| KBG29 said: I guess it may just be my area, but I have never had any issue with latency on PS Now. I have consistanly 10ms or below ping/latency on the modem side, and my Bravia only has 17ms input lag. Even with my Comcast modem I never had any issues, and that was with 40 - 50ms ping. This seems like something that only hardcore gamers are going to be concerned with. I see the average consumer not noticing much if any difference. I also think the core gamer will see no issue once they try the service. DS4 has less input lag than DS3 did, and new TV's are much better with lag than older LCD's. Plus it always amazes me seeing people playing games with LCD's that are in cinema mode, that alone makes me think that the average madden, call of duty dude bros will not even notice a difference. |
That's a lot less latency than I expected. I was basing the latency times on my experience with Remote Play (Which I assume PS Now uses similar technology/software for). Maybe I'll try it sometime.
Also, I think another reason people are against PS Now (or other rental services) is due to the fact that games have progression, whereas movies don't. When you watch a movie, you can pretty much watch it once and you'll be satisfied, even if the right to watch that movie is taken away later. But most video games have you making progression, and losing the game means losing that progression.
