Planetside 2 and DC Universe Online coming to PS4

PS2, YES!!

I think this GIF sums up how most of us feel. This is more good news coming from Sony.
 
Anybody else find it funny that they simply repurposed a PC trailer for the PS4 announce and it ends with "nvidia: the way it's meant to be played"?
 
If only the game was that good for solo players =/. You can never find combat like that when you're alone. The game seems lifeless if you don't know people and don't know what you're doing. And it certainly does nothing to help you either.

That's kind of the point, isn't it? You can't be involved in scenario's like that if you aren't willing to actually get involved and join in. If they made the solo play too appealing, then team work would drop and none of those epic moments would be taking place.
 
I imagine F2P games having huge appeal once word spreads a little among younger teens.

Sony should jump on this with both feet. Add a F2P tab on the store page or something.
 
I doubt this is cross-play. It would be no fun for console players.

Also you are severely limited in this game without spending any money. I'm not trying to dissuade people PS2 is an awesome extremely rapidly improving game with maybe the most open dev team of all time. (Roadmap for the next six months is continually updated and the community is allowed to vote and things voted for are pushed to the top of the devs to do list). In six months time when the PS4 is released it will be significantly improved from where it is now.

But. The cert gain is slow enough that you will be frustrated without using Station Cash. Playing with one weapon per class and gimped vehicles isn't fun.

If you want to play this game I imagine SOE will offer a pre-order type deal that allows you to spend 40-50 bucks that will get you a nice long boost and selection of weapons and some SC to play around with. Highly highly recomended.
 
Why pre-install it? If you want it, download it.

Works both ways :P

Would get more people to play it in the end. If it's there and available, more people are likely to give it a shot than if they had to go through the effort to go onto the store and download it.
 
If there is a dearth of decent titles after the launch period for the new consoles, then all these F2P titles are going to make Sony's console look a whole lot more appealing that the xbox. MS are making a huge mistake by letting so many of these slip, imo.
 
I am really liking Sony's strategy with the ps4. Planetside 2 is a great game that I look forward to playing with a controller. I am a huge mmo fan and am really excited to see what else I can play on my couch.
 
I think pre-installing PS2 on all PS4s would be smart. They can say it comes with a free game.

Yep - also PS+ with a free PS4 game at launch would be pretty smart.

PS2 being on every machine would create an immediate, and fairly large, community for the game.

The cert gain is fine, you don't expect to be max level in a MMO as soon as you play it. If you enjoy the game, you'll spend money on it. There is so much for you to do as a free game.

This would be so easy for PR:

Planetside 2, a game with mainly positive reviews, a FPS, free with every Playstation 4 purchase
30 days free trial for PS+, get "free games" and discounts from the PSN store

Problem with PS+ is that it might not be there at launch for PS4 and with lack of BC, that means you can't get the PS3 freebies and play on your PS4 either.

Expected, it was teased months ago.

Now, announce EQ3 for PS4.....!

The surprise will be if that doesn't come.
 
That's fantastic news, at this rate we will be able to buy a PS4 and have a small collection of games to play without having to spend another penny. Sony is continuing to make a PS4 purchase easier and easier to swallow.
 
Planetside 2 (wooohoo!), Destiny, probably other interesting exclusives, free-to-play games, gamer-focused device, and presumably still free multiplayer.
Yeah, i think it is nearly 100% clear i'll switch to PS4 for next gen.
Now all i need is a confirmation of no-anti-consumer-bullshit Microsoft likes.

No the cert gain is awful. Your level is irrelevant.

What is relevant is that essential suit upgrades for each class will run you in the 1000s of points range. Most weapons are 1000 points. Certing vehicles will cost you 1000s of points.

All this combined with the fact that one cert equals 250 XP. This translates roughly to a cert every two kills. In a game where kills do not come nearly as fast as a game like Battlefield or CoD simply due to the logistics of the whole thing.
