The PS4 will share the PS3's ability for publishers to lock certain content behind a paywall.
This opens up the possibility for the continuation of online passes but will not lead to Xbox One style content blocking.
"The Online Pass program for PlayStation first-party games will not continue on PlayStation 4,” Sony communications director Dan Race told Gamefront. “Similar to PS3, we will not dictate the online used game strategy (the ability to play used games online) of its publishing partners.
“As announced last night, PS4 will not have any gating restrictions for used disc-based games. When a gamer buys a PS4 disc they have right to use that copy of the game, so they can trade-in the game at retail, sell it to another person, lend it to a friend, or keep it forever."
EA has of course scrapped its online pass and will not re-introduce it.
There is one possibility that could conceivably haunt Sony – third party publishers could prove hesitant to release titles on the console when its rival platform, the Xbox One, offers them the ability to take full control of their software licensing activity.
Again, however, the consumer will prove the deciding factor here. This risk will be multiplied greatly should Xbox One perform as well as or better than PS4 on the market. If Sony's machine enjoy stronger sales, however, third parties would be effectively forced to fall in line.
All of which presumes that publishers harbour intentions to exploit Microsoft's infrastructure to block pre-owned. None have yet gone on record with the notable exception of Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot. The publishing boss admits that decisions have not yet been made but suggests that many will shy away from a potential pre-owned block.

 Third party publishers will have the choice to introduce DRM on second-hand PS4 games, just as they can on Xbox One, according to SCEA boss Jack Tretton.CVG reports that in a GTTV interview, Tretton stated: “The DRM decision for third-party games will be up to publishers.” Tretton did, however, reinterate that firstparty titles would not be subject to DRM.“When a gamer buys a PS4 disc, they can trade in, sell it to a friend, or lend it, keep it forever,” he added. “PlayStation 4 disc games don’t need to be connected online to be play, or any type of authentication. PS4 won’t require you to check in.”We have contacted Sony for clarification.Update: Sony has issued a statement on the matter to GameInformer:The Online Pass program for PlayStation first-party games will not continue on PlayStation 4. Similar to PS3, we will not dictate the online used game strategy (the ability to play used games online) of its publishing partners. As announced last night, PS4 will not have any gating restrictions for used disc-based games.

"E3 is turning into Bizarro World this year. Sony has not only promised that the PS4 will support used games without an online connection, they trolled the Xbox folks hard with this . Compounding the silliness, and hot on the heels of the political firestorm surrounding Donglegate, Microsoft went forrape jokes during their Xbox presentation."Similarly, onyxruby writes"The Verge covers how Sony has crafted policies explicitly to make the PS4 consumer friendly to the public. They make the case that the PS4 will be superior in nearly every way [to the Xbox Next] by not requiring an Internet connection, not restricting used games, supporting indie developers and selling for $100 cheaper than the Xbox One."And if you're interested in the guts rather than the policies or the politics, Hot Hardware has a comparison of the internals of both of these new offerings.

Sony opened its E3 press conference by asserting that 2013 will be the year the Vita comes into its own.
"Vita is just beginning its life cycle,' said Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, later adding; "It's clear that people love their Vita when they get their hands on it.'

Tretton confirmed that 60 per cent of all Vita tile purchases are made in the PlayStation store, suggesting that it is succeeding as planned as a digitally-focused platforms.

Worldwide Studio boss confirms that Sony’s next console without be region locked
PS4 will be region free and will come with a 500GB upgradable hard drive, it has been confirmed.
Shuhei Yoshida, Sony’s Worldwide Studio president, revealed the news on Twitter hours after Sony’s E3 briefing.
Following last night’s Sony press conference, more details on PS4 have emerged, including its form factor, lack of built-in DRM and the option to play used games on any console.
Xbox One also comes with a 500GB hard drive, however, it has confirmed that that will be non-removable.
As for region locking, Sony is so far the only console manufacturer that has maintained region free for all of its current and upcoming machines. Both Nintendo’s 3DS and Wii U are region locked, while report suggest that Microsoft’s Xbox One will be region locked, or will at least leave it up to developers to implement.

 There were plentiful games on show at Sony’s E3 conference, though they were overshadowed a little by the PS4 price announcement and the news that it won’t be always-on or block second-hand games.The Order: 1886, a new title from Ready At Dawn and Sony Santa Monica, was perhaps the most surprising. It’s a PS4-exclusive game set in Victorian-era London, “where myths and technology co-exist.”Avalanche’s Mad Max game confirmed the rumours that had been swirling around for months. No gameplay footage was shown, but we did discover that it would be arriving on Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One and PS4 next year.Square always muscles in on a platform holder conference with a few announcements, and this was no exception; we saw Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 for the first time, plus confirmation that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn was also coming to PS4, having been recently dated on PS3 and PC.Back to more familiar titles, and early on in the conference we were told that Sony and Rockstar are partnering on a new PS3 GTA V bundle in time for the game’s release in September.We also saw an impressive line-up of indie games coming to PS4 first; the full list is here, but the highlights included a remake of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, entitled Abe’s Oddysee: New N’ Tasty, Supergiant Games’ Transistor, Octodad and horror game Outlast from Red Barrels.There was also more footage from previously-announced titles like including Batman: Arkham Origins,Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs. Firstparty trio DriveClub, Knack and Infamous: Second Son were also part of the show.Bungie’s Destiny concluded Sony’s conference, showing gameplay footage for the first time and bringing with it vague promises of a release sometime in 2014 and a longterm partnership between platform holder and developer, which will help PlayStation “evolve and grow” alongside the openworld shooter.

Sony to begin rolling out cloud gaming services next year
Cloud streaming service Gaikai will allow the streaming of a select number of PS3 games on the PS4 from the start of 2014.
Announcing the news at its E3 press conference, Sony said that the service wouldn’t be available straight away at the console’s launch, but would arrive at a later date.
The service will go live in the US first, and offer a limited range of PS3 games. Vita streaming will also be offered later next year.
Sony also said it would eventually deliver console quality “across a range of devices”.
Sony forked out $380 million for Gaikai last year, and the cloud streaming service is expected to eventually play an integral role in how the PS4 operates.

Self-publishing message emphasised as numerous indies take to the stage
Sony has demonstrated a convincing commitment to indie at its E3 press conference, calling numerous independent developers to the stage as it insisted that small studios and self publishing are vital to the PlayStation 4.
Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida opened the discussion of indies at the event.
"We are amazed and inspired by the passion of these small teams," he said, before handing over to Adam Boyes, VP of third party relations at SCE.
"Cultivating a wide variety of game experiences is in our blood," Boyes stated. "We absolutely love scouring the earth for inspirational indie developers"
Boyes reiterated that the PlayStation 4 also enables self-publishing for indies; seemingly making a nod to Microsoft's unpopular lack of support of self-publishing for independent teams.

Console giant will not restrict pre-owned market in any way, says Tretton
A wave of cheers echoed around the E3 conference room as Sony announced it would not be blocking pre-owned games in anyway on the PS4.
In what appeared to be a direct response to the controversies surrounding Microsoft’s Xbox One, SCEA president Jack Tretton said there would be absolutely no restrictions on used games.
This means that consumers will be able to sell on games they have bought, and also loan them to friends.
And in an effort to ease minds over potential always-on requirements, he also said that a PS4 does not need to be connected online for users to play their games, and there will be no authentication codes either.

Sony targets lower price point for next generation console
Sony has revealed the price tag for the PlayStation 4 console.
The PS4 costs $399, £349 in the UK, or €399 elsewhere where relevant.
Microsoft revealed its price point earlier today, with the Xbox One fetching a $499 price tag in the US.
This puts the PS4 a full $100 cheaper than the Xbox One, with cross-platform compatibility with the Vita and no restrictions on used games.
On the other hand, a PlayStation Plus subscription of $5 a month is now required for online multiplayer games, but one account will cover PS3, PS4, and PS Vita, and comes with the same discounts and free games the service is known for.

 Tekken Revolution was revealed earlier today by a trailer tucked away 19 minutes inside of a video segment on Gamespot. The game, which is both free-to-play and a PlayStation 3 exclusive, will be available this Tuesday, June 11. Aside from the fact that Paul, Bryan, Kazuya and Lars are all featured in the footage shown, little else is known.
Tekken ringleader Katsuhiro Harada previously dismissed an Australian Classifications Board listing for the title as being in reference to a new version of Tekken Card Tournament. That, coupled with the fact that no user interface is shown in the Revolution footage, is enough to keep us from assuming that this is a fighting game – it could just as easily be a high-def, ultra-pretty version of Namco Bandai's existing, mobile free-to-play competitive card game set in the Tekken universe.
With E3 breathing down our necks, we expect to learn more soon.
