DC Universe Can’t Wait To Ditch The PS3

The PlayStation 4 is coming out soon and no one could be happier than the DC Universe Online team at Sony Online Entertainment. Don’t get them wrong, the current generation of Sony’s console hardware is nice enough, but with what is effectively a 220mb system the team is dealing with rather tight constraints. The unfortunate situation is that most of the players on DC Universe are playing via the console, so they are stuck with the limitations for the time being. In an interview with Shacknews, Executive Producer Larry Liberty explained that they can see the PS3 version being retired once a large portion moves over to the new hardware.

“I do expect that eventually, PS4 to come out, and probably be more successful than PS3 was as a platform. It wouldn’t surprise me if we do get a pretty quick migration, but we’ll keep servicing PS3 for a while.”

It will happen at some point, the question is simply when.

Playstation Plus Not Required For F2P/MMOs

So not everyone is all too thrilled that Playstation Plus is going to require an online subscription starting with the PS4. There is good news in all of this, however. Dual Shockers has discovered an interview with Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida, Sony Worldwide Studio President, where Yoshida confirms that there are special cases where games like free to play titles and MMOs will not require PS+ in order to play online.

You will need it to enjoy online multiplayer. This will also depend on the judgement by the publishers, and there will be some free to play titles that you’ll be able to play without needing a PS Plus subscription, like PlanetSide 2 and DC Universe Online.

Purchasing Playstation Plus on the PS4 will continue offering the same perks gamers receive on the PS3 and Vita now, including beta access, a laundry list of free titles updated each month, heavy discounts in the store, and more. Yoshida also notes in the interview that asynchronous gameplay may also be available to non-PS+ users, depending on what the publisher wants.
