The Drop: New PlayStation Releases for December 3rd, 2013
The Drop

Car lovers, rejoice. This week marks the launch of Gran Turismo 6, the latest entry in the legendary racing series that has spanned three generations of PlayStation hardware.

Gran Turismo 6, which hits PS3 this Friday, is one of the most realistic racing simulators available in gaming. Developed by the passionate minds at Polyphony Digital, Gran Turismo 6 features 1,200 beautifully modeled cars to drive across more than 100 circuit layouts. Kazunori Yamauchi and his team, ever focused on detail, have brought along a new physics engine with fully active suspension, tire, and aerodynamics models.

Those of you interested in true-to-life racing needn’t look further than Gran Turismo 6. But if you’re hungry to enhance your PS4 library this week, the co-op puzzle game Tiny Brains launches on Tuesday. Coming along with it is a familiar hit in the form of Escape Plan– fully optimized for play on PS4. The PS4 version of Flow has been rescheduled for a later date.

We hope you enjoy this week’s additions to the PlayStation family! For a complete list of new releases, head below, and enjoy the Drop.

  • definitely getting Rainbow Moon on Vita!

  • No Terraria for psvita :(

  • Stick it to the man! looks pretty neat, however I’d like to know if the PS2 classics section is still undergoing, because I’d love to play titles like Rogue Galaxy and Wild Arms 3!

  • I’d rather want you to get your homework done and fix your stuff already!!!! Redeem codes still don’t work!!!

  • Where’s Terraria? Does sony have a release date for it yet? or just a tentative date would be really appreciated… I was so looking forward on getting Terraria… This is kinda sad now.

  • I know this has been asked a ton of times already but… Will Terraria be available for the Vita this week?

  • @ Ryan Clements A full day late on posting this and zero replies. Good job! You are fitting in well with the rest of the Playstation Blog team. Also, where is Terraria Vita?!

  • I am disappointed. If you thought that you could just give Vita users plain VR missions without MGS story mode and consider things are fine, THINK AGAIN!

  • WHERE IS MY WARTHUNDER!?

  • Escape Plan… wish it was for ps3 also and not just ps4.

  • Can’t wait to pick up my pre-order of Gran Turismo 6 this Friday!

    @rabidninjamonky I see 8 replies. I think you’re just a blind bat.

  • @61 Check the time stamps. All those replies are after my comment and completely pointless. He dodged all the important questions just like the rest of the incredibly lazy blog team.

  • @rabidninjamonky I noticed the time just now. It seems the time the comments are posted are an hour earlier where I am. Sorry, my bad. But hey, at least Ryan actually comments on the blog even if the replies are useless. Unlike Rey, he’s the one who never replies to the comments and should be referred as lazy like you said. Be glad that Ryan does a better job and I hope he continues doing “The Drop” in the future.

  • Hey Ryan, What’s the file size for GT6? Just wondering if I will need to go on a delete spree.. lol Thx

  • Don’t mean to be rude, so I mean this in a productively nice way. It may help to affirm that you don’t know, are looking into, or that the date isn’t yet confirmed or something, rather than avoiding questions, when a very large chunk of them concern Terraria, in this case.

    In comparison, the European blog responses from the staff tend to be more honest, even if it isn’t what we want to hear, or they don’t have any information pertaining to it. They hint at, when someone asks, if something is going to be on sale soon for instance. That is actually way above the honesty I’m speaking of here. It would just be better if the questions were addressed, if they cannot be fully answered. At least a simple, we’ll get back to ya, and then you actually do get back to us would do. It would help out somewhat with the repeated questions.

  • -Maybe you guys could find some way for your posts that people type up, if there has been a reply pertaining to a similar question, just using keywords such as [Game title] or [Developer/Publisher], that the page would recommend checking out the response before replying. Cause I’m sure answering the same question about Flow being rescheduled for a later date can get a little annoying after a while.

    (Please don’t ignore my comments on Terraria and just comment on this suggestion. I’d prefer a “We Don’t Know” to silence on the matter.)

  • Any word on Pinball Arcade? Farsight Studios doesn’t talk much and I’ve been wanting to play this game on PS4 since launch.

  • Does Magic 2014 2nd deckpack is coming tomorrow?

  • I didn’t mean to be rude with my last couple comments, I’m just getting so frustrated with the secrecy around Terraria vita. It’s ridiculous! It was announced for summer, and basically hasn’t been mentioned since. I’ve asked about it on the blogcast and drop posts for months, and never got an answer. I finally gave up on it ever coming to vita, and bought the PS3 version 2 weeks ago or so. The very next day I got a message in my inbox saying that the vita version FINALLY had a release date. Now, instead of releasing the vita version, we are getting a 75% discount on the PS3 version. I find it kind of insulting. The way 505 games has treated vita owners, they better be adding some new content. Hopefully they add all the new 1.2 content.

  • No terraria???

  • Here’s hoping you guys can talk to SE to bring Valkyrie Profile as a PS Classic and Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria as PS2 classic. I really want to play those games again >.<. I'm on my knees here

  • Ryan, quit dodging the Terraria question! Tell us what you know man! By the way I like your little sayings that you post in the comments every time :D

  • Valkyrie Profile as a PS Classic and Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria as PS2 classic (+1)

  • Wow, hard to believe GT6 will be in our hands already. Can’t wait to head to Gamestop this Friday in my new Subaru Forester to pick up my Anniversary copy. Now if only a Forester XT turbo was in the game………….

  • Anyone else think its B.S. the way sony and this dude posting this blog are treatin us, the consumer the whole reason they exist..This is what imtalking about: Several post on here have asked about Terraria and other games as well, But thi guy here just gives the same tired answer about flow. I mean come on man you didnt eve acknowledge that they even asked. Talk about poor customer care. I mea seriously ifu dont have an answer or dont knw or cant divulge that information then say that but dont just completely igore the question. Im sorry but thats a D))bag move. Personally I love sony’s products i own all consoles and handhelds that exit and im a plus member since the beginning,getting ps4 for xmas, but youguys seriously need to work on customer care…

  • If you already have Escape Plan for the Vita will the PS4 version just be a free download?

  • *Sigh* more stupid kiddy ps4 games…. Wasted my damn money on a puzzle game machine.

  • Is there a full list of the PS One classics?

  • @ 74

    Hopefully they will add it, there are 1,200 cars on disc so.. who knows. I would love to see it as well.

  • came here for terraria

    very disapointe now :(

  • HELLO?

    TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA TERRARIA

    Where is it?
    Can you answer?

  • @kemospear: That sucks.

    I took the same survey. IIRC there were age categories, or was your survey different? Also, did the survey tell you directly that you were ineligible because of your age? Or did it just glitch after the age question?

    Anyway that’s very unfortunate. The last thing Sony needs is to alienate the people who built this place. I’m talking about the folks who are now 40+; they were 20-something in the 90s when Sony first dipped their toes in the gaming market. Let’s not forget them now.

    BTW in the survey they did hint at possibly making the basic Music Unlimited service free to Plus.

    @DarthTedd: Just Google it. There are some very thorough lists on Wikipedia and elsewhere.

  • “when/will PS1 classics be playable on PS4?” Seriously?!?!?!?
    WHO CARES?
    You can currently play PS1 games on the ps1, ps2, ps3, Ps Vita. Why don’t you play some PS4 games on your PS4.

  • I posted earlier about Terraria, hoping to get a reply explaining why it’s not up, when it was supposed to be. Apparently the date was EU only, but no one bothered to tell us. Here’s hoping the game is still coming tomorrow, but i severely doubt it if the publisher and editors at the PS Blog have nothing to say about it. I feel like this game is starting to get ignored, even by it’s own publisher! Really looking forward to this game, but it’s hard to support a game when the publisher is too lazy to give out any details about the game. I would love to pay right now and have access to it, but we are left in the dark, waiting for something to happen.

  • @rabidninjamonky It’s cool. I understand your frustration, but I’m guessing by your post it’s mostly about Terraria. You do realize these drops are never accurate, you know that? One time they missed Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate on the drop, but was still released on that weekly update. So Terraria will do the same unless a source says it was delayed otherwise.

    @TxTechAirRaid If that’s how you use your PS4, then you’re the stupid one and completely using it wrong. It’s your own fault you wasted money, moron.

  • @Gamerzlimited im starting to hear the Terraria date was EU only, but i can’t be sure if the sources are reliable or not. I really hope the game was just missed on The Drop. It’s a highly underrated game and was missed on other game sites when the console version came out, so i hope it’s just an error on The Drop

  • @Aadrianseth Me too, it’s mostly the niche stuff that usually doesn’t get covered or gets missed easily. For example, TMNT: Out of the Shadows had a reason to not show up a drop because it got delayed. It was due to that the game can be polished more and address issues of the Xbox and PC versions since those got very bad reviews. The main Facebook page was where I got that information, so I know that is definitely a reliable source. If the news spreads to other sites, then it’s legit. If it’s just only one site, then it’s mostly fake. Anyway, I do hope Terraria does come out tomorrow. It would be a nice game to play on my brand new Vita.

  • I do hope that you’ll release more rpg psone classics like grandia II/III
    even put the lunar series and the tales of series on there! :)

  • I AM TRYING TO BUY BIOSHOCK INFINITE WICH IS STILL PRICED 13.99 BUT WHEN I GO CHECKOUT THE PRICE IS CHANGED TO 39.99? IT IS STILL 1024 PM EST AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PS IS NOT RESPECTING THE SALE PRICES?

  • really quick couple of questions, please actually try to answer them: what are the current or ongoing plans for games like blade and soul, core blaze, war hawk, etc. being developed and/or ported to the ps4 system, and when can we expect these things to be done. as far as late game releases, such as minecraft and the likes of games that should be available on the ps4, when are we supposed to expect them to be released?

  • I AM TRYING TO BUY BIOSHOCK INFINITE WICH IS STILL PRICED 13.99 BUT WHEN I GO CHECKOUT THE PRICE IS CHANGED TO 39.99? IT IS STILL 1024 PM EST AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PS IS NOT RESPECTING THE SALE PRICES?

  • So no destiny of spirits? It was due to be released dec 3… I’ve been waiting since the beta :( any new info?

  • @lupito272
    I’m fairly confident that was only for the black friday sale. Calling customer support might get you an answer faster than posting a comment on an unrelated blog post in all caps.

  • thanks digiops.. I will follow your advise, however the price is still there at 13.99 but thanks

  • I think Drop It Like It’s Hot would be the perfect background music to play to hot potato.

  • GT 6 is the only thing in the gaming world that matters anymore.

  • its probably to late for a reply but do you know if the map pack for bf4 will be dropping tuesday as well on ps4 and ps4? i have premium so i should be able to get it tuesday but i dont know if they are delaying it because of all the issues

  • Is Rainbow Moon a cross-buy? If I already have it for PS3 can I download it for my Vita, too?

  • Any word on when TMNT: Out of the Shadows will be released for the PS3.

  • Will GT6 pre order DLC (Gamestop’s 25 Anniversary Cars) be released on the PSN to buy at a later date or will this be only available as a preorder? I wont be able to buy on release but will be able to a few weeks after, but I would have missed out on the DLC. I guess what I’m asking is: IS this hardcore ONE TIME ONLY PRE ORDER DLC FOR GT6?
