UPDATE: More relief... At a roundtable this morning, Sony's game studios chief, Shuhei Yoshida, told reporters that any requirement for users to register a game online in order to play it would be left to game publishers. Sony won't require that.

The publishers are gonna do it. Three big games are already rumored to have the requirement. Battlefield, watch dogs and Assasins Creed 4

PS4 does not have an always online requirement

neither does the xbox

More to the point, I think that an always-on Xbox is directly in keeping with Microsoft’s strategy for all next-generation platforms, including Windows Phone (all versions) and Windows 8/RT, which are designed to work as if you are simply connected all the time. Yes, they do work offline, of course. But the apps platform on these systems—which will be replicated on the Windows 8-based next Xbox—assumes a connection. Microsoft’s new platforms are integrated conduits for online services.

TYRONE GA!
Im certain this is false, but keep believing bullshyt rumors and lies if you want something to be upset about.:snoop:

Too many mufukkaz keep confirming it though. Hopefully it's something they can and will change their mind on because if not then this is hands down the dumbest shyt I've ever seen. Giving people with no Internet access the middle finger is insane. Then if your Internet goes down, and then you can't even play games you bought?

first off, Im not on no console stan gay bs that some of these nerds be on

Im coming from a pure business standpoint

how is xbox gonna recover from the PR disaster that is requiring an always on connection?????

secondly, I do belive that people will buy PS4 over XBOX just because of the lack of internet requirement

I think xbox has marginalized its audience with this move

I sit in business meetings 3 days a week. What baffles my mind if all I am hearing is true about the new xbox and I cant believe somebody in their business meetings didn't smack who ever came up with these idea's.

They have already lost a certain micro segmentation of people do to charging for online, now there further alienating possible clients with the always on connected to internet. Hopefully if these rumor are true and they see the bad press generated already they would go back to the drawing board.

Hey idiot TS, the PS4 will be always on as well. Stop spreading lies fakkit.

You're misinformed.

PS4 Will Not Require An Always-Online Connection [UPDATE]

In an interview with Eurogamer at yesterday's big PS4 unveiling in New York, Sony's head of worldwide game studios, Shuhei Yoshida said, of PS4 gaming, "Oh yes, yes, you can go offline totally. Social is big for us, but we understand there are some people who are anti-social! So if you don't want to connect to anyone else, you can do that."

They both gonna be "always online". Only difference is Sony is leaving it up to the publishers. That way, Sony won't have to take the blame when the fukkery occurs. Best believe every EA title for example will be "always online" on PS4.

I believe EA are the ones that are fukking this gen over but its Microsoft who went all the way and bent over.
