IGN - Examining the PlayStation "Welcome Back" Program

IGN - I wasn't impressed with Sony's original roll out of the Welcome Back program any more than I was impressed with its PR handling of the outage. But now that the details have been solidified, I'm sold. I own all of the PSN games being given away, but I'm also not deluded enough to think that everyone does, and knowing that those are some great games being offered up to the masses makes me happy. If you haven't played the greats like Infamous and LittleBigPlanet, now's the time.

This is a great deal for me, From the 5 given choices i only own, LBP & inFamous. will definitely download, Dead nation & Wipeout HD.

@Dante112 -- I did what no one in there right mind should ever do on N4G, "I Shared My Honest Opinion, A Couple Of Times". =]

"I did what no one in there right mind should ever do on N4G, "I Shared My Honest Opinion, A Couple Of Times"

LOL, so true. Btw, whats even more insane about this deal is that Sony won't lock it to one console. I say that theres a 95% chance that we'll be able to get ALL 5 games for free due to multiple accounts.

saladthieves4754d ago

I don't know what people were bitching about. I looked at the program. I already own every game on the list, including the PSP versions but you have to think about the fact that there are others who don't have all of those games and would gladly take them for free.

Sony is giving people here an opportunity of getting good games for free, (literally millions of copies) and it's surprising to see people bitch about this in agony. These games will be available for 30 days and then can be kept forever. FOREVER! Let's take this into consideration:

LittleBigPlanet has so much replay value, there are thousands of levels for you to play through, and more are created every day. You have access to the PSN for free to download all this stuff. The same goes for ModNation Racers. Isn't that ALOT of valued content they are giving you access to as compensation? Yet people complain that they already own the games on the list.

*Sigh*

@egidem

Yes its free and thats all well and good. However the problem is that the more loyal a PSN user you are/were the less recompense there is from this "apology"

I can only speek for myself but i feel like they care not for me, as someone that has invested exclusively in Playstation regarding multiplat games.

*sigh*

badz1494754d ago

The thing is, I'm still pissed off that people are already discussing about the free stuff while I'm here still can't even get onto PSN. Still is down in Malaysia although already updated to 3.61!! When the hell will I ever be able to go online, Sony?

Dante1124754d ago (Edited 4754d ago )

Same here. Free 30 day PS+ (Infamous 2 beta) free weekend worth of rentals from the video store, 2 games each for the PS3, PSP, 100 free Home items as well as the year of Idenity theft protect. I'm good with this.

Edit: Dang, Mezzo. I could've sworn you had like 4 bubbles. What happened?

Edit2: Infamous, Dead Nation for me.

Mozilla894754d ago

So considering I'm a PS+ subscriber and a PSP owner I'm stoked. I get 4 free retail games AND a 60 extension to my PS+ subscription in addition to the free month I already got when I signed up!

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5097d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905096d ago (Edited 5096d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5097d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5097d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495096d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5096d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5096d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
