For Sony first-party game that have online play(multiplayer), is it free to play without PS+? Or do you need? I know that third party games that have online play will require PS+.
Just want some clarification and I heard PS+ is worth the value so might think about getting it.
Man, the PS4 looks amazing, but I'm not too hyped about the games. Kingdom Hearts and Destiny should keep me busy but everything else just seems like another stale shooting game. How great do people expect MGS5 to be? I'm not too excited about it but maybe I should be.

All pay to play games (for the PS4 only) will require PS+ to play online as well. Free to play games MAY require PS+, but that is up to publisher discretion. All PS3 and PS Vita games do not require PS+ to play online.

Well when it comes to exclusives I would never based it off what is shown at the E3 for a new coming console. Half of them always end up being meh.
Nothing was shown of MGS5 so yeah can't come to a conclusion but to say MGS4 received excellent reviews back when it was released. Don't forget about inFamous too. The second one had excellent review on the PS3. Also remember that neither Naughty Dog (Uncharted/Last of US) nor Santa Monica (God of War) had something to show (and they probably won't for a while since they released a game in 2013). GoW4 was a bit disappointing though.
Either way, when it comes to games. The stars of this E3 were 3rd parties. If these are not enough to motivates you, maybe wait 2014 when the PS4 library will be bigger. It's no news that the library of a new console takes time to build.
PS: The Order isn't developped by SantaMonica Studio but by a partner that made the GoW games for the PSP.
Some more developer love for Sony's stance on publishing:
The creators of Oddworld and DayZ have spoken out about why they are keener to see their games on Sony's PlayStation 4 rather than Microsoft's Xbox One.
In interviews with Eurogamer, Lorne Lanning and Dean Hall revealed why their games are more likely to be on Sony's console, at least for the time being.
First up Lanning, who as the boss of Oddworld Inhabitants helped launch the original Xbox back in 2001 with Munch's Oddysee, explained that he doesn't agree with Microsoft's policy requirements, specifically the fact that the company won't allow self-publishing, unlike Sony.
"There are those who are looking at next quarter's profits, and maybe one of these big guys looks like that's all they're doing right now," he explained. "There's one party that's making it very clear they're not interested."
“Who's in touch with their audience? And who seems out of touch with their audience? All we know is we've tried to get our games on their platform and we can't do it.
"For Xbox One [Microsoft has] granted us a license for New 'n' Tasty! but they still say you need a publisher. We don't have a publisher so we're not officially on the platform, even though we're compatible, even though we'll be ready to do it. Period.
"Why do we need a publisher when we self-finance our games, we build our own IP, we manage our own IP and we've turned nearly two million units online as indie publishers sold – not free downloads? Why? What's wrong with us?
"Who's in touch with their audience? And who seems out of touch with their audience? All we know is we've tried to get our games on their platform and we can't do it – and I even helped them release the box."
So it seems for now that Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty won't be coming to the Xbox One or 360, and DayZ creator Dean Hall has similar views when it comes to his plans for the standalone version of his popular mod.
"Yeah, we talked to both of them," he revealed. "But, as I'm sure you're aware, Sony lets you self-publish and they don't make you pay for updates. Microsoft requires you to have a publisher. They have no digital distribution strategy and they require you to pay $10,000, or whatever it is, for updates.
"We like [Sony]. I like what I saw on the PS4. I like what I saw on the Xbox in a lot of cases as well. I'm not s***ting on them. I'm kind of hopeful that Microsoft has just forgot to talk about its indie support. Maybe I'm being a bit naive."

MGS5 is in my top few most anticipated games (along with Witcher 3, Divison and a few others)
Check out this trailer:
There is both cinematic and in-game footage which should give you a good idea of what you are in for.
I wonder if i can hook up the PS4 like my PS3 ( well PS3 has an AV cable you can use ) on my PC monitor and plug-in my 3.1 system that sadly only has cinch. My monitor has HDMI so thats no the problem but there's no speakers .
I was considering preordering a bunch and selling them at launch to make a bit of money to cover the cost when I decide to keep one, anyone have any experience with this? As much as I want the PS4 right away I don't really feel compelled by any of the games until the geikai service or FFXV is released.
I'm not a console gamer at all but damn this is looking pretty spiffy. I think I would enjoy the games and all, but I'd find myself back on the computer playing SC2 in the end. I dunno, I'm not sure I would actually use it enough :S

Probably will be the same. It cost the same to make the physical disc for PS4(bluray). And Amazon got all launch PS4 titles listed at 59.99 with a Price guarantee tag next to them. X1 games are the same at 59.99 but with no price guarantee.

Ok looks like i'm going to need a digital optical coax to analog RCA audio converter if i want to continue to use my current setup. Not the end of the world and pretty easy to get and not that expensive.
Isn't GTA coming out on PC like year after console release? Also is GTA going be a PS3 game that is able to play on PS4 instead of being a genuine PS4 game right?

I'm not sure which one I want though. :|
Does it save any money?
Also my PS4 Pre-order from Amazon, was "upgrade" to Launch Edition," which just means Release-Day Delivery from Amazon. So while the PS4 's pre-orders number may be good, it seems like "OMG PS4 sold out" was all marketing.
