PlayStation Plus: Your February content

just been checking out the ps+ usa and being honest i think we’re getting a bum deal as they are recieving far better games/more up to date and also more regularly whatever happened to equality lol

To get Metal Gear Solid HD as March’s freebie would be genius if you can.A few quality games in 1 download and you are not having to us give another fps.
I would love to have an answer on TheMART’s (post #275) and others valid question.
You seem to dodge the awkward ones. As I said before,great job getting the plus nation sleeping dogs. Sweeeeet

i saw you were talking about avatars and a mass avatar drop if possible, any chance on a few RDR avatars? btw any chance of resistance burning skies for the vita? and uncharted 1 and 2 for ps3?
thanks would be much appreciated

What in the world would possess you to add games that were on sale very recently?
Sleeping Dogs was on sale in the 12 days of Christmas sale if I remember and F1 Race Stars in January

Whilst I am way in front by using the PS+ service I am seriously questioning purchasing any games that are a) on sale or b) not AAA titles that I wan ton day 1.
Why not just wait for it on PS+?

Best month on PS Plus as for the first time I haven’t got any of these games but have wanted to play them.

I’m still pretty excited about PS+ Vita content (Wipeout mainly), but I just saw that Americans got Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus… I’m sad now

Are there any plans for Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus coming to EU PS+ in near future? I don’t want to buy it just to find out it’s free 2 weeks later.

I have seen a few of requests for dead island, I hope you don’t listen to them because alot of my friends and I who have playstation plus have played through that game a couple of times already. Regarding the new line up for feb, I am very happy with what I’m getting thanks a lot. Could I request maybe far cry 3 for march? Too soon? ;D

ooh F1 superstars for free woooo

as long as allllll our downloadable stuff will be on ps4 including trophies & we can use our ps3 login’s on ps4 me and other people will be happy if not the ps4 will just fail

Amazing month. It couldn’t be better. Sleeping Dogs is a game I always wanted to get but didn’t because of a combination of price and having so much else to play. I’ve always got waaaaaay too many games to make time for now thanks to plus. Wipeout is what I was expecting for Vita and it’s great we got that.

Could you just answer one question for me? Will you ever put PSP, PS1 or PS2 games in the IGC? There’s a lot of quality PSP, PS1 and PS2 games on the store I’d love for free. Getting these would make Plus even more perfect than it already is. Would you ever consider releasing these on plus? Please don’t ignore me. I can take a no if that’s the answer.

I would say what a good month to activate a months trial for PSN Plus and well think its a great service. Was wanting to check what the craze was all about with that F1 game and Sleeping Dogs looks epic and havent been able to try it.

I noticed you state the 30% off sale on the 3 months subscriptions would it be possible to buy 2 of those and get 6 months of plus?

Sleeping Dogs, what!? This made my day! Just so you know, that’s almost my entire physical Vita collection now. If you give us LBP, then I will no longer have any need to keep my physical copies.

Great month guys, thank you
This is my wish list for next months:
Mass effect 1 & 2
Dragon age origins
GTA 4 or episodes
Final fantasy VII
Heavenly sword
Tokyo jungle
Walking dead
Okami HD

VERY happy with this months additions, I actually can’t wait to play all 5.

I REALLY hope Dead Island doesn’t come to IGC, for one, it sold A LOT, surely most people have this already and its avaliable everywhere for around £10 for GOTY.

Id love to added in the future

Plants V Zonbies
Heavy Rain
Tekken 6 or Tag
Sonic Generations
Sonic Racing [the first one or the new one, don't mind]
Soul Calibur 6
Ridge Racer Unbounded/ Vita

Hahaha of course this comes at the same time as my Sleeping Dogs is coming in the mail. Won’t hurt to give em some money but (: Great month though guys keep it up!

This is a brilliant update…Wipeout2048 for Vita and Sleeping Dogs for PS3. I can’t wait.

How about some Dragon Age stuff (the first or second one with DLC included or discounted at least?)for PS Plus soon considering the third instalment is coming out later this year. Speaking of Bioware, why not include some Mass Effect (include the first one for free with 2 and 3 along with dlc discounted? seems a win win!) stuff too

Max Payne 3
Okami HD
Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection
GTAIV & Episodes (GTA V is coming soon after all)
Dead Island GOTY
Demons’s Souls or Dark Souls (with DS2 round the corner)
SSFIV Arcade

Oh my god THANK YOU ! Sleeping Dogs and F1 Race Stars for me, I bought QC last week, but hey still smiling !

Great update I have never played Sleeping Dogs. I read it is a little like GTA witch is always a good thing. F1 Race Stars I love kart games It didn’t do well in the reviews but it looks ok. Not sure what Quantum Conundrum but ill give it ago. Wipeout I all ready have due the the £5 top up offer. But I don’t have Lumines so its all good.

This is exactly why I bought plus. Not only do we gets lots of games. We get games that for me personally I would not of heard of and let it slip past me.

Wow, managed to read all the way through to comment #43 before I came across someone complaining – that must be some sort of PS Blog record.

First I would like to say great update, I don’t have any of the games, and wouldn’t mind trying Sleeping Dogs.

Second I would just like to ask if there is any chance EU PS+ will get the spyro games (1, 2 & 3), US got the ages ago, and they are probably some of my favourite PS1 games

Tech question for you. May have already been answered before but just some clarification on DLC and save game compatability with various versions of a game.

If I trade in my physical copies of Lumines and WipeOut 2048 (or any other physical disk/card for any PS3 or Vita game) delete the original installation and then download the digital copy, will all of my save games and DLC for that title still work?

I ask as I bought my physical copy of Uncharted: Golden Abyss in Asia and the DLC map pack bought via my EU based SEN account and the DLC does not work for me and many others in that situation.

I agree that PS+ has paid for itself already many times over, even more so if I can trade in my physical copies. Now I just need to know when PS Vita will have memory cards bigger than 32GB so I have room for all of this free stuff they keep throwing at us. I don’t think I will have to buy a new game now for quite a while…

…OK, maybe AC3 and then Last of Us (if I find the time).

Aww man :\ My Vita is only about a month old but sadly I already have those two Vita games coming to PS + D’: At least everyone with PS+ will have a chance to play them

Wow
Wow
Wow
what an update thank you Sony and people working on this content.
Thank you

Does SCEE perform weekly human sacrifices to obtain such quality titles every month?

SCEA gave its Plus members nothing more than PSN titles AND MINIS for 6 months straight last year, while during the same timeframe SCEE was delivering full retail games, sometimes even two in a month!!!!

You guys need to have a chat with SCEA to let them know how to do Plus properly.

Would itr be possible to have I Am Alive on the next update, this looked interesting and bever got chance to play it

Is there a possibility to add same LEGO games in future updates of Instant Games Collection, like LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean or LEGO Batman?

PS Plus 3 Months for 10€ again! Great, thanks Also looking forward to Sleeping Dogs See @ Blog Team people can be happy with you

If you can Chris please respond.
Before i start i want to commend you guys for getting a great 2012 game sleeping dogs on here so damn fast.

However i find it strange that you would put a game on here that was a 12 days of christmas deal. I mean i bought this just over a month ago and now its free. Its not like i randomly bought it at a store you guys discounted and promoted it.

This is like the 2nd month in a row with no content for me as an Australian subscriber. Lego Batman 2008 PSP edition, Gotham City Impostors (Its free on PC) and now no main content this month :/

I know this might not be the place to post this, but when I log in my account through the website, it tells me I have no trophies and also I can’t choose a ps+ banner for my gamerid card and it says I need to be PS Plus, while I already am.

Is there a problem with the website, or should I freak out?

Btw, great content for February, I’m super pleased for Sleeping Dogs alone. all the rest is super welcome icing on the cake. yay!!

Got the PS Plus subscription at the end of Nov and I couldn’t be happier. All games released were awesome and now this Can’t wait for Sleeping Dogs. Thank you sirs – I will be subscribing for 1 full year at the end of this month.

hi chris,

i would love to see dead island in the plus service!
i have played it for a few moments at a friends house, but havent got it myself. even though there are alot of people who have it, this would be the case for most every title you come up with. dead island would be AWESOME for peoplelike me who havent got it, and i would safely assume we are still in the majority in the plus service (if not on this forum, with more hardcore gamers).
hope to see it soon!

Shocking! F1 Race Stars and Sleeping Dogs were in the 12 “deals” of Christmas only a month ago! How many PS+ gamers snapped up those deals only to find a month later they are getting them for free!

SCEE really need to come up with a system whereby this doesn’t happen, its plain deceptive and dishonest and is the reason why I have not bought a single game off the PS store since I joined PS+.

There must be laws against this?

three out of five, not bad. Thank you sony

I agree with you homerjnick.
I have bought Sleeping Dogs in 12 “deals” of Christmas. It is very unpleasant surprise that SCEE is giving it away for free as PS+ content. It shouldn’t be available for PS+ for example for next 6 months.

Amazing Feb content Chris!

But when the igc was first announced and advertised around July I think (that is before the Vita portion was added in November). It was marketed that it would include at least 45 games (ps3) now it is being advertised that the igc will have 65 games, 39 (ps3) and 26 (Vita). For those without a Vita it would appear to be a shortage of 6(ps3) games of what was originally advertised over the year of membership.

I am however, happy with the content as the igc stands now but can understand the frustrations of those PS3 only plus members.

“Ross promised us 2 games every 4 weeks, not every 4 or 5 weeks depending on the length of the month. He granted us that we would receive 13*2 games, instead of 12*2 as in the USA, as a year has 52 weeks. And 52/4 is 13, not 12. Hell, he even did the calculation himself and till he left, it worked exactly that way as he had promised. And now you turn up and tell us that it we don’t receive 2 games every 4 weeks, as they’d come when they replace other titles, which might remain longer than 8 weeks in the IGC.”

“by Chris Howe

We promise to deliver you up to 65 games in a year across the different platforms as all our advetising shows. How this fits into the schedule can be determined by many factors some of which are out of our control but whatever happens we will deliver that amount so you are not going to miss out on any games. We also delivered you extra PS3 titles outside of the normal update in the form of Big Sky Infinity and Knytt Underground in December if you remember correctly”

First, this answer still doesn’t explain what Ross has promised. He was talking specific about the PSVita offering, not the PS3 one. A PSVita only owner could care less.

Second, I don’t care what extra PS3 titles SCEE gives outside the normal update, that is on SCEE’s account. It shouldn’t be of any influence how many PSVita games are given and with what frequency.

It would be pretty weird if PS3 would get 60 games (based on most users) and SCEE gives PSVita the remaining 5 suddenly.

If Ross gives a promise with exact number of games and timing for PSVita releases out of SCEE’s name, I expect it to be right and don’t like to be pointed back to ‘we’ve advertised 65 games for all platforms’. What will happen when PS4 launches and it gets content, even less for PSVita? PSVita users that got PS+ for just that device paid the full price for PS+ too. If Ross/a mod claimed a certain amount of games to be given to the platform, people count on it.

great month yet again
I cant wait for sleeping dogs and quantum conundrum though not so much for F1 :/
it didn’t get any above average reviews and I already have MS:Apocalypse from PS+ if I want an amazing racing game

I still hope you will add one month Max Payne 3 ,

a great racing game like: Split second/ Blur / modnation racer

and my biggest wish is that XCOM will eventually find its way on EU PS+

Last but not least, about the 4 week cycle instead of a month:

“Ross McGrath has detailed this month’s PlayStation Plus update for Europe over on the official blog.

You’ll have no doubt noticed that Europeans will get ten games as opposed to twelve over in the States. However, because SCEE will cycle the games more often (every 3 months rather than every 4) in effect we’ll actually get more after a year.

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2012/06/05/heres-junes-european-playstation-plus-update/

And:

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/06/05/heads-up-playstation-plus-update-6th-june-2012/

“PlayStation®Plus Game of the Month
The Game of the Month will be changed every 4 weeks”

Thus the 4 week cycle is confirmed a couple of times. ‘How this fits in the schedule’ is a whole other approach.

Has to be the best month to date!

Hi Chris

The US store seems to get 12 month with an extra months value added in that package. Do we get the same in the EU?

hey chris,

never had ps+ before and i am lovng the list so far x a few questions

what sizes are wipe out and lumines and sleeping dogs.

and can we guess that we will get ninga sigma as the us store has it this month x

many thanks for your great service x im def rejoining

Seems like a good month
but…
To be honest, I already do have and finished Sleeping Dogs on Xbox 360, and Quantum Conundrum on PC.
F1 looks kiddish… but maybe it’ll be fun.
I’ll be just waiting for the Vita games, Since I’m subbing PS Plus just for them…

It would be nice to get ONE of these for vita, in March:
Assassins Creed Liberation,
Little Big Planet Vita,
Call of Duty Declassified,
NFS Most Wanted,
Ninja Gaiden Sigma,
Shinobido 2,
UMVC 3,
or
Unit 13.

You pick

P.S:
PS Store in our country DOESN’T HAVE movies at all…
Why?

In addition to the above will PlayStation Plus subscribers in EU between now and March 4th get 15 months for the price of 12 months, with a new 12 month PS Plus Subscription? Or is this just US Only? Thanks

Chris,
What does the total in the year have to do with anything. The refresh pattern was laid out at the start and that’s what we signed up to. By you logic you could just give us 65 games one month and say your done for the year. You know as well as I do that is nonsense. You have moved the goal posts, either through ignorance or arrogance and really this should be rectified.

And when I say you I don’t necessarily me personally but SCEE as a whole.

Another great month. Thanks.

Any chance of getting Fallout NV & DLC discount?

Some HD games discounts would be great. Devil May Cry, Jak & Daxter, Metal Gear Solid.

Already have Sleeping Dogs, but those who don’t should really be excited as it is really an awesome game and will keep completion-ists busy for a solid 30-40 hrs. Very nice update, hope to see such new games being added to Plus in the near future. Sleeping Dogs is barely 6 months old.

Some great stuff there and no mistake. I don’t think I will be getting out much in February.

Hi Chris,

First of all, thank you for the offers, they’re great.

Though, I have a question about January content. Region Turkey didn’t get Mortal Kombat this month, instead we got Gotham City Imposters.
I wanted to ask why we got excluded. I asked this several times to Playstation support, no answer yet.

Cheers

First of all homerjnick, whatever you buy is then yours to keep. Playing the same game through PS+ is only temporary whilst subscribing to the service, but you probably know that already. If you don’t want to buy those games, wait to see if they appear on Plus, but there’s no guarantee that they will.

I do agree to some extent on what you’re saying though. Microsoft had deals throughout the holidays and notified customers what would be on sale beforehand. This gave you the option to wait for the offer to appear. I don’t see why Sony do it differently as people would most likely hesitate buying a certain game now. It would make it a lot easier for them to tell customers what will be available in the upcoming months like the way Sky Movies operate, but they like to surprise people. Sometimes people don’t like to be surprised, especially if it’s the game they just bought. So I can understand why you would be annoyed.

Awesome update since this is my first with ps+.

- bit of a shame that dead space wasn’t available with dead space 3 coming out. But oh we’ll
