If you have to buy one at full price, don't forget that this weekend the PSN store is having another "Spend $100/Get $15 Back" deal. Not terrible if you combine it with a sale game or two.

Just FYI : This game will be a Triple Cross-Buy with free Vita and PS3 versions when they're eventually released.

I still can't bring myself to re-buy Tomb Raider. It may also end up being a PS+ freebie if I wait long enough. And I already beat it the first time around on the 360.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
The regular version for PS3 was actually a PS+ freebie back in March. The Definitive Edition for PS4 was released two months earlier. Hopefully, the PS4 version ends up as a PS+ freebie next year.

I forgot that the original version was already a freebie. That tells me the definitive edition will almost certainly be a freebie later.

I am a bit confused with the download size of Injustice. When I went to download it, it said the size was 22GB. However, the file size I downloaded was around 6 GB. Did I get the full game?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
Injustice is pretty cool, even if I've been over fighting games for 15 years. I'll take any chance to play as Batman, and it's cool to see the different costumes.
In case any of you are fighting game (or crazy anime) fans, the Guilty Gear Xrd ("exard") is available as a demo in the store. It's yet another PS exclusive that doesn't count.

Yeah, Injustice did a good job retooling the Mortal Kombat engine to tell its story. It isn't nearly as good of a game as MK but it's decent, especially for free.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
I saw this game preview and am pretty intrigued by it. Think Fez, but with an extra dimension added:
Miegakure: Exploring a 4D World on PS4
+ Posted by Marc ten Bosch on Dec 04, 2014 // President, mtb design works, Inc.
Miegakure is a 4D game. It lets players explore a detailed 4D world and use their ability to move in 4D to perform miraculous feats. In this game, the fourth dimension is not time! It is an actual fourth dimension of space, that works just like the first three dimensions we are familiar with. If you count time, this game is 5D!
<iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uWsBnVtl8tA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
For a while games used to be 2D, taking place solely along two directions. For example, a game character could only move forwards and backwards, or jump up and down. Then came computers powerful enough to render 3D graphics, which allowed for full 3D movement: up / down, backwards / forwards and left / right. (Of course, the graphics we see, while they are computed in 3D, are displayed on a 2D screen. They are projected down from 3D to 2D, in a way that mimics how our eyes perceive the third dimension.)
But it doesn’t stop there. If in a 2D game every object’s position is represented in the computer using two numbers, and if in a 3D game every object’s position is represented using three numbers, what if each position was represented using four numbers? In other words, what if there was another direction you could move along in addition to the first three? Trying to answer this question is what that led us to develop this game.
As far as we know, our universe has exactly three spatial dimensions — so it’s very difficult for us to picture what a four-dimensional world would look like. But a computer (or a PS4, as the case may be), on the other hand, does not care; it’s just working with numbers as usual (it’s just slightly more numbers in this case!). So we had to come up with a way to display this calculated 4D world so that our three-dimensional brains could comprehend it.
<iframe width="640" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XfiFBsKi7go?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The way we chose is a method that has been popularized in the novella Flatland. This novella talks about a 2D square that can only see a 2D cross section of a 3D world. For the square, the third dimension is invisible and mysterious; the square has no concept of it because it is stuck seeing a 2D world. If a 3D object visits the 2D plane it appears to be deforming, in a way that looks like an M.R.I. scan (of a brain, for example). In an M.R.I. what we see while moving the slice through the object appears to be deforming, but we know that we are just taking a different cross-section of the same 3D object.
In Miegakure, a similar thing happens, but in one higher dimension: instead of taking a 2D slice of a 3D object, we are taking a 3D slice of 4D objects. It’s hard to imagine, but luckily we don’t have to — computers can display it for us! If you take a look at the trailer above you can see examples of what these “deformations” look like as we move and turn the 3D slice around within the 4D world. We are excited to bring the game to PlayStation 4, because we think its great computing power will help us deliver a truly innovative, visually stunning game.
The gameplay focuses on exploring a 4D world and the consequences of being able to move in 4D. For example, for a 2D being, houses only need four walls (think of a drawing of a square on a piece of paper). If the doors are locked, there is no way to enter the house. But us 3D beings can see inside the house by just looking at it from above, and we can reach in and grab whatever is inside and move it outside the house, without opening any doors, to the bemusement of the poor 2D beings!
Similarly, a 4D being can perform miraculous feats such as remove objects from a locked safe without opening it, bind together two rings without breaking them, or spy on 3D beings without them knowing. We have carefully designed each level in Miegakure to be about performing one of these feats, letting players become a sort of super hero from the actual fourth dimension.
Miegakure is still very much a work in progress, but we hope to release the game next year. In the meantime, you can play a demo of the game at the PlayStation Experience event on December 6th and 7th.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
I'm having an odd issue. I had the physical version of Injustice, but I traded it a few months ago. When I go to download the PS+ it says software is already downloading. So, I checked my downloads. I had an update file in there, so I deleted it.
But, I still can't download the game. Anyone have any ideas?

Hmmm. When you sign into the store and click the link here, what does it say below the price of the game : Add To Cart or Download to your PS4 ?
