Read this.
Just wow. So much yes in that article.
My favourite part:
“No DRM, no restrictions, no online requirements, and no authentication.”

It’s a long time coming but I’m glad Sony are doing something for the gamer. :)

They are bringing in the pay to play online model that Microsoft currently does, but I don’t think it matters too much.

Also, they are bringing in Indie games to the console… Don’t Starve on PS4 anyone?!

xbox needed to die anyway

sounds good to me but i do think “No DRM, no restrictions, no online requirements, and no authentication.” part will only apply to what sony does. the developers can will still add DRM etc

as for indie titles AWESOME but i wont be buying them for the console i only got my PS3 for games ill never see on linux(Battlefield 3/deus ex/few others) and the ps4 will be the same

Well personally I won’t be

Well personally I won’t be buying the ps4, or at least not for a few years (at which point I may as well wait for the next gen console) but still! It’s looking so good. I guess that’s from the point of view of a gamer though.

Xbox One isn’t aimed at the gamer at all, so I think they will lose a lot of customers just because of that. Kinda sad, I really liked the Halo franchise. (although it did peak around halo 3 imo)

That IS great news

but i dont appreciate the move the the “live” pay to play multiplayer online subscription dealies

Yeah,

pay to play online is rubbish but ah well. The console is cheap, and it seems that a lot of the indie games on the playstation will be available for free with that Plus membership so I think it will be a lot better then xbox gold membership, which is just play online and that’s it.
