PS4 Revealed

[the dark side]

@ Scraper, i posted this before, but, i will re-iterate, the more people know what is going on, the better.

It has been confirmed at Arstechnica, The Escapist, Kotaku, and even IGN, by a Leak in the industry that You cannot play used games On PS4 or xbox720, nor can you rent games for them, As you will need a single use DRM passcode for the game to even work at all, they will only be supplied with brand new full price purchases, and according to current information from the leak, new ones will NOT be available to purchase online, loose the code, and the game will never work again, so you will have to buy a new copy to get a new code.

according to a leak on Arstechnica, games will be priced between $60-$100.

720 will require you to pay to play online as with 360, PS4 will also probably demand the same, unlike PS3, seeing as the PS4 uses the exact same DRM system as 720. A DRM system that has been co developed By Electronic Arts.

To make matters worse, it has been confirmed by the leak that the consoles both use ALWAYS ON DRM, wich means, as you have to pay to use the internet on them, well, you can quess what that will cost a month! if it even works half the time, as i said, the DRM programme has been developed by Electronic Arts, who are Not the last word in production Quality at the moment. To make matters worse, should your internet go down, thats it, your game collection is kaput until the internet connection is restored!

there are also Reports on Kotaku, that the Majority of Next Gen games will also contain, NO single player mode and will be 100% social Multiplayer based, witch will included the use of Iphone apps, wich, again, will need to be paid for with monthly subscription fees.

PS4 And 720 also, and this has been confrmed, have NO backwards compatabilty.

it has also been leaked that you also need to PAY with micro-transactions for patches to fix bugs and glitches in the games on PS4 and 720. not good as the average "AAA game" needs patching ten times in its first month because its rushed out.

beleive me, these consoles are designed with only one purpose in mind, to Fleece anyone stupid enough to purchase them for every last cent. because face it, to willingly allow yourself to be Fleeced, is pure, unquestioble, Intellectual Stuntification to a Moronic Degree.

for the good of the games industry, boycott these consoles, or its just going to become some American megacorps fleecing pit., dont allow Sony and Microsoft to become a real life OCP... dont purchase the systems until they drop the unfair and expensive DRM and Pay for Patches ideas completly, along with ruddy DLC! or gaming will end up as the preserve of only those rich enough and stupid enough to purchase all the DLC, all the patches, and pay the internet fees. the WRONG kind of elitism!
