So I got curious after hearing you could download stuff on PSNow (and apparently have been able to do so for quite awhile) and decided to compare services. Holy hell PSNow is like...WAY better than I thought it was. The library is huge compared to Gamepass and if you're not into MS first party stuff it seems PSNow has a much better selection. In fact if Sony started adding their first party stuff but only made those available a year or more after release on the service they would make the service even better. I'm still not into it as I have a big backlog without trying out a bunch of stuff just because it's in a library but to compare
Number of Games
PSNow=650
Gamepass=I didn't feel like counting every one and couldn't find an accurate count but eyeballing the list it looks like around 250
Price
PSNow=$60 a year
Gamepass=$120 a year
Notable Games that I saw
PSNow=Batman Arkham and Telltale games, Bioshock 1 and 2, Borderlands games, Castlevania Games, Darksiders 1 and 2, Dead Island games, Devil May Cry 1-4, Dishonored 1 and 2, Dynasty Warriors 6-8, FF15, GoW 1-Ascension, Gravity Rush 1 and 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Heavy Rain, Beyond 2 Souls, Infamous 1 and 2 and FoB, Killzone 1-Shadowfall, 13 LEGO games, Lost Planet 1-3, Mafia 2 and 3, MGS 2-5, Shadow of War and Mordor, Read Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare, Rainbow Six Siege, Ratchet and Clank PS3 games except for ToD, Red Faction games, bunch of Resident Evil games, Resistance 3, Resogun, Saints Row 2 and 4, Shadow of the Colossus, Silent Hill Collection, Sly Cooper 1-4, Street Fighter 5, Elder Scrolls 4, Last of Us and Left Behind, Uncharted 1-3, Until Dawn, New Wolfenstein games
Gamepass=Ace Combat 7, Alan Wake, Banjo Kazooie games, Arkham Knight, Borderlands 2 and pre sequel, Darksiders 3, Dead Island, Deus Ex, Destiny 2, DMC5, Doom Eternal, Fable 2 and 3, FF7 9 and 15, latest Forza games, All Gears games, Halo games, Killer Instinct, Kingdom Hearts games, LEGO star wars 3, Mass effect, MGS 2 3 and 5, Shadow of War, Monster Hunter World, Mortal Kombat X, Rage 2, Red Dead 2, RE7, Sunset Overdrive, Man of Medan, Outer Worlds, Witcher 3, TWD season 1-3, New Wolfenstein minus 2, Yooka Laylee
So am I missing something? Like those are the ones I think are actually big games on there (ok some of it is my taste and there's too many to list) and some series DMC and LEGO have WAY more games on PSNow. I don't get how people are so obsessed with Gamepass when it seems cheaper and more plentiful on PSNow. I won't sub to either but actually looking at the lists for the first time in awhile I'm shocked at how much PSNow is offering because I've had Gamepass pushed as the gaming godsend every thread about next gen. Well...I fail to see that it's a game changer unless you were already a huge Halo and Gears fan. Like sure there's some more recent stuff but the sheer volume of games and QUALITY games is AT LEAST equal if not better on PSNow from what I see.
Why doesn't Jim Ryan bring this up? Why doesn't Sony push this more? Furthermore, why don't they SLIGHTLY improve it to make it make an even bigger splash like throwing Spidey or GoW on there after a year or 18 months on store shelves when they've had most of their sales already and are heavily discounted physically anyway?
