Perhaps a dumb question, but I've hit the "purchase" button; do I need to download them as well to not miss out, or can I download them later if/when I want to play them?
Sounds interesting! I've been hoping for a port of Civ VI since my computer can't handle it (and I have no other need for a new computer), but this may hold me over for some time.
I don't ser why one should have better rights when buying digital than physical. If I buy a game, break the seal and return to the store two weeks later, I won't get a refund.
When you buy a game, you take a chance. You can minimize that chance by not pre-ordering, reading reviews and watch gameplay footage.
Owning a PS4 Pro, I really hope they start to take it more seriously.
I think this article hits right on the money. Microsoft have nothing to lose: compared to the PS4, they haven't sold that many units, and instead of irating the Xbox One owners, they may in fact please them: "Watch us stick it to our competitors!"
But as Microsoft lifts the Scorpio to the frontlines, I'm sure Sony will do the same with the Pro (with a disclaimer in the bottom corner).
While I really hope the Spider-Man game will be great (it has the potential to be par with the Arkham games), I'm more afraid it will be mediocre than looking forward to it...
@get2sammyb Seeing as PSVR are somewhat pricey (compared to, for instance, an Xbox One or a Nintendo Switch), are there any other games that make a purchase worthwile?
Bought it on release day, but haven't touched it yet: waited a long time for the PS4 Pro update, and now waiting to see how the famous chapter 13 update turns out.
Well done Horizon, but looking at the install base, the fact that Horizon launched a couple of days earlier and the fact that this is the UK charts (where Nintendo had always done poorly), It doesn't mean that much.
First and last PS4 game I bought on release day. But glad this patch soon is live, so I can give this game a go. Will probably finish Breath of the Wild first, though.
@Dichotomy And, as I recently learned (but probably should've known), you don't actually get to own them - you just get the right to use them as long as you pay for the service.

Re: Don't Forget to Download April's Free PlayStation Plus Games
Perhaps a dumb question, but I've hit the "purchase" button; do I need to download them as well to not miss out, or can I download them later if/when I want to play them?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 165
Battlefield 4 (multiplayer) and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of May 2017
The new Guilty Gear and RIME may be good, but if not, the first four months of 2017 have already bloated my backlog.
Re: Final Fantasy XV Patch 1.09 Out Now on PS4
What are the graphics options for the PS4 Pro, now?
Re: Review: Puyo Puyo Tetris (PS4)
Great review. Will probably pick it up on Switch.
Re: Live: Watch Call of Duty: WWII Worldwide Reveal Right Here
"Actual in-game footage" = cut scene + cut scene + cut scene. If I wanted to see World War II, I'd rather watch Band of Brothers.
Re: Live: Watch Call of Duty: WWII Worldwide Reveal Right Here
Hopefully we'll get to see some gameplay footage. A three minute montage of cutscenes does nothing for me.
Re: Cities: Skylines Will Build Foundations on PS4 Soon It Seems
Sounds interesting! I've been hoping for a port of Civ VI since my computer can't handle it (and I have no other need for a new computer), but this may hold me over for some time.
Re: Review: Outlast II (PS4)
Too bad, was hoping this would be an improvement over the first.
Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (PS4)
@Useyourname Thanks! (Though I would prefer to use the original NES-controller.)
Re: Final Fantasy XV Is Getting Another Big Update This April
What will the options be once this patch is launched?
Re: Final Fantasy XV Is Getting Another Big Update This April
Haven't started it yet. Waiting for the Beta to be finished...
Re: Round Up: Little Nightmares PS4 Reviews Are a Dream Come True
@stevejcrow I was actually hell-bent on going full-digital on the PS4, but money talks (and my apartment is getting full).
Re: Bandai Namco's Gruelling Action RPG Code Vein Scores Screens
I like the art style on the pictures more than the art style in the teaser trailer. It looks great, in my opinion.
Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (PS4)
Is there a way to hook up NES controllers to the PS4?
Re: Square Enix's Top Brass Becomes Bad Guy in NieR Automata DLC
2B? More like 34DD, amirite?
...
I'll show myself out...
Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Brings Single Player, Space Battles, and More to PS4
Two minutes of cut scenes. Wake me up when we get some gameplay footage.
Re: Poll: Should Sony Be Looking to Add Refunds to PSN?
I don't ser why one should have better rights when buying digital than physical. If I buy a game, break the seal and return to the store two weeks later, I won't get a refund.
When you buy a game, you take a chance. You can minimize that chance by not pre-ordering, reading reviews and watch gameplay footage.
Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Shows Darth Maul Do Battle with Yoda
Looks like a nice movie. Wonder if it will have some gameplay as well.
Kidding aside, I hope this turns out well. I've been very close to buying the first one on many occasions.
Re: Store Update: 11th April 2017 (Europe)
Feel bad for Portugal, missing out on Horse Racing 2016...
Re: Unlike Atlus, Square Enix Sees the Value in Streams
I appreciate what Atlus is trying to do: their intentions are good.
Re: Review: The Sexy Brutale (PS4)
So, Majora's Mask meets Alien: Isolation? Never heard of this before, but it sounds very interesting!
Re: Talking Point: Is It Time for Sony to Take PS4 Pro Seriously?
Owning a PS4 Pro, I really hope they start to take it more seriously.
I think this article hits right on the money. Microsoft have nothing to lose: compared to the PS4, they haven't sold that many units, and instead of irating the Xbox One owners, they may in fact please them: "Watch us stick it to our competitors!"

Re: Hands On: The Occupation Offers an Intriguing Political Playground
This sounds interesting! Hope it turns out well.
Re: Hands On: Wandering Through the Chilling Halls of The Town of Light
@EnragedGibbon Ok, thanks for the explanation.
Re: Hands On: Wandering Through the Chilling Halls of The Town of Light
With the exception of Arkham: are you an "inmate" at an asylum? (English is not my first language, so it's a serious question.)
Re: Hands On: Spending Some Time with RiME on PS4
Sounds promising!
Re: Hundreds of PS4 Games Are Discounted in EU Easter Sale
Think I'll pick up Grim Fandango Remastered and Galak-Z.
Re: Review: Yooka-Laylee (PS4)
Not bad? Too bad. But one less game added to my backlog.
Re: Marvel: Spider-Man's Swinging to PS4 in 2017
While I really hope the Spider-Man game will be great (it has the potential to be par with the Arkham games), I'm more afraid it will be mediocre than looking forward to it...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 162
Going through my backlog: Will finish up the Battlefield 4 campaign (on Hard). Better than expected.
Re: BioWare Will Share Plans For Mass Effect: Andromeda Based on Feedback Next Week
Here's some feedback: Don't release unfinished games.
Re: Review: Persona 5 (PS4)
Great review. Looking forward to it!
Re: Review: Fated: The Silent Oath (PS4)
@get2sammyb Seeing as PSVR are somewhat pricey (compared to, for instance, an Xbox One or a Nintendo Switch), are there any other games that make a purchase worthwile?
Re: PlayStation Japan Still Has Faith in the PS Vita
@Mahe Because there's none to be found. The UK is not a good market for Nintendo anyway, and the next big game isn't released for another month.
Re: Final Fantasy XV March Update Improves Infamous Chapter 13, Adds Other Stuff
@kyleforrester87 More like "enormous backlog" than willpower I'm afraid
Re: Final Fantasy XV March Update Improves Infamous Chapter 13, Adds Other Stuff
@kyleforrester87 It was 25 % off, and I was fairly sure that the PS4 Pro update would come within reasonable time...
Re: Final Fantasy XV March Update Improves Infamous Chapter 13, Adds Other Stuff
Bought it on release day, but haven't touched it yet: waited a long time for the PS4 Pro update, and now waiting to see how the famous chapter 13 update turns out.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Horizon: Zero Dawn Beats Zelda to Summit
Well done Horizon, but looking at the install base, the fact that Horizon launched a couple of days earlier and the fact that this is the UK charts (where Nintendo had always done poorly), It doesn't mean that much.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Horizon: Zero Dawn?
Zelda + backlog means I'll pick this one up when the price drops.
Re: 70% of Final Fantasy XV's Team Is Still Focused on the Game
While this is good news, for me this only shows how unfinished the game was upon release.
Re: Final Fantasy XV's 60fps PS4 Pro Patch Arrives Later This Month
First and last PS4 game I bought on release day. But glad this patch soon is live, so I can give this game a go. Will probably finish Breath of the Wild first, though.
Re: Square Enix Has Thought About a Final Fantasy VI Remake
Don't need a remake. Just give us a SNES Mini Classic.
Re: Video: Sony Needs to Solve PS4 Pro, PlayStation VR Stock Shortages
So, what you're saying: if Nintendo does it, it's a strategy, when major electronics company Sony does it, there's reasons. "Ok."
Re: Final Fantasy XV's Moogle Chocobo Carnival Is Just the Dumbest Thing
@wiiware It's strange there's no news about this.
Re: Talking Point: What Free PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want in February 2017?
@Dichotomy And, as I recently learned (but probably should've known), you don't actually get to own them - you just get the right to use them as long as you pay for the service.
Re: Talking Point: What Free PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want in February 2017?
Free...?
