Forums - Sony Discussion - Is the quality of PS+ Free Games going down?

I predicted months ago that a majority of PS+ subscribers are there only for online play and therefore the quality of Free Games is gonna go down.

Now I'm looking at these May releases...

  • Stick it to the Man (PS4)
  • Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 (PS3)
  • Puppeteer (PS3)
  • Skullgirls Encore (PS3)
  • Surge Deluxe (PS Vita)
  • LIMBO (PS Vita)

I'm still getting my money's worth with PS+ and there are couple games here I wanna try. But it seems to me the they're throwing less money at developers for quality Free Games even though the service is more profitable than ever.

 

What say you!??!??!?!?

Around the Network

they recently gave Bioshock infinite, a game with a 94 meta, so im gonna say, no.



Not their best month, but I'm not seeing it as an overall trend.



With the exception of the PS4 game, which I'm unaware of, it seems fine to me
Especially Skullgirls Encore, which I had for PC.
It has Squiggly. :I

Sure, let's forget we got Batman Arkham City last month lol.



Around the Network

Every now and then they have a slow month, but recently we've gotten Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Batman Arkham City, DMC Devil May Cry,, Kingdms of Amalur, Borderlands, and so on. So no I don't think the quality is slowing down in any way.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Putting Puppeteer in that list is a reason enough not to discuss anything with you regarding quality. Let alone Batman, Tomb Raider, Bioshock etc. we just got.



Not across the board. But PS4's PS+ has bee atrocious thus far. I know it's still early in the life cycle but I was expecting the games to be at least enjoyable. The only enjoyable game for PS4 PS+ so far is Dead Nation and I had that game on PS3 and had to rebuy it on PS4. Still, I know future releases will make it worthwhile. PS+ started weak on PS3 as well.

That's game is old. What are we talking about here? Game For Gold? Remember Me and Metro Last Light were much more notable releases.

I was told more subscribers is more money, therefore better games. This month though... meh.

I think Sony is still going to pepper in a notable release here and there. Just less often.

That's game is... old. That would be acceptable for Games For Gold release. Remember Me and Metro Last Light were much more notable releases.

Bioshock Infinite was released in Feb for PS Plus. Also, I'd rather have Batman Arkham City han Remember Me...Just because the game is new doesn't mean it's good. BTW, Puppeteer is a better game than Remember Me, so it would mean the quality of games is going up.
