Support NeoGAF

[johancruijff]

You're streaming from a PS3.

No enhancements, no higher resolutions, no better framerates, no modding.

It's a PS3 on your PC.

they're exactly the same as on a PS3

Thanks

Between that, the cost, the hiccups and lag I'm not that interested

 

[thekiddfran]

PC Gaf really done it this time. They waited patiently biding their time for an all out attack. 8th Gen shall be known as the rise of PC. PC is really endgame isn't it?

Durante right now:

This is literally a move by Sony to make more money. How is this the rise of PC?

 

[Brad Grenz]

Sony made it clear they intended to extend PS Now to PCs back when they announced the service during the 2013 PlayStation Meeting where PS4 was also announced.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

This would be great but I kind of wish it was a few quid cheaper. £9.99 would be a steal but at £12.99 with the catalogue as it is, I'm just not feeling it.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Played a few games on it and run well if your connection is solid. Could be the future, especially for single player or local multi-player experiences. As internet keeps improving, I think it's wise to invest in.

 

[Tagyhag]

Men, didn't get it on the PS4, certainly won't get it now.

MGS4 would change that though.

 

[sviri]

Has anyone used this service? What is the input lag like? Are there any other issues that detract from the original experience?

 

[gyrocombo]

Thanks

Agreed, PSNow service is bad. I'd be okay with the occasional graphic hiccup but when the sound gets all messed up it sounds like a teddy ruxpin with low batteries.

 

[Obliterator]

I would be all over this if we got some actual improvements to games resolution / framerate on PC but as is just not interested

 

[sajj316]

Certainly wouldn't play an FPS or fighting game on it. They've done a nice job of getting the lag down to minimal or acceptable for certain types of games. Resolution is too low for me. 720p just isn't cutting it on a 1080p monitor. Looked really nice on my Vita but a lack of physical buttons made the experience poor.

I'm guessing it depends on each specific connection because in my case it's always been a flawless experience.

 

[Benedict]

So Europe only for right now, I need a NA announcement, and I hope it can use other controllers

PS Now isn't even out in most countries here in Europe...

 

[flaxknuckles]

So you mean some time around the PS5 then?

oh yes

 

[Conkerkid11]

But why?

 

[pantsmith]

Demon's Souls!

"The PlayStation Meeting event will now be 10 seconds long. Andrew House will just go on stage and say “Everything that’s leaked is real.” "

Every Time

 

[EvB]

Maybe they'll make a UWP app and we can play PS4 games on Xbox ONe

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

I'm far more likely to use this on PC. I just hope it's not windows 10 only like remote play.

 

[ViolentP]

But why?

Because it's a great idea would be my guess.

 

[Guymelef]

Remote Play is compatible with Windows 8.1.

 

[Floody]

Didn't they say PSNow is going to come to PC? They just never said when. Maybe I'm thinking of Shareplay or Remoteplay, but can swear I remember them saying it as well as to TVs.

 

[Solrac]

sony is playing a risky game, releasing to many stuff on pc can end it like Microsoft, no one would buy a xbox to play " exclusive " games.

 

[dreamcast210]

I like this idea a lot. I haven't owned a Playstation console since the first one. This would allow me to play some of those games I can't get on Xbox or PC. I have to wonder if it will be compatible with my Xbox One controller though...

(by the way, first post here)

 

[Slaythe]

I mean it's not even out in the majority of Europe ... -_-

 

[Real_Madrid]

Was waiting for this, but can someone explain why Metal Gear Solid isn't on PS Now?
PS3 is the only place that can play all the Metal Gear games... They even made a huge collection with all the games (without MGS V of course).

That said, there's still enough value for a few months. Games like Motorstorm, Resistance, Ratched & Clanck , Infamous, Killzone and Sly collections alone are worth playing.
It's a pretty good list and for the people without a PS4, I see it as a must to play the Naughty Dog games.

If this works well, you could easily see why this is going to be important for gaming in the (far) future. They could easily make Uncharted 4 streamable at some point.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Remote Play is compatible with Windows 8.1.

Is iT? . I would want it on windows 7 anyway

 

[Crimson_Gold]

You can get PSNow on a TV or Blu-ray player. This is not a bad move by any means

Lol.
More money renting PS3 games on Online services = More money to produce PS4 exclusives.

This will have absolutely 0 impact on PS4 sales.

 

[AmyS]

So, IIRC The PS3 Daytona USA HD port is on PS Now (again, if I recall correctly), so that would mean PC gamers can play it also, if they don't wanna mess with emulation or have an Xbox 360.

I forget if multiplayer PS3 games can be played on PS Now, on PS4.

 

[FDC1]

It's already over 7PM here in France so I doubt they are announcing anything today

 

[KingBroly]

I'd like it if they just combined it with the Remote Play app as like a Playstation Suite or something. Just for convenience's sake.

And Universal Drivers for Dualshock controllers on PC so devs don't have to keep putting it in their games (and devs don't forget 95% of the time).

Your monetizing 10-year-old games that are not selling anymore. Where is the risk.

 

[Real_Madrid]

It's not a port, it's just an expensive streaming service that's going to be available on everything. Being on PC is not that revolutionary. My Samsung smart TV has a PS Now app (but I live in Europe, so it's a no go for the moment).

One can only imagine the profits they make from every subscription. It's like Netflix, the added cost for one subscription is very low, so they need to get this on everything.

I'm losing all mah exclusives to the PC Bruh and it hurts mah feels. /s

You can't be serious

 

[jmaine_ph]

This service is on Samsung TV's already. It was only a matter of time before it came to PC. Now if but when.

 

[ViolentP]

PS Now doesn't do PS4 games.

 

[SargerusBR]

So this means i can finally play the entire Metal Gear saga on PC?

 

[Salty Rice]

now canceling my plans to buy a ps4 neo

Do that but PS4 games gonna run really bad on PC. Like Nothing at all haha

 

[RockTurtle]

Emulation would usually imply higher resolution or framerates or the like. This is like streaming from a console you don't own.

this sentence is scaring the bajeesus out of me for some reason

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Here we go!

Im loving this future.

Spoiler

I don't need my PS3 anymore... But Ill keep it!!

 

[fastest finger]

I forget if multiplayer PS3 games can be played on PS Now, on PS4.

They can.

 

[Jotaka]

You can't be serious

/s = /sarcasm

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Wow, this is great news!

 

[PSOreo]

Men, didn't get it on the PS4, certainly won't get it now.

MGS4 would change that though.

The reason a lot of the MGS games never appeared on the service was due to the pressure sensitive buttons on the dualshock 3/2. Basically some of the main control functions won't work on the new dualshock 4 so I'm not sure how a keyboard will work.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

So this means i can finally play the entire Metal Gear saga on PC?

there is no metal gear games on PS Now

 

[SargerusBR]

there is no metal gear games on PS Now

FUCK

 

[RibMan]

Lol wtf is this.

The future.

 

[Clint Beastwood]

This is literally a move by Sony to make more money. How is this the rise of PC?

because PC was never looked at as a platform to make money until recently?
