Here is the free game for the PS4 for January:



PS3 gets Devil May Cry 3, Bioshock Infinite, and 2 Brothers

Slow going so far for the PS4.

Now, this is ridiculous for the PS4.

But!

That game is pretty fucking fun.

What exactly are you expecting for the PS4? There aren't any games out to be given away for free because none of the major game company games will be free for a while/if ever. You're not going to see BF4 or CoD free for a long, long time (BF3 was free around 18 months after it came out).

For some time, you're going to get lots of indie titles that are normally $10 in the store as your free game. Give it a year and you'll start to see some big games come through (though the Driveclub PS Plus version will seem big when it comes through around February).

My guess for next month would be either Escape Plan, Doki Doki Universe, or (if we're lucky) Trine 2. Driveclub has a rumored release date of 2/28 so you may get lucky and get two games next month, or you may get Driveclub in March.

Nobody said we were expecting anything. Just keeping everyone updated. Sheesh

Trendon clearly felt slighted.

I figured BF4 would be free by now.

Me? You were the one with the long-winded rant. I just said the game is really good.

Devils > Rangers

Devils are 2 points ahead with 1 more game played and fewer wins. They're the same teams this year.

And you said "Now, this is ridiculous for the PS4." Sounded like you wanted more.

The game could run on a PS3 is what I meant, said poorly.

Big announcement today about Sony is set to release a cloud based gaming service:

Today at CES, Sony revealed PlayStation Now, an all-new games streaming service that will allow "classic" PlayStation games to be played across current-gen PlayStation hardware, as well as directly on other non-gaming platforms. PlayStation Now harnesses the power of Gaikai, the company Sony purchased for $380 million back in the summer of 2012.

The idea behind PlayStation Now is simple: you will ultimately no longer need to keep a PSone, PlayStation 2, or PlayStation 3 around to experience games from those consoles. PlayStation Now will allow streaming of classics from those systems to not only PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, but to televisions, tablets, and smartphones.

Great article on it:

Some will probably love it.

I have a PS4, so personally I have no use for PS1/PS2/PS3 games.

Then again, I paid for PS+ and for some reason haven't had it for a few weeks now, so what do I know.

It is a cool feature, but I am with you shel.
I have an old fatboy 60GB PS3 that is backwards compatible and I don't think I ever popped in a PS2 game.

It is cool to be able to stream the games to tablets, smartphones, etc. though.

How do you download from the PSN network online to turn your PS4 on off standby to download and then go back into standby?

I was messing around with it as I have been leaving in standby mode. Went to the PSN online site, downloaded a game, says downloading on the website but I never heard the PS4 turn on to start the download.

Does it do it while its standing by and the yellow light is still on?

I have done it through the app on my phone, but the system never actually turns on....I believe it stays with the orangish light and does it in the background.

[Cnasty]

Ah, ok.

Good to know. I thought it turned on to do the updates and downloads and then went back into standby mode.

Pshaw, that's PS3 BS...

Here is the free game for the PS4 for January:

Played this a little last night and I regret that I did.

You just walk around and chop down trees, make fires, eat food, lather rinse repeat.

I am sure there is more but it didnt keep my interest enough to want to find out.
