Playstation 4 Supports Used Games

It's official, PS4 allows for the sale of used games.

NeverEnding19893973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

Does Playstation still support exclusive games? I've hardly seen any so far.

Great news though.

Pyrrhus3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

Its huge, Xbox is the complete opposite to ps4.
This is the biggest news of E3.

buddymagoo3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

No online check in either!! And E3 goes to Sony.

LOL_WUT3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

Sony just owned MS ;)

The PS4 truly is for GAMERS!

Pyrrhus3973d ago

Despite the somewhat average showing, I really am happy in my decision to support Sony.

Peppino73973d ago

Sony just solidified the next gen war!

JhawkFootball063973d ago

Ahhhh they just announced that you have to pay for Ps+ for multiplayer.

kneon3973d ago

I wonder if we need to put greenpowerz and frigidarkness on suicide watch after these announcements :)

papashango3973d ago

I think he just announced onling gaming being ps+ only

pompombrum3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

Have to admit, I was shocked by Sony's conference up until the point used game support was announced.. now Sony just won E3. They dropped some huge bombs on Microsoft and kicked them in the nuts big time.

So long Microsoft, you're now dead to me.

PS+ for mp.. LOL.. is that all you Microtards got as a comeback? Try harder.

DeanSanchez3973d ago

wow MEGATON after MEGATON!

THEY JUST WON THE GENERATION

Boody-Bandit3973d ago

What now to those that claimed Sony will have some form or DRM? What now?
Sony listens to their consumer base.

ceedubya93973d ago

Pyrrhus is right. The biggest news of the day isn't necessarily the games, but how the games are played. Sony has finally shown their stance, and took a shot at Microsoft in the process. Xbox had a good showing today, but their online policies will continue to overshadow any bonus points they got today with their games showing. They have to change their online policy while they still have time. They gave Sony a huge advantage.

badz1493973d ago

did you missed the part where he said the President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios revealed that 30 PS4 games in development, 20 of which will be out within the first year, and 12 of which are a new IP?

so...those are games from their own studios which means...EXCLUSIVES!

Not trolling now are you!

showtimefolks3973d ago

This is how you do it MS

Used games
No need to connected to NET

Sony a gaming company that actually care about gamers proven by news today

oricon3973d ago

Sorry but sony just ripped microsoft to shreds, they really need to remove that drm stuff if they want to stand a chance before the console is released.

I_am_Batman3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

Fatality. Xbox is done seriously if PS4 gets a better price point it's over for MS unless they change their direction until launch which is highly doubtful.

Sitdown3973d ago

But you have to pay to play online. Wow.

Bathyj3973d ago

Youre just whistling in the graveyard arent you?

zebramocha3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

@peppino that old playstation saying,next gen begins when Sony says so.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

Death3973d ago

If it is more profitable to publish games on the XboxOne and hardware sales between the two are similar, what is to prevent third parties from jumping to the new Xbox platform? Everyone claims it is all about the games, but not many support the people that make them and publish them. This could turn out to be a huge win for Microsoft if they sway any of the larger third parties to support them exclusively. Sony does not have the cash to roll out enough exclusives to keep the PS4 alive if this happens.

silvacrest3973d ago

wouldn't publishers jump to where the install base is? right now it looks like the PS4 will be that console

Death3973d ago

Right now is way too ear;y to tell. Typically, third parties follow the install base. Third parties also help build the install base. If I buy Madden for $60 and it can only be traded in at Gamestop once, what happens to the value compared to a copy on the PS4 that can be traded multiple times? If the publisher is paid twice for 1 copy and once for a copy sold multiple times used, where is the greater profit margin? Not only would the XboxOne version be more profitable compared to multiples on the PS4, but as gamers the value of your used game went up with it when it can only be resold once. Gamestop will no longer have so many copies of used games that they are only worth 50 cents when you trade them in.

This gamble Microsoft is taking may be huge. They are protecting the publishers/developers and at the same time increasing trade values for customers. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure how much I appreciate the restrictions, but it's a ballsy move that is quite frankly without presedence. If it works, color me pretty damned impressed.

Lol, damage controlling mad Xbox fanboys.

buddymagoo3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

It's official Sony just won over gamers across the world!

Thank you for common sense Sony!

Why o why3973d ago

So....Story Dun on that then....No More Grouping

Karpetburnz3973d ago

If its true that you need PS+ to play online, while I'm not very happy about it, I'm still fully supporting PS4, why would PS gamers jump ship to Xbox when they're also charging for multiplayer.

In fact it's better on PS4 because if you dont pay, you will still have access to all your media apps unlinke Xbox which has apps like Facebook, netflix and youtube behind a pay wall.

Ben Dover3973d ago

Microsoft.. you have been owned.

kneon3973d ago

Sony could have skipped the games and just made these announcements and still would have come out on top.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3973d ago (Edited 3973d ago )

yeah sony one e3 easy.

With indie support day 1 alone.

Mikelarry3973d ago

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak38m ago(Edited 30m ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
