Shouldn't they focus on making it available for more European countries first?

I've played a few games when I had the two week trial. Games like rags, platformers and adventure games fair better than racing games and fighting games. Some of the games I played, i would have never thought were being steamed as the quality was amazing.

Opinions, everyone has them, fact is video quality is inferior & input lag is horrendous!

Can people finally stop saying that it's "backwards compatibility for the PS4" and "paying for games you already own"?

It was already accessible on certain TVs (which are the furthest thing from consoles) and now it's on PC.

How is this service "BC" and "paying for what you own"?

Meh... I am not a fan of streaming games so I will skip... Least everything seems to becoming playable on PC so this will be good news if true for those who havn't played them.

Pretty much my feelings. I have a massive backlog of PS3 games on disk and on HDD that will never play as it is. Aside from the fact that streaming is an inferior devilery medium, even if all things were equal, I would have no use for PS Now.

Streaming video games won't be a thing during our lifetime.

It clearly already is.

Here are the recommended specs for running PS Now on your PC:

  • Windows 7 (SP1), 8.1 or 10
  • 3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10 or faster
  • 300 MB or more; 2 GB or more of RAM
  • Sound card; USB port

 

 

Hahaha, holy moly, this can't be right. Right? Right?! I mean, it works on small Android phones and needs a 3,5 GHz processor on a PC? I guess it will work fine on a C2D easily, too.
