose interest and forget about it, and allegedly emails being returned by their customer service essentially said "yes, but some people won't have been members back then and might still enjoy the game" which basically translates into telling the most loyal subscribers "this game isn't for you! Why would we give a damn about you?"

Anyway, I'm glad it's finally been properly addressed. Water under the bridge. Now hopefully the Sony blog staff can use Twitter again without too much hassle.

The game is deeply average, by the way, but it's the thought that counts.

Will the game come with a pointy ears attachment?

It seems like a quite a divisive game. No Man's Marmite, if you will.

I'm glad it exists, but also sadly admit I'll never have the time spare to fully appreciate it.

"You know that PS VR you lot have just bought? This will make it work."

@xMEADx I'm begging you, please learn how to use apostrophes correctly.

My concern for this one is the same I had with Arkham Knight from a narrative perspective - I feel like all Batman's stories have now basically been told. It was like on the Arkham a Knight box when it was all like " Who is the Arkham Knight?" And it turned out to be the first person you'd think of if you knew anything about Batman.

At least the plot twist one quarter of the way through the game was decent, though.

Just glancing at the Facebook comments seems to indicate there are still quite a few subscribers on PS3 and Vita who want the service to continue on the systems. Personally I'd rather they integrated game keys for PS Now into the service to enable a kind of backward compatibility, but then PS Now isn't available to everyone.

I guess things should probably be kept as they are for now. But please, please, no more recycled games that have already been given away on the service! (Sidenote: even more disappointing than Retro/Grade's reinclusion on the service, for me, is Sony totally turning a blind eye to all the posts and complaints that pointed this out and just pretending they don't exist. Making a business decision is one thing but not addressing the complaints of paying subscribers is pretty disgusting.)

@Tasuki The Yakuza 5 reveal is somewhat muted for me as I picked it up when it briefly was mislisted as free in the store a few weeks ago. At the time I saw it as a bonus for last month's Plus freebies, so seeing it again (officially, this time) makes it feel like less of a bonus. But I can see what happened was a mistake and I can forgive that.

But what I, and many others are rightfully pee'd off about is the recycling of a game that was given away four years ago as a new offering. Sure maybe others weren't a member of Plus back then, but the most loyal who were there from the start are a game down this month. I mean does this set a precedent where games previously received from 2012 will be cycled out again as "new" freebies? It's a terrible practice.

In all honesty, out of sheer principle, I don't think I've ever been as disappointed in a Plus refresh as I have been with this month's.

I really hope Sony do the right thing and replace Retro/Grade. I appreciate you're going to get bad months every now and then but recycling old freebies is unacceptable and more likely to make me stop subscribing over anything else.

With the greatest of respect to Sony, this month is really limp. Technically Yakuza 5 was free a few weeks ago in what looked like a store error. Either they pulled the trigger on that too early or they're just mitigating the losses they made in their mistake.

And no one, ever, has been happy to get one of those block building physics puzzle games as a gift. No one wanted that.

@Melucine I knew it! I thought it looked familiar!

You know, for a supposedly "dead" console, the Vita sure has had quite a few games announced for it lately.

@SPGFan34 I don't fully agree with what SPGFan34 said, but they were wise to go with Brock over Reigns or Ambrose. Reigns is too divisive even disregarding his current suspension, and as JBL keeps saying, Ambrose face scares children. Brock on the other hand is a big money fighter - spanning MMA as well as WWE. It coincides with his match at Summerslam and his recent return to UFC. I don't think it matters he isn't a full time fixture in WWE - after all the Undertaker is still one of the most recognisable and biggest names in wrestling and he's wrestled about five matches in as many years.

These simulator games, are they all intentionally bad? I mean Goat Simulator basically owns up to it on the box...

Not that that should have any baring on the end score, of course.

Fair play to be honest. Sony had some great stuff. But Zelda was the revolution fans of the franchise were waiting for (arguably since Majorah's Mask).

But I was happy with just about everything Sony had on display this year. Who needs Neo anyway?

@thedevilsjester yeah no worries - I get your point and it's fair enough. I was just having a bit of a josh. I think, seeing as Western support for both vita and PS3 had all but dried up by this point, they might wind down on those offers and start giving away access to PS Now titles. I mean, does anyone actually use that service as it stands?

@Majic12 that is true. And sports is a difficult genre to please everyone. For example Sky have their own channel for Formula 1 as F1 fans notoriously aren't keen on any other sports. US sports in Europe also gave incredibly niche audiences. And the much of the USA generally hates football/soccer. It's tricky.

Of course, if PlayStation had EA access they could leave the sorts to that and focus on everything else in PS+. Not saying that's what should happen, but some users would have appreciated the option.

@thedevilsjester to each their own. But people without hideous elephant man hulk hands like the vita just fine

@blah01 Knack. Quality?

@thedevilsjester to be honest, if you don't have all three systems I'd say the value of Plus drops sharply to the point where I'd say you wouldn't be getting as much out of it as you should. You're more likely to have something you like each month if you have all three. If you're anything like me you'll have amassed a library of games on each system by now and are pretty much set for life.

Re: the spread, I think it's quite heartening as Sony seem to have listened to critics who were exhausted by the monthly inclusion of indie side-scrollers or metroidvanias.

One thing worth mentioning is that the range of genres this month is superb. There should be something for everyone this month, regardless of what sort of games you're into. Indie games, check, MMO, check, FPS, check, RPG, check, action-adventure... You get the idea.

Looking forward to trying it out. It sounds pretty neat.

@THEundying27 have one. Most probably better paid than yours too. Do you get paid extra for each shelf you stack? Always been curious.

@glassmusic but I have no moneeeeee 😭

I'd prefer if they just allowed us to play the games we own digitally via PS Now. Then I wouldn't need a PS4 version.

@vagineer1 Ha, love it!

Yeah, I'm happy with that. I'd quite happily give most of those a go. PS4 titles are both good choices.

I actually bought Fat Princess on it's day of release. It got about two weeks worth of play from me before I lost interest but others might want to give it a go (although I'm amazed the server isn't dead! Even with the PS Plus user uptick I can image there being a lot of empty waiting rooms and a ton of bots).

I thought Oreshinka was a great premise for a game so I'm glad I get to try it out. I remember Call of Juarez mostly for it being picked out by Graham Linehan as an example of terrible video game writing on Charlie Brooker's Gamewipe, but I'm partial to a bit of cowboy shoot'em up and with a campaign length of 6 hours I might actually manage to fit it in a weekend.

Sadly, the PSP port of Prince of Persia was quite dire on release and I really doubt that's changed. But hey, I have the HD version on PS3 anyway so I'm not missing anything.

As David Bowie once said, "I'm happy. Hope you're happy too. Wuzzawuzz."

Zero Time Dilemma for me! All the Zero Escape games are aces.
