Opinion: With PSNow, the PS4 seems like a waste of money

[OdinHades]

Available on the crappiest PCs? I don't think so. I'm using Remote Play a lot and it doesn't run decent on anything below i5. I have a tablet with a Pentium and it works there, but not at 1080/60p. More like 720/30p. I don't know what Remote Play needs the processing power for, but I'm guessing there is some serious encoding/decoding going on or something. And I'm pretty sure PS Now uses the same technology. So I wouldn't try playing that on a crappy PC unless you like lag and stutter.

 

Edit: just checked, PS Now runs at 720/60p. So if you like good image quality, the PS4 is definitely not useless.
