Stay tuned for new updates on the bombastic FPS throughout the morning.

Oh, and one more thing – Shadow Warrior 3 will be a PlayStation Now title at launch.

First big game to launch day one on the service (?)

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Nani!?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Oh shit!

 

[N30RYU]

Spartacus march 1st official release?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Interesting. More Gamepass-like push inbound?

 

[Punished Miku]

How foolish. PS gamers only like to own their games with PS5 logos on the box.

Seriously though, this is not surprising that they're moving to counter Gamepass. Seems smart.

 

[saintjules]

Would they still be calling it PS Now if it was Spartacus?

 

[ParaSeoul]

Best deal in gaming

'Begun, the service war has'

I feel personally attacked.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Can you download the game and play it locally? Cause psnow streaming is garbaggio

 

[mejin]

That's a surprise indeed.

 

[Chukhopops]

Now that’s unexpected, good news from a competition point of view.

But that’s gonna be the PS4 version right?

 

[Louay]

'It begins, the service war has'

yeah MS need to actually market their service now, i expect great marketing for Spartacus. interesting times ahead.

 

[Godot25]

I can't wait for PlayStation fans to backtrack on that "...but what about developers" statements

 

[balls of snow]

Things are getting good.

 

[retsof624]

SONY?!?! New game day one?!?!
Competition is GOOD! Consumers bout to eat good

 

[reksveks]

Sony devaluing games.....

/jk

 

[R6Rider]

Shadow Warrior 3 and Elex II sure did pick some horrible release dates.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Can you download the game and play it locally? Cause psnow streaming is garbaggio

Yes. PSNOW is downloadable for everything PS4 related which I imagine this will be. All streaming is garbo.

 

[Nankatsu]

PS Now, hurray...

 

[Nikana]

Will it be the PS5 version though?

 

[Captain Toad]

Can you download the game and play it locally? Cause psnow streaming is garbaggio

You've been able to do that for several years.

And haven't had any more issues with PS streaming than Xbox streaming. Both should be a last resort.

 

[Jose92]

is it sustainable ?

 

[JaksGhost]

Will it be the PS5 version though?

The game is only launching on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

 

[wvnative]

I honestly didn't think Sony was going this route.

 

[Vognerful]

Adding my vote to what version will it be?

 

[Lognor]

Cool! But is there no PS5 version?

 

[Dane]

Is this legal? Won't that make customers not pay for anything?

 

[Darlingcognito]

Whew I'm so glad I'm in Australia where Now isn't available so I can continue to spend full price to support the Devs.

What year is this?

 

[Ogbert]

Hope this doesn’t mean it’s shit.

 

[Nikana]

The game is only launching on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

That's a bummer but answers the question.

 

[Bartski]

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Sony going for all routes baby!
Physical games, digital games for 70$ / 80€, streaming, subscriptions, PS4, PS5, cross-gen, next-gen, PC, mobile, Movies, TV shows. Organic growth, inorganic growth.

You're lucky they ain't sending those OSTs to radio stations at this point.

 

[iHaunter]

I honestly didn't think Sony was going this route.

Competition good!

 

[N30RYU]

Haven't sony pulled all the psn now cards from retail stores?? Then why release it on PS now instead of PS+... the only reasonable answer is that the Spartacus merge must be inminent.

 

[Salz01]

That there is no ps5 native version of this blows my mind. Comon…

 

[Stuart360]

That there is no ps5 native version of this blows my mind. Comon…

Therr amy not be a native PS5 version but i'm sure there will be like a 60fps mode for PS5/XSX.

 

[Esca]

I'll give it a try. Never played the shadow warrior games

 

[Dry_Kill_Logic_87]

what the hell is so funny ? in my opinion, SW3 looks better and more fun than Doom

You're on the wrong forum if you are going to get triggered by smilies, trust me lol.

 

[01011001]

the semcond one was pure garbage, so the third one has to first prove itself.

it does look good tho... and I think they got rid of the shitty looter shooter and random leves stuff right?

 

[GHG]

Going to need to try harder than this if they want me to sign up to some glorified rental service.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

This was bound to happen, Sony can’t allow Xbox to have 3rd party games be available day and date on game pass at $10 per month while forcing their audience to pay full price for the same games.

 

[DForce]

I can't wait for PlayStation fans to backtrack on that "...but what about developers" statements

Well, It's clear that you didn't get the point of that question.

XboxGAF was too busy calculating revenue from Game Pass and saying, "This how much money Microsoft is making per month! Game Pass is profitable!" So, that's where the question came in, "How are the developers getting paid?"

They were getting paid because MS was paying them to put the game on the service, which means MS was either making little or no profit from Game Pass.

 

[DenchDeckard]

The winners will be hopefully consumers, but I can see games getting split across services.

Good that Sony is stepping up though.

 

[mckmas8808]

Sony doesn't have any native PS5 games on PS Now right?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yes. PSNOW is downloadable for everything PS4 related which I imagine this will be. All streaming is garbo.

Pardon me, do you have a moment to speak about the lord and savior up in the, xCloud?

 

[Ogbert]

They’re great fun.

Pick up number 2 and give it a go, in advance.
