LOL Now that's what I call a spicy, hot take.Falling far behind with streaming, Sony really needs to step up or it's going to shut down like PSvue
Yeah not a lot of people know this.
By select they mean all but 5 PS4 games. Or something really small.Still can't understand why DL is limited to select PS4 titles. Previous gen ok, I can understand. But PS4?
Who's ahead of PSNow in terms of game streaming right now?Falling far behind with streaming, Sony really needs to step up or it's going to shut down like PSvue
PSNow has been total shit since day 1. I don't see why titles $19.99 and under are the big pull. Everyone who wants those games has them already without dealing with the horror that is PSNow.
Ok. When Gamepass is killing it. There's no reason why shit like Death Stranding isn't available. Charge more if you need to, PSNow ain't worth it.
Oh no, please don't reply to that person. For them, Stadia means life and death by sword on a hill.
Death Stranding doesn't have direct multiplayer, no in-game store to nickel n dime people with overpriced skins, doesn't have battle pass etc, and no goals for "long term user engagement" or "player retention". Pretty big reasons to not give it away for $1 or even $15.Ok. When Gamepass is killing it. There's no reason why shit like Death Stranding isn't available.

That would maybe be a fair argument if they were giving them away for "free" (ala PS Plus) but a month or so to play a game that will be sub $20 in 6 months is ridiculous.Death Stranding doesn't have direct multiplayer, no in-game store to nickel n dime people with overpriced skins, doesn't have battle pass etc, and no goals for "long term user engagement" or "player retention".

Exactly, I mean it's not like the outer worlds just came out on game pass or anything, a game loaded with in game purchases /sDeath Stranding doesn't have direct multiplayer, no in-game store to nickel n dime people with overpriced skins, doesn't have battle pass etc, and no goals for "long term user engagement" or "player retention".

When Sony's game be selling 3 million it's first month, is at least 3 million reason why it's not.Ok. When Gamepass is killing it. There's no reason why shit like Death Stranding isn't available. Charge more if you need to, PSNow ain't worth it.
Yes, the OPs weird got em attempt backfired.

Lack of first party games (no this is not me saying they should be there day 1) and more recent big 3rd party hitters. Just imagine how much better the service would be if the inFAMOUS games, The Last of Us Remastered, The Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection, The Order 1886, Ratchet & Clank, The Last Guardian, Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, WipEout Omega Collection, Detroit Become Human, God of War and Shadow of the Colossus were there permanently. Those are all over a year and a half old by the way.
I've never thought about this but if you can download PS2 games on PS4 through PS Now, doesn't that mean the PS4 is backward compatible with PS2 games? Or does it work differently than, say, downloading Xbox or Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One?
And can you download PS2 games outside of PS Now?
If Sony really wants to lead they should just merge Plus and Now. One subscription that can support PS4/PS5 downloads and streaming, pays for online, cloud, discounts, services, etc. Even if more expensive the simplification will make more sense to consumers and draw a clear distinction versus Microsoft's messy 3 plan approach (Live Gold, Game Pass, XCloud).
And if it doesn't happen, then I don't have much incentive to sign up for it, and I'm not alone.That's not going to happen while Sony's major AAA exclusives keep selling gangbusters. I don't get the impression that Sony is trying to be the "Netflix of gaming", maybe something more akin to HBO.
Xcloud and stadia already show far better results in testing and GeForce now in its beta, and stadia offers new 3rd party games, something PSnow needs to offer instead of only older games
There's no reason games like Uncharted and God of War shouldn't be on there permanently.
putting first party games on PS Now, but removing them after three months is so stupid it deserves to fail.
And if it doesn't happen, then I don't have much incentive to sign up for it, and I'm not alone.
Who knows. First party games should never leave a streaming service after being put on.Didn't Sony make a very expensive looking PS Now commercial advertising God of War and Uncharted 4?
Why put yourself in a position where that commercial is going to be false advertising in less than 3 months?
Why compare those two. Gears 5, Outer Worlds, hell Psychonauts 2 (which looks amazing) are all day one on Gamepass.Yeah they should have put spiderman day one to match crackdown 3. Even steven. Absolute parity.

Some of these posts are going to be so stupid looking back in a few years when Sony moves more of their first party titles on PSNow
