weird

If you have to pay PS+ for a F2P game then it is not free... I think it is common sense... to be F2P you need to play withou pay nothing.

so single player free to play games will actually be free to play

DC Universe Online is a F2P MMO.

but you'll need PS+ to play F2P MMOs

No Shuhei specifically says you can play DCU without needing a ps+ sub.

Any f2p is free. An mmo, though (asked specifically because you're already paying for it) will still need ps+, which is kinda sucky.

So there's some good news and bad news. One, is that you can play f2p games comepletely for free as intended, and the bad news is that you have to pay both the MMO sub and the ps+ sub to play online.

That being said, I believe that there is at least one subbed pay to play mmo that includes a month of whatever service you require along with your sub cost. ie; you buy a month of ff14 and you also get a month of ps+, and the price is the normal price, not a combined price.

They said at E3 you need PS+ to play online on the PS4 this is why I find that weird



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

But you kill the Free To Play pourpose for that... so F2P needs to be F2P.

Makes sense.



I changed the title.

I'm sure all pay MMORPGs will not require PS+.

I agree... it's weird to pay two subscription... Sony says it will be open to publisher but I can't see any published doing that.



MS doesn't require you to have Gold to play a paid MMO like FFXI or PSU when it was around, I can't see Sony requiring a PS+ subscription for premium MMO's on PS4.
