Fishing Planet on the PS4

[FraggleRock]

Will the game require a PS4 subscription to be able to download and play the game?

I'm asking for a friend.

Thanks

Hi,
Please specify the question. What you mean with "PS4 Subscription"?
Kind Regards,
Support Team

It's about the PlayStation® Plus membership you have to pay to be able to play online, like GTA V for the multiplayer side, CoD multiplayers side etc...

All games that you are able to play SOLO, you don't need to subscribe to PlayStation® Plus.
So games that have 2 "sides" (solo campaign and multiplayer maps) you can play the solo side without charges outside of buying the game.

But as soon as you want to join a multiplayer game, you need to have a valid PlayStation® Plus membership. At least how I do understand it.

And as FP is multiplayer, and you don't have a solo side... (EDIT : besides solo room [end of edit]) hence the question...
Will guy on the PS4 be able to play FP without having to pay a subscribtion to PlayStation® Plus.
Same story goes with XBox One.

Hope it helps

My assumption would be you'll need a playstation membership to play multiplayer, and hopefully privately you won't.

I hope it will be like you said for the ones owning a PS4

Hi,
As we are a free2play game no subscription is required to play on PS4.
Please wait for release and enjoy the game.

BonPadre, thanks for your clarification.
However you are talking about PS Plus subscription which is not required by our game as it is free2play.
We wanted to double-check, maybe CycleDave meant some other type of subscription by "PS4 subscription" we were not aware of.
In any case you can fully enjoy Fishing Planet on your PS4 (or PS4 Pro) without any subscription as soon as it hits the stores. Release date to be announced very soon, stay tuned!

No, I did mean the PS4 subscription.

Thank you for clarifying it up.
Of course I'm not bothered about it being released on the PS4 as I already have the game on the PC and I refuse to level up again on a console that I hardly play on!

[BonPadre]

Thanks @Fishing_Planet_Mod for that detailed answer here.

It's indeed a question I have seen raised many times, also on your FB account (but me not beeing a FB afficionado) I never checked if you gave an answer there.

The fact FP is multiplayer was also probably raising questions where more traditional multiplayer games require the PlayStation® Plus membership to play Online.

The fact is that PS4 Subscription does not exist. PlayStation Plus is a subscription service that allows you access to certain features for your PlayStation 4.

We are honored by your meticulous approach to the game and details.
But at this point is better to sharpen a focus on word Free2Play and to grasp that no subscriptions are required.

Sigh..... You think I don't know what a bloody PS4 subscription is? I've been on the playstation since the PS1 was released.

Case closed.

Btw I had a little message from an angel of the forum, telling me I probably inserted an emote that was not percieved correctly.
It was really a TRUE happy emote, I did really like what was the answer, that it was a full nice detailed answer. And something less impersonal than the copy/paste. I truely appreciate that communication format. so sorry if it has been misinterprated.

It was something totally unclear to me that F2P games are indeed not bound to the same rules as the paying ones. So I learned something, as I don't own a PS4 for that exact reason of that "fee".

If I'm not happy with something I usually state it loud (like you probably have seen some were I was not happy.) If I drop a happy face it's truely a happy one.. Hope it clarifies...
I rarely use sarcasm on a forum, because sarcasm is a thing that is usually better percieved with voice intonation... so I refrain using that on written text (or I would use something like that "sarcastic mode ON" text..... "sarcastic mode OFF" to really make it clear.

So sorry for inconveniences caused on my side. I'll always be a picky little awful one, but please really never take it personally. I really never had anything personal with anybody on this forum, even if I was disagreeing. I'm always open for communication.

Tight lines to all
And great to hear that PS4 players will be able to all enjoy that too, without "purse" discrimination. That's great news.
