Monthly subscription for PS4, is it a deal breaker for you ?

Sure is for me, i was allready saving up for a PS4 and when i saw the announcment than it will have a monthly subscription to play games online i lost all intrest compleatly. Both the Xbone and PS4 are now non-existant for me because of this. I'll just use this money to upgrade my PC instead of buying any next gen consoles, no way i'm paying a monthly subscription for a basic thing such as online play.

I was so happy during the start of E3 and now i'm just sad all because of that one thing Sony did, won't be picking up any next gen consoles ever.

Well I rarely play console games online, so I don't care really.

Considering the two next-gen consoles, I'm getting PS4 for sure. X1 is a way too closed system, even for a console.

Yeah, it might be.

Like I've stated a few times around this forum, I'm gonna need some serious convincing to even consider paying for multiplayer.

Nope doesn't bother me, $49.99 a year is chump change, although I might stick with MP on PC if I can upgrade my PC here in the next few months.

Not for me, I barely play console multiplayer as it is (last time I did so on the PS3 was to laugh at how bad UC3's MP was). That said, I am not interested in the system anyway, yet. Maybe I will get it once more games come out (that interest me).

Also, was it confirmed that it would require a subscription or is this yet another stupid rumor?

It wasn't a deal breaker for the 360, won't be for the PS4 as well. For me at least.

No, I was already subscribed for both consoles.

Its a deal breaker in the sense that I wont be playing my PS4 online.  Still getting the console though.

No, plus on PS4 just like PS3 you get lots of free games so its all good. And PS4 online should also be better.

PS+ is great but I think it's shitty for Sony to make it necessary to play online. I rarely play multiplayer but that's still a poor move especially since they got hacked a couple of years ago.

49.99? That s**** better the converted properly into euros or I'll be mad. It is a bit of a deal breaker to me IMO, but I'm not very keen in getting a new console anytime soon.

I  guess I won't mind paying a month or two (IF I get the console) when I have time to play. Plus the offers in plus tend to be good so it isn't THAT outrageous. I still find a bit ludicrous that you have to pay but I guess that's how thing are nowadays...

PS : PC FTW

I fond value in PS+ so Im a member. Nothing's changed. Playstation Plus just throws stuff at me to keep me happy.

Xbox Live always felt like a tax. I only cared for online gaming

Btw, I just realized in your sig - zemljace! :)

No. It's literally the only negative I can find about the console and it's less than $5 a month, so it's not too bad at all.

It wasn't for the 360, so it isn't for the PS4.

Well I won't lie... I didn't liked this because I was always against the fees you had to pay for xbox live. However there's a difference over here... you're not just paying a monthly sub to Sony, you get a PS+ service. I don't think there's a need to get into details as to what PS+ offers... it's a good deal.

Absolutely not. I stay subscribed to PS+ because it is an amazing service. I understand running a high quality online service costs money but Sony is doing this the right way. Hell Drive Club alone will cover a cost of a sub and all the games and discounts you will continue to get are a bonus. It is an amazing deal.

It wasn't for the 360, so why would it for the PS4?

Oh and you are a fakeboy. Don't act like you aren't a hermit pretending to be a former cow.

I'll be honest even if online was still free I would still get the PS+, you seem to get something with the service unlike XBL. But yeah I have no problem with it. 

thats the only thing i'll be charged for on ps4 compared to all the insane additional fees on xbox one. i don't find the monthly online fee for ps4 hindering my decision over the money sucking xbox one.

I was upset too when i heard that but 99% of the time i play single player games so it doesn't really bother me. For people who play a lot of multiplayer though i  understand their frustration. :(

Nope, already a PS+ subscriber so nothing will change going from PS3 to PS4. And if it means a service more in line (quality and features) with XBL then its a win win.

It really turns me off from buyng it. I guess I'll get it a few years down the road for some console exclusives, but there's no way I'd pay for MP. I was a PS+ member for two years since launch, but cancelled last year. It wasn't a bad service per se, but I doubt I'd resuscribe again.

lots of broke high school kids in this thread. 

$50 a year too expensive? i spend more on coffee 

i doubt Sony cares for you tight arse's 

I'm not really sure. I mean I don't want to pay monthly fees. But I think it makes sense, because some of the money goes for devs because of used games. That's how I think it is. They implemented it so that some money will go to devs, because Sony is allowing used games, but devs still need their money.

This was a big let down for me.. I feel way less interested into buying a ps4.. I really don't like monthly fees..

Yup. Refused to pay for it on the 360.

What? No? fvvvvck. WHy sony? :(

meh, I spend way more a year on coffee too.

but, its not really a price thing for me, it's just a tad sad to see Sony following in MS's foot steps. Still, I'd admit that Sony's deal is much more appealing than MS'.

I'm guessing you missed a lot, its been an eventful show.

Funny thing is, even with this terrible news, Sony still managed to piss on MS.

I understand there is extra value in it, but I prefer my online gaming to be free.  I knew this would happen, no way Sony could continue to sit back watch MS rake in that easy money year after year.

But I just wont go for it.  I'll still happily buy a PS4, but I wont be playing online.  If PSN+ happens to get a few games that I'm interested in I may change my mind.

How does it look horrible? The only thing that one can objectively comment about is the graphics, and those graphics look better than Forza 5, and its quite possible one of the most beautiful games on the next gen systems. Other than that, the only other thing to comment on is the driving, which you cant really do until you play the game. I mean no offense, but when you are just watching a driving game...they all look the same. You accelerate, you brake, you turn, rinse, repeat. What differentiates them is how each car handles, and that can only be seen by playing the game.

So how does Driveclub look horrible? What has it done that's made it horrible? I would guess that if your a car afficionado driving is what matters, not drive-a-tars, or how the game can now play itself or any such thing. What should matter is the core driving experience, and you wont know that til you get ur hands on the game.

I see the monthly fee as a strategic move. "Oh MS is doing all this crazy shit? Lets do the opposite but slip monthly online fees, it will be somewhat obscures by all the other crap".

And it is. But I'm still not happy about it.

Thats exactly how it went down. They saw how badly MS was messing up with DRM, so they said "if we have no DRM and a a great price, we can easily slip in PSN requirement for online play and people will forgive us." and to be honest, it has payed off. People are generally not too mad about it, but I'm with you. Im really not a fan of charging people just to play games online. All the other stuff sure, but gaming should be free.

was planning to get two or three consoles for online/lan parties , but if im forced to pay double/triple ps+ subscriptions price now for supporting sony with multiple console purchases, ill just get one console instead and play it in offline mode
