QSwordfish Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Because the multiplayer for the PS4 requires a Playstation Plus subscription, do we need PS+ to play Warframe on PS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebat86 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 This is probably just like Xbox live. Once you have that you can DL and access online content etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoxile Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Where do you hear you need PS+ to play it online? ALl I see in that picture is what is available for PS+ members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Immersive multiplayer online on PS4" Kind of sounds like a paid service to play online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleesus Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Do a quick google search and you will find out you do need PSN+ to play multiplayer on the PS4. That being said, Im sure warframe wont have an magical exception to that rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladhe8her Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Playstations online service has never costed a penny. Playstation+ is just a premium online exsperiance, where you get bonus content. Playstation network has never been a pay to play online service. Playstation FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegetableBasket Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Sony would have little to gain by allowing a bunch of people to play f2ps through their console with no strings attached other than making the box a little more attractive to consumers, which, hey, maybe is enough, but I'm guessing they'd like to have a subscription on the owners.I'm still wondering why in the world anyone would rather play Warframe on a console when they can just plug a controller in their PC, it already has awesome controller support.

Playstation network has never been a pay to play online service. Playstation FTW Please read. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/06/ps4-owners-will-need-playstation-plus-subscription-for-online-multiplayer/ "Apparently, online multiplayer gaming on the PS4 will require a $50 per year subscription to PlayStation Plus, matching a similar requirement for Xbox Live Gold to get online multiplayer on Microsoft's systems." Sony would have little to gain by allowing a bunch of people to play f2ps through their console with no strings attached other than making the box a little more attractive to consumers, which, hey, maybe is enough, but I'm guessing they'd like to have a subscription on the owners. I'm still wondering why in the world anyone would rather play Warframe on a console when they can just plug a controller in their PC, it already has awesome controller support. They are blasphemers.

Pourvoir Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I've had playstation plus since day 1 so it's not a big deal to me. I think it sucks cause I know some people don't care about having ps plus but I don't think sony would charge for it unless they planned on giving a quality online experience. Also, you get a LOT of free games and other dlc from being a ps plus member which I doubt will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELREYULTIMO Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) From what I have read. Yes, you will need to pay for Playstation+ to play any games online. Therefore, yes, you would need to get it to play warframe online. I'm still wondering why in the world anyone would rather play Warframe on a console when they can just plug a controller in their PC, it already has awesome controller support. Not all of us have pcs that are actually rigged for gaming. It would be nice not to have to worry about my sad little laptop (which is supposed to be for school) overheating itself when I play a game.

They are trying to not suck so hard like they did with the ps3 but that means more expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladhe8her Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I just want to say i apologize for any confusion i may have caused. Im a we bit depressed in hearing about pay to play multiplayer :( i though sony would have never done this but... for $50 a year im happy with the small price!

Korten12 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It's hard to say, since an article also confirmed that Planetside 2 and DCUO, both F2P games will NOT require PS+. http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/06/12/e3-2013-sonys-shuhei-yoshida-shares-relevant-details-on-playstation-plus-requirement-for-multiplayer-on-ps4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skytt Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Joystiq just posted an article, says it's up to the publishers for free-to-play games to decide whether PS+ will be a requirement: Furthermore, free-to-play games won't require PlayStation Plus for online multiplayer. During a separate rountable Joystiq was present at, Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei said, "As far as free-to-play games are concerned, it's the publisher's decision whether they put it inside or outside of PS Plus." http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/12/playstation-plus-price-not-changing-video-services-dont-requir/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squaresphere Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think this was brought up in the interview Steve had with Gamespot (or Spike, can't remember) basically he said they only found out about the PS+ requirement to play online at E3. Pretty sure DE will give us the real answer once they come back from E3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasten Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Pretty sure DE will give us the real answer once they come back from E3 Yep, I'm sure they have a metric ton of questions for Sony reps. Especially with stuff like the PS+ for multiplayer. Based on that dualshockers link, it sounds like if Developers want to link into things like the Share video features then their games will need to be part of the PS+ model. A good follow up question is if players can choose not to have access to the Share feature and still play without PS+? Say you can be a PS+ Warframe member and be able to Share on UStream while a non-PS+ Warfarme player is blocked from that feature (for obvious reasons). I don't think Sony will allow this, IMO. Although for people really into using their playstation for online gaming the PS+ members actually doesn't look that bad for the dollar value... unlike MS's featureless Golden pay-wall.
