PlayStation News: PS Plus Free Games, PS3 and Vita Gets Lone Survivor, and Defiance for PS3
PlayStation is in the groove for some free games, a first in Defiance's lineup of final beta versions, and a release for the Lone Survivor.
Catch 2 titles going and 3 titles coming in Instant Game Collection
Games will be leaving and gracing the Instant Collection starting next week as Foosball 2012 and Dungeon Defenders take its leave on March 19. According to PlayStationLifestyle, this will mean a freebie for each system, both PS3 and Vita.
The titles will be replaced, however, with The Cave for PS3 and Tekken 6 and Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention, both on Vita.
March will bring a total of five free games to the Instant Game Collection, with the other two being the shooter game Spec Ops: The Line as well as Joe Danger 2: The Movie, reports Just Push Start.
Lone Survivor: A version for PSN and a soundtrack
After its launch on the PC and Mac last year, Lone Survivor is coming to the PS3 and the Vita this summer, bringing with it a new ending, support for Trophies, Cross Play, and Cross Buy, as well as new NPC dialogues.
Joystiq adds that the developers are still incorporating improvements for touch control for inventory management and enhanced, smoother gameplay for the PlayStation version.
"I wanted to try and make a role-playing game with meaningful choices," said Lone Survivor developer Jasper Byrne in a statement to Joystiq. "It's an experiment in making every insignificant fact in the game having an invisible, or murkily visible effect on your outcome, however small."
Forbes reports that a Lone Survivor soundtrack is also available through Bandcamp, and features 18 tracks of varying moods, styles, and genres, based on the game.
PS3 first: Defiance beta begins March 19
As the release date of Defiance draws nearer, the final beta of this online shooter game has also been announced.
According to Polygon, PS3 players will get first dibs, as the final beta for PS3 is scheduled on March 19. PC Players can expect availability by March 22, and Xbox 360 can have theirs on March 25.
Exclusive in-game red Dodge Challenger is also up for grabs for those who will be participating in Dodge time trial challenge, reports Mp1st.
Defiance is slated for release for the PS3, PC, and Xbox 360 on April 2. Pre-orders can get instant invites to the final beta.
