Will be playing infamous, loved the first two.

Offered a 5 day extension to your current PS plus subscription and 10% off all purchases as way of compensation.

They may as well not have bothered.

[Furmedge]

So those people who got one Christmas day and couldn't get online don't even get the 5 days. And 10% off is still £25 more than you can buy elsewhere.

 

Go Sony!

I read about the 'compensation' earlier, and didn't think it would go down too well.

 

However, that said, I was of the thought that there would be nothing at all, so something's better than nothing. Right?

 

In all honesty, I don't believe that Sony really had to provide any form of compensatory package, as the DDoS attack on them was not of their making, and these DDoS attacks are near impossible to prevent. So, to my mind, the Terms of Service were not breached by any negligence on their part.

 

If you're not too familiar with DDoS, have a read of this article on Kotaku.

 

EDIT: Oh, and it's more than what Microsoft have offered...

I don't know about that. I got the special thank you from Microsoft for buying an Xbox One during its first year. A clip art avatar and a "limited edition poster" which just has your name scrawled across it. Oh, and it's emailed to you, so you have to print it out yourself. Talk about pouring salt into the wound of a hasty price cut.

Nidhogg is in the sale for £5.24 I'm told. Now that is a lot of fun.

[Elite]

I got confused thinking it was infamous second son, when in fact it's called first light which is a bit shit.

Transistor, the top-notch second title from Bastion developer Supergiant Games, will be free to download next month via PlayStation Plus.

 

Subscribers will be able to nab a PS4 copy of the game from 4th February, alongside Greek-themed 2D adventure Apotheon.

PlayStation 3 owners get Thief and Yakuza 4 for free, meanwhile.

If you have a PlayStation Vita, your free games are procedurally-generated 2D platformer Rogue Legacy and indie 3D adventure Kick and Fennick.

It's worth pointing out that Rogue Legacy is actually a Cross-Buy game, meaning that its inclusion as one of next month's free Vita titles also enables you to download it on PS3 and PS4. Nice!

This month's PlayStation Plus freebies - inFamous First Light, The Swapper, Prototype 2, DuckTales Remastered, Woah Dave! and Duke Nukem: 3D Megaton Edition - will remain available until 3rd February, so you've only got a few days left to make them yours.

Not bad. Transistor's great, and I've been thinking about picking up Rogue Legacy too.

 

I wish they could make the Yakuza games playable on the PS4 though. An HD collection would be fantastic.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

_{Transistor is meant to be very good.}

No announcement yet, think they are trying to get the ps plus version of driveclub ready?

Valiant Hearts

Counterspy

Abe's Oddysee New n Tasty

 

Excellent lineup, but no AAA fare... Looking forward to playing them myself.

Hello,Follow me 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Valiant Hearts is fantastic.

 

Glad I didn't get rid of my PS3 now, as I'd been thinking about picking up Crimes and Punishments.

[Elite]

Just had a go on valiant hearts, it's better than I expected.

[Allan]

[Dan Vito Corleone]

One of the strongest months in a while for my money. Abe FTW.

[Elite]

Really enjoying Valiant Hearts, I am usually a snob in regards to the 'mini games' but this has definitely changed my perception. The animation, story and General feel of the game are all top class.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Interesting game that. Really tugs at the heart strings as well, such a sad subject matter.
