So....is there continutiy in the DCU? Is it the 'New 52' continuity? Or is eveything going to be loose and kind of stand alone like the pre-Marvel DCU?
My brain hurts.

It's the same continuity with new books and maybe less crossovers.

Its still the "New 52" continuity. Its just the brand name of "New 52" is ending because it no longer applies. Its the same world though. So since they're retiring the brand name they'll probably just refer to it as Earth-0 as that's its multiverse designation. Just remember that Earth-0=New 52=main line continuity and you'll be alright.
The talk about less focus on continuity is just a relative term meant to promote the idea that they're going to be more focus on just the quality of the individual titles, that's all. And that we'll see more of a variant in tone of books, in regards to your really serious stuff to more lighthearted and comedic stuff. Its still a shared world though.
I feel like the OP. DC is going to play it loose with continuity. But, there's not much continuity to begin with, so playing loose with it doesn't make much sense.
Marvel does that every couple of years with their Dark Age, Heroic Age, Marvel Now, Marvel All New Now and whatever else, but somehow people find it confusing only when DC does it.
Wow. I'm new(er) to reading the DCU, and if I have questions, believe me, I will make sure NOT to ask here.
Ouch.

OK, I didn't post anything negative, but I was thinking it, so now I feel bad.
I guess, as an excuse, it gets frustrating to see what seems like people jumping to far-fetched conclusions.
They announce that the "new52" branding is going away, and people think the new52 continuity is going away. Is "branding" not a word most people are familiar with?
I acknowledge that the "story trumps continuity" line is vague, but I think when in doubt, one should assume minor changes rather than major ones. Maybe that comes from being a long-time reader and being rather in touch with the priorities of the publishers and whatnot.
It is a time of upheaval. All the conspiracy theorists and haters come out of the wood works. Some times it is hard to tell who is genuinely asking a question and who is trolling.
