PS4 to have plenty of PlayStation Plus included (Photos)

PS4 will be featuring many new things, but it looks like PlayStation Plus will still maintain a prominent role with the new PS4.

According to a report from GamesIndustry on Friday, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Jim Ryan talked about how they feel about the service and the involvement it will have with the PS4.

"We're very happy with the service that we've been able to offer with PS Plus.

"It's been really well received - the value is quite extraordinary and the take-up has trebled over the course of the past year.

"We definitely see that as a core part of the way forward.

"We're not yet in a position to disclose our plans for the future of PlayStation Plus, but there will definitely be a prominent role to play for it in the PlayStation 4 landscape," Ryan said.

Ryan then talked about how they are looking to bring in more indie developers.

"It's always been part of our remit to offer different and unexpected experiences, and often the indie community thinks in those sorts of terms.

"From a first party perspective we have an external development studio that's always reaching out to new start-ups and new innovators. People forget Media Molecule were just four guys when they first came to us with an idea.

"And that goes on all the time - not just in the UK, but throughout Europe as well. There are lots of new teams coming through. We're always looking for new teams with big ideas and big ambitions," Ryan said.
