Playstation Now announcement. Sound Familiar?

Not so sure that will happen, as I said, if I get bored. But I have a list of at least 24 games I will be playing on the new console, and that isn't including any possible digital releases. A few of those 24 games will be heavily online based so ill be playing
it with friends for quite a while. There are little to no older PS games that will keep me from playing the new upcoming titles. That is just my personal preference, I'm not excited for it. I wouldn't even be excited if MS tried something similar for their
old titles, which are far far less than a PS library.

 

Why is anything Sony-related even in this forum? Are they similar? Yes. The same? No. There, end of discussion. Move on (or take it to Sony's forums)...

I agree, why play older games when you have next gen games, IDK don't see the point in that.

Next gen doesn't equal better games.

If you like RPG's then there will be nothing out for a very long time ( if ever) on the new consoles that will come anywhere close to the PS library of RPG's.

I think GoW 1 and 2 on the PS2 are much better than Ryse. It's a shame that people think if a game doesn't run in 1080p it's a bad game.

 

lol, pretty much anything is better than ryse, even knack

Thread was started by a Microsoft "fanboy" that backfired on him and now we have to drop the subject?

It's actually very relevant to Microsoft. There are many like myself who feel Microsoft is going the wrong direction and catering to the casual/multimedia crowd rather than the gamers that helped them get to where they are. Maybe they should seriously consider
streaming 360 arcade titles and Xbox games, when it's all said and done I think it'll be the gaming community that makes or breaks the One.

 

I concur this is not a Xbox one topic and should be removed regardless who started it.

[/quote]MS never stopped catering to gamers, they simply added more to cater to a larger audience - that is not a bad thing. As for older games, if you still want to play them, why get rid of them in the 1st place? In regards to your last point, the gaming
community will ALWAYS make or break ANY gaming console.

 

Yep not sure a Sony related topic is on here, especially when the poster seems to have little to no understanding of what it even is.

Service could be great but will be a wait and see. I can see it being a great service for people new to the PS brand and wanting to play the old franchises.

 

We are talking about PSNow on the Xbox forums....something tells me some of these ppl should be saying "Why are we talking about PSNow on the xbox forums."

 

There is nothing wrong with playing older games, I've enjoyed going back to my 360 over the past week while I'm waiting for my next X1 game release (Thief). One thing I wouldn't do though, I wouldn't be paying again to play games I already own/owned on disc.
Plus, I just can't see this working to well. I hope ms don't decide to waste their resources and time trying to copy the idea.

 

Also....if MS was doing this for the X1....most everyone here would be optimistic.

.

But b/c it's Sony and the PS4.....it's failing before it starts. Sounds like some ppl need to take their own advice with the whole "You don't have a X1, so don't trash it" approach.

.

As for all the geniuses that say bandwidth is a problem. So many other countries are ahead of the US in that department....and bandwidth evolves constantly. So theres nothing saying 2 years from now it won't be a problem.

At some point you have to get rid of your older games or you end up on an episode of Hoarders ;p Thankfully I've gone all digital on the PC but between my 360, PS3, PS2, DS, PSP, Vita I've still got over a 1000 games and I sold a bunch of 360 games prior to
the One release.

It is a bad thing if by catering to a larger audience you lose many of your core audience. I have friends that I don't consider gamers that picked up a One for the multimedia aspects of the console, they'll probably buy a dozen or so games a year. I have friends
that played last gen on the 360 (who are gamers) who have moved over to the PS4 or in most cases gone strictly PC. My One has already turned into an extension of my TV and if I had more HDMI ports it would probably never get turned on. My PS4 is used for all
cross platform.

Why did Microsoft lose me? I hate the fluff. I don't want to "snap", I don't want DVR, I don't want Kinect, I want simple and I don't have it. I think it's obvious from my gamercard I'm not a Sony fanboy so they have lost a "gamer" as a customer and it'll take
a dozen casual/family console buyers to recoup what I would normally spend in a year.

 

I think the service will live or die on how the subscriptions work. If I could choose to pay for a single game or all the way up to everything available then I'd be keen. Would be cool to be able to subscribe to just FPS games or Adventure games or even
just a franchise like Uncharted. Maybe even just a developer such as Naughty Dog or Sony Santa Monica. Then the service could offer suggestions going by what I like. Hmm this could be awesome!!!

Also MS have already shown Halo 4 running on a Surface so are obviously toying with similar ideas.

 

@Blitz....I doubt this service will work well with FPS unless in single player/campaign....a room full of mixed bag connections wreak enough havoc when you have the game loaded locally, let alone trying to stream all audio/chat/video to everyone in the lobby....the
lag/hit detection will be lousy....not necessarily because of your ping, but the ping of some other players in the game.....we'll see, but I have my doubts they can pull it off in that situation. Now, RPG/arcade/single player campaigns might be more doable
with the lag.....

 

Here's the deal folks, a gamefly sub is $40 a month for any four games at once. If you really like your old PS3 games get gamefly and keep your PS3 and do it that way. Game streaming sucks! This service still does not convince me to purchase a PS4. If the
PS4 was BC out of the box I would have worked out a way to purchase it along with my XB1.
