There were some rather good games in the PS+ line-up: MGS 2/3 HD, VLR, Rayman Origins, Muramasa: Rebirth, Sonic Racing and there are many that can still be a part of the program - for example, Atelier games, EDF, Project Diva (two games, even), they could save us from the the indie hell. At least Grim Fandango is cross-buy.

I've seen Falcom games among Japanese PS+ offerings, but I doubt SCEA will be putting obscure JRPGs in theirs anytime soon. Honestly they'd likely garner less interest than the indies.

Since Persona is taking so long that must mean they're actually designing some dungeons this time, right?

Sorry, you'll need a 3DS for an Atlus game with dungeon design and a "5" in the title.

There are already over a half-dozen cool Atlus games on 3DS, I don't think one more would push you over the edge.

Kind of surprised there's still that many Vita games coming out. Even if they are mostly cross-buy and mostly indies or anime.

Even though Sony's abandoned it, there are still a decent number of games coming out for it in Japan, granted many are PS4/Vita multiplats.

e: Plus there are plenty of past releases to localize. Cyber Sleuth first launched last March, and XSeed might bring over Tokyo Xanadu at some point.

How's Sleeping Dogs Definitive? I really liked it on PS3, but I recall hearing some things about them messing up the PS4 version.

Well, the core of P4 is basically an anime social sim with optional dating and an RPG diversion.

I know it's like a rite if passage to complain about plus freebies but a sports sim seems like a bad choice. Like only a segment of players would even give a drat about it, even if it was a very good game. And that same segment of "carers" probably bought it, mostly.

:confused: Sports games are popular. A quick search says that 2K15 shipped 7 million units.

Nights of Azure is 25bux on Amazon. Was that game any good?

Eh. I haven't played it myself, but from goon impressions it's like the framework for what could be a good game. It's an action game from a dev that mostly makes low-budget crafting games, so it's pretty shallow and has a difficulty curve that that sits at rock bottom before shooting way up at the final boss.

I don't understand what a smart phone cycle is and what exactly are they talking about there. Isn't the Neo just a PS4 that running for 4K Tvs

Smartphone companies come out with new models pretty much every year, but it's a bad comparison since people actually need phones to some extent and buy and pay for them in a different way than consoles, which is a flat $400 for another black slab every time.
