Very excited, I hope Sony and publishers understand how to price the games better and what subscriptions to offer after this open beta

tbone5673573d ago

Does the update have EA Access like Xbox One.

sonarus3573d ago

ok. 2 dollars a day rental to price competitively with redbox would make 100x more sense

DeadRabbits3573d ago

EPIC!!!! EA Access Slayer!

thrust3573d ago

@deadrabbits EA access not on ps4 :/

Ares84HU3573d ago

If it's something like netflix, a monthly subscription of $10-$15 than I'd say, why not. But if you have to pay/game than they can stick it where the sun don't shine.

sonarus3573d ago

Eventually i believe a subscription model will develop for certain games kind of like ONLIVE.

Angels37853573d ago (Edited 3573d ago )

@tbone567

You realize it could have EASILY been on PS4..its not like EA picked Microsoft over Sony.

Here is the proof: Sony DENIED EA

Sony's Comments on EA: "We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect. PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200% since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price. We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer."

Full Article Explaining why Sony said no To EA access ON PS4: http://gamerant.com/sony-ea...

@below...Damage control when EA and sony both confirmed it? read the article before you look like a moron.

thrust3573d ago

Angels good damage control that, haha

reko3573d ago

Thrust and tbone ea sucks.

JoGam3573d ago

@ Angels, The other reason Sony didn't mention was that it is a conflict of interest. With Playstation Now coming why would Sony allow EA Access?

morganfell3573d ago (Edited 3573d ago )

@Angels, you realize tbopne's onl;y purpose is to troll. He isn't interested in minor issues such as facts or the truth. He only wants something that satisfies his ego and beleif that he is backing the right console. He is trying to ignore the fact that MS has told him one lie after another.

"It will not work without Kinect"

"We have no intention of selling the Xbox without Kinect"

You can add a hundred more. Yet he still believes whatever he is told. What does that say about such people?

Considering the size of the library we are looking at with PS Now, it really isn't much of a comparison, let alone a contest. EA versus the rest of the industry. Didn't people learn anything from BF4?

choujij3573d ago

@tbone567 Don't you worry about PS Now, because surely EA Access will save the Xbone! :P

OT: Can't wait to take this for a spin. 100 games is a great starting point. I hope the lag isn't bad with everyone jumping on board at once to test.

Mr_Writer853573d ago (Edited 3573d ago )

@Angels

Thrust can't read and makes stuff up.

He tried telling me COD Ghost was confirmed 1080p 60fps on X1.

CuddlyREDRUM3572d ago

You will still be paying fifteen dollars for a rental of a game that costs ten dollars used, at times.

EData3572d ago

Is EA Access MS's answer to PSNow? That would be lame of them, they should just make a streaming service for Xbox. I don't think Sony wanted EA Access...

nunley333573d ago

It already has over 80 games in it so i'll be checking out what new games get added. MGS4 is in there for $14.99 for 90 days, it's not a bad price if you only have a PS4.

XxExacutionerxX3572d ago

Oh my god $1.99 for 4 hours of gameplay, sony you are a genius. Playstation..Now is a failure. Beta or Not

AllAboutGaming3573d ago

It will be interested to see how much lag there is. I hope they beefed up their servers because there is going to be a ton of streaming starting tomorrow.

kneon3573d ago

I was using it a few weeks ago and played it non stop for a few hours several times over a week, there wasn't a single instance of lag.

I was quite surprised. My internet is quite fast and typically has very low latency, still I was expecting at least the occasional hiccup but it never arrived.

logan_izer103573d ago

hmm, I have fantastic internet and I'm wired, yet I get horrific latency to the point where it's unplayable. Perhaps their servers are just not location friendly for me

kneon3573d ago

I expect the servers are still in limited deployment, so it's not going to work well for everyone. But then no matter what there will always be people for which it just won't work well.

SoapShoes3573d ago

^ Same here. For me, personally, I get no noticeable lag. It's pretty cool, they just need to adjust the pricing model.

nunley333573d ago

you'll be pleasantly surprised at how fast these PSNow servers are.I never encounter any lag either but my PS3 has froze while playing at times, that should be expected . I'm not just talking how the game plays but everything like pulling your xmb in-game to synch or check trophies, sending messages, It's way faster than normal. Sending messages and bringing up the xmb is done without any loading, messages are sent instantly.

What Will The PlayStation 6 Look Like?

“While we haven't even begun to tap into the full potential of the PS5“

We always here this statement yet we have plenty of games that struggle to run at solid frame rates or decent resolutions.

Skuletor2d ago

The developers should know the limits of these consoles, especially this far into the gen. I'd blame them and possibly the publishers, pushing to make games as visually appealing as possible at the cost of resolution and frame rate, which is nothing new in the industry.

franwex1d 6h ago

I may skip next gen altogether probably. We will see.

Diablo IV is Available on PlayStation Cloud Gaming - Beats Xbox to the Punch

Hugodastrevas5d ago

Not for me, I'm 100% physical media all of the time.

jwillj2k45d ago

I hate that I have to keep calling this out, but your physical disks mean nothing if the game code attempts to connect to a server prior to playing.

Hugodastrevas5d ago

And that happens when? I'm playing completely offline here, stellar Blade to be more precise.
I'm sorry but I've never run into that imaginary problem you're talking about, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it has never happened to me.

jwillj2k45d ago

You not running into the problem yet has no bearing on my argument. You’re acting like the medium is the shield for you being able to always play your games when it effectively is not. The game code itself can try to connect to a server or the console you’re playing on may receive an update that requires that game to connect to a server. Just because you haven’t ran into it doesn’t mean anything lol you don’t own your games no matter how you try.

Hugodastrevas5d ago

So I have never run into the problem you're talking about and your answer is an hypothetical? Look I can play any game of my library offline right now without issue.
That issue is in your mouth and alone.

Crows904d ago

Actually...there's an easy way...don't connect. If it doesn't require a connection and you don't connect...the code can't update...obviously....confused why you don't get what he's saying.

outsider16244d ago

Hold on..lets say i dnt have an online connection, can i atleast play the game offline though. Was thinking of getting this

jwillj2k44d ago

None of you use your brains.

OK, let’s explore this playing offline. not talking about Diablo specifically just gaming in general.

Are you going to buy two PlayStations? One offline one online? If not, moment you want to play something that requires a connection you’re cooked.

Does game experience you love so much stay the same offline?

Is the game even playable offline?

The whole point of my argument is that we don’t hold the keys anymore. The gatekeepers are the developers and console makers regardless of whether it’s digital or physical. You altering your play style for a lesser experience is not a workaround, it doesn’t solve the overall problem.

None of this matters since the move to the cloud is inevitable.

spicelicka5d ago

So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.

MrNinosan5d ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka5d ago

That's streaming off your PS5, not from the cloud. This is specifically referring to cloud gaming.

CrimsonWing695d ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto5d ago

Sony doesn't yet have a web or app-based solution to stream games off their cloud service, the closest you may be able to get would be Remote Play if they allow cloud streaming during a Remote session.

And yes this applies to the Portal too.

Einhander19724d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Tacoboto

Please stop talking about PlayStation Streaming, you don't know what you're talking about.

I just explained this to you the other day where you were telling people that remote play was their only cloud solution, because apparently you didn't understand how PlayStation Premium works even though PS Now was a thing since shortly after the launch PS4..

You can stream to PC and Mac, and they had mobile clients for it in the past but probably for the same reason Microsoft is fighting Apple and Google PS Now wasn't allowed on App stores. Which is why it's not on iPhone and Android still.

And to be honest, I am glad they are trying to keep it on the console, all their moves away from the console seem like a step in the wrong direction, which isn't working so great for Microsoft...

anast5d ago

Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.

Crows904d ago

Well they're about to release the next season...I think that might be way they're pushing the game again.

anast4d ago

I mean I get what you are saying, but D4 isn't doing that well either.

UnbreakableAlex5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?

jwillj2k45d ago

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game. I had to use the mailbox cheats to keep it interesting.

Crows904d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Diablo 3 was really hard at launch....then they made it easy.

They love scaling difficulty though.

anast4d ago

D2 is the pinnacle. I still fire it up from time to time.

GrmpyolGamer 4d ago

Considering that the PS cloud steaming is garbage compared to XCloud and is limited to certain devices this isn't something to brag about. Wake me up when Diablo is on PS plus

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers16d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken16d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g16d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing16d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H916d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola16d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66916d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle16d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
