You're right, Sony didn't see the value in that

So they stopped making demos because as they put it they want to put 100% into the game.

and

You get 5 days early access to the FULL game under EA Access program.

2 totally different things. Your not paying for access to demo, early access to the full game is a benefit of the subscription.

Typical system wars.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation in this thread

There is no demo, you aren't paying for a demo. You pay a subscription and get the game 5 days earlier. End of story. It's the full game released earlier for EA access members much like day zero for Call of Duty.

EA is going to charge for demos? They must really be improving madden this year.

...This is the stuff I'm talking about. People buying all the nonsense last gen, and it leads to lunatics thinking people will buy into paid demos. I think even the most braindead COD fanboy will see where this is going. Makes me want to sell my ps4.

I've been saying over the last few months, could be more--wiiu and pc.

Yeah and their profits will sink to the floor and investors will demand the head of some one,like it or not EA can do sh** each and every single multiplatform they have sold better on PS4,so trying to hold games from the PS4 will only do EA harm,after all if BF5 is no on PS4 that mean more call of duty sold less BF5 sold so yeah is not going to happen.

You mean the one they introduce 11 years after MS.? Yeah i think we are safe for now,,lol

So you are not paying for demos you are paying for 5 early access.? How is that any better.?

@tormentos: Don't be dense you know what your paying for....The Vault(back catalog of EA games you can play) 10% off all digital purchases including DLC for members, and early access/trial/demo/rental (whatever word cows want to use to spin it negatively) to EA games 5 days before release all your saved progress and info will then transfer to the game if you choose to purchase it.

If anyone doesn't own or haven't played Battlefield 4, Madden 25, Fifa14 or Peggle 2. It's a no brainer to spend $5 for one month and play these games or just spend $30 and try out the year. If you own those or played these games it's a wait and see kinda deal.

I tried to have them just read the FAQ, but they refused and charged on with ignorance.

1. 5 days of the full game
2. 10% discount on all digital purchases
3. The games in the Vault
4. $30/year.

That's a pretty good deal. You reek of sour grapes because Sony f'ed PS3/4 owners and rejected it. Regardless of whether or not anyone else thinks it's a good deal, everyone except cows at least has the option.

the 3rd party support always disappears when the hardware sales are not great. This isn't Nintendo's choosing. This is the Developers/Publishers choosing not to make their games for Nintendo's console.

Rehash excellent new games of Mario, Zelda and donkey kong, maybe you should play them and see the changes. Go check out the the favorite franchise topic. Nintendo has the top 3 placed franchises. Not to mention don't blame Nintendo for being able to keep franchises relevant. I love Sega but they turned Sonic into a joke. Sony managed to ruin crash bandicoot in just 2 generations.The online community is growing with games like Mario Kart and SSB/Platoon on the horizon. COD has a respectable amount of players anytime I have played black ops 2 on my Wii U.

Also don't fail to mention that Nintendo has never tried to put DRM onto the consoles. Microsoft wanted to and Sony was interested until they saw the Microsoft backlash. Nintendo doesn't charge you to rent games. It doesn't charge you to play online. It is backwards compatible. It gave away a free game with its highest selling game so far. You can use previous generations controllers on the Wii U. There is no subscriptions. Their games come with gifts from club Nintendo.

Nintendo saved gaming in the 80's now sony and microsoft are trying to suck the life out of it.

@GrenadeLauncher: Implying I have any interest in PS Now either.

Implying all x1 owners are getting EA access. Hypocrite much?

Actually, there are no current plans to do so. That's legaleze for "we might do it later though".

@tormentos: A demo and the full game are completely different. A demo is limited in what you can experience, whereas EA access is giving you the complete game early. As stated, the demo does not exist. You can experience the full game early without having to purchase it.

Regardless of the reasons you stated, Wiiboxstation is correct. Nintendo is the most gamer friendly atm. No online fees (like it should be), a decent online community (regardless of what you make yourself believe - they seriously need to update the messaging system though), actual sequels to games (Instead of remakes), Free DLC (that also isn't locked on the game pre-release), have traditional AND newly innovative control methods and is actually improving all of it with updates.

I'm sure it won't be long before Sony adopts the same pay-for-demos method that EA is using and you will start to justify it in your mind just like you're ragging on the xbox one fanboys for doing. I remember the Playstation Undergroud and Jam Pack demo cd's that they made you pay for back in the early days of Playstation.

Jesus fricken Christ...

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had to speak in f**king legalise on a gaming forum site. WTF - stop nitpicking. You got f'ed by Sony, get over it.

I'm just saiyan bro. Some of us just it weird that people like you are so eager to trust EA, a company which at best, has done nothing to earn that trust.

It seems that overyone who is'nt a lemming must be a cow huh? You're the fucking George Bush of gaming.

Paid gaming services in general are just a bad thing. XBLG, PS+, PS Now, and EA Access need to just go away.

Paying for demos? No thanks. I'll just continue not playing the vast majority of EA games like I have for the last 10 years.

Well I knew this would happen. Im staying far away from PS Now and EA Access. If all the publishers think a subscription access is good then prepare to pay varying prices from all publishers/developers. No thanks i'll keep my 300-400 a year thank you much. I don't care if some gamers think that it offers value. To me it will only usher in the era of DD much faster. I don't know about you but, i like having physical copies of games. If you buy into this you are starting a trend that will cause gaming to crash again. To all developers and publishers just make good games and I will buy them. I will not be buying your subscriptions. Sadly, it looks like I'm in the minority.

Considering I haven't seen a peep of criticism about it from any of them, no.

Boy you read selectively then. In the thread announcing it, myself and others have said we aren't convinced or sold on this, but at least we get to decide for ourselves.

At this point EA might as well release their own console that requires a subscription to function, another subscription to play online. Required pictures of your face to access your account. Required 24/7 connection. supports only one controller as multiplayer is online only. Etc etc etc

And if you pay for the EA thingy you get games to play for free (What cows call "free".)

Nothing lost.

People have been paying for demos for years now and sometimes they didn't even have to give them fancy names like "Prologue"

You'd have to be a total idiot to think this is unprecedented.

I'm waiting to see if they are going to limit the 5 days early access

Agreed completely.

I don't think it's 5 full days of the game. "download upcoming EA games five days before the release date to play for a limited time."

I imagine you have only a set number of hours within those 5 days

Demos are a thing of the past anyways. Paying for them is the only way for publishers to justify even releasing them.

Ea can't even release a bug free game on the actual release date. So 5 days early access will have even more bugs.

You are like a f*cking gnat! C'mon - do you have to fricken spend your day nitpicking? WTF????

You still get to try the full game 5 days before it is available to see if you like it. That' more than a demo, which is usually 1-2 levels of a game.

If you don't want it, don't pay for it.

Hhhmm.. I never paid for any UFC demo. Mine was free on XBox One. lol!! I have no plans of getting EA Access. There are enough games for it yet to be worth it right now. Other gamers will probably jump on it though.

Cows having meltdown over EA Access. Pretty funny. You do know that all these new EA games will still be coming to the PS4 right? lol!! There will still be DD for them, but you'll have to pay the full price or get the physical copy at retailers.

What's wrong with correcting or clarifying information for people?

He's making fun of what was supposedly a glitch that showed the UFC demo costing 4.99

Ea Access is open to the public now

LMAO... Silly, silly, Xbox fanboys...

First EA was the Devil of the gaming industry... Now all of a sudden, they're the Savior because Sony turned their service down and it's only available for Xbox.

Cani't wait to see this blow up in SOOOOO many faces when EA Access turns into "EA >ONLY< Access", and their games ONLY become available through this service because, you morons (once again) "chased the rabbit, down the rabbit hole"; only to find Poop at the end of all this...

You people clearly don't understand the "Bait and Switch" here...

@svaubel: I'm sure Ea are working on this. Probably want to add more subscriptions and charges to those you listed.

pretty sure you only get the access if you pre-order the game no?? as in no trying

No you get to try games early for a limited amount of time. Should you then decide to purchase the game, your progress will carry over

Paying for demos? lol you can keep that trash lemmings.

it's not really a demo. It's more like a timed trial, kind of like what you pay for with PS+

One day after this, the biggest demo of the year drops on PSN.

It's like karma has it out for you...

hope u are enjoying all the remasters.. i told u sony lovers to not buy all those HD collections last gen. but some how none of u guys played them the first time on ps3 :roll: right?

i went on psn the other night to play some new demos on my ps3. almost all of then needed psn+ whats up with that???

Yeah fill with EA crappy games...

I can already see it sport sport sport...BF NFS.. Next year same sh**.

Exactly which is the reason why i don't care for it..

EA games are basically quick cash grabs.

Sony can't stop me from choosing EA games,those games still are coming to PS4,and i don't want them.

Yeah just like you have the choice to pay for weapons which EA basically started as well,not all choices are good for gamers.
