How PlayStation Now sets PS4 apart from Xbox One

Are you excited for PlayStation Now? Even though it's not the answer to PS4 backwards compatibility it could be a game changer for Sony.

Not really...what's stopping Ms from doing it as well.

Thats a good point. However, they're not doing it and Sony is. That's the difference.

Spurg3756d ago

Yeah because Ms just decided to stream Halo 4 on a device just for the sake of it.

MasterCornholio3755d ago

Microsoft will do it but the question is when?

And until they do that's another feature that the PS4 will have that's not avaible on the Xbox One. Like streaming via twitch (for now).

The big question is when. It's one thing being able to stream one game to a device, it's a totally different thing having a service beta testing at the end of the month with releasing on a big scale in the summer. For all we know Microsoft could be years away from a sellable service (there is a lot more than just streaming a game when it comes to a service like this).

A gaming, TV, and movie service would be incredible. May as well throw music in there as well.

Hopefully Sony is finally leveraging their vast media and entertainment resources into something innovative and cohesive.

There's no reason why they couldn't have been Netflix.

The way it appears, Sony has said less about cloud gaming, and done more before Microsoft did. Their foray into providing consumers with hands on benefits begins later this month.

That is going to have quite some lasting perception unless MS comes out and shows what their cloud is all about, because that seemed like a major selling point for their new console.

more walk than talk,eh?

actually Sony used the power of the cloud as far as i know early as Uncharted 2

its amazing how the PlayStation has risen from the most belittled brand inside Sony Corp to one of its most enduring brands today and perhaps Sony's saving grace.

very interesting

ps3 was the ugly duckling too that turns out to be a beautiful magnificent gaming swan song for the 7th gen

Sony is evolving pretty well.. Im liking the great changes they made so far.. No longer arrogant & unfocused.. Now theyre seeing the big picture & are starting to make great changes that benefit its customers

Sony did learn from the previous mistakes with the PS3, but none could expect it would be this much.
Right now, I like where they are going.

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
