just heard the news about PS4 multiplayer..

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.

[vorxdargo]

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?

[vorxdargo]

not from what people all over PSN had said.

I'm ok paying $60 a year and not having my multiplayer games overrun with hackers.

since i own both and play both. i can tell you shelling out 60 dollars a year (like 5 bucks a month or 16 cents a day(even less per account for the family plan $2.06 a month or 7 cents a day(those are per account, comes with 4 accounts)) for decided more secure servers with less disconnects is worth it. the ps3 dashboard is far superior to xbox and graphics are slightly better download speeds are slightly better, however the frequent disconnects and having to shut down and restart the ps3 to re establish a connection. 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.
