Before we begin, we have a question for you. While Wednesdays are the main day of the week for the release of digital content on the Playstation Store, some retail releases are not released in these regions until Thursday or Friday. The result so far has been that we get a roundup where we have games with partial details, store links that don't work until a couple of days after publication, and even the surprise Friday appearance of some content that hadn't been previously announced. So, we're looking for an opinion from you as we see two options from now on:
a) We carry on as we have been doing. All of Friday's releases are put into the Wednesday roundup with partial details. Surprise content is included in the following week's roundup.
b) Wednesday's roundup only includes the content that is available on Wednesday. We introduce a new roundup for Friday that includes all of the later releases complete with full details.
If option (b) is the preferred option, any changes will not be implemented until next week.
Now, on to the content roundup itself. There isn't much in the way of new titles this week. The Playstation 4 highlight is The Witcher 3, although both PS4 and PS3 players can go for the more sedate Farming Simulator 15 if CD Projekt's RPG sounds too strenuous. Alternatively, you can strain your eyes while looking at the screen in the latest hidden object title for PS3. Vita players get virtually nothing this week. There is trophy bearing DLC from Life Is Strange and plenty of DLC without trophies.
