"We definitely see that as a core part of the way forward. We're not yet in a position to disclose our plans for the future of PlayStation Plus, but there will definitely be a prominent role to play for it in the PlayStation 4 landscape."

Sony will launch the PlayStation 4 with a price tag below $400, predicts an industry analyst.
 Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia contests that Sony will have learned from its mistakes when it launched PS3 at $600, which hindered the console uptake in its early life."Given that experience, we believe Sony will aim to keep the price point for PlayStation 4 below $400," said Bhatia, via Gamespot.
This supports predictions by Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter, who estimated a PS4 launch price of around $349, alongside an approximately $399 Xbox One.
Even at that price, Pachter thinks Sony could still make a profit on each console, estimating that it will cost Sony around $275 to manufacture each PS4.
But Bhatia predicts that Sony will target a sub-$400 launch price even if it means taking a loss on each console sold.
Like Pachter, Bhatia also appears to expect the Xbox One to be more expensive than PS4, later adding that a launch price below $400 for the Microsoft console would be a "pleasant surprise".
It has been previously rumoured that Microsoft will launch with a two-tier pricing system; a one-off payment of $500 or, taking cues from the mobile phone business, an initial charge of $300 subsidised by a 24-month commitment of $15 per month - which includes Xbox Live.
Platform holders aren't expected to reveal pricing details at E3 next week, but Microsoft has already pledged to focus its E3 presence on games as oppose to the multimedia it spotlighted at its Xbox One reveal event. While Sony is expected to offer the first glimpse of the actual PS4 hardware.

Microsoft revealed some details of how "game licensing" works on its upcoming Xbox One console, and included the tidbit that "Loaning or renting games won't be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners." In response, Redbox has launched a site called GamingFuture.net, which is ostensibly a place for gamers to express what excites or concerns them about next-gen gaming. It should also help provide a base for Redbox to defend its $2 per night videogame rental business. Interestingly, Redbox and Microsoft would appear to already be close "partners", since the former launched an Xbox 360 app for its Redbox Instant service earlier this year.
There are links on the page to various reports about the Xbox One and PS4, plus a simple comment section for the public to chime in. GameTrailers reports the company messaged members of its "Text Club" service an alert about the new site, along with tweeting it from the official account. We've seen similar strategies employed during negotiations over cable channels, we'll find out more this week about what Microsoft and Sony's new hardware means for the game rental market -- and how the public responds.

Thor Gunnarsson on the success of the EVE Online spin-off
CCP
ccpgames.com
CCP's vice president of business development has suggested that EVE Online spin-off Dust 514 is boosting sales of the PlayStation 3 console.
"We already see that Dust 514, during open beta, had been driving hardware sales for Sony. We actually track that together," Thor Gunnarsson told Destructoid.
"We so know that our fan base, Dust-curious players, are buying the PlayStation 3 to get into our game."
Dust 514 entered open beta, exclusively on PlayStation 3, on January 22 and was officially released on May 14. The game is free-to-play and scored 61 on Metacritic.
"What we hear, anecdotally, is that PlayStation 3 sales are increasing. Sony have done a phenomenal job of managing console transitions, like they did with the PlayStation 2's cost and size reductions. We can make the logical assumption that something similar will happen as the PlayStation 4 comes to market."
GamesIndustry International recently spoke to David Reid, CCP's chief marketing officer about both EVE and Dust 514.
"The thing about Dust is not the shiniest guns or the perfect shooting mechanics; it's about this meta-game, and the persistence, and the customisation, and we do think that we're doing that better than anybody else. It won't be for everyone. It won't be the EVE learning curve, but it certainly won't be the Call of Duty learning curve, either. It won't be everyone that figures this out right away, but it doesn't have to be either."

The official website for Dragon's Dogma Quest is live, broadly confirmingyesterday's report from Game Jouhou. Quest is a 2D online-only, free-to-play RPG for Vita, coming to Japan via PSN this fall. Regards whether or not it's winging its way west, a Capcom spokesperson told Joystiq "At present Dragon's Dogma Quest is only confirmed for release in Japan and we are currently evaluating if the title will be released in pan-western markets."
As before, Quest begins with the hero character's heart being stolen by a dragon – biology be damned. The hero finds another heartless victim in a wizardly-looking woman called Lota, and together the pair trek towards home as they begin their quest to retrieve their tickers.
While it's unclear if Quest's story follows on from the original Dragon's Dogma, the Vita RPG features returning non-player characters like the knight Julien, Captain Mercedes of the Enlistment Corps, and Black Cat storekeeper Mountebank. One screen shows Mercedes in dialogue, with what looks like a hand-drawn background of a country village behind her.
As previously reported, the hero employs a party of pawns that go into battle - it's unclear if the hero's involved in combat or is more like a commander. The party size is increased to eight, with a maximum of four player pawns and four pawns from friends. The website reveals several of the 150-plus pawn vocations in Quest, including the poison archer, arc guardian, gatherer, and rogue.
It remains unclear how exactly combat adapts from 3D to 2D in Quest. The pawns-orientated combat of Dragon's Dogma, particularly in terms of formulating strategies for the larger beasts, was a key component of that game. We're curious to see how it works in Quest, particularly given there are so many vocations to choose from.

NBA 2K14 will be available on October 1 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Versions made for Xbox One and PS4 are also in the works for their launches, SVP of Basketball Operations at 2K Sports Jason Argent confirmed on a conference call earlier today.
"We are not doing a Wii U version this year," Argent said. "The decision was made internally." Argent added studio didn't have enough resources to pursue a Wii U port while also developing for next-generation consoles. Though next-generation and current generation versions of NBA 2K14 will have "some overlap," they will be "distinct."
"The common thread, of course, is the game first and foremost is based on simulation basketball," Argent said. "Both current and next-gen will be distinct, unique experiences."

It's because of fan reaction to the possibility of the game's release that the title will be localised."Your voices helped make this happen," Sega brand manager Aaron Webber explained on the company's blog.

Two of Sony Online Entertainment’s MMO titles have been confirmed for PS4.
Licensed superhero outing and existing PS3 titles DC Universe Online as well as the until-now PC only multiplayer shooter Planetside 2 are both scheduled for a release on Sony’s new machine.
The MMO genre was once touted as one of the big hopes for the current generation of machines. But a handful of largely unsuccessful releases aside, it simply never happened.
However, free-to-play multiplayer gaming has staged a fightback of sorts on PS3 with the release of titles such as CCP’s Dust 514 and the multiplayer component of Sony’s own Killzone 3.
Will PS4 and Xbox One deliver the new platform for MMO and free-to-play gaming that consoles have promised for so long?

A new Dragon's Dogma game is reportedly coming to Japan, but it sounds a fair bit different to its predecessor. According to Game Jouhou (via Gematsu andSiliconera), this week's Famitsu magazine announces Dragon's Dogma Quest, a 2D free-to-play, online-only RPG for the Vita, due in Japan this fall.
Going by Game Jouhou's report, Quest once more pits players as Arisen, and the Arisen commands a party of pawns who go into battle. Parties can comprise a maximum of eight pawns, including four of the player's, and four from friends. Just imagine all those repeated phrases - "This looks interesting!" - but in stereo (hopefully not).
Quest again sees players explore a world of towns, dungeons, enemies, and side-quests. On the vocations-side, Quest features a far greater selection, with over 150 jobs included. It's unclear what exactly's tied to microtransactions, but they're apparently for assisting players who don't have lots of time to play the game.
We've reached out to Capcom for confirmation and to find out if it's headed west.

One round of free DLC just isn't enough for Soul Sacrifice, it seems. Come June 11 (the first day of E3!), fresh DLC will add eight new quests and two new bosses, including an ogre and the thing seen above. It's labeled "dwarf," as you can see, but that can't be right.
Just like last time, the DLC will be free, requiring you to sacrifice nothing but your spare time.

Warframe, the PC free-to-play shooter, will also release forPlayStation 4.
 Developed by Digital Extremes - the studio responsible for The Darkness 2 and Star Trek - the game will be available at launch for PS4.The PS4 version will retain the PC version's microtransaction model. Speaking to IGN, Warframe creative director Steve Sinclair said Sony had approached the studio.
"Sony caught wind of [Warframe], and said, 'hey, what do you think of bringing it over to PlayStation 4?' and we were very surprised to hear that," he said.
Sinclair also sang the PS4's praises, along with Sony's new attitude towards independent studios.
"It is awesome, and I don't want to speak disparagingly about any existing or prior platforms, but we showed Warframe for the first time to our entire studio, and everyone had their jaws on the floor, how 1080p, silky smooth and beautiful it was."
Warframe will also utilise the DualShock 4's touch pad functionality, and will be supplemented with an iOS and Android app.
Warframe isn't the first free-to-play shooter to be confirmed for PS4 -Blacklight: Retribution will also make the jump from PC to consoles.
According to a recent Sony ad, the PS4 is set for a 2013 release.
