Dealspwn: The PlayStation 4 will bring about a variety of different publishing opportunities. Free-to-play is one such model that has been mentioned in the past, and as it turns out, this is something that Sony is pursuing.
I'd like to see free to play games but more than that, I hope they adopt a policy to find the middle-ground between retail games and current nickel and dime methods where obtaining even a small portion of what the game offers can cost you more than hundreds of dollars. I say it's okay if you'd like a blue colored laser pistol for a few dollars and nothing else from the game, but there could be something like a 40-50 usd fee that gives you all the goodies and upcoming dlc for a year, after which you keep the DLC, but not anything newer. This would be a nice balance for people who don't want to pay for a full experience vs people who'd like more from the game.
I expect DC Universe will be there, in a new iteration. From what I've heard, though, there will be no transferring of characters from the PS3 version.
.. which means I'll be on PS3 for some time longer, even if I DO get a PS4 at launch, like I want.
Bring league of legends to ps4 # would be nice for those who can play it in a decent pc -dota 2 too- I know a lot of people dont like this pc kind of games, but many cuz never had the time to try them.. I never though that kind of game could be so fun, and now i expend most of my time playing league.
Planetside 2 definitely coming. Can't wait to hear about it.

All aboard the micro transaction bandwagon.
