Guys about PS+.
Can someone clarify about this.

For Sony first-party game that have online play(multiplayer), is it free to play without PS+?
Or do you need?
I know that third party games that have online play will require PS+.

Just want some clarification and I heard PS+ is worth the value so might think about getting it.

The creators of Oddworld and DayZ have spoken out about why they are keener to see their games on Sony's PlayStation 4 rather than Microsoft's Xbox One.

In interviews with Eurogamer, Lorne Lanning and Dean Hall revealed why their games are more likely to be on Sony's console, at least for the time being.

First up Lanning, who as the boss of Oddworld Inhabitants helped launch the original Xbox back in 2001 with Munch's Oddysee, explained that he doesn't agree with Microsoft's policy requirements, specifically the fact that the company won't allow self-publishing, unlike Sony.

"There are those who are looking at next quarter's profits, and maybe one of these big guys looks like that's all they're doing right now," he explained. "There's one party that's making it very clear they're not interested."

“Who's in touch with their audience? And who seems out of touch with their audience? All we know is we've tried to get our games on their platform and we can't do it.

"For Xbox One [Microsoft has] granted us a license for New 'n' Tasty! but they still say you need a publisher. We don't have a publisher so we're not officially on the platform, even though we're compatible, even though we'll be ready to do it. Period.

"Why do we need a publisher when we self-finance our games, we build our own IP, we manage our own IP and we've turned nearly two million units online as indie publishers sold – not free downloads? Why? What's wrong with us?

"Who's in touch with their audience? And who seems out of touch with their audience? All we know is we've tried to get our games on their platform and we can't do it – and I even helped them release the box."

So it seems for now that Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty won't be coming to the Xbox One or 360, and DayZ creator Dean Hall has similar views when it comes to his plans for the standalone version of his popular mod.

"Yeah, we talked to both of them," he revealed. "But, as I'm sure you're aware, Sony lets you self-publish and they don't make you pay for updates. Microsoft requires you to have a publisher. They have no digital distribution strategy and they require you to pay $10,000, or whatever it is, for updates.

"We like [Sony]. I like what I saw on the PS4. I like what I saw on the Xbox in a lot of cases as well. I'm not s***ting on them. I'm kind of hopeful that Microsoft has just forgot to talk about its indie support. Maybe I'm being a bit naive."

I hope the pricing for PS4 games still remain the same.

Probably will be the same. It cost the same to make the physical disc for PS4(bluray). And Amazon got all launch PS4 titles listed at 59.99 with a Price guarantee tag next to them.
X1 games are the same at 59.99 but with no price guarantee.

I think both console price will be the same.

Just paranoid that maybe there will be a slight price increase.

For those who didn't pre-order on Amazon in time for a launch system, they've added launch bundles for Battlefield 4, Killzone, Watch_dogs and Knack.

I'm not sure which one I want though. :|
