We’re just days away from E3 at the time of typing, and the PlayStation 4 announcements are really starting to pick up the pace as a result. Hot on the heels of Basement Crawl and Warframe, Sony Online Entertainment has added two more titles to the system’s catalogue: PlanetSide 2 and DC Universe Online. According to IGN, both games will be released as free-to-play digital downloads later this year.
Details are scarce at the moment, but Sony Online Entertainment’s involvement with the PS4 has been rumoured for a while. Earlier in the year, company president John Smedley hinted that the next generation console was capable of running its gigantic first-person shooter. It’s also stated on multiple occasions that the PlayStation 3 was actually the most popular venue for DC Universe Online, so porting the release to the system’s successor makes a lot of sense.
We suspect that we’ll be seeing a lot more of these titles at E3. Until then, let us know if you’re excited for either of the games in the comments section below.

Huge news. I love DC Universe Online and am really eager to try PlanetSide 2. If Sony's smart, it should mention all of these free-to-play games on the PS4's box. "Comes with FIVE FREE games," or whatever. Touch disingenuous, I guess, but still...
this and warframe automatically makes it easy to buy one
Aww Man this might help turn the tide. Been wanting to play DCUO for a while now.
@Sony_70 It's pretty good in a mindless kind of way. I put about 15 hours in and really enjoyed them. MMOs are still kind of a novelty for me, though, I must admit.

I'm a big DC fan as evidenced by my. Sony is making quite a play to get this lapased PlayStation fan back into the fold.
Not a huge fan of Planetside 2 on the PC, but might give it a try on the 4. I find it to be amazing as an example of how far gaming has come, but too big for its own good. It's usually just mob/swarm mentality chaos.
@get2sammyb This is perfect for parents with not a lot of money who buys a console for their kid. games from the go:D
Warframe would be a huge sell for kids, i mean its a very fast paced version of mass effect......very fun and efficient. They will just have to learn crafting and where to get mats....not that hard just takes a few runs to get everything, but damn its well worth getting uber gear....which btw you cant buy from there store. The store atm is just powerful weapons for when starting out, but to get actual good gear you still need to farm and grind a few levels and find some blueprints.
But parents can at least get a good premium model playstation and not have to instantly worry about dishing out a ton of money if you can download a good selection of free to play games. Has microsoft even announced any good F2P games if anything at all for the cable box?
The free to play games list is starting to get big!
War Thunder
Blacklight Retribution
Warframe
Doki-Doki Universe
DC Universe
Planetside 2
Words can't express how happy this makes me...
@ViciousDS Have they announced any games for the Xbox One at all? Trolling aside, I don't think so, but they'd be crazy not to support the model. I believe a couple of F2P titles launched on 360, so I'm sure they will support them.
thank god for ps4, a fluid, less laggy and buggy DC Universe. Amen. (hopefully)
i only say the above cos i love the game and have a full t4 hero and villain, but lost interest of late. the above issues dont help, let me tell you.
