You know you could have said all of that in just one post and not three...

Why would you think that? Vita got some big games a couple of months after launching with PS Plus. Mostly launch titles like Uncharted and Gravity Rush. We will most likely see the same for PS4. Knack is almost a guaranteed game to be on PS Plus and possibly some third party game. Maybe Assassin's Creed will be there in order to push the next Assassin's Creed game next November (or whenever it releases). Possibly even NFS Rivals. Who knows, all I know is that it won't take them "years" to give out big games on PS4 for PS Plus. Not to mention that the install base for PS Plus will increase because you now need it to play online.

Those are Sony Vita games.

And the requirement for online play is a double edged sword. The install base and amount of people downloading these free games is both a good thing and a bad thing for other publishers. I assume this is one reason Europe got so many more incredible games on PS3 PS+ than we got in the US. Put those same games up in the US and they will be downloaded a lot more.

Knack is a boring looking game so simplistic that Jimmy Fallon was able to master it in about 2 minutes. And is also a Sony game. I am talking the huge AAA 3rd party titles. I am sure Sony will load up PS+ with lots of their own retail and indie titles.

Why would it matter where the games come from. Whether they be published by Sony or are third party...I would prefer to get Killzone than most of the third party games the PS4 will have at launch.



So... Sony throws money at them? Yeah, I figured.

No developers just give their games out for free.

Nah, I think this is wrong. They pay Sony for the exposure.
