From Knack:
Same as on PS3, Vita, etc.
From Knack:
I think it's also the fact handhelds aren't as big of a deal here as consoles so they're probably more agreeable to this stuff, whereas on consoles they'd want to defend what they have more.This is my preferred DRM. Combines online with offline. Still wish it was 2 consoles online or off, though. Yeah, I'm really disappointed there's no digital discount. I though Sony would balls up and do that. Doesn't want to upset retail? Dunno. The Vita does it but you have to buy cards from retail so that's the trade-off. Dunno.
Yep.Can't wait to see UK prices. Are games in the US typically $60?
Yeah it reminds me of the 360 DRM. One home console with a license to play the game either offline or online and one roaming license that lets you access your games on any other console as long as your signed in.I think it's slightly different. On PS3, you can download and play on two activated systems, online or off, with any account on the system. With PS4, you can download on two systems, but only play offline (or different accounts) on the "Home" system. To play on both systems, the other PS4 has to be logged into the purchasing account.
So in other words, to share a game you've purchased, designate the other person's PS4 as your home system. They'll be able to play the game on their account while you play it logged into yours.
Looks like Sony is attacking gameshare by forcing people to login to the account that purchased the game.
But uh, I thought you can play offline. Is this DRM? Or poor interpretation?
Yes, new games are usually $60.Can't wait to see UK prices. Are games in the US typically $60?
I am fine with this.This (the smallprint in the OP) is the 360's DRM.
Buy game on console: Play offline.
Want to play on another console: Need to sign in with your PSN account and be online.

Preordering a F2P game, uh okay?
Oh... Well... That's embarrassing.@Yosp already confirmed this on twitter.
Most interesting part:
The first one is new, the second one is old. I guess the first one is the new licensing, whereas the second one is the old PSN-Template, that still got used in this product description and has to be removed.
So I'm suspecting the old 2-slot licensing is gone for PS4. :-(
On Warframe, it says "online multiplayer requires a Playstation Plus subscription". I wonder if that is just a mistake. Hopefully.
Soooo good!
Exactly like PS3 then!
That's how it works now. You have to log into the second system, download the game and now anyone can play it on their own account. I shared GTA V this way with my brother so we could both play it at the same time and split the cost. I'm going all digital with Sony because of this.

Are you sure about this?
I don't do game share, so it most likely will not affect me, but having to be connected would kinda suck.
Good.
Same retail price... so not amazing.
Who cares about the hack? Nothing happened. No one was ripped off.So people really put their credit cards back on Sony's hands?
After the hack all I do is PSN cards
Good.
Same retail price... so not amazing.
What would've been amazing if they just made Knack $54.99 unannounced. Sigh..
No, probably only the first line is true. The second line is from the default template, they forgot to remove the text.
Good.
Same retail price... so not amazing.
Uh oh...
Really hope that was a mistake. Free to Play games actually being Free to Play was a big advantage for PS4.

WTF

The couldIt would be nice if these could be preloaded onto... something. What's the point otherwise.
You only have to be connected if you're on the second PS4. If you're on your main PS4 you don't need to be online at all, or even on your account.
Wait, what?
You were expecting cheaper?
Again, people, there's a special on PSN right now for getting $10 back if you spend $50.
There's a distinction between play and download. You can download on two systems, but play on one offline or different accounts. You can play on both if the second one is online with the purchaser's account.
Honestly a little stunned that Knack is a full price title. Was sure it was going to be like Sly and drop in at $40 to boost it's sales.
