Mods for sure. No one save for Microsoft has said anything specific about VR for Scorpio other than it'll be supported, at the system level.

I mean, it would be nice, but I was under no delusion when I bought PSOne Classics that I was purchasing a lifetime license to each game.
Edit: misread.

How does QA on anything Bethesda touches reflect poorly?
Wasn't the game already released before ps4 mod support was announced? As far as I remember the original announcement only listed the XBO and PC.
It's not like the official marketplace doesn't have a approval process of anything with abundance of community comments and ratings.

Your not answering my question? The orchestra did live music for all the games present, liek actual soundtrack music that each game is going to have especially God of war, the conductor was Bear McCreary who is composing the score for God of war.
Macklemore being at xbox launch was there for no reason served no purpose but to try and make their launch look bigger than life.
Had nothing to do with video games.

As for mods crashing Fallout, Todd admitted that mod support would allow that back when mods were announced. I believe his quote was, "Yes, we'll even allow gamers to break their own games with the wrong mods" or something like that. All you have to do to stop it from crashing is remove the mod, though.
Where did you get Sony wanting to make money off mods?

Remember when they were like "oh you want mod support for UT3 on PS3? yeah sure do it, do some mouse&keyboard support while you're at it".
And now even new disc formats aren't relevant to them anymore.

QA for every single mod is a bit insane. I can't think of any dev who'd be willing to do that.
I'm not sure there is anything Sony can do... in terms of negative actions, PR blunders, etc.. that would impact sales.
Bethesda absolutely should. It would make up all the manhours they didnt spend QAing the base game.
I have gotten a refund on psn preorders before is that a problem now? Or did Skyrim release and I missed it.
charge $499 for pro and $399 for slim and/or restrict used games.
Oh, I misread that part in the conversation.

A process has more rights on a Windows based system than on a console. At least if Sony has done their homework correctly.
Not saying that security still isn't a valid issue.
Expecting QA on every single mod is the same as saying that you don't allow mods at all.

I mean yeh but the community tends to figure these things out too, I understand a Google might be necessary but such is the territory of mods. I just don't think that's unreasonable?
Well yeh I'm sure some have, I think a quick Google would also point you to a few hundred instances where dev QA also didn't prevent security compromises. Example: PSN doesn't have a very good track record of keeping your personal info very personal

Live music just shows how arrogant Sony has gotten like Beethoven didn't die for your shitty video games.
No it's not. Saying no mod support is not allowing mods. Saying mods with QA is the definition of allowing mod support. They fact that they want a company responsible for ever item they will allow to be installed on the closed system wouldn't be a outlandish idea.
Looks like it at least passes the smell test for Neogaf. Adds a new angle to the argument.

XD this is perfect. What mods are they downloading?
No, we have to put the blame on Sony and disregard everything that we factually know about the situation because Bethesda bad and Sony good.

This is why you never take anything Bethesda says at face value. Caught lying again.

so Beth isn't blameless, quelle surprise.
oh damn
Please link a source/mod that is created within a mod development kit like Creation Kit that has ever compromised security on PC. We are not talking about mods altogether as that include pretty much any .dll ever, but specifically content created within a tool that can only be accessed by a certain layer within the game client. It's simply extremely unlikely to have ever happened.
No dev in the world would QA check every single mod. At best you'd have them check some of the more popular mods once in a while, but then you lose big spectrum that mods usually offer.
I wonder if the exchange for more file space and texture and sound access is that Beth has to QA each one. And the reduced access is for if they don't want to go through that. If that is the case then they are working with them.
So? Still isn't the same as not allowing them. Beth could allow a best of selection and anyway mods without new textures or audio would be simple to QA.
Well Farming Simulator still supports mods on the PS4

Man, Sony is making some dumb moves lately. I hope they get it together fast. They need to realize that they can lose like anyone else.
Seeing how the source "trashed" bethesda, I guess it has to be a very strong one.
So ball is in Bethesda's court...
And guess that show even strong sources can have personal opinions about companies, despite what some people in this thread think,
All this shows is that Sony have got their head up their arses if they think that it's even the remotely bit possible and realistic to-do this.
Why the hell would Bethesda even consider it?
