Haha i'm not saying that it will never happen .. but it certanly won't happen during this generation xD 

Well then I will quote this and post it on your wall if it does... If you don't mind that is!

Sure whatever you can .. but think about it puting major ps4 exclusives on some 720p streaming service during it's prime time would be very dumb and it would make no goddamn sense from Sony's part.

Lol you guys really think that Sony is going to put games like UC4 and Bloodborne on PS now xDDDD

Why not? You have to pay 100 dollars yearly for Sony. It really doesn't make difference for them if you're doing that instead of buying a US$ 250 console. Also remember that you have to buy their 50 dollars controller to play.

I just think that it's a total shame that they cut-off Smart TV support. Pairing a DS4 with any TV and start playing was a great idea. I also can't understand why they won't add Android and iOS apps to play. You could connect a DS4 to your phone using a clip (Sony could even sell one to be greedy) and play on your couch.

Anyway, I'm not that found of this game as a service future that Sony, Nvidia and others are trying to push on us. People like to say it is exactly like what Youtube did to movies or Spotify did to music. But guess what, you can still download music and videos. That's not necessarily true for games, so we could lose all of our power over what we play. Even emulation would be dead and older games would be buried forever after the streaming services decided so.

Thanks for the insight! How long have you been working for Sony?  Are you in the PlayStation division or did you just overhear that during a meeting?

Dude it's just common sense .. come on don't be mad you will be able to play UC4 on pc in 3 or 4 years.

Well I think it makes some sense depending on what Sony's plan is. So firstly, both UC4 and Bloodborne has been out for quite sometime now and I think for the most part, the people who really wanted to buy them already bought them at full price. Then you have the ps4 bundles where the base slim model comes with UC4 at no extra charge. So Sony is practically giving away UC4 for free as long as you buy a ps4 slim.

So if they put Bloodborne and UC4 on PSNow, I don't see it doing much harm to their console sales at all. Neither Sony or MS sees PC as a competitor at this point because the price/performance you get for buying a ps4/x1 can't be matched by a PC of similar specs at the same price (unless you really go digging into the used territory but thats a lot of inconvience). 

In the end, I think what will happen is Sony will port 1 year old or more exclusives to PSNow and increase their subscription service user base. Also it doesn't have to be at 720p streaming, they can also do 1080p 60fps streaming for the games that supported it since GeForce Now does that already.

I still think there's no way that big and important games like UC4 will be on Ps now during this gen but we are all here talking out of our asses xD let's just wait for more detalis from Sony.

That's what renders it unplayable. Half a second input lag is unacceptable for anything but a turn-based game 

It's acceptable for anything but online comp play from what I've expereinced.

Try aiming in a shooter from half a second behind.
