so yesterday i heard about the pay to play thing for PS4's multiplayer, this is disappointing to say the least. after all this time Sony is becoming Microsoft.. needless to say i'll be staying with PS3 until the servers are shut down. after that online gaming is dead to me.
how's everyone else feel?
servers cost money, welcome to the club...
I just think it's funny how after all the "HAHA xbots have to pay for onlinez!"
this happens and makes every PS fanboy sit down and evaluate the life they've been living.
Sony wants to improve their online service. That kind of stuff takes money.
it also takes away from what drew people to them in the first place, the free online is what made people pay nearly twice what the 360 was just to be able to play online.
I thought that was because it had a blu ray player?
not from what people all over PSN had said.
Just get a PC, you guys are getting ripped off with consoles :P
I'm ok paying $60 a year and not having my multiplayer games overrun with hackers.Quote:

Servers in games seem to go down a lot more than on xbox as well. I also pay for the playataion plus, if they made you buy that to go online that would be a hell of a deal, free online gaming new free games every month, free to play games, give better servers and a better online service and that would draw way more customers.
To be honest with what the showed off at E3 this year during the press release I expected them to say there will be madatory ps+ subscriptions to play online. Honestly, and hate me if you want, xbox online multi is more stable then the ps3 is at anytime of the day. I perfer playing on there online than my ps3. Sure i own defiance on ps3 mostly cuz my xbox is at its limit on memory and im to cheap to buy a bigger hardrive, and i do enjoy the slightly better graphics on my ps3 lol but i do hate how my wifi on the ps3 cuts out and signs me out and forces me to reboot to sign back in. Never has happened on my xbox so yeah. A little extra money to play online and better online stability? Ill gladly pay a small fee a year to do so.
Not surprised, was actually hoping for that to happen. Getting a constant flow of money can help then increase server stability and provide a better online experience all together.
I'm not sure about the xbone, but the ps4 has always been on my list. The possibility of a more advanced user friendly multiplay is just icing on the cake. Two thumbs up
The sad truth in all its gloryQuote:

People need to relax a little. Anyone that has PS+ realizes that it is the most beneficial to a gamer, with access to early beta's, at least 12 free games a month, and online storage for game saves. Try out the service before you count it out completely.
PS+ is worth buying as it gives you a lot for your money and on the PS4 you will still be able to play F2P games like planet side 2 without a PS+ sub.
the only comedy left in the console wars..... "you mean i have to pay for using up bandwidth and having a paid employee available for tech support when something goes wrong? screw you i'll just quit gaming all together!"
always a good way to start your day.

Still better than having a camera and mic on in my living room 24/7.
Anyone with a smart phone already has a camera mic with them at all times
Yes but when you turn off a phone it actually turns off. :PQuote:

I agree servers do cost money and i think they want to improve the services they offer
So at the end it may benefit us even more
with them doing this the community will fall, you'll get people who will judge your every move, if you say one wrong thing you're avoided, or in x-box's terms you get a bad review, those same people will start spreading the word to they''re randomly added friends who in turn will tell they're over 50+ fiends and eventually your public enemy number one for just a simple i don't like one thing you don't. it happened on 360 it will happen on PS4..Quote:

I am pretty much avoided by most of xbox live. :') it is simple as you beat them at a game you get avoided for quit early or cheating.Quote:

Online gaming is dead to you? Okay cheapskate, have fun paying your $60 a month for new singleplayer games every month while the rest of us are paying $5 a month for countless hours of multiplayer AWESOMENESS!Quote:

Also I hear there are some nice Bingo games on Facebook that are free to play.
the monthly/yearly charge is why i went to xbox. everyone i talk to seems to think its pay to play, IMO your paying for the protection, not paying to play. look at how many times the PSN has been hacked, players info stolen or sold, and compare that to xbox's history.. change your outlook on it, and it might become reasonable to stick with what ya like. plus another member on here made a clearly good point, maintaining servers are not free.
Agreed I have had very few hiccups with PS3 and those were mainly defi related. Xbox has always screwed up for me.Quote:
