![]() They recommend 5 meg – no worries, I’m on Infinity 2 with BT – far exceeding the minimum requirements for good gameplay. Now one of the caveats that you are warned about when taking out PS Now is that you need a fast Internet connection. However, the experience on these games wasn’t fantastic. I tried probably 70-80 of the games available and, to be honest, only around 3 kept my interest more than a few minutes – namely, Crazy Taxi, the Golf Championship and F1. There’s some old favourites like Crazy Taxi (what a game!). Apart from that there was mainly many indie games that I hadn’t even heard of (don’t go looking for Rocket League – you won’t find it here!). For example, Formula 1 was on there – but F1 2015 – not F1 2016. In February 2016, there was probably between 10-20 ‘big name’ games on there – but many of them were older versions. After all, they do make more money when people purchase the game and as popular games will be purchased anyway, despite the price tag, it’s really not in their interests to license it on this kind of model. the games that you really want to play aren’t on there – due to lack of a licensing agreement with the publisher. Now PS Now suffers from the usual woes that subscription based models hit – i.e. No downloads, just streaming the games directly. Unfortunately, after only half a day of game play, I didn’t use it for most of the rest of the week of the free trial and I’d actually cancelled it (set it to expire) the day after starting my trial.Ī brief introduction to PS Now – it’s gameplay on the cloud for a subscription fee per month. ![]() ![]() It seemed that the future was here and maybe this would be a good way to be able to play games without fear of the dreaded ‘dud’ game that you’ve started, played on for an hour and now hate.Īt the beginning of the trial I fully expected to continue to pay the monthly subscription of £12.99 / month. Having taken the week’s trial on board in February, I had pretty high hopes. Barely a couple of months ago there were only 150 games available on it – now it’s up to 180. In an effort to try and solve some of these problems, Sony came up with the concept of Playstation Now. Of course there are video game rentals, but that involves waiting on the post and usually paying a pretty high fee – particularly if you have lulls where you don’t play a lot – or when, for example, you go on holiday. Many of us will purchase a game, play it to death for a week, and then be left with the completed game that we never play and go and trade in for next to nothing. It’s a great concept but a big shift in the way we game – or so Sony hope. Playstation (PS) Now has been around for a while, and Sony have been pushing it for just as long.
