E3 2013 Thread

Will PS+ still have free offers though? Not sure if they elaborated on that.

I also wonder with some games going on both PS3/PS4, are they going to be cross platform online? That'd be pretty cool.

They confirmed Drive Club was free for PS4 owners with PS+ at launch, aswell as confirming a handful of free indie games after that. So yeah, seems like it.

However I can't say I'm too pleased about having to pay for PS+ to play online multiplayer, but if that's the only thing I have to worry about I'll take it. I mean, it's better than M$ online requirement where you'd have to pay to be online anyways.

PS+ is, to me, a given. Rolling multiplayer onto it doesn't really affect me, since I don't really do that on consoles, but I've been sold on it for the free game, automatic updates, and so on already.

MS does seem to be trying to make Gold more on par with it though.

Does PS+ include the cloud service? I wasn't sure if that was extra.

If so, basically if you're buying PS+ anyways for the online multiplayer, you should be able to play your PS3 games through cloud, correct?

Did the Nintendo Direct start yet?

It is trying to load. They typically start 10ish after the marked start time for technical reasons.

I don't think so. The Nintendo live stream site is spazing out at the moment...

I'm not sure about new stuff for PS4 or the possible game streaming for backwards compatibility or whatever. Have they actually given specifics for that?

I'm considering it more from the standpoint of what it gives me now with my PS3(s) and Vita. With those, you do get cloud storage for saves in the list of features, but just in general, I feel like the service is worth the money. Whereas, for me, XBL Gold was not.

Mario 3D World looks fun and all, but it's probably the least interesting way I could imagine to follow up Mario Galaxy with.
