Used game blocking "up to developers" on ps4 as well

[MeachTheMonster]

Sony has confirmed that the digital rights management of PlayStation 4 software will be up to third-party publishers. Speaking on GTTV, Sony's Jack Tretton stated, "The DRM decision for third-party games will be up to publishers."
This clarification comes one day after Sony's E3 press conference this week, where Tretton stated that the PlayStation 4 "won't pose any new restrictions on the use of PS4 gamers." He continued, "We believe in the model that people embrace today with PlayStation 3."

So it looks like any games with used game blocking will be the same on both systems.

Wow I don't even know what to say

The correct way to handle it. SONY avoids the backlash by being clear that they are not the ones imposing restrictions and gives publishers the ability to do so if they wish (most wont)

It's already like this on the PS3/XBOX 360 anyway...nothing to really see here, but go on.

If it's offline, they can't do online DRM.

And Sony has always said this

I know you are scouring the web for anything to lessen the ether, but it aint changing shyt.

But carry on.....

Publishers of PS4 games, then, can do what's already done on existing PlayStation software: Limit or lock content behind online passes or redemption codes (or opt out of restrictions altogether), which differs from Microsoft's limited licensing of Xbox One software.

i'm gettin some good laughs this afternoon

Ya'll are pathetic. It's already like this on PS3.

Try harder it is exactly the same as it is on the Ps3. There is a difference between MS doing it system wide and automatically being built in and on PS4 having publishers having to create and maintain their own servers to keep track of DRM. Lets see how far they can get with it on Ps4 when the system doesn't have to go online.


Back to yall's cave

The Sony conference made you belive there would be no used games blocking or Drm on their machine period.

This is not true if a publisher wants to block used games or force drm on ps4 they can. Same with Xbox.

The 24 hour check in has nothing to do with used games it's only there to make sure you aren't installing the same disc on a bunch of different systems.

I see intelligence and reading comprehension is something that Xbots in this thread seem to lack?

No, what they basically said is that today's model, with online passes and the like, will continue.

Spin doctors tryna

In this case you are worse off. Microsoft has a history of server reliability individual publishers not so much. I'd rather need to check in with proven well funded/supported servers than random publisher ones.
