Now that all the Christmas madness is out of the way, I thought it would be a good time to take stock of all the great games we’ve hosted in the Instant Games Collection over the past few months, and then look forward to the future.
Since June 2012 the IGC has boasted incredible titles such as Borderlands, Red Dead Redemption, Crysis 2, Batman: Arkham City and, most recently, Sleeping Dogs.
We always do our best to provide a range of titles to suit everyone’s tastes, while also satisfying the general needs of the PlayStation Plus service. Below, using my wizardly Excel skills, I’ve put together a chart showing the genre split for all IGC content since June 2012.
So, let’s talk about the future! We’re always listening to our subscribers and want to find out more about the sort of content that drives you to be a Plus member. Essentially, we want to know what you would like to see in the service over the coming months.
So with that in mind, I’ve put together a little poll. We’d really appreciate it if you took a couple of minutes to tell us the types of games that you want to see in the IGC in the future. Feel free to vote for more than one genre.
The poll will come down on 21st February, at which point I’ll collate and share the results.
*The titles listed are examples only and not guaranteed to be in the Plus service at any time.

I’d like to see HD-ified classics like Jak, Ratchet and Clank, Ico, SotC, etc. Or some from the non-HD PS2 collection, for that matter.
I’d also like to see more RPGs. Ni no Kuni next month on PS+, right, guys?

You should not have put Call of Duty as an example Shooter, because now that category will win and there’s 0% chance that Call of Duty will ever be on PS+.
I voted for Action/Adventure, RPG and Racing

I voted RPG. You dont get much RPG content on PS+

Hey Chris,
Can I add an additional option for the poll along the lines of,
Rather than a genre, Id like the store to be actually functional so I can access my playstation plus content.
Not being malicious, just having real trouble over the past month or so actually accessing the store.

Hi, I would to see more vita content.
I know the library isn’t that extensive but, besides the two monthly games, perhaps a Bonus psp game for the vita or a good mini?
That would round up the month nicely with a release on the final week of the month. (This month would end up with the 3 Ps3 titles on the 6th, then two vita games on the 13th and 20th and a bonus game on the 27th…)

I’d like PSOne games. Also some PSP games would be nice.
In terms of genres I really don’t care. It’s great to have a good mix of things as we do now.
58
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:13 am by PIREDERAS
I believe the following should be added to the IGC:
-RPGs, particularly crazy JRPGs! For example, gems like Valkyria Chronicles, which nowadays I can’t find at retail.
-Indie games.
-Platformers, 2D or 3D.
-Some funny sports games, like SSX, not annual franchises like FIFA.
And, may I request some TV shows or Films, even if they are not games?

Great initiative!!
It’s weird that in the comments i rarely see anyone asking for shooters, if anything i see most people not wanting them, yet the shooter genre is tight in second place. Opposite to that a lot of people (me included) are asking for rpg’s, yet i can’t even see it on the chart. I sure hope the poll is functioning well because imho we got moooore than enough shooters already!

I’d like to see more FREE map packs & add ons. I.e. COD, LBP etc. stuff that never has been or will be free to non PS+ users.
61
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:18 am by R_Sanu
I think you need to include some RPG content and maybe some platformers.
I’d love to see the following games though:
Sonic Generations
Castlevania: Lord of Shadows
Dragon Age
Eternal Sonata
Demon Souls
If i get one of those next week I’ll be happy!
62
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:20 am by hayzink
Thanks chris this is the kind of input that plus members have been looking to give.
To be honest the last few months have been pretty mixed with content types which is ideal, 3 different genres in a month is the best way to go in my own opinion that way there should always be something for everyone.
Btw if you can get it disgaea 3 would be great addition for vita igc
Keep up the good work

Choosing genres doesn’t work for me. For example I love Street Fighter but hate Mortal Kombat, I love LittleBigPlanet but I hate Sonic.
I’m still waiting for Super SFIV Arcade Edition like the US got a couple months ago.
To be honest I haven’t enjoyed the majority of Plus freebies such as all the ones mentioned in early in the topic (such as RDR, Batman, Crysis, Borderlands and so on). I still find Plus great value for the few games that come free that I have loved (Motorstorm Apocalypse, LBP2, Infamous 2, R&C All for One, Sly Cooper and even PSN titles such as Double Dragon Neon) and the automatic updates and cloud saving have become essential to my usage of my PS3.
Also I wouldn’t mind a bit knocked off my monthly Netflix subscription if possible.

Please DO NOT add PS1 or PSP games to the Vita PS+ service.
I own a Vita because I want to play Vita games.
As for the PS3 service. Full retail games are the way to go. Only add PSN titles if they are really good standout games.
*this is my opinion

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:23 am by pugcool
more adventure and rpg please for the love of god do not put that terrible game on it called call of duty that is just realy poor and does not deserve the rite to be in this vote infact i dont think it belongs any where

maby god of war series since gowa is out in march

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:26 am by almighty-slayer
Voted for… everything! A broad range of titles is what i want, and to be honest, if it’s free, i’ll give anything a go
Keep up the good work, Chris

I would prefer a mixture of platforms again.
It would be nice if we could receive 2 PS3 titles, 1 PSN Title, 1 VITA title & 1 PSone Title every month.
I’m not that bothered on genre but it would be nice to see more RPGs included & obscure titles like Catherine, 3D Dot Heroes, No More Heroes, Asura’s Wrath & Okami HD.
It would be great if you could secure roughly 4 PS3 Full titles every month & we have a choice of which 2 will enter our PLUS month, by submitting a Poll like this one. It would be great also if a title is within a SALE, then it won’t enter the PLUS service for at least 3 months.
Other than that the PLUS subscription is fantastic value.
Kind Regards

It would be awesome if there somehow is a way to know more in advance what games are coming up next. I know it must be part of the strategy and to keep the price for subscription so low, but the past triple A games that came on I already played earlier. I would be more than happy to wait if I had known. Also, would be willing to pay a few bucks more to build the service out into a sort of Netflix/Spotify thing.

I voted for RPG. If Ni no Kuni comes on IGC. Im going to be awake for the whole day just to download that top game. This month was Sleeping dogs which is a incredible game!

everybody wants more rpgs but the problem is there arent much rpgs on the ps3 to begin with.
75
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:30 am by ArkTekniK
Definitely RPGs – I’d love some RPGs on Vita. The psp RPG back catalogue is phenomenal but most of them seem to be around £20 each…
RPGs!
76
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:32 am by RedPriestRezo
More RPG, less FPS, please! And more exclusives and less multiplatform, if you don’t mind.
And more 75% discounts like in US!
77
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:34 am by RedPriestRezo
>>everybody wants more rpgs but the problem is there arent much rpgs on the ps3 to begin with.
More than enough, actually. From Yakuza and Resonance of Fate to Ni No Kuni, Neptunia, Tales of and many, many more.
That is, if you don’t hate jRPGs, of course.
78
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:37 am by tony27
I thnk you are doing a very good job at this time and because alot of USA plus user are quite jelous of us EU user contents.
I hope you maybe able to persuade Sega to get the Yakuza series and Valkyria Chronicles for plus users.

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:39 am by Robinworldwide
Whoops my bad…i didn’t read well and figured the chart was the votes up till now, but now i see it’s a chart about what we got over the last few months!!
Once again, great initiative!!

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:40 am by greggypoos
‘Western’ RPGs like Kingdoms of Amalur, Fallout etc would be great. Sim-style racers: would be good to get some use out of my logitech wheel! PSP games would be welcome in addition to native vita games, but would probably be unpopular as a replacements.
Thanks for asking!

I said this before on the store update
post, but I’ll state it here again.
(And expand on my earlier post somewhat.)
I would like to see some “indie gems”
each month. Limbo was a great example
of this. The Unfinished Swan, Datura
(or Linger in Shadows), From Dust
and Dyad would all be solid choices.
“Packs” of classic game series would
be quite nice too. (eg. God Of War Saga
/ Metal Gear / Team ICO / OddBoxx)
So I’m all for the new and quirky
(or older but still great) stuff.
You’re doing great on the Vita content
as far as I’m concerned. For the “big
hitters”: Max Payne and Dishonored
would be excellent!
Here’s one last though: Dust 514 content
or aurum packs or “subscriptions”
included into the Plus membership
would be quite a deal too.

Few platformers, RPG’s and of course Racing games and F1 Race Stars is the only title that’s in that genre. Also, I think we already had enough shooters and not please, no multilayer only games. Why, because some are free and people don’t even play them.
83
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:47 am by Gregyor
I’m hoping for something like GTA, don’t want to buy that again.
84
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:47 am by Scottish_Sin
More RPG’s would be nice.
85
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:47 am by MikLSP
I’d like to see a balance of all genres but looking at the chart above I think more racing games are in order.
I can see why people want RPGs but I personally find there are so many games to play that I am reluctant to make a start on massive, time consuming games. For that reason I would not like to see an increase in RPG or open world games.
As a further point, how about something beyond games? I would love to see some level of Music Unlimited subscription included in PS Plus.
86
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:48 am by paul_zx
PSP RPG’s like Persona 1, 2 and 3 or Trails in the sky.
87
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:49 am by the1free_man
I went with “Games I don’t already have”. That’s a doable option, right?
88
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:50 am by TheMART
I like a mixed bag of everything, as long as its less shooters than its up till now!
Plus: make sure the PSVita also gets content that is well reviewed. Not only in the instant game collection and the monthly games but also in the sales.
SCEE gave LittleBigPlanet Vita for around 18 bucks for PS+ members at the Xmas sale, SCEA gave a PSVita sale 2 months after mods said a sale would be ‘coming soon’ and it had bad games, games that were in rebate already shortly before for the same price or games that have been given away for free with PS+ or are even given away next week (Lumines…).
So as long as its less FPS and more of the rest of the genres I am fine. A game like SSX for PS3, for PSVita just something of the higher scoring games you need to push sales of that PSVita badly or 3rd party will stay away.

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 11:53 am by KoopaTim
Some RPG’s, platformers and action adventure games would be sweet. Also, the US seems to be getting PSP games for their vita, I think 1 additional PSP game per month would be a pretty sweet deal, to expose a new audience to those games?

Some love for PSP owners who are not fortunate enough to own a PS Vita yet would be very nice… Just saying!

Added “Strategy” to others. The other content is RPGs.
Wish we’d get some Strategy-RPGs. NA had Final Fantasy Tactics: War of Lions as part of their PS Vita PS+ collection, I got it now during the sale.
On that account, could you please get Jeanne D’Arc and Valkyrie Chronicles to the EU PS Store? NA has them, I want them.

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:02 pm by adumr82
Firstly I voted RPG. We badly need something, mass effect or dragon age 2 would be OK.
Secondly I can’t believe it let me vote when I wasn’t logged in. This should be limited to plus customers.
Thirdly I’d like to know how shooters aren’t the top genre. What have you classed as action/adventure?
Finally sleeping dogs has been fantastic.
96
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:05 pm by NightRanma
It doesn’t really matter what sort of content is put up for instant game collection on PS+. All genres should be represented, because there’s always going to be somebody who will appreciate it.
What you really need to do is make sure Vita keeps being represented. Somehow Vita PS+ users have LOST content. Right now there’s only 3 games in the Instant Game Collection. This needs to be fixed.
Also what am I missing? I can’t find any poll to vote.
97
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:05 pm by adumr82
Please don’t go down the PSP route unless its either a very good game or in addition to vita stuff. Plus never came to the PSP and we should leave it that way for the most part
98
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:05 pm by dpb20499
definitely need more rpgs. hopefully some jrpgs like white knight. something with depth. Most of the games are shooters and short
99
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:09 pm by CBrownPants
Anything with platinum trophies. I would love any of the Assasin Creeds too or some new avatars.
I’m a huge fan of shooters, but the amount we have had recently is just too much. I couldn’t face playing another shooter. I don’t class borderlands as a shooter, that game was awesome. Games like Crysis 2 that stop me getting the platinum unless I spend weeks playing online multiplayer are starting to bug me.

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:09 pm by Lunastra78
I’d love to see Demon’s Souls as a freebie. That would bring a lot of new players to the game for me to invade and kill.
