"Welcome back" what games are you gonna get?

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/05/16/details-of-the-welcome-back-programme-for-scee-users-2/

Basically just wanted to start a thread seeing if you're happy with this deal and what games you'll be downloading.

I feel that this is actually quite a good free!!!! deal and I'll be definitely downloading Dead Nation but can't decide between Ratchet and Clank and Infamous.


The poll above is for the 2 free PS3 games

tonydude

Have 4 of the 5 , but the psp deal is good. Dead Nation is a brill game by the way with excellent coop. Might take littke big planet ( and trade in my retail ) and ratchet

irish_stevo815

It is a good list of games to choose from.

I am gonna pick Infamous & Dead Nation as I already own the other games. Still tho, not gonna complain with getting 2 quality games for free.

Conor108

Infamous and after a lenghtly gametrailers/youtube analysis I'm thinking Wipeout HD. Dead Nation looks meh, like that arcade game you got free with Black Ops. Bit too old for Ratchet & Clank's demographic. LBP looks like effort.

earlyapex

Having only got a ps3 recently, I have none of these games, but I looked at gameplay vids and cant decide.


LittleBigPlanet - Looks boring, and has really short game time.
Infamous* - Looks the best of the lot but dont like 3rd person games
Wipeout HD/Fury - I remember playing something like this in 1995!
Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty - Looks repetitive and awkward.
Dead Nation* - Get a headache peering into the dark like doom3.

Can any owners help me decide and give me gameplay reasons?
Thanks.

Yellowledbetter

Will certainly go with Wipeout and more than likely Infamous. Dont have any of them so Im happy enough with the deal......just happy to be back online really!!!!

Frank Black

From comments on some of the other thread I’ll be definitely getting Infamous.
A lot of good reports on Wipeout – I had it on the psp a while ago and wasn’t that impressed.
Is it much better on ps3?

No, no it doesn't... considering there are roughly 3 million levels....

You seem to judge games too quickly. I recommend Little Big Planet. One of the best platform games to come out in a long time, only to be surpassed by LBP2.


For me:

Infamous: was gonna get it when it came out but never bothered...
Ratchet and Clank: loved all the other ones, so ill probably love this too!

Maybe you shouldn't have gotten a PS3 then
You don't seem to like any type of game....

Wow.....such a wide variety of genres in these 5 games and you think they are all bad? Well good luck trying to find a game you like........

I own LBP, Wipeout & Ratchet and clank, and can honestly say they are all excellent games.
LBP is far from boring and the game time isnt really that short. It is fun and challenging, plus you have 1000's of user created levels to try. Yes, it is outdone by LBP2, but it is still worth playing if you dont already have it.

Wipeout HD is a remake of the 1995 PS1 game and it is unreal. It looks amazing on a prpoer HD TV. Also, it is the Fury expansion pack you get as well, so youre getting the original Wipeout HD game, plus the Fury add-on.....FREE

Ratchet & clank - it's a cartoony platformer. It is what it is!

steve_

Think ill take infamous and Ratchet and clank.

Think its a smart move for the developers who are allowing their games to be downloaded for free. Allowing potentially millions of users to play their titles will surely increase sales on future games, providing the free download is actually any good of course

DeadParrot

So we all get these?
Is there a timeframe on claiming?
I'm away from my PS3 until Saturday

Glico Man

Owning 3 of those already I'm not left with much choice but to go for Wipeout and Ratchet and Clank... not too disappointed as I didn't expect to get anything out of this.

Plus it's R&C, who could be unhappy with that?

Josey Wales

I have 4 out of the 5 already. The one I don't have is Dead Nation and I'm not too bothered about getting it. If I didn't have the others it would be an amazing deal. LBP, Wipeout HD, Ratchet & Clank and inFAMOUS are all great games.

Wow. So far off the mark. Great story mode plus millions of free user created levels to enjoy.

Not sure if you meant that statement to read as a negative. Wipeout HD is the best racing game on the PS3.

You have 30 days to redeem once the "welcome back" scheme goes live

LuckyFinigan

Had a look at reviews on youtube and that Ratchet and Clank game isnt a full game. Its only a 2 to 3 hour add on for one of the main games. Dosent seem that worth while. Probally get Little big Planet and either Wipeout or Dead Nation.

Retr0gamer

Only one I'm interested in is Wipeout which I already own and love.

Little Big Planet I feel I got everything I wanted out of it from the Beta.

Dead Nation I've no interest in.

Didn't like Ratchet and Clank,the demoseemed really derivative.

Infamous again,I'm burnt out on open world games and what I played was a bit mediocre.

Ratchet and Clank and Infamous then although I won't be surprised if I don't play them.

Really regret not having a PSP account before it went down

steve_

Out of curiosity, is it two titles per consoles or per account? I have two registered accounts on my PS3

Does that include the ps plus offer as well? Would you get different content if you waited til the end of the 30 days?

noodler

From the PS3:

I will take Infamous to see what the fuss is about and probably Dead Nation (I have LBP on disc and never play it whilst I have Wipeout HD - not sure about Fury)

For the PSP:

I will probably take Killzone Liberation and not sure what to take from

- Modnation
- LBP PSP
- Pursuit Force

pablomakaveli

Probably going to pick Ratchet and Clank and either Dead Nation or Wipepout.

I've no interest in LBP (which i had a feeling would be in the list) and already own Infamous.

EGriff

Anyone who has a ps3 and a hdtv and hasn't played wip3out HD on it is seriously missing out. The graphics are the best I've ever seen on a console and the sense of speed once you crank it up a bit is amazing.

Probably get LBP and dead nation myself, have infamous already.

landsleaving

The only ones I don't have are Wipeout and Dead Nation, been wanting both of them for a while so happy days. For PSP the only one I don't have is Modnation, and it's not great if the PS3 version is any indication.

Gunmonkey

Probaly inFamous and Dead Nation, even though I am sick of the whoe "twin-stick shooter" genre as is. Dont really like the Wipeout series, got bored of Ratchet & Clank half way through Tools and if I got LBP would just sit there with no idea what to build.

So 2 free games for the loss of a service I didnt miss.....I wont complain :P

Is the store down for anybody else?,it says it's under maintenance for me

RedXIV

The store won't be back until the end of the month

Kaneda_

I just looked up INfamous on youtube, It looks brill - anyone play/own this gamne already?! I dont know why i dont have this game already.The reviews where nothing but positive either.

MarkY91

can we not downldo 2 on our main acocunt then on other accounts download 2 then another on a 3rd account ?

doubt it but worth the ask..

I think it will be for master account only.
I also have a Japanese and US account, but doubt I'll be able to get anything from those stores, I suspect it will be IP restricted.

Sephiroth_dude

Infamous and deadnation I'd say.

Infamous is a good enough game... the whole aspect of choosing to be good or bad is a bonus. If i didn't already have it i definately would go for it

I was under the assumption that if you set an account saying your over 18 it was a Master account.. And if you are not 18 then it's a sub account?.. I may be wrong here though..

Ste1605

This is great news

HigginsJ

I'll be taking little big planet-always liked the look of it but couldnt justify paying the full retail price. Cant wait to try it now

Infamous as well.

Jerichoholic

It doesn't say anything about master accounts, just anyone with a PSN account before it went down gets the downloads, if you happen to have two accounts then you might be in luck. The 77 million accounts they are talking about are made up of people with multiple accounts.

cabrwab

Dead nation and wipeout for me so, have the others. For those who never got infamous its a great game.

Story is superb.

R and C game is good but very short fills the story between tools and crack in time.

Little big planet is good fun.

Looking forward to it!

hmm not too shure, in that case all 10ish of the accounts are master accounts on my ps3 :P

BrianOFlanagan

Wipeout? Seriously people f##king wipeout? Damn I guess there is an audience for that s##t

RobertFoster

Wipeout was fun on the original PlayStation, why do you think the PS3 version is **** Brian?


I think I'll give Ratchet and Clank and LittleBigPlanet a go. Not interested in dual joystick shooters or racing games, and I already have inFamous.

If you've not played inFamous, it's great fun. It's like a more polished version of Prototype, which came out at around the same time. The sequel is coming out soon, so it might be a worth playing through for the story at least.

byte

I'll go for inFamous anyway. Then, either Wipeout Fury or Dead Nation.

I'll just say that initially I was in the same boat as you. I didn't like the look of LBP so never got it. When I subscribed to PS+ I got it for free and once I started playing it absolutely loved it. You'll be surprised. It's fantastic, and loads of great user made levels. I don't make levels and I loved it.

As for myself I'm gonna go for Infamous, liked the look of it before but never got around to getting it, and Dead Nation, because looking at gameplay online looks like a lot of fun!

ShadowHearth

how can you take them? shop did not worked for me today. or there is some ather way?

Dont be at yourself

Can't recommend Wipeout HD enough, it's a quality game. Excellent graphics, soundtrack and tonnes of content. Good online play too.
