PS4 Has 2000 Friend Limit

A new Playstation Q&A Video has confirmed that Party Chat will be on the PS4 without PS Plus. The friends list was also confirmed to hold 2000 friends.

[iamnsuperman]

2,000 is a lot (way more than I need) but I am unsure why friends lists are capped in the first place.

[Hatsune-Miku]

ps4 is the best gaming platform, full stop.

the order 1886 looks amazing and more compelling than anything on the other inferior consoles. i can already see the praises since its being made by a highly skilled dev team. imagine what naughty dog is working on for ps4?

it seems silly to me to even consider getting inferior so called next gen consoles for more money when we know that ps4 will have the better games in high quantity.

if you are a gamer that cares about quality titles and quality exclusives with amazing hardware then playstation is it. it has been the best every generation since ps1.

a lot of FUD was spread about the ps3 but sonys message has stayed the same to make the best games possible for core gamers. look at the whole generation of the ps3 and you see other consoles with mass hardware issues and lack of quality exclusives but the extremists will tell you they had cross game chat. on playstation 3 people had a alot of quality exclusives that are highly praised and highly rated. even though ps4 is being released in about 3-4 months the ps3 has a lot of quality exclusives still planned for release and has had a lot released already in the year. its not so on the competitions console which hasnt seen a quality exclusive title for over a year and hasnt had a highly praised title for over 6 years.

ps4 first day

[NewMonday]

along with making PSN a standard internet app available on PC's and Mobile devices, this will be my go to social network.

wish they would make an unlimited "follow" feature.

[bumnut]

How can PS4 be the best if it hasn't released yet?

[pedrof93]

Have you seen any gameplay ? Full stop.

I really want to see some. I can't get excited just because of a fancy trailer. I read somewhere that it was a TPS ? Will it have a cover base system like Gears of War ?

But I'm getting a PS4 at launch anyway.

[justastranger10]

Xbox One has Unlimited friends, 300,000 servers, Azure Cloud Platform. Would rather have that to be honest.

[iamnsuperman]

@justastranger10

Just as you brought it up at least get the information right. It is a maximum of 1,000

http://venturebeat.com/2013...

[joe90]

"the order 1886 looks amazing and more compelling than anything on the other inferior consoles"

YEH suuuuure, Never seen a FPS set in the past with futuristic weapons 'Cough' Resistance 'Cough'

[Ezz2013]

@justastranger10
"""Xbox One has Unlimited friends"""

did you even bother reading the news ?!
http://www.gamespot.com/new...
"Sony's new console will allow players to have 2,000 virtual friends, while Microsoft will support 1,000; PS4 party chat confirmed"

and party chat in ps4 won't need PS+ unlike Xbox where you need Live Gold membership to use it

like i said xbox fanboys keep post wrong info and try way to hard to feel better for paying 100$ more for a weaker console
and also post BS like Xbox have more Features when both have almost the same thing
like
xbox have the cloud
ps4 have Gaiki
Xbox have party Chat that you have to pay to use it
Ps4 have party chat and you won't pay for it
all the TV stuff ps4 have it as well and netflix is free on ps4
also ps+ offer tons of free games

as for games all the talk is subjective
no hard facts which game look better
just opinions and you can't judge console power by launch titles
if that was true then games like TLOU would have not looked on whole other level than ps3 launch titles
you can only judge a console
by it specs only at this time

[Sevir]

@Joe it's a cinematic 3rd person action shooter. Get it right

[trafalger]

2,000 friend limit on the ps4 versus 1,000 on the xbone. that's how petty things are becoming. well the xbone is blacker than black, it's the blackest black possible. beat that!

[tokugawa]

wow my console is better than yours because this and that... now even the size of friends lists are being compared lol.

100 maybe 200 max is all that is needed. anything more is just ridiculous imo.

[WeAreLegion]

@joe90 - Those aren't futuristic weapons. They are steam-powered. (Steam punk)

[justastranger10]

Xbox One has unlimited friends. So I don't see how this is impressive.

[Kryptix]

@tokugawa

You can party chat on a PS4 without a subscription, that's new info and is better than Xbox Live's party chat which you have to pay. This means you can play free to play games while party chatting, still be able to use online features without paying. Free vs $60 a year, which one is better? And don't give that Xbox Live is better crap, plus you definitely cannot say it this time around now that it's equal except you can party chat on the PS4 for free. ;)

[kreate]

100 friend is not enough especially if u play ps home a lot.

But 2000 friend is over-kill.

But I see some ppl w ridiculous amount of friends on fb, I say why not.

[StoutBEER]

Okay so... you seem to forget that people care about CERTAIN games not just games in general. Halo is my baby and continues to be, it is the reason I got a 360, and it will be the reason I get a ONE. Plain and simple.

This was a reply to Hatsune Miku.

[mewhy32]

I won't ever fill up that many friends. But it's nice to know that there's the option.

[Martywren]

@joe90 u mad bro

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Wow 2000 is insane, and here I thought 500 is overkiller. This is a great news.

BTW whats here source on this?

[Trenta27]

While I want the PS4, saying its the best before its released is silly.

[tokugawa]

Kryptix... I try not to get into the whats best arguments. 1000 2000 friends is overkill, and stupid to be smug about.

Now free party chat on the other hand is great. No question

[ziggurcat]

@ pedrof93:

there's been plenty of gameplay footage. full stop.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Were you somehow provoked into that rant or something?

[The_Con-Sept]

Yay! I can finally stop making multiple accounts for all my friends!!! It just means I will only have to make 3!

This totally trumps the friend card for online services.

[helghast102]

How much is Sony paying you?

[UnholyLight]

@Hatrsune-Miku I'm getting a PS4 day one but seriously, get off Sony's reproductive organ cus I gotta say Xbox One has a good lineup as well! I've found Sony's exclusives to just never really live up to the hype I had for them (Resistance, Infamous, GT). Killzone has to be one of the few Playstation games worth buying a PS4 for. Well, that and DriveClub.

[JunioRS101]

Playstation, 4 real gamers.

[snipab8t]

dude get a life

[BLAKHOODe]

I'm pro-PS4, but other than seeing the trailer at E3, I don't know a thing about The Order 1886. I hope it's an amazing game that absolutely blows my mind, but until I see some gameplay footage, I'm not interested.

But give me Watch_Dogs!

[LAZL0-Panaflex]

Can I change my psn Id that's what I want to know

[pivotplease]

Would be a nice feature. Even for a small fee (1 to 2 dollars). I am sick of my stupid name, but don't want to give up those elusive platinums.

[carlingtat]

Thats your own fault for not choosing your psn name wisely.

[mxrider2199]

carling tat somepeople get sick of there name and want a change at the time it was probably an awesome name but as the years pass it gets old
i have had mine for 10+ years on everygame i play but want a change now

[pivotplease]

yeah that's like saying you should never be able to take back any decisions in life you freak lol. I was 16 when I first got my PS3 and now I am 22. I would be lying if I said I have not matured at all and am a completely different person. Especially considering my name is based off of where I got my launch PS3 because it was the very last one in town. It's a nice memory, but we're moving onto a new console and it has been almost a decade. The option to change your name wouldn't be hard to include so I don't see why they wouldn't add it.

[Veneno]

I want to change my name too but from what I've seen there's not enough people expressing interest in making the change.

[Alexious]

It's a lot for sure.

[Goro]

Well people could add half of PSN, it would be a little hard to find somebody if you had 35 million people in your list

[slaton24]

unless they added a feature where you type a persons name in and automatically find that person which would also be neat

[sarshelyam]

Would it really? My PSN friends list is capped at 100 and at its busiest, I might have 1/5 of those friends online at any given time. Many of them are attached for social reasons, the remainder are found through each respective game's invite system (often listed online in the lobby portal when playing the same game).

It also sounds like you'll be able to filter those friends with a number of settings, both privacy-based and otherwise.

I think it remains to be seen, but I've never had an issue navigating the list on the current gens...with exception to XBL. I never understood why my friends list has to be populated by my friends, and the friends THEY are engaged in a party chat with.

[T2]

it already annoys me to scroll down through my list of 50 friends, LOL, 2000 ?? probably make me snap.

[admiralvic]

@ Joecanada

I got over 2,000 saves on my PS3 and I can tell you that after about 100 the PS3 will start to lag. xD

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

You can make folders on your PSN friends list to divide people up for easy sorting

[josephayal]

Imagine all the pop ups when they all come online

[StoutBEER]

Lol oh god, notifications goin off day one.

[DoctorJones]

Now all I need is 2000 friends.

:(

[torchic]

I'll be your friend :)

[DoctorJones]

Cool :)

1999 more to go!

[pixelsword]

torchic will be getting the Xbone.

Sorry doc,

http://fc02.deviantart.net/...

[-Superman-]

The fact is that Sony owns more exclusive companies who make great games.

Look last 3 year exclusives on Xbox 360, look at PS3 and you see who is winner.
Xbox - Halo, Gears of War and Forza
PS - LittleBigPlanet, Gran Turismo, Killzone, Uncharted, God of War, Infamous, Ratchet & Clank and more and more.

It´s all about games!

[truechainz]

Was that a reply to someone? Cuz the PS4 will be just as awesome without you randomly bringing up the 360

[bigfish]

At the person who claims Xbox One has unlimited friends list,,, why would you even need that many?, also playstation owners are less bligerant and better gamers, if anything, ps4 would be better off with unlimited friends, but its a pointless feature to have it unlimited anyway

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

X1 only allows 1000 friends which will be way more than enough for most ppl. But I'm happy PSN allows so many just in case. Lol.

[minimur12]

@bigfish

"also playstation owners are less bligerant and better gamers"

+7723489
I watched some video about some guy tr5olling on xbox live saying 'i cant wait to get a ps4' and they were abusing him SO MUCH
and also, making references to donkey d**ks

I have never come across such profanity in a playstation lobby, it may be because i usually mute most people but when I don't notthat often I hear swearing (which is good because it comes straight out hte TV)

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[MWong]

Interesting Sony Q&A vid, 2000 is way more than anybody needs. Well already assumed your PSN ID would carry over since they announced you get to keep your PS+ current subscription. I wonder if it will be in 3 tiers like it is currently monthly, 90 day or annual or will it just be annual?

While I agree it's all about games I do have to say M$ has deep pockets and have proven that they are willing to pay for exclusive games or timed-exclusives.

[StoutBEER]

Thank you Mwong for being intelligent and not hateful.

[SirBradders]

Their pockets will only get deeper when devs realise ps4 is going to sell like hot cakes because they will do some mad calculations and estimate numbers they'll lose out on ps4 etc...

[StoutBEER]

@iamnsuperman No check again. That's old news they have increased the friends list to "unlimited". Make sure to keep updated as to not post old info, it confuses the masses.

[pop-voxuli]

No, they didn't.

[iamnsuperman]

"Make sure to keep updated as to not post old info, it confuses the masses."

Bit ironic really because what you have just said is an old rumour information. What I said isn't

http://news.softpedia.com/n...

http://venturebeat.com/2013...

Top link is showing the "unlimited friends" was a rumour. The bottom link is about what Microsoft has just said

[TheFanboySlayer]

I just wanna know when did microsoft ever say "unlimited friends"??? Where is this info coming from?

[iamnsuperman]

They didn't. Look at my coment just about dorgan1 spam. The top link shows the unlimited friends was just a rumour. The bottom link is what Microsoft has confirmed through their twitter page

[Ezz2013]

what i noticed here in those few days
Xbox fanboys keep post Wrong Hot air comments with nothing to back it up
and i lso notice that there is too many xbox fanboys new and Alt accounts

[pixelsword]

I love that people are saying that 2,000 friends are too much, but unlimited friends is great. I never realized that unlimited meant 1,999.

[minimur12]

major nelson tweeted it..... but funily enough he typed it like

'unlimited'

https://twitter.com/majorne...

[THE-COMMANDER]

Exactly, But like you said 2000 is a LOT!

[Starbucks_Fan]

A cap would be useful for someone who is famous on YouTube for example. I know this is what happens on XBL anyway. Once they reach a cap. If someone wants to send a friend request, they will be blocked from doing so. This will probably prevent a bunch of message pop ups on the screen say "friend request."

[3-4-5]

Almost none of my real life friends play video games so I wouldn't even need 100 or 200 really.

The only way I could see it growing is if I joined a Team for BF4 or another game where your constantly playing matches against others.

I do a lot of single player or offline gaming as much as online.

[nosferatuzodd]

i think that's too much now it's like face book and i don't like that

[ssj27]

m$ will do one like this tomorrow answering questions about the ONE!

"how big is the XBOX ONE?"
and she bring's a VHS player next to the one hahaha that will be funny!!

[showtimefolks]

i have 15-20 now and will so 2000 is way too many lol

i would love to see someone with max out list haha

i am sure it will end up on youtube

[Prcko]

tell me song name plz

[aim4dabushiz]

o1shotkill... feel free to add me! or youtube me @ /Aim4dabushiz

[medman]

I don't know 2000 people, much less have 2000 friends. I find it funny when on facebook seeing people who have "thousands of friends". It would be a full time job just trying to respond to all these "friends" messages.

[Hellsvacancy]

I've got about 12 friends on my list, I actually game and chat with these cool mofos, I used to have people on my list that I never even spoke to or gamed with, i'll be watching something like Breaking Bad and DemonSlayer817 would appear "online" and distract me from what i'm doing, pointless having him on my list I thought, I deleted loads of people along time ago for reasons like that

So having 2000 friends is irrelevant to me

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

Lmao I feel ya. But I can most definitely see someone on PSN adding that many friends. It's going to be their own version of, "Facebook Famous? Well I'm PSN Famous Bishhh" Lol

I appreciate sony for giving us one less thing to stress about though honestly. Although, a bit overboard lol. On Ps3 I find myself deleting friends to add others like Family members and such.

[sergons]

What, only 2000? Pre order cancelled!

[Cable2kx]

Im sure he is joking..lol why the two disagree

[sergons]

people with no sense of humor )))

[Rivitur]

Too overwhelming imagine the amount of pop ups going on with 2000 friends...canceled then reordered.

[ziggurcat]

sometimes you really need to put the /sarcasm tag.

[T2]

wow does that really need the /s tag? reading comprehension is not strong here with these ones....
sergons comment made me lol.

[saikorican]

If you couldn't tell that he was being sarcastic from the comment then I'm afraid you may be a bit soft in the head.

[ziggurcat]

@ saikorican:

if you couldn't tell that i was commenting on the fact that there are 5 disagrees from people who either:

a) didn't get the sarcasm

or

b) are illiterate

then *you* are the one who "may be a bit soft in the head."

[nick309]

2000? Barely reached 100 doubt ill never need that much xD.

[tarbis]

Me too. I'm only reaching 100 "friends" bec of Toro's Friend Network. XD

[Blackdeath_663]

who knows maybe you get a fan base from streaming vid online? also with game like planetside if you join an outfit with lots of members you can easily fill up your friends list

[CaptainPunch]

Damn, personally I don't need more than 100. But 2,000 is pretty awesome.

[bonafide732]

yea i dont need more than 100 either
gets to be too much of a chore keeping up with everyone

[Minato-Namikaze]

Not really i have about 98 friends. i keep with everyone quite fine. Its not really that time consuming. I also know 70% of my friends list outside of the PSN so i may not need to talk to them as much on there.

[cyberninja]

She also said that dashboard will be customisable and i was glad to hear that as i'm a wallpaper junky and i like my homescreen nice and clean

[hollabox]

Troll bait post

[SaffronCurse]

more than enough tbh

[hennessey86]

2000, I have about 80 friends and only actively play with about 15 of them. Who the hell needs 200 friends.

[tanookisuit]

"Facebook Syndrome" I guess. Some friends are "friends", and such and such...

[Minato-Namikaze]

Always need space for a hot "sarah" on your list.

[Rivitur]

Screw Sarah my first friend is going to be Tom from MySpace.

[GreenRanger]

2000 more than I need.

[Hicken]

1999 more: gotta have that flute-sword-summoned ally on the list, right?

[Supermax]

Wow 2000 friend cap or 300,000 servers.tough choice.

[Hicken]

2000 real friends or 300,000 virtual servers.

Fixed that for ya.

[Darth Gamer]

Real friends huh, Ya, OK. I doubt you actually know 2000 real people. Fixed again!!

[MysticStrummer]

I have no need for a 2000 person friend list, but those 300,000 servers are virtual servers* shared with other products, not dedicated to XBL, and they aren't free to developers. EA and several others have their own servers so they're not likely to pay to use MS's.

*This is assumed because MS was asked and refused to answer.

[WeAreLegion]

I doubt we'll hear more about this until post-launch. Microsoft won't let this one out of the bag. Lol.

[Bzone24]

" *This is assumed because MS was asked and refused to answer. "

So then it isn't wrong to assume that the 4.5 gb ram rumor about Sony is true?

[MysticStrummer]

"So then it isn't wrong to assume that the 4.5 gb ram rumor about Sony is true?"

Assume what you want, but the RAM rumor was at least contradicted by other "insider" rumors quickly. The virtual servers rumor has been around longer without being debunked. MS was asked and refused to answer.

The same goes for the PS4's GPU advantage. MS fans say specs haven't been announced, but GPU comparisons have been out there since at least the first of this year without being debunked by MS or a developer. No one has even said "I can't give specifics, but that rumor is false." like they did with this recent RAM rumor. Instead we started hearing about the Cloud, which has also been debunked, at least in terms of adding power to the console.

MS saw how people were reacting to the One and made major changes to their stated business plan. You don't think they would have tried clarifying rumors first if they could?

[Monkeysmarts]

@Bzone24
Bad analogy there bud. There are no reliable insiders saying MS magical cloud is a legit 300,000 servers just for XBL. But there are reliable insiders and numerous developers who have come out saying the 4.5 RAM crap is not true.

[Bzone24]

I get it. Sony doesn't answer something it's safe to assume the rumor is false, Microsoft doesn't answer something it's safe to assume the rumor is true.

btw, I think the rumor is false too, it's just the hypocrisy here that is just amazing. We are talking about official statements on the subject. People saying its crap and then not saying what the real number is isn't really telling you anything.

[MysticStrummer]

@Bzone - You're ignoring what I said to make the point you want to make.

That's your business.

Peace and good gaming.

[T2]

@bzone - its not hypocrisy if its based on historical evidence. I'm not going to judge which company you should "trust" more but even in court there is a standard based on a person's character, when judging a company it is perfectly reasonable to view their track record in light of their trustworthiness.

[CRASHBASHUK]

and xbox one has 1000 limit and need gold to use cross game chat LOL

[mursumaki]

You can use private chat and you don't need gold for that.

[MasterCornholio]

Still doesn't change the fact that Microsoft is charging you for party chat while Sony is offering the feature for free.

I never understood why party chat has to be behind a pay wall in the first place. I can understand online multiplayer to some degree but party chat doesn't make any sense to me.

Motorola RAZR i

[mursumaki]

#MasterCornholio

Yeap. Even guy like me (MS Fan :P) think that charging people for TALKING to friends is really stupid.

[Cable2kx]

That explain that screen pics and video showing friends in folders with different titles.. I think this is awesome thats alot friends.

[Sevir]

Yeah, it's a nice touch that keeps it cohesive, and unified. Close Friends in a personal folder, and certain game centric friends in the respective folders. Witch is very innovative and necessary for such a large friend's list!

[Thatmattkid]

I would hazard a guess that the friend limit is in place to avoid piracy or hacking.

[Animal Mutha 76]

Good news but Id never need more than 200 tbh. Depends on your def of 'friends'.

[r21]

So the XMB becomes the Playstation Dynamic Menu? Interested to learn more bout that.

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

XMB, meet PDM :) your long lost brother arising from the darkness lol

[paracardium]

Well I've been building friends on ps since Socom1 and EQOA..that's along time..nice to play wth old friends from way back then from time to time.but I know I don't have 2000 but who knows how many friends you'll make this gen.

[Sarobi]

I've hit the max amount of friends at least twice this gen (had to delete some inactive ones), so it's good to hear that we won't have to worry about hitting caps (unless you are ultra-celebrity famous).

[DxTrixterz]

PS4= Social
Xbox One= Entertainment
Both= Gaming
For me social and gaming goes better together.

[Thunderhawkxbox]

Let me make it right for u Sony fan boy
Ps4 = social and gaming
Xbox one = social , entertainment and gaming

[Minato-Namikaze]

Little less gaming for the Xbone, if 2010-2013 are any indication of future plans.

[Sevir]

Lol, Right, Because The PS4 doesn't do movies shows and other multimedia features...

Xbox Fans are hysterical! They are Both Game consoles, both machines for mass entertainment, but only one had the gamers interest in mind first! Get over yourself...

[WeAreLegion]

Since you can't link your cable box through your PS4, you can no longer watch tv? Is that what you're saying? Why don't I just turn on my Wii U and watch cable through that?

...because it's a stupid feature. Nobody EVER uses it.

[M-M]

"Let me make it right for u Sony fan boy"

I lol'd so hard a this.

[_FantasmA_]

PS4: Games
Boner: TV
Wii U: Nintendo games

[Craigatorian]

You'd get these many friends if you'd go online in CoD and send friend requests to every person you meet

[acdata]

so this is how sony use its GDDR5 Memory
3.5GB/2000=0.00175GB or 1.792MB per friend :lol:

[bub16]

Didn't even fill up my PS3 friends list :( *forever alone*

[hankmoody]

That's just ridiculous. Even with the Xbox 360 currently capped at 100, my list is full of people that I've barely played with. 1000 is already way more than I need but 2000 is just silly to me. I don't know who would need an unlimited number of friends either but the fact that it's capped at all really doesn't make any sense.

[CoLD FiRE]

Its capped because there are idiots who would fill up their friend list with 1000s of people they would never play with. That would be an unnecessary load on the network.

[Theendgame]

I'm happy to hear that you don't need Ps+ for party chat and F2P games.

[AceBlazer13]

Currently no one needs that much "friends" but with next gen having lots of co-op and mmo your friends list might actually have ppl u game with now

[Stryfeno2]

2000? I don't even have that much friends and enemies in real life.

[farqy]

I imagine that the more ram dedicated to os in the cablebox 1 may have something to do with the unlimited friends and so on. I myself and I think many others would agree ram for gameplay is a much better use for it. besides who in the hell has more then 100 friends on there? Maybe 500 and even then your a friend whore who if asked wouldn't even know all the people on the list.

[Grown Folks Talk]

This will be the new trophy/achievement. Trying to max out your friends list. People will be adding folk they never interact with once just to say they have 1, 000/2, 000.

[FITgamer]

This is awesome, I currently have 184 friends across two accounts. I'll have room for both my "real gamer" friends and my COD whore friends on one account.

[Grown Folks Talk]

On an unrelated note, either she's tiny, it's the angle, or the PS4 is larger than I thought.

[JAMurida]

Still need more detail on the party chat, as in how many people will be able to be in a party chat, Can you use it while in-game, what new features will there be (being able to share video/screenshots in the chat), etc...

[punisher99]

Nice. But we all know the xbox1 is just gonna copy and follow and up theirs to 2000 now.

[InsaneGam3r]

Sony Fanboys: 2000 is waaaaay too much.

Sony Fanboys: Xbox have 1000 limit Lawl
----------------------------- -----

I don't even....

[theFLeXy]

i have been tweeting and sending emails to different departments within playstation asking them to please make the ability to group" your friends list on ps4. By this I mean that i can tag friends which will put them in a specific group: family, fps players, racing friends, madden buddies, gamebattles players, etc.... I went in to much greater detail and explanation in my emails but have never gotten a response...I really hope they implement somthing better then just a list of up to 2000 people that you cant't even remember why theyre on your friends list. can i get some agrees?

[Jeff257]

They have already stated you can group your friend's list by games. I'm pretty sure you could add groups for friends and family as well.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

so you probably have around x amount of real life friends, family members and acquaintances,. the rest are online acquaintances,.. 1000 is good for me ,. I like to know who they are, and that we have the same play-style. I just don't accept every friend invite I get. (I have 50, now on ps3, but having a mic and party chat,,{plus all my real life homies crossing back to Ps4} that list is going to get beyond 50)

@FLeXy
I think you can group by game/or genre. ,, it kind of looked that way in the new screenshots OS.

[AutoCad]

cool probably will only need like 10,since most of them grabbing an xbox

[SniperControl]

Lol, i must be billy no mates, i had 15 people on my PS3 list.
Mainly due to the fact i was never a big online player, hope to change that will next gen though.

[TheOneEyedHound]

You need a friend?

[SniperControl]

Lol, I need loads of friends on my list, hopefully will pick some up while online gaming and on here.

[dantendo]

I think you really got to question the quality of your friendships when counted in the thousands... At some point it is in your best interest to classify all of these low man on the totem pole friendships as strangers and move on.. Who gives a rats ass what your number of friends are, it just shows as an insecurity to the friend holder more then anything..

[i8urCAKE]

fuck a fake friend

[Patm82]

Sorry but Thats not enough! ;)

Has this story been approved or failed?

[TheOneEyedHound]

Yeah.... I won't need more than 100 friends or want more.

[MuhammadJA]

lol, who's gonna have a list of 2000 "friends"?

[cunnilumpkin]

that doesn't even cover all the sluts I need to game with on da regular, nevermind my homies

what about my hoes!!!!

[H3ADWOUND81]

Make way for snoop dogg!!!

[Lucreto]

A limit of 2,000!

I have 20 and I don't know 19 of them.

[My_Outer_Heaven]

2000 is more than enough.. I certainly don't know that many people.

[Hazmat13]

haha jokes on them i have no friends!

[1nsomniac]

...People will still moan about it.

[solidt12]

All of these games have been added to the PS4 Launch game list. All MMO's

Planetside 2
DC Universe Online
Blacklight retribution
Warframe
War Thunder

[Isis06]

I've got 10 friends on my PS3...

[H3ADWOUND81]

There is a distinct possibility ps4 will be tied into facebook more than people actually realise, which is a bad thing for me as I don't bother with it for being too intrusive..

[Ninjamonkey82]

lol way more than i needed i would have been happy with space for my close friends family and clan mates :)

[Relientk77]

I never filled up my PS3 friend list, so won't fill this one up, not even close lol

[Sizzon]

same here :P

[Godlovesgamers]

I never even hit the 100 friends cap on PS3, but o.k.

[vigilante_man]

Its like unlimited texts on mobile phones (cell phone - usa). They give you 3,000 or 5,000 texts a month but call it unlimited as they do not expect anyone to do that many.

They might as well call it unlimited but cap at 500. Guess with that many we will all want to turn off any notifications in-game. Just imagine trying to play your fave game but getting pop-ups every 2 mins about friends and messages.

Let's go with 500 for both!

[NukeDaHippies]

TRUE GAMERS HAVE NO FRIENDS!

[cell989]

for ever alone

[SITH]

Infinitely Lone Wolf!

[Cryptcuzz]

I don't ever see myself using up all 2000, but the more the better simply through option.

I can see this as a major plus for those that heavily use social media. Whether its Facebook, Youtube followers, celebrities, websites, Ustream, even individual game developers that have their own blog for example.

[Monkeyonfire13]

oh Damn thats alot! Cant wait to never fill that up lol

[Sizzon]

That's alot of friends, I have around 20 on PSN, but some of them I know in the real.

[Rhezin]

I know right?! I can't wait to never ask that many people to be my friend! That's gonna be so awesome!

[MEGAxPAIN]

Talk about overkill.

[the_hitman3000]

Some people don't like the idea but I think Clans's will benefit HUGE with this On MW2 I had my hole friends list filled with clan mates. Friends kept inviting their friends and at the time I was like I needed everyone on my clan on my list so if I needed a person I'd be fine but wouldn't you know it lol that didn't work good.

Obliviously I know not everyone will do that I'm just telling people I think for clan leaders they will see the benefit.

[Soldierone]

I could only see this being useful for people that do videos or live gaming stuff. Obviously they will fill 2000 friends fast.

The rest of us will be lucky to hit 100....

[turnerdc]

Overkill for me but still really cool though and hopefully they add convenient ways to organize your friends list.

[IQUITN4G]

SAD

[PSnation4]

its a good thing i guess.. with next gen more focused on multiplayer games it would be a lot easier to party with ur real friends/online friends who are also good at that game..than just partying with random people online and getting creamed

[_FantasmA_]

This is a non issue. I've never went over 50 friends and even with 40 friends or so, I still don't play with 99% percent of them. 2000 way more than I'll ever need.

[WeskerChildReborned]

Wow.....so anybody wanna be friends? :D lol

[PickAShoe]

I have one friend..... Q^Q

[Silly gameAr]

Man, people aren't tired of the PS4 vs. X1 noise yet?

[Zancruz]

Nope, people still arguing about the PS3 vs 360.... lol

[cell989]

thats way more than Ill ever need

[Mithan]

Anybody who cares about this is an idiot.

[Shad0wRunner]

Not true.

There are plenty of people who care about their friends list and how many people they can add to it. So many people tend to forget the fact that we are in a social age...where we have bloggers, facebook and twitter addicts, youtube authors. Gamers are becoming more social. They like playing games with their friends, online. Talking to them. Setting up clans.

It does seem like overkill, but at least we wont be complaining to Sony to up the ammount of friends we can add, on the PS4 anytime soon. I myself as well as others have complained more than once how the 100 friend limit cap wasnt enough on the PS3.

Glad this is a non issue now. ^_^

[Mithan]

You are an idiot if you think 2000 friends list makes or breaks a console.

It is irrelevant.

[Shad0wRunner]

Um no. Youre the idiot for making such a statement. I never said anything about a friends list making or breaking a console.

I suggested the 2,000 cap was a nice thing to have.

Stop trolling.

[hazardman]

You know what? I'm gonna try and get 2000 friends this gen. Not just anyone either, just cool gamers!

[jakmckratos]

Well.The amount of unused friend slots on my list will be equivalent to my birthyear...that's disheartening.

[hiredhelp]

Ha 2,000 that all i can fill that easy Looks around guys guys....

[dcortz2027]

That's still way under 9000!!

[Zancruz]

2000 friend list is nice and all, But I doubt I'll even break 100 friends... Not because I can't make friends, More like I delete people I don't play with or that's been offline for over a month... I've been playing with the same people for over 6 years.

[SITH]

Classic one upper move indeed.

[teezy]

I only want good friends, family and gamers I play regularly with on my friends list. I wouldn't even reach 50 let alone 2000

[Darth Stewie]

They still haven't confirmed what everybody really wants to know, is PS Home coming to the PS4?

[NeoTribe]

Yet another thing ps4 does better than xbox. Seriously, sony has beaten everything microsoft has done lol.

[jairusmonillas]

I have 1,001 online friends to play with so this is good news for me, ps4 would let me invite all of those 1,001 friends while someone will be left out on my xbox one friend list :(

[BLAKHOODe]

If you have 2000 friends on PSN, have yourself a cookie.

[kingPoS]

The camera can shoot in 3D... I called it! Now I just need to get a 3D TV, they've become quite affordable lately.

[optimus]

personally, they could cap it at 20 and it woudn't make a difference to me since i really only play with 3 and that's once in a blue moon...i would rather they put the resource to maintain 2000 friends to better use...here's an idea, why not let the user cap it off to their needs and if it falls under 30 then the user should get a discount on ps+ or xbox live.
