PS Plus users who are in the Middle East might be able to enjoy a better game in place of Heavy Rain because it is not available on their official PlayStation Store.

Nex Machina is outstanding. Every PS4 owner should play it. One of my fave games on the system.

SilverDemon2144d ago

Good.
We just got byond 2 souls and I believe they shouldn't have given us heavy rain so soon.
For someone who doesn't like these type of games, I believe they should diversify the ps plus games more.
Sticking to one genre for long is would turn off the people who don't like it.

I like ps plus to be diverse and unpredictable.

Yi-Long2144d ago

Perhaps the reason for Heavy Rain being a PS+ title this soon after B2S, is because those who claimed B2S in their PSPlus, were then unable to purchase Heavy Rain separately from the store.

B2S was the lesser of the two, so I'm happy we're now getting Heavy Rain, although with my current backlog I doubt I'll play it any time soon.

SilverDemon2144d ago

What?? Why couldn't they buy it??

Also, my point is: they shouldn't give us games from the same genre so soon. They should diversify the line up more.

Sticking to one genre is not why people are choosing PS4.
PlayStation was always the place of diversity in gaming. They should show that in ps plus too.

Yi-Long2144d ago

@Silver; I agree with that notion, but like I said, in this case perhaps they chose to rush Heavy Rain into the PS+ because of that issue in the Store, where people who had claimed Beyond 2 Souls couldn't buy the game (HR) separately.

Glad you think like this. When for like 4 or 5 months straight last year they kept giving telltale games and similar titles. I seen alot of praise, but I hate those type of games so for months they gave me a bunch of a genre I don't care at all for smh

SilverDemon2144d ago

THANK GOD I'm not the only one who saw that as an issue

paintedgamer19842144d ago (Edited 2144d ago )

Im very dissapointed with this months ps+... but the way i see it, id take MONTHS of garbage ass games... erm i mean games im not interested in, if it meant we got them out of the way and actually got good games here on out. Or shit... give gamers the option to pay more... to pick their two ps4 free ps+ games every month... id gladly pay 80$ for that.

Exvalos2143d ago

That wouldn't work, because Sony still has toboay for those games, and it would be a bit of a waste if idk 1 million choose 1 game, and only 20k picked another for example.

jznrpg2144d ago

It changes every month so not a long wait. Also Heavy Rain is better than Beyond IMO

Heavy Rain is fantastic. But guess the alternative isn't bad. Not played it myself by it's scoring good across the board.

I wish I could change the heavy rain to the nex machina.

I plan to snag Stardust VR soon. It is on PSN sale for cheap.

FTLmaster1123d ago

Do it! It’s a seriously addictive experience. Housemarque is the master of modern arcade classic gameplay. Curious to see how Returnal turns out tbh.

Knushwood Butt1123d ago

Thanks. Downloaded it and will be playing it shortly.

Pre-ordered Returnal too.

P_Bomb1123d ago

Loved Alienation. Good co-op!

Knushwood Butt1123d ago (Edited 1123d ago )

Yep, had a lot of fun playing it with my kids. Although they always fight over the drops.

ArchangelMike1120d ago

Dead Nation is a classic, Definately one of their best games.

Please stop comparing video games to movies

"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.

I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.

Yes, please stop. They're better than most hollywood drivel nowadays.

BLAKHOODe1275d ago

I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.

sourOG1275d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman1274d ago (Edited 1274d ago )

No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
