When Sony announced that the PlayStation 4 wasn't going to be backwards compatible or allow you to download current PlayStation Network titles, DC Universe Online players freaked out. Had the hours spent creating heroes and villains in the MMO been a waste?

Today, Sony Online Entertainment has an answer: no. DC Universe Online is coming to the PlayStation 4 -- and so is Planetside 2, the first-person shooter MMO currently available for PC.

PS2!

 

[Carl]

Expected, but good to see it finally confirmed.

 

[Omiee]

PS4 the place to be for f2p and mmo's?

 

[Ephemeris]

With cross-platform play in tow, I wonder?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Truly awesome news. Having a really solid F2P MMOFPS (hopefully at launch) could be big for Sony.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

What's up with the sudden wave of Sony news? Riding dat postive tLoU wave, I guess.

I expect Everquest Next also go appear on the system. Actually it will probably be the case for all SOE games.

 

[Valnen]

With cross-platform play in tow, I wonder?

I see no reason to separate PS3 and PS4 players in DCUO, at the very least.

Planetside 2 needs a wayyy better tutorial/introduction to be console friendly. Or perhaps some sort of matchmaking system that's better than the "instant action" thing they have now.

 

[StuBurns]

Okay, I would make fun of it being too obvious, but I wouldn't have guessed DCUO at all, so the joke's on me.

PS2 is a nice get I think, especially if it's launch.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I am overly excited for this. I knew they wouldn't let me down

 

[DR3AM]

With so many F2P PS4 games, no one is going to buy any real games.

 

[Moobabe]

PS4 the place to be for f2p and mmo's?

Diablo 3, DOTA 2, Guild Wars 2 and FFXIV to follow.

Spoiler

Please

In all seriousness - whatever happened to Sony's deal with NCSoft?

 

[darkwing]

With cross-platform play in tow, I wonder?

I really would be surprised if it wasn't

Everquest Next is coming to PS4 for sure.

 

[nampad]

Happy about Planetside 2. Was pretty hyped about the game but my PC sucks. Hope it plays well on the PS4.

With the right marketing it coulld be a big exclusive for Sony.

 

[El_Chino]

Looking forward to playing PS2 on the PS4 lol.

 

[AgentP]

I'm happy about both. DCUO is a really fun MMO that can be enjoyed for many hours for free. It is like Crackdown meets Everquest.

 

[Strickland]

Awesome!

 

[Chamber]

PS2, YES!!

 

[SniperHunter]

fuck yea Planetside 2

hope they allow cross play between PC and PS4 version! Game is fucking epic

 

[Elginer]

FUCK YES!!!

 

[RibMan]

Very interested in PS2, great to get a PS4 confirmation!

 

[darkwing]

Diablo 3, DOTA 2, Guild Wars 2 and FFXIV to follow.

Please

isn't Diablo 3 already been confirmed for PS4?

 

[kortez320]

PS4 the place to be for f2p and mmo's?

Not as long as PC is around.

PS2 was totally expected being a Sony game.

It will be interesting to see what they do with Everquest next.

 

[MikeE21286]

Great news!!

 

[Crimson_Gold]

What's your name on DCUO? I'm CrimsonGold. Hero!!!!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

SHOCKING NEWS!

 

[Var]

Hopefully DCU runs a lot better on PS4.

 

[Orpheus Telos]

This news isn't all that surprising, but it's still awesome to hear.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Well, no shit conserning PS2, everyone knew already


Needs to be there on launch day and pre-installed in the HDD.

 

[AranhaHunter]

PS2 games playable on PS4

 

[gofreak]

Unsurprising but good news. Confirmed for this year too so that is nice.

 

[OdysseusVA]

PLANETSIDE 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Trevelyon]

Hope they secure dayz too.

 

[whitehawk]

Sweet! My PC can't even handle Planetside 2 on low-medium settings. I can finally play it.

 

[Chronos24]

Ok now I'm sold. PS4 will be my console choice over Xbone.

 

[Tourmeta]

PS2 is great, I really wanted to play it on PC but it was a bit too choppy for me.

Awesome!

 

[Domino792]

So excited for PS2 on PS4 i wonder if it will be cross platform.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Are these the first "real" big F2P games to come to consoles?

I mean, I can imagine spending hours and hours playing Planetside 2 on PS4 without even paying a single cent. That's fucking awesome and pretty unique for consoles.

 

[Moobabe]

Hope they secure dayz too.

That would be insane.

 

[StuBurns]

PLANETSIDE 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That GIF is legitimately well animated.

 

[Odrion]

What the FUCK?

But yeah, Planetside 2 is smart. Hopefully they'll try to make the art a little more appealing but still, nice stuff.

 

[Perkel]

fuck yea Planetside 2

hope they allow cross play between PC and PS4 version! Game is fucking epic

Not a chance. UT3 did that too and console players were decimated.

 

[Raide]

Good news for Planetside and PS4 fans. Will be interesting to see if they show it off at the E3 presser.

 

[Oshimai]

YESSSSSSSSSSS Planetside 2!!!

 

[Man]

Fuck yeah. Planetside 2 will rock on my telly!

 

[I-hate-u]

Yes @ PS2. I hope its preloaded on the console when shipped.

 

[Prezhulio]

Planetside 2 is awesome, this is a big get (and a no brainer). I hope it does well on ps4, I'm sure ill put some time in on it there as well, especially if my of progress carries over

 

[Diablo Rosso]

No surprise there but it's good to have confirmation.

Yeap, pretty much this, an incredible announcement indeed. GG Sony.

Now secure Dayz please.
