Matt Banks says: "Since it's confirmed and I was debating this in my head this morning, I wanted to get all of your opinions on the matter. With a Premium PSN coming in 2010, will you pay for it? I fully understand that it will depends on what added benefit most people will get, but just remember that everything you have now on the PSN will continue to remain free, including online play.
Personally, I'm on the fence. I'm in the minority of vocal internet gamers who sees the value and benefit in Qore and don't mind paying for that every year. A lot of you disagree, and I respect your opinion. I'm sure I'll end up paying for it anyway just so I can tell you all about it, but if I wasn't in my current position, it's a tough call especially in this economy."
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
"Deep Silver, Dambuster Studios, and PLAION are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second expansion (“SoLA”) for "Dead Island 2" (the said expansion is availableright now for PC and consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Online gaming will likely stay free which is basically the only thing I need PSN for other than download demos or DLC once in a while. As long as I can continue to do that without a fee I will probably not bother with the premium service.
Sony will need something to entice people into paying for the service so I'm guessing cross game chat might be one of those things (though I'm hoping it isn't).
Beta keys to big games as part of the service would certainly get me interested in it and I'm actually quite anxious to see what Sony offers in return for our cash.
No word has been made yet so only time will time.
It depends of the content. I wont pay premium avatars or premium gamercard background, just like I don't pay for gamerpics on Xbox 360. Neither for premium themes and even less a Playstation Home subscription.
The online play will remain free but if you will have to pay for it, I will but like with Live, I only will because I'm forced to do so. If it's for a European Qore, I will subscribe within seconds, and if they make pay-to-play cross-game chat, I will eventually pay if my friends do (there's no sense paying for a chat if you have no one to talk with).
But once again, it depends of the service and its quality. It's not "I'm a Sony fanboy so they have my wallet".
There is no way to answer that without knowing what it is i'm paying for.
gaming will still be free so again its about what's being offered.
If it have good things to offer, things I like, yes.
