PlayStation Now is one of the more interesting streaming projects in the gaming sphere right now, promising to deliver PlayStation 3 games not only to game consoles, but directly to TVs as well. Now that the program has entered open beta, what it offers is exciting, but the service is still very far from a product that will really wow either experienced or neophyte gamers.
PlayStation Now gets one key thing wrong right off the bat: It's not easy to find. There's no main menu shortcut to PlayStation Now, so users will instead have to rely on an advertisement in their feed (which, for us, was buried under our friends' recent activities) or access the PlayStation Store manually. This is not difficult, and not likely to dissuade any fans from checking it out, but it's still a few more steps than it needs to be.
PlayStation Now in the future will become a strong for is the future, yet it will take some time to perfect as Sony will attempt to accomplish.
with companies remastering games like its no ones business theres really no point in PlayStation Now. all of the best last gen games will be remastered. unless you want to stream FIFA 2008 or something stupid like that.
not easy to find? its right on top of the playstation store list.
my only problem with it so far is that my internet has gone out several times when using it. i dont know if its a psnow issue, or if my isp is limiting my streaming. either way i dont plan on using it solely because of this issue.
It's a good attempt but definitely needs improvement. I hope Sony can manage this better in Beta than they did Home. That thing was in the beta stage for ever.
This was a very well written article and I applaud the author even though I disagree on some things.
Sony is working with the publisher for more titles and lower pricing/subscription based model.
I would recommended a hard wire connection if possible because that will correct the "lag/graphics" issue.
I'm enjoying PS Now "sooner" then "later"
I don't mind ps now never had a ps3 so looking forward to playing some games especial ico series finished the first one twice been looking forward to 2 and there are countless other games I haven't played. So for less than a 10 pound note I'm happy ( I know prices will variety)
