Didn't get Dead Nation even when it was free?

It was a choice of 2 free games out of 5. In NA the choices were InFamous, Wipeout HD, Little Big Planet, Dead Nation and Superstardust HD. I too missed out on Dead Nation, opting for InFamous and Wipeout.
 
I want it just so I have a game to play with my gf. My 2nd controller gets no love.
 
Dead Nation:Apocalypse edition will launch next week in Asia.

EU and U.S details within the next 48 hours.
 
Look great, never played the PS3 version. Reminds me of Hunter:The Reconing.
Imagine it'll include the original's DLC? 1080p/60fps.

I'm only missing the trophy for finding all the Loot.

Must be a really, really well hidden chest somewhere for it to have eluded me all this time.

Might be the one in the 3rd lvl where there's a broken fire escape... the Cache is on the roof.
 
Nice, should keep me busy until Titanfall drops and then Metal Gear and then Infamous.

Next month is going to be crazy good for gaming. :bang:

Looks awesome, will be playing a LOT of this.
I've dug every free PS+ PS4 game released so far. Sony has good taste in games.

I have a feeling that was the last one I got. Took me numerous play-throughs to find it. At the time I remember thinking "this is it", but there must be another I'm missing somewhere.
 
Some details on the game:

Dead Nation features a full campaign mode which can be played solo or in co-op. That is both online co-op and the now somewhat elusive local “coach” co-op.

Exclusively on PS4, Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition features numerous enhancements, making it the best version of the game yet. You can now play in full 1080p HD, with improved textures, rendering and effects, ensuring the game has never looked sharper. We also improved the controls, adding in a quick weapon select, so your favourite zombie decimator is never out of reach.

The ‘Road to Devastation’ expansion is now included in the main game, giving you two extra game modes – Arcade and Endless, allowing you to test yourself against ever increasing odds. And with support for the official PlayStation companion app, all you completionists out there now have a second screen to monitor your game stats as you play.

One of the new features, which you may have spotted in the trailer, is Challenge mode. Every time you finish a single level you can now send your score over to a friend to try and beat. When playing a challenge you can see the avatar of the player who set the challenge, allowing you to race against them or scope out their high-scoring route.

What’s that I hear you say? Your friends are no match for your zombie decapitating skills? Well how about you take on the challenge of any leaderboard entry, for any single level, made by any player.

My favourite new feature is Broadcast+ mode. In this mode you can stream your game to the masses interactively, and your viewers can influence the difficulty of your game. Periodically all your viewers, whether they be on PS4 or a web browser, have the option to vote between a positive and negative effect that occurs in your game. There are a total of 30 different voting effects that can occur, ranging from spawning zombie packs to giving the player ammo, or even disabling the player’s ability to sprint. But don’t worry, as a player you can get your own back, because voters will appear in your game as named zombies for you to exact your revenge on.

Great PS3 game, though the PS4 version seems like an HD remake with some tweaks as opposed to a new DN. Also, it's only 30 fps.

The original game was coded with 30fps in mind and it would have been near impossible to get 60fps for this reason.”

“[1080p/30fps], simply because the original was designed for 30fps. Making it 60fps would have required almost a complete code overhaul.”

“The original engine wasn’t built for 60.”

Not really the type of game that I ever thought "this would be so much better if it was 60 fps". Improved game mechanics, features, dlc, modes, resolution, textures, effects, etc. I would have bought this regardless, pretty awesome it will be "free" for Plus members.

Really wish Microsoft would get on board with this remastering idea. I played through the PS4 version of Flower last night, it looked great from how I remembered it on PS3.

How is Flow? I never played it on PS3. It's on sale now, I considered buying it last night.

I enjoyed it, but the last time I played it was like, seven years ago. Nice relaxing music. Gameplay is similar to Snake.
 
Journey was fantastic, I'd kill for a fancified version of that. I highly recommend the PS4 upgrade of Flower, even if you already played the game. The upgraded graphics and physics made it really pretty to look at.
 
So, apparently the PS4 DN edition is 30 fps. No biggie, I just wonder how the message got screwed up.

That was my thought, too. I had fun playing that in co-op with my stepdaughter. Speaking of which (tangent), I heard an HD update of the original Xbox game, Cel Damage, is coming to PS4. Kind of weird.

Yeah I saw that. PS3 and Vita as well. Not sure who was asking for that. Game was junk.
