I'm fine with it been paying for XBL Gold for 4 years now and haven't gotten anything back aside from being able to play multiplayer. Now with PS+ Ill be able to get a little something back other than just multiplayer.

I don't think no one could charge you for local multiplayer if anyone could it would be Nintendo they could make a boatload of cash that way.

I'm on PS+ and I'm still against it. People shouldn't have to pay to play online. PS+ is a great deal, but there are those that don't want it, and they shouldn't be forced to get it just to play a game online. A server costs next to nothing to run and maintain in comparison to what a game with good online usually makes anyways.
Most online games are P2P, peer to peer. Bandwidth is next to nothing in comparison to full server support.
PS+ is a great deal and it's less of a slap in the face, but it's still bs that it's required.

PS + has a 3 month option for like 13 bucks or something. My friend actually did that to play Monkey Island. @OP. I'm seveely disappointed. I understand a fee for Destiny, Elder Scroll, or other titles that needs a server for persistant gameplay. But something like Street Fighter where it can be done P2P, there should be no need for subscription. This soured the entire conference for me. Sad cause I don't think I'd actually let my subscription expire since I get so much out of plus, but I am soo disappointed with this. |
Did you think the share button on the PS4 controller wouldn't require servers, or that not all games would use it? Sony is pushing spectators watching people play. How do you have a bunch of people watching people play online, by Peer 2 Peer only? Go look at how Sony is running online play with Gaikai. Watching and share are integrated, not optional.
It's a shame free multiplayer is gone, oh well there is still PC and WiiU for that.
I already have ps+, so long as those offerings are still good I will be extending it anyway. With their 15 months for $49 promotions it is already well worth it.
I guess they figured price and no online drm would be enough to offer against xbox one, they are right.
Still sucks but at least they can stop charging bandwidth fees to 3rd parties and get some more demos on there.

How about this: Now that Sony is doing it, M$ fanboys consider it a problem? What happened to you get what you pay for and all the other justifications for XBL gold's price? PS+ has an obvious justification if you didn't notice. Read the price tag of the console. |

I can still play online multi-player free on my PS3, while with the xbox360 multi-player still cost's you money, so no they are still not the same thing.

lol seriously :) I'm looking at the lot of replies here... Those people argued few months ago about Xbox Live and the fact that online multiplayer should be FREE not matter what. |
$599 + free online or $400 + paid online. Gues which strategy was better last gen? Sony adopted the better strategy and judging by your avatar I'm pretty sure you were perfectly happy with that strategy just as you will probably be happy licensing your games

What happened to all those people who were ripping on the xbox live last gen. Oh wait they flipped flopped. The hypocrisy is hilarious.
On topic: I don't mind paying for PS plus, i have been paying for live for 3 years now. It is expected now.

So there will be something on launch at least. I'd be able to take advantage of the PS3 and PSV titles, but naturally, I'm going to want to play more things on the new system. The Gaikai service is what really has the potential to make PSN interesting, if they realize that goal of being able to make most of the back catalog of all PS games through the PS3 available via cloud. Technically, they don't need to make Gaikai a part of PSN+ given that consumers will presumably be paying for licenses on a per game basis anyway, but who knows how they're going to work those details out. Lot of unanswered questions yet. |
I think it makes more sense for them to give backcatalog games from Gaikai through PS+, especially after the console launches. Mainly because the games on Gaikai are going to be older PS3 games that will cost a lot less money after PS4 launches. I don't see them giving away too many full PS4 games just after PS4 launches. I am actually surprised they are even giving Drive Club away. I guess they intend to show their commitment to PS+ especially for making it a requirement for MP now.
