gaming Playstation Now - Good or Bad?

[1Bit 1,531]

so yeah, Playstation Now, a streaming service for PS4 was announced during all of the E3 stuff recently and in my opinion, I dont know what to think of it. 

 

It's cool that you can play last gen games on your PS4 now and there's a large game library available, but does that really justify the high price to pay? The PS Now service costs around $45 for 3 months. And that, on top of PS Plus, is gonna set you back a lot of cash just to play old games.

 

But, I dont know, what are your opinions on it? Is it good? Is it bad?

 

 

^ $230 a year...Just wow... ^

Bad, very bad. Some people dont have good connections, and if you lose your connection while you are auto saving, welp, say goodbye to your work.

Considering its really steep price, the fact that it's only PS3 games currently, the fact that bot everyone has good connections for streaming games, and the fact that the competition(Xbone and Wii U) are backwards compatible...yeah it kind of sucks

A lot about PS Now will have to change before I so much as consider it.

   Once Sony added improvements to PlayStation, they did not know when to stop, now it has gotten more complex and costly, although the game graphics look good, they take longer to make games, and the cost rises too, we have come a long way from PlayStation 2, when the games had compelling story lines, and easy to learn game play, as a result we got closer to the game world, and gave us feelings, with games such as Medal of Honor and Ace Combat. Now too much focus is given to the marketing strategy, and shilling products that may not have been beta tested, the expense is more that you expected, or the quality is not what you wanted, so these developments are making it hard for me to like PlayStation, for they seem to have a void in their soul, and have forgotten their customer base, Sony appears to have turned their backs to gamers, young and old, I hope they can turn around their attitudes, but for the moment, they have gotten decadent.

I guess it would be a pretty cool service for gamers if they lower the price a little or at least make more past gens and games compatible. If they do that maybe they can justify the price without changing it too much.

 

Though in my opinion I wouldn't buy it if I had a PS4. Sorry Sony
