**** trailer. Just a recap of the show. Many of the game could probably run on the current games with same graphics.

All though the respected magazine Edge said "We are certain in our source" I still think a always online requirement would be a deal breaker for many. Im always online myself, but it will prevent me from using my Xbox when I go away on boat, military and bringing it with me elsewhere.
Im happy I live in Europe if they pull this crap.

- Continued or increased subscription fee
- To much focus on Kinect
- Always online
- Screwing up used games
It actully pisses me off that Sony are unable to give us a straith forward answer on this. I was really hyped for Sony, but because of this im just pissed off. If MS can provide us with a real answer I would go for them right away. **** Sony.
Blocking multiplayer with a code is OK. The multiplayer will eventully die anyway. Blocking single players makes the games useless in the future. If I had to activate a Sega Mega Drive game online these days it would be impossible because Sega would have shut down the servers long ago. But these days im able to collect retro games because this activation code **** didnt excist back then.
No.
The same guy said this yesterday after the round table. This has already been posted multiple times.
[QUOTE="Eurogamer"]Eurogamer: One of the questions my readers really want an answer to is whether you're going to block the use of second-hand or 'used' games, because it's a huge concern for them.
Shuhei Yoshida: Do you want us to do that?
Eurogamer: No. I think if you buy something on a disc you have a kind of moral contract with the person you've bought it from that you retain some of that value and you can pass it on. Do you agree?
Shuhei Yoshida: Yes. That's the general expectation by consumers. They purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere, right? So that's my expectation.
Eurogamer: So if someone buys a PlayStation 4 game, you're not going to stop them reselling it?
Shuhei Yoshida Aaaah. [Asks PR adviser.] So what was our official answer to our internal question? [Consults adviser.] So, used games can play on PS4. How is that?S0lidSnake
It's still a cagey answer but they cannot block Single player or offline portion of the games. It's impossible. Especially when he says this earlier in the interview.
Eurogamer: Does the console always need to be connected to the internet?
Shuhei Yoshida: You can play offline, but you may want to keep it connected. The system has the low-power mode - I don't know the official term - that the main system is shut down but the subsystem is awake. Downloading or updating or you can wake it up using either the tablet, smartphone or PS Vita.
Eurogamer: Are all of those things optional? For people who have broadband data limits, for example? They can customise everything?
Shuhei Yoshida: Oh yes, yes, you can go offline totally. Social is big for us, but we understand there are some people who are anti-social! So if you don't want to connect to anyone else, you can do that.Eurogamer
My guess is that in the roundtable he is talking about the activation codes or the online pass. But anyway, both Tretton and him came out and said they are against blocking used games sales. This is old outdated news.
How is that? Steam does not require you to always play online. You simply have to activate the code and play offline.
There it is folks. Left up to the publishers, they'll lock them down for sure.

What did you expect him to say when they asked him about activation codes? You still need these codes to unlock multiplayer, DLC-s, and maybe even some single player parts. This wont change, and never will. How do you know he wasn`t talking about that? A simpel "NO" would have been wrong to.
But if they block both single and multiplayer, that would be wrong.
But how will that work? Its confirmed that you can play offline.

Have you read this? Looks like it`s illegal to make a profit this way.
