thekitchensink said: It's a cool feature that should be standard. However, I don't see too many developers taking advantage of this, since they'll want to bilk as many people as possible into buying the games. I'm surprised this hasn't been at least somewhat more common, though--Dr. Mario Online RX on the original Wii had this feature, too. |
Actually, sony is making it a platform wide feature. So in the future every game that can support it will. There is an interview dancing around confirming this. Apparently its part of what they announced when the revealed the PS4 back in feb last year.
And I personally see publishing jumping onto this thing. Its a great way to increase the sales of your game. Imagine a game like tekken, and you can only play tekken when i invite you to play, or a game like Destiny, you can only play multiplayer when I invite you. You come in, play it... get hooked, want to play more but I am not there to invite you all the time. What do you do? Go and buy the bloody game. Its a good way to get people that didnt plan on buying a game to actually play it and get hooked.
