[Oberon]

Yep,another title to be 'free-to-play'.

Capcom has announced at Tokyo Game Show 2013 that its upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Deep Down will be free-to-play.

That's cool. I'll definitely check it out, even though I'm not much of an MMO gamer. But I think that's the point with the free-to-play angle; to get more gamers aboard who have never tried MMOs or haven't played a lot of MMOs. Hopefully it'll be a fun experience without actually having to pay for anything.

Same,I wouldnt normally either but for a free to play game I think most people will try it whether they like MMO's or not.

A lot of people are going with this type of "free-2-play" nowadays, and i really don't like it because the quality of the said games lowers too much for my taste. I am still trying to find a good free-2-play game to use as an example.

Alright, Free-to-Play Online game. Man, it looks otherwise fantastic, but it's hard to really be positive when it's a F2P Online game by friggin' CAPCOM of all companies.

Well, there goes all my hope for a good game. Wtf? They can keep this game.

It's free to play but it will definitely be a pay to win type of game. And it's from Capcom so expect a ton of premium stuff to be available. We're going to see a lot more games follow this business model in the next gen.

Yeah,dont write it off just cause it's free to play just yet.

I ma not writing it off at all, but the fact that it's a F2P game, dwindles down all my hope that I had for this one.

If you literally mean "free to play" in the conventional sense, I could easily name lots of games.
If you mean "F2P" games that base their profits on micro-transactions, then I would advise you to check out WarFrame. I've heard good things about that game, albeit not without a share of criticisms for its implementation of the free play.
