so hold up ... did that one screen just say that for the $5/mo for ps+ you get to play online?

PS4 requires PS+ for MP. They're on par with MSFT now with that it seems like.

 

[smackababy]

Have to be PS+ for PS4? Oh...

 

[cmdrdredd]

drive club free at launch for PSN+ members? what???

 

[badb0y]

Game over

 

[purbeast0]

Glad that we can finally stop hearing all these people saying well MS is doing it so Sony is. haha

hah yeah me too. it was retarded to even just assume they would.

Trading in used games doesn't seem that big of a deal to me because I haven't been able to do so on steam and it hasn't been a big deal to me.

Looks like multiplayer will need PS Plus but can still watch things like Netflix without it

 

[Snock514]

no more free play station multiplayer

I want to see the video where they said no DRM. I only heard about it in the live blog.

Looks like online play is behind PS+ now

Wow, Drive Club free game on launch for PS+

 

[RedRooster]

I love how the crowd just started cheering "SONY! SONY! SONY!" when they announced no DRM.

Microsoft is probably shaking in their boots.

Talk about your all time backfires!
I hope MS brought drawing boards with them in the trucks, cuz they should be back at them right this second.

That doesn't actually make sense.

PSN+ stuff is extra crap like free games and beta access stuff.

Wonder if it was a goof up.

That's ok, PSN+ gives you tons of discounts and such so it's kind of worth it. Now if you subscribe to PSN+ you get Drive Club free day one

Wonder what Microsoft is thinking right now XD

that was pretty unclear IMO this is from engadget

"PS4 gamers that aren't PS Plus members will be able to enjoy single player games for free, and access to all your media services won't require plus." Notably, multiplayer gaming wasn't on that list.

Destiny gameplay trailed on PS not on MS which is interesting

You seriously didn't expect it to be free forever? Those servers cost money to run haha. And also, smaller games don't have as many dedicated servers or as good of dedicated servers. So making sure Sony can manage that for them is definitely a +.
Expect an increase in the quality of multiplayer games online, which was a complain of a number of people in the past when comparing both consoles.

So this is the one more thing they have to show us? Another multiplatform game?

While I am against paying to be able to play online. Since I am a PS+ member smply due to the amazing value from games along it doesn't phase me as much, but still pisses me off. Hopefully it is just a typo. But I'll continue to buy the service due to how great it is.

It's no typo. MP on PS4 needs PSN+. However they draw you in by offering all the discounts and basically what amounts to free games.

This looks a lot like Halo. I was hoping Bungie would do something different this time. =(

 

[Fingolfin269]

Are they going to start charging for online? Playstation plus feature of 'immersive multiplayer online'?
