Five games that could hit PS Plus on PS4 this year

PlayStation Plus has been a staple in our diet for just over 18 months now, bringing fresh meaning to the word back catalogue and destroying people’s free time the world over. But is it possible to predict what might be coming soon to PlayStation Plus?

This time we'll be taking a look at the newest member of the PlayStation family, the PS4.

I think Assassins creed Black Flag could eventually hit PS plus this year. That's the only one I am would really enjoy playing for free.

minimur124485d ago

I doubt it'll be this year, maybe the end of next. Us getting AC 3 1 year later was to show up Xbox getting AC2, lol

And I don't see why everyone's thinking knack will come to PS Plus, Sony plasters it everywhere, only games with metacritic of 70+ (althoughthe EU rep messed up and said 80)
Knack has a meta rate of like 54, iirc so it's not going to get it, unless they go against their own policy....

CertifiedGamer4485d ago

Even though I am not a fan of Knack, I can estimate why Knack will be on Plus. Sony is currently bundling a code for Knack in Japan which gives it high probability that Sony will throw it over the Plus members. It isn't getting the same love in the USA as compared to other franchises and Sony doesn't seem to mind giving it to there fans over seas so chances are that it can end up being a Plus game.

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition is a sure bet.

Mikey322304485d ago

I would love to see Heavenly Sword come to PS3's PS+.

iamnsuperman4485d ago

Knack will (I think sooner rather than later). Killzone I am unsure about. It sold well and it will have free DLC (last time I heard it would get the maps free). So it wouldn't be a big think for the PS4. I think AC:Black Flag will. DLC will be a big reason why Ubisoft will do it.

Philoctetes4485d ago

I'd take Knack for sure. It got crapped on, but the twitch streams made me want to pick it up.

Mr_Writer854485d ago

I (very stupidly) actually put time and effort into getting the Platinum for Knack.

It's not a great game, and on hard and very hard it can get stupidly irritating.

You know when you play a game and you die loads and you feel like every time you die it was cheap?

It's that sort of game.

Is it as terrible as some reviews and fanboys make out? No.

However play it on easy you will enjoy it more, and don't try the plat if you get annoyed easily. I'm a pretty laid back guy but even I got a little heated at some points.

kingdom184485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

@Mr_Writer I agree to a point, but on easy, it is way too easy. Normal is a challenge for some enemies if their weakness isn't clear, which irks me. But time and patience can get you through a level easily.

I still say it deserves somewhere between a 6 and a 7. Its far from great, but far from horrible. I like the replay value it has for collecting relics and gadget parts. But it does start to get boring after awhile. The game has a good concept but it doesn't seem to have been executed as well as it could have. If they made it open world, in the way the first Jak was, and more of a platformer I think it could have gone better.

nero20824485d ago

Knack is actually VERY unlikely to appear on PS+, they have a policy that games appearing have to be over 70% rated on metacritic, Knack is not even close to 70%

CertifiedGamer4485d ago (Edited 4485d ago )

They gave us Contrast which scored a 62% on metacritic and was a game that was already released on 360 and PS3. I am sure Sony knew it wouldn't score anywhere near the 70s

iamnsuperman4485d ago

They may not like to buy <70 games (that is how plus functions and the policy makes a lot of sense because of the monetary input needed for it to work) but this is a Sony game. They just need to put it on.

Clover9044485d ago

I still believe the reason Basement Crawl was delayed is because it'll be the ps4 plus game of March. Wouldn't be surprised if Daylight is April's plus game. Sony announced Secret Ponchos would be a Plus game, though we don't know the release date for it.

As for bigger titles, I imagine Plus will offer one big title that sticks around for 6 months or a year, and a smaller indie title every month. We all know Driveclub will be on Plus, so I wouldn't expect another big title on Plus for a long time.

admiralvic4485d ago

As I posted in another topic, Polygon reported Secret Ponchos would be the April plus game. While they're not the most reliable of sources, we do know for a fact it will be a plus game and the site says it is releasing in Q1. Ignoring the fact April is Q2, it might be delayed a few days so it could be the April plus game.

As far as Drive Club goes, I wouldn't consider that a "big one". To me, Drive Club PS Plus edition sounded like a nice way to offer a big game for free, without offering a big game for free. I think a lot of people have started to forget that it is a stripped down version of the game and falls in line more with when Starhawk wen free with Plus. That is to say, Starhawk was the single player and you could buy the multiplayer. So while some of Drive Club is free, you would still need to purchase the game to get the full experience unlike a lot of other games that have gone free.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot29d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose31d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE31d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername30d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy31d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde30d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8630d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8630d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300031d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle30d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7730d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
