    PS4 AND PS3?

    I have a PS3 and just got a PS4. If I BUY a copy for PS4 can I still play on my PS3? For example, I work at home and I want to have my PS4 downstairs and my PS3 upstairs so I can craft while I am at work. As long as I am only logged into my account on one of the stations at a time, I could play on either station if I bought a PS4 license? I just wanna be sure before I plunk down another $40.

    Thanks!

    Yes

    If you buy the PS4 copy and not upgrade to the free PS4 copy from your PS3 copy you can still play both on your account. You're right it requires you to have both license of the product in order to play on both consoles.

    I actually recently bought the PS3 copy again just so I could get on early back when the DDoS attack happened since PS4's were having issues logging on during that issue.

    Let me show you how it works:
    You own PS3 version. You want to play on PS4.
    a. You buy PS4 version. Can play on PS3 and PS4. (But you can't log into the same account from both platforms at the same time. reasons obvious)
    b. You upgrade PS3 version to PS4 version. Can play on PS4 only.
    c. (cheat) You know that PS3 version is cheaper than PS4 version? (at least in some countries) Upgrade PS3->PS4. And then... Buy PS3 version back. Yeah, some say it works.

    upd. another proof ^

    I wonder if I do the free upgrade to ps4 then buy another copy for ps3 if that would work since it is cheaper.

    It's about the same price on PSN, but you might get a steal if you can find a ps3 copy at Walmart or GameStop or some other store that have the game in stock.

    Thanks for the replies. I live in a small town and Walmart didn't have a copy of either. I went ahead with the free PS4 upgrade and am now trying to figure out how to get that going. I've played quite a few mmo's but this is my first that wasn't on a PC.

    In regards to OP, if you already own a Vita you could craft very easily using remote play and you wouldn't have to purchase another copy of the game. I wouldn't go out gallivanting into Titan EX or anything, but for simple things like craft/gather the Vita remote play works quite well.


    Obviously, this is only if you have a Vita already no reason in buying a $200 handheld for just this factor.


    But either way, the PS4 version of the game is leaps and bounds better than the PS3 version of the game, so you have made a wise decision.
