PSNOT 3.0 - Let's Talk About University of Kentucky, Baby!

That new Sonic game looks sweet. And that FF 15 side scrolling pixel thing loons even sweeter. I find it hard to believe that it's not gonna be sold separately though.

It probably will be sold by itself since GS is just giving it to you for free when you preorder and pick up FFXV.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this lineup looks dumb:

Play-2016-Lineup-Ann.jpg


Launch Date Title
(Platform) PS Plus Pre-Order Price Regular Price Pre-Order Theme
(PS4) $15.99 $19.99 Static 7/26 Headlander
(PS4) $15.99 $19.99 Static 8/2 Abzu
(PS4) $11.99 $14.99 Static 8/9 Brut@l
(PS4) $15.99 $19.99 Dynamic 8/16 Bound

Find details on each title below.

Headlander

Adult Swim Games and acclaimed studio Double Fine team up to bring you Headlander, a ’70s-sci-fi-inspired platformer. Play as a disembodied human head that takes over bizarre robot bodies in a retro-futuristic “utopia” ruled by a deranged computer.

Abzu

Abzu is a beautiful, dreamy underwater adventure. Immerse yourself in a vibrant, hidden world that’s bursting with life but beware as you swim deeper – dangers lurk in the mysterious depths.

Brut@l

Choose your hero – Ranger, Mage, Warrior, or Amazon – then descend into a dangerous world constructed entirely from ASCII characters. Weapon crafting, potion brewing, and local 2P multiplayer will help you survive the onslaught of enemies in these unique dungeons.

Bound

Developed exclusively for PlayStation 4 by Plastic, the team behind innovative titles like Linger In Shadows and Datura, Bound is a 3D platformer that combines a unique visual style with a powerful story and gameplay mechanics infused with modern dance.

Bound was the only one I thought looked interesting and no way would I buy it at that price.

No one here will likely care (except maybe Sage and/or Derek), but World of Final Fantasy is getting a SE Store-exclusive Collector's Edition for $119.99:

If anything, I might preorder the Vita Day-One Edition to secure the Japanese Voiceover DLC.

I've had it pre-ordered for ages since that price confusion where it looked like they were going to charge $60 for the game but Amazon had it for $40, or something.

It's looking better and better as more videos come out.

 
I didn't see anybody mention it in the thread, but probably it got mentioned on Discord. If not, GS is doing the promo again where they give the same cash as they do credit for trade-ins.

This is the first Marvel movie I've been really excited about since GotG. So many of those movies are jumbled together with others in the universe, so it's nice to see entries that stand on their own a bit more. Plus I've no knowledge of Strange so if they do a good job with the movie it'll be a nice intro.

This is also appealing for the same reasons:

I haven't watched BvS yet, but Gal Galdot was supposed to be a pretty fantastic Wonder Woman, right? Plus it's got Chris Pine, who I've liked in the few roles I've seen him in. No idea what he's playing here, though.

I might have mentioned in passing that there was a chance ESRB screwed up their listing (that's where the articles got their info on it heading to PS4), but I didn't really confirm that that was the case. My bad.

 
song of the deep genuinely gets better and turns in to a serviceable puzzle/adventure game.  way too much combat.  sometimes the puzzles feel overwhelming - on more than one occasion I've gotten to a room that looks like it's going to take so much effort and I groan out loud a bit, but they're never as bad as they look.  and it's starting to drag at this point and I'm not sure how close I am to the end.  but it's not so bad.

so far on psnp only 1/4 of the people that have played have gotten as far as me in the story.  my playtime is about 4 hours.  I wonder if people are giving up on it because it's so unfun for the first hour or so or if they're just treasure hunting and wandering off the main path a lot.

 
I also had my first real wipeout in hardcore mode of alienation and had to reload my ps+ save.  it's such a silly mode for this game to have since things can turn against you so fast and you can go from full health to dead in less than a second and it's not always because of a mistake you make.

 
The used prices for a few games dropped at Gamestop for today only ("Cyber Monday in July"):

Uncharted 4 ($35.49): http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/uncharted-4-a-thiefs-end/116405

DOOM ($26.49): http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/doom/123068

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection ($12.99): http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/games/borderlands-the-handsome-collection/120032

CAG16 (16% off) & SAVER (free Value shipping for $25+ order, before any discounts) are the coupon codes to use if you buy online, but they don't always stack and it's random when they do.

Mild, you could transfer some of your GS credit by getting DOOM on either system and trading it in to Best Buy for $25 ($27.50 if you're GCU).

Headlander reviews:

Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/headlander-review/1900-6416484/

8/10

The 10 or so hours it takes to beat Headlander are packed with glimmering visual effects and great tunes that range from light-hearted lounge music to overbearing synth tracks. It's a weird and infectious world that feels like the perfect playground for Headlander's quirky and engaging action. Minus one boss fight and an odd instance of major slow-down in a treacherous labyrinth filled with bouncing lasers, there's rarely a bump in the road that proves significant enough to disrupt the joys of flying around as a head, decapitating robots, and taking over bodies against the game's absurd and colorful backdrop.
From its odd mechanics to its captivating presentation, Headlander's parallels to Metroid bubble under the surface; it's the game's fresh qualities that grab your attention and make it one of the most delightful takes on the well-worn formula in years.

8.2/10

Headlander is an unexpectedly great take on Metroidviania-style action. Some of the objective design renders its flashier, body-endangering powers moot, but the quick and complex moment-to-moment gameplay carries it splendidly. It’s difficult but fair, and fast-paced but satisfying through to the end. And with a story so dangerously loaded with trope upon trope, it’s a joy to see Headlander sidestep some cliches with a beautiful setting, dark humor, and, well… a rocket-powered head. That’ll do the trick.

4.5/10 ( :whistle2:k)

I feel bad about knocking a game for not leaning all the way into what is unquestionably a unique visual style, but the more I played Headlander, the more I was itching for any kind of depth. When it's not shallow, it's frustrating. I did honestly enjoy the segments where the game sheds its ambitions in favor of light, affable metroidvania puzzling, but there aren't enough of those moments. (A sequence where you scramble around an elevator shaft solving puzzles is easily the highlight.) The parts of Headlander that don't quite fit -- there's a final boss you have to fight using puzzle mechanics -- chafe to the point of discomfort.
Without those lackluster diversions, it would be an amicable trifle. Even at its best, the game feels like an idea gestating in real-time, like a sponge dinosaur filling up with water. So much of Headlander teases you with the idea of what could have been; a shame, because the game we actually got is kind of a bummer.

We should find out the August games this week for Plus.  One possible game is Yakuza 5 since it went free for a minute last month in Europe, although I already bought it.  Livelock for the PS4 could be a plus game as it releases on 8/2, though I doubt it will be.  Top down shooter with online coop.  For the Vita, I expect one game will be Secret Agent Clank or Hot Shots Shorties.

 
Did Dragon Fantasy 2 ever get patched on PSV/PS3? I know they put out a PS4 version with a bunch of fixes but I thought they never applied those to the original releases. If the Vita version got patched then that would bump it way up the backlog since the first was a great fit for the system.

I think there was a patch to download when I first started the game, but it didn't fix everything--I've had 2-3 crashes at random times and there was one instance where I had to close the game because I triggered an event but my character got stuck walking into a wall.

It definitely feels like a better fit on Vita, though.

 
Anyone else that bought the pinball seasons having trouble downloading them all?

I can't download any of the Vengeance and Virtue tables or Deadpool and Dr. Strange to my PS4...

EDIT:  Well that was weird... I wasn't able to access them from the game or the store on PS4 but was able to force it by sending them to download from the site on my laptop.  I had originally sent both season packs to download from the site but those tables were missing for some reason.

The narrative doesn't flow as easy as the past games due to a choice of how the group is divided, but overall another great game and a fitting conclusion to the Zero Escape series. Once you've finished the game, make sure you look through the files section as some items will offer a bit of clarification on a few story points and there are text epilogues for all the characters. If you get to the end and have completed all the quests and are still missing quest files you probably didn't pick a piece of paper up off the floor. A common one missed (the same one I missed) is a piece of paper on the floor in the pod room.

I bought this the other day and plan on starting it whenever I get around to finishing AC Syndicate. I think you got it from your library, but it's worth $15, right?

I picked up both seasons. When I imported them to my Vita the Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy won't load. I'm going to try to get them to transfer from PS3 to the Vita. It says no content when I tried to purchase it directly from the game.

I was getting the "no content" message too... I was able to force it through when I sent the specific table from the site though so you might try that.

I picked up two copies of Doom (they only had 1 copy for PS4). Traded the XBox One copy to BestBuy.

There is a 20% retailmenot.com coupon. Paid $38.15 for the two games and got back $27.50 in BB credit. Under $11 for me to pick up Doom again.

One thing to note about that coupon is that it's best to open the link in a Private/Incognito window or else you might get a code that won't work when scanned by an employee.
