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 voted for everything except sports and racing
sports games release ever year and most of them are mediocre except 5 or so
most racing games are boring and not worth their price unless they’re open world,arcade or excellent simulators like Gran Turimo 5
aswell as i voted 4 mp because i always wanted to play starhawk’s mp ,MAG and COD 4(didn’t buy them because they’re old and probably have a few amount of players left)

I would love to see free film rentals each month of OUR choice.
If we could pick any film free from the library to watch that would be fantastic.

I’d like more RPG content and Dead Island would be a nice addition to the service.

I love TPP games. Shooters, action games, RPGs, whatever. I don’t know why, but I just enjoy TPP games the most

This is a bit ‘out there’ as a suggestion, but I wanted to bring it up:
Is it possible to have PS Plus change from different games evey month, to a certain pool of games, of which you can have say 10 activated at a time. This way, if you join Plus, you could still access games that were on Plus before at the expense of games that are now added to Plus. You could also choose just the Psone/PSP/Vita games that have been on Plus if you have only a handheld, or vice versa if you have only a PS3. You also would be able to pick games instead of maybe the games on Plus being games you have already bought on PSN or at retail
As I say, I do realise that is a long shot, and maybe not as lucrative for publishers, but I was annoyed to miss out on Arkham City by a few days, and already own a fair amount of the Plus content that has become available (I’ve now sold my retail Sleeping Dogs, Uncharted Vita and Gravity Rush, but if you could choose the games it would be less hassle)

With Germany getting binary domain does that mean the rest of us will never get it? I would have liked that at some point.
I think its about time countries like Germany were taken out of our plus region as it is unfair on everyone. They are getting thinks late and then preventing the rest of us getting things in the future.

Please make it possible for PS+ members to change their online ID (alt leas one time). Many are stuck with a rushed choice they made years ago.
Keep up the great collection of games!

Nice to see so many people wanting more RPG’s and I’ll add myself to that list! Definitely needs to be a bit less FPS orientated and a more level balance across the genres as there’s so far been very little in the way of RPG’s, Racers or Platformers. Also keep the service the way it is, no going back to the days of PS1 games etc for the Vita side of things unless they’re added as a bonus on top of the current games, I own a Vita to play Vita games on. Also as a few others have suggested, maybe some free/reduced rentals on movies would be good & more 3D compatible content as I’ve just upgraded to a 3D Bravia and Arkham City looks stunning!!!

I’ll be glad if we receive some good RPGs titles.

jrpg! maybe not ninokuni (this game is worth buying) but something like Agarest would be nice. or 3d dot game heroes. I almost forgot about it. everything except shooters

I’d like to see DCL as part of plus. Free or discounted
I’d also like to see PSX and Minis return to the mix as these are suitable for both Vita and PS3, WIN WIN situation.
Avatars and themes are always welcome.
I liked the old style of PS+, the new version is great but lets face it , if you work full time and have other activities other than gaming in your life ( Spending time with your kids, sports, socializing) then your not going to get through all of the instant game collection. not to mention the amount of space it takes up. I ran out of space in the 1st month of the instant game collection. And i only downloaded 2 games, ( still not played them)
Yes flinging lots of games at us is great, But there is only so much you can download and play at any given time.

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:41 pm by genjiboy
Voted
RPG’s, Action Adventure and Platformers
. And Borderlands 2 seems more a shooter/rpg to me, not just a shooter. (I love Borderlands so I also voted for shooters)

Hi Chris
I think this is a good step in the right direction. What would be even better would be a section on the website where people can vote on specific games they would like to see free rather than the type of game. Obviously there will always be ones that you can’t get but you could have a top ten chart of the most wanted games and even if the number one game is not achievable providing the second and the third would still make people very happy
If a game isn’t available to vote on you could suggest it and it could be added as a game for others to vote for too. Thanks!

While asking us what we want is great and a respected approach, your own research shows the bias towards 2 genres, balance is what’s needed, you have 2 genres listed that have no representation at all in the chart. i think the focus should be on turning that very steep slope into a more level surface
variety is the spice of life and all that
With PS Home now more focused on gaming i’d love to see it included in plus, sure there’s been a couple of promotions, but nothing long term, it needs to be a regular feature with games and exclusives, not just avatar accessories either
there are a lot of paid games in there now and a lot of potential to get more PS+ users into home making the home community stronger, it’d be win win including home in PS+.

I like to see assassin creed 3 , ghost recon avatars and final fantasy 13, final fantasy 13×2′, god of war collection
also it be good if we can choose free movie from video sore each month

I want more “free” avatars

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:48 pm by Lunastra78
I had a dream…
That Sega and Sony made Valkyria Chronicles a Plus freebie, added trophies to it, and converted VC2 and 3 to PS3 HD remakes.

More RPG’s and JRPGs please, this genre really needs a bit of loving
128
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:55 pm by Kreynor
I voted for Action, Multiplayer and Fighting. As much as I love RPGs, I’d prefer to buy them so that I can support the developers, especially the japanese ones.

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:55 pm by FinalFantasyDunk
Merge the old style of plus with the new style of plus. A lot of people including myself liked the old way plus was but also like the new. Why not have a full PS3 game including avatars, a few themes, a Ps1 or 2 classic with a couple of other tidbits.
130
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 12:56 pm by SamiFFXII
I voted more RPGs as we don’t get many of those, but like they have to be decent ones.
Thanks guys for allowing the feedback.

I would like to see some RPGs in PS+ like Dragon Age or Mass Effect. Also some hd collections might be good as well like God of War, Ratchet and Clank etc.

New little king story for the psVita =D.

I’m not too fussed about the genres you put up, I’m happy to try anything. I’d be more keen on you picking out some more hidden gems or games that I’d like to try but not enough to run out and buy. Something like Dragon’s Dogma or Demons’ Souls which seem interesting but not a must-buy.
Getting massive titles like Batman or RDR is brilliant but in reality I’ve already bought, played and enjoyed them so having a digital copy is but a small bonus.
134
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 1:01 pm by Lewis-Angelo
Action Adventure
Bayonetta, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Assassin’s Creed: La Hermandad, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, L.A Noire, Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning, Darksiders 2, Hitman Absolution, DmC

We need more RPG’s; the two mentioned would be ideal and maybe Demon Souls.
Oh, and iv been hoping for Flower for awhile

I would like some new avatars. They never seem to be updated.
137
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 1:16 pm by OttoT
I think you guys are doing an amazing job with Plus.
The only games I don’t care for are often the brad new games you get like the F1 game this month. The quality of these games are often terrible.
The full blu-ray games are spot on. The rest is a mixed bag with hits and misses but mostly hits!
The Vita sellection stays a bit behind regarding big titels but I see it as a +.
RPG’s are the only games I miss.
A Move titels as an extra would be nice but not everyone has move so it should be added on now and then and could improve the sales of move controlers.
138
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 1:17 pm by OttoT
In adition, I don’t care for sport games, avatars or backgrounds.

i would love to see cod black ops declassified on vita ps plus because I bought the ps3 version for €60 when it came out and it would be nice to have some cod for on the go courtesy of ps+

I like the way it is now. I don’t play every game that’s offered but as long as there’s variety in the selection, then it’s good the way it is. I wouldn’t have played Sleeping Dogs if it wasn’t for Plus, and I was surprised how good that game was. So that was a good choice.
You’re going to find it difficult to please everyone. But if it’s a racing title or Platform game one month, then whatever. Throw them all in. If it’s a game that I don’t usually play, then I’ll have to think it could be to someone else’s liking and accept it. You could vote for certain games in the same way your doing for this poll, it could help make your job a little easier.

anything with a story is good. we dont get many games that have a decent story. also open world games like sleepoing dogs are excellent.
what i would hate to see more of is multiplayers, sports and shooters
multiplayers are bad because by the time they can be given away on the igc there are barely any people still online. and i think im speaking for the majority of plus users but i like to collect trophies and multiplayers have bad trophies as they require things that are out of your control.
sports are bad because its a touchy area, you either love them or hate them and i dont think its a good idea to have something that can be so easily hated (i personally fall on hatred for them because i play games to enjoy things that arent possible for me to do in real life. sports you can go outside and do at anytime there is no place for them on the console)
and shooters are a bad choice because most of them are all the exact same. the only unique shooter ive played is borderlands. the rest are fairly similar and short and people who subscribe to plus are not just casual gamers, most of us come to it for something new to experience, while shooters are barely ever a new experience
(comment continues to next comment)

oh and say no to side scrollers!
they are not fun they are not entertaining and they are not even worth the download. i have so many 0%’s in my trophy list because of this that i am not happy about. i dont even bother downloading all those small games anymore to be honest.

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 1:25 pm by BiosNova
This is a great idea. I would love to see games such as Ni No Kuni up for the IGC.

Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 1:30 pm by Pandarin_86
Aww, it’s so hard to pick! I like pretty much every genre. I’ve not noticed many RPG’s up there, so it’s tempting to say that, but the only one I have missing is Ni No Kuni. Aaah, it’s a tough pick.
147
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 1:37 pm by konowalPL
FPS – Killzone 3/ Battlefield Bad Company 2/ Call of Duty
Racing – Need For Speed/ Gran Turismo 5

My favorite would be RPG and action-advanture. Theres already quite alot of action-advanture for PS+ so would definetly like to see more RPG.
149
Posted on 14 February, 2013 at 1:40 pm by Viper7
Personally one of the best things I have seen you guys do with Plus is offering these games that deserve far more than they got.
(I don’t really care about the genre any more, as long as it’s not shooter)
I mean potentially you could “indirectly” help these really good games such as Vanquish to reach potential audience.
Let’s face it, plenty of players just buy games based on the name or the cover because they lack the intellect or knowledge to buy the less know buy ultimately far better game.
With PlayStation plus Instant Game Library you guys have the power to introduce gamers to new series, IP’s and genres they might not have even considered otherwise.

Good call on the film idea. Would also encourage people who mostly use the PS3 as a home entertainment hub to sign up. One film a month would be a pretty good deal on its own. I’d happily lose a game for a film.
