tw34kfr34ky Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I hope and think it will just keep going with ps4 games added or different kinds of subscription Would hate to lose all the games i collected thru plus if it stops all of a sudden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidIroquois Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Most likely PS Plus will just carry over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have trouble believing PS plus will carry on in it's current form - It would not make sense if you could get free games for all 3 systems - maybe an upgrade to also have free PS4 games ? but also probably will not be released on console release (the same as Vita) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenguy81 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It took roughly a year for plus to appear on the Vita and I expect the same to happen for the PS4 as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis001 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think PS plus will carry over to the PS4 or they'll start something similar or they'll add a new thing. Would be stupid really to stop it if it brings them money, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudyMemory2 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I wonder what will happen to PSN in general. I reckon it'll keep running for the PS3/PS4 transition period, but once the PS4 takes over? What about our digital purchases on PSN (since the PS4 won't support them)? What about all the patches? I guess a time will come when our old PS3s will be just offline pieces of junk that only play broken games that don't get supported/patched anymore.

But that will take years anyways, and I`m sure people won`t jump on the ps4 instantly, only them hardcore gamers. A few years and its price will go down anyways, and there will be many games on it, thats when its good to buy it. So yes, few years and ps3 will die too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is though, with all the previous generations the games were dependent solely on that one piece of hardware. If you have your old consoles and your games, you can still play them today no problem. With the PSN though, not only will your digital purchases cease to exist (possibly) but even your physical media will be playable only in their original form as printed on disc. Imagine playing something like Skyrim on the PS3 without being able to download the multitude of patches that make the game at least playable I guess buying those games again and streaming them through their cloud service will be the new thing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONUOsFan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It took roughly a year for plus to appear on the Vita and I expect the same to happen for the PS4 as well Nah, the PS4 and PS+ are both too important for them not to have it available on day 1.

As long as Sony continues to sell PS3s, they will continue to support it. I'm sure PS3s will still be around in the stores for 2 or 3 years. They just recently stopped producing PS2s, after all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nah, the PS4 and PS+ are both too important for them not to have it available on day 1. Can't see many devs/publishers wanting to do day-1 freebies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner49 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I would sure hope they keep this on the PS4 in some form or another. It wouldn't make sense for them stop these services or to start all over from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONUOsFan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Can't see many devs/publishers wanting to do day-1 freebies Fair point, although that's no reason they can't still do the cloud storage, discounts on some small downloadable games, etc. And it wouldn't surprise me if there were new PS+ features that are specific to the PS4's new social functionality as well. Also, I'm not sure how much the devs really have to do with it. If Sony wants to do free games on day 1, they could still pay the devs for them even if they're not getting any money (which, I assume, is what's happening now).

Skippy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm sure Playstation plus or something similar will be on the PS4. I hope so because all the free games, plus discounts you get for being a plus member is real value for money and it would be a shame if they didn't have that in the future.

MatCauthon Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 From what I understood, there were going to be different tiers available for a plus-like service. I believe this had something to do with the eventual streaming of older titles, and that there would be a package that included that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hislose Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 You know Sony is pretty much poor and desperate for money right now (hence the PS4 announcement). I hope we do not have to pay for our online services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God that would suck to have all the patches for games just be completely obsolete. This is not only something Sony needs to consider, but all newer consoles that want to push all this online support shit. People will continue to play their older games on their older consoles like they always have, however, NONE of those systems required online or any kind of patches. Basically, imo, they either need figure this out fast. Otherwise, it's not looking good for the future of gaming (as if it has? ) Edited March 13, 2013 by daftprophet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think we'll see some features (some of the social things, possibly) only be able to be used if your a PS+ member. Maybe things like uploading your game play or maybe even the feature where you can jump into other peoples game in play for them. Regardless of what Sony does, I'm sure we'll have PS+ on the PS4 in one form or another. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 PS+ will probably evolve into something else, I don't see SONY ignoring the oportunity of selling features for the PS4 in some way, but the current PS+ needs to stay because the Vita supports it, and the PS3 is going to stay for 2-3 more years.

Pipsqweek Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 PS+ isn't going anywhere, it's already confirmed that PS+ will play a major part in the PS4 lifecycle. If they go for the tiered membership system (which I think they will) then I will be interested in those details and prices. http://uk.gamespot.com/news/playstation-plus-will-have-prominent-role-on-ps4-6404683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It took roughly a year for plus to appear on the Vita and I expect the same to happen for the PS4 as wellI'd bet money that this statement is correct. No way is it all just going to come at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOZTPRIME Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I think it's gonna keep going on PS3 for a few more years...The PS4 PS Plus launch will probably be like the Vita launch with very little free games and some games trickling in the months that follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphon_Filter Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 As they said. It will carry over to the PS4 so, even if you have now PS PLUS and the PS4 comes out let say this year which it will for sure. Your membership it will still be active.
