For the developer's family members who never received a free copy, The Tomorrow Children (PS4) is now free (at least as soon as the PSN Store updates):

After watching this, I can safely say there are still over 100 free Plus games in my backlog I would be better off playing than this "watching paint dry" sim.
Picked up a Playstation VR yesterday. Tried it out before it went back into a box for the kid's Christmas.
Must say, I am very impressed with it.
They had "The Playroom VR" for free in the playstation store, so played that. It was very good. My youngest son will love it. You are immersed 360 into this game. I happened to look down to look at my controller when I was at a cliff, and saw one of the robots you have to find down below.
Also, several games, the camera tracks the controller, and will show it to you in the camera view, where the controller (dualshock 4) is, and how it's oriented. Plus they will even label the buttons. Really usefull if your someone that needs to look at their controller from time to time. Didn't get a chance to try one of the Move games.
The included demo disc has several games on it (about 20+), and I tried a racing game. Was pretty good, though if I bought it, I'd definitely have to get a racing wheel for it.
I do recommend having a chair that swivels, as I found myself having to turn for the playroom game, as there was stuff directly behind you.
Found that Hulu is VR enabled, so tried that. It basically puts you into a nice living room, where you watch the show on a really big screen tv. Not sure if I'll ever use that, but was interesting.
Some of the 360 shows are nice. Watched a 5 min. one called "Invasion", was really impressive.

Sony has revealed what games will be optimized for the PS4 Pro.

I'm kind of surprised games like Killzone, Until Dawn, The Order 1886, and The Nathan Drake Collection aren't on that list. I realize that those games are older and/or not super popular but it seems like they would have gotten more of their first party games on board especially since they went back for Knack, The Last of Us, and Infamous.
Edit: I also see people in the comments asking for Bloodborne. This one would have made sense since people have complained about framerate dips at times in that game on the standard PS4.
Well keep in mind this is the LAUNCH list. Doesn't mean this is the final one. Those games you listed may not be considered as high a priority, or would take a lot more work than the other ones.
Call Of Duty Jackal Assault VR Experience is available for free on PSN

Final Fantasy XV is aiming for 60 FPS on the PS4 Pro at 1080p.
The fact that it doesn't have 60 on the standard model is a little disheartening..

The Last of Us got a patch to enable higher resolutions to work with the PS4 Pro. The results are very mixed, especially if you desire 60 FPS performance.
Reminds me of something that happened several years ago playing LittleBigPlanet 2 with my girlfriend at the time and her 8-year-old daughter. Literally five minutes after they had left, I went back into the last level we had played to grab a collectible I knew we had missed (it was a level that shipped with the game, not a user-made one). At some point when the level was loading or after it launched, in the area where people can post comments and in-game pictures taken in that level, which automatically pops up, someone had managed to post several very explicit images from what appeared to be an Asian porn magazine. And for the life of me I could find no mechanism within the game to report it. (You can report inappropriate content in levels people create, but that's it.) Thankfully, the timing worked out that my very anti-porn girlfriend and her young child missed seeing it, but it was too close for comfort.
A couple of notes on this..
First off, PSN overturned the suspension of the user who first made this public.
Secondly, Ubisoft has pledged to remove this from the game.
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/watch-dogs-2s-explicit-genitalia-will-be-removed-u/1100-6445458/
Thirdly, video game reviewer/commentator Laura Dale brought up an interesting point:
I mean, Watch Dogs 2 is an M/PEGI 18 Rated game, meaning people under 17/18 should not play it. If we're going to assume that that's the target audience, meaning the target audience is a "Mature" group of people, then why is 1 set of genitalia fine but another isn't? I guess the same thing is true for R rated movies (When I saw People Vs Larry Flynt they blurred out that area) but I'm just curious why this distinction exists.

It's the same double standard for TV-MA shows. They can show R-rated levels of violence and gore, but no full-frontal nudity (boobs) and no F-bombs. Meanwhile, some European countries show nudity during TV commercials (at least they did many years ago when I lived in France).

December's free PSN games for PS4 have been announced.
Well, all I'll say is that while the games have very positive ratings on Steam, the video linked above has a Like/Dislike ratio akin to that of the recent Ghostbusters reboot.

The only game in that list I have even heard of is Invisible Inc. I grabbed that game in a Steam sale after hearing a few of the Giant Bomb guys push for it pretty hard in their game of the year discussion podcasts last year but I haven't tried it for myself yet.
So I guess there's no way to just cancel my PS Plus membership now and get a prorated refund on my final three months?
The Last of Us Part II was announced at PSX today. I think we all knew this was coming eventually but I'm glad to finally see a trailer even if there wasn't much going on in it. If nothing else it made me really want to finally play through The Last of Us Remastered.
