March PS+ Games: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and The Witness
- Thread starter Agram
- Start date
They really needed to wow us with this month's selection to make up for the removal of PS3 and Vita games... and this are their offerings?, pathetic. They really need to make their decision to axe PS3/Vita games seem worth it with bigger, newer and better PS4 games. Super dissapointed, no wonder they switched off the coments section on the PS blog.
Having a co-pilot to bounce of off is actually a great way to play this one. Certain types of puzzles might come easier to one of you.
Oh wow! I don't know if I'll have enough space for that. I hope you can just download the multiplayer and skip the campaign.
It is a pretty well-documented trend that the market leader of any console generation tends to become a bit consumer-unfriedly after a massive success, because they feel like they don't have to do certain things that their competitors are doing since they're in the lead. It happened to Sony after the Playstation 2, and it happened to Microsoft after the 360, which is why Microsoft is doing anything they can right now to regain consumer trust and goodwill, even if it doesn't make a profit for them (backwards compatibility, for instance). Sony doesn't need to that (or so they think) because they're so massively successful and in the lead by a large margin, hence the term "arrogant Sony".
looks like a good month for me, maybe i will resub.
i wouldnt worry about the game count, they will add more once next gen comes, which shouldnt be too far away now. in addition from looking at sony's position hirings they are really focused on enhancing PSN, PSPlus and PSNow, so i think we will also see signifcant improvements in their services in the coming months.

Unfortunately not, you can make it download the MP first though.
That's too bad. I guess upgrading the HDD is really the way to go here. Thanks.
Yeah made no difference, even tried sitting playing from another room through open doors about 8m away from the tv
Lasted about a minute before nausea
There's a campaign in call of duty right? Haven't played a call of duty game in ages, would be fun to try one. Already have the witness, great game. Good month.
CoD is so not my type of game, but I might try The Witness. Had half forgotten it existed, so nice to see it pop up on ps+.
Lets put this in another context.
A person pays $5 a month for 6 pieces of fruit. They never eat 4 of them because they don't like that kind anymore. The store sees that these other four fruits are not really being eaten much anymore. They change what they are giving you and now they give you two that are the type most people eat. The fruit might actually be of better quality than before. It is unbelievable that this person is not happy still?
Now, what if they also knew (and arguing this is not almost guaranteed is silly) that in the future the store was getting an even better kind of fruit and would be adding that to your order without changing the price. So for the same cost, they would now get two fruit they liked and two fruit that were even better. Still unbelievable?
Yes the store still has some customers who ate 4 or even 6 pieces of fruit, and they could be justifiably unhappy, but this is many fewer people than those who just ate 2. It would be hard to believe that this smaller segment of customers would be as happy. Some of them might like having two better pieces of fruit that they prefer instead of the 4 pieces they were kind of done with eating as it is.
Value is relative. Unless you only look at situations like a 2-year old who bases happiness simply on quantity, it shouldn't be difficult to imagine how this change might not matter that much to most people.
Now quantify what you get for your money.
Plus is the cost of a new retail game for 1 year (even less if you buy it when it is on sale one of many times)
24 games, some that retailed originally for the cost of 1 year of plus, some that you might really enjoy that you wouldn't have tried otherwise.
Discounts on tons of other games and content
1 GB of game save backup
Share Play
Online-multiplayer
You can say online play is not of any value because PC has it free. You can never use Share Play and say it has no value. If you can't find at least the value of the yearly cost with those 24 games and sale prices, I don't know what to tell you. No paid service will be great for 100% of the user base, but Plus seems like a good value for the majority of the PlayStation owners.
What, no? Its a subscription that gave 6 games for people to discover new things as well as give new life to older games. Your fruit analogy doesn't make sense at all, you're comparing apples and oranges.
First Tuesday of the month as always. So this month they will be available March 5th...
They announce them the Wednesday before the 1st Tuesday of the month. So this was 2 days ago.
Do you not get EDF4.1 like Japan does? Arguably a better game.
Has anyone mused about how existing copies will work? I know generally going from disc -> digital you need to uninstall and redownload but...
If I have the copy of MW:R that came with IW, which uses the IW disc as a check, am I going to have to uninstall and redownload, or will the license transfer and my digital download will just work now?

Japan got an EDF game and we got two goddamn first person games? Kill me now.
Calling the Witness just a first person game is a bit reductive.
Been playing The Witness on tablet recently and the controls are dogshite. Very nearly jumped on the PS4 version for £35 or whatever, so I'm very happy with this month.
Well, it's not a shooter, but it is still a first person game.
I would trade it for an EDF game in an instant.
Yup, me too. Last time I played it was on 360.
I actually don't mind them launching on tuesday, what I want sony to add is the ability to pre-load the PS+ games. MW remastered is like 60GB.
Right now I'm seeing no evidence that backs up the quality over quantity argument, because the quality was already there
PS4-wise, the last two months have been just as good, if not better than March's offerings, and going by this rundown of Plus in 2018, I'd say at least 7 of the 12 months were just as good as now.
