PlayStation Now Adds Downloading of PS4, PS2 Classics Games
- Thread starter kennyamr
- Start date
I know it's might be impossible but I wish we could download PS3 games as well. Playing RDR on PS Now is fcking depressing.
are you really comparing renting (20$/€)month vs full bc? plus the service is not aviable ww..
sigh...
Yea that's a bad list.
I can't see how anyone who's had Plus would want this considering the amount of IGC in there.
Ok... This part is weird as hell:
PS Plus is not required for PS Now multiplayer games, but... If you start a game on PS Now, and then decide to download it, you must...
- Transfer the save from PS Now cloud to PS Plus cloud (PS Plus required)
- Transfer the save from PS Plus cloud to local storage
The fuck...

Game changer. Now I have every intention of subscribing to the service. Great news.
Edit* Didn't read the PS3 bit, no longer interested. It was literally the only reason I wanted to.

Yeah, if PS5 has free backwards compatibility with PS4 and allows you to download PS1, 2, and 3 games locally with PS Now, the game is over.
Quick and dirty list from: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/playstation-now/ps-now-games/
PS4
PS2
I would do PS3 list for streaming too, but that uses 2 columns and is a pain to format here.

Just imagine. Playstation 5/V/FIVE. PSNow with games from every gen. Downloadable. Fuck it, throw in your old discs, too! It just works!
Since this is only for the PS2 remasters and PS4 titles... you can already do that? Just buy the game on PSN. The PS3 titles aren't able to be downloaded.
But they could be. I was just talking about PS2 games that could be available for it.
Better than decent, this will be incredible value for certain people, it really depends on the games you value.
The list will of course keep growing. PS1/PSP games Sony!
Yeah same.
It's cool but PS3 would be what would tip it for me.
Imagine how killer this'd be on an actual PS3; the ability to download and try hundreds of games? I'd buy a PS3 again for that.
That's fantastic. I'd subscribe if they let me download at least some of the games on PC, but I totally get why they wouldn't. Still, downloading is better than streaming by quite a bit
PS Now service is available on PC and PC gamers without a console do not need PS+.
I would assume so tbh. If they are doing this right now. I can only imagine they are actively working on trying to get PS3 games working now or will try for the PS5. Because if they can get PS3 games working then it immediately becomes a service worth subbing too.
The 3-month sub is $29.99 and the 12-month sub is $99.99. So there you go.
If they add first party titles on release date, then it will be a great service, just like Game Pass
I get that. I just think it's a really damn weird workaround for getting your save to work if you download a game.
This is also interesting because sony pays you for getting trophies (via sonyrewards), but without being able to get PS now for cheap/free I'm not sure it's worth it for that.
MS should respond by paying you for achievements, and since they're much more competitive with handing out gamepass subs that would be a much better overall deal.

The reality is the putrid list posted above your post. 7 PS2 games that aren't noteworthy titles and a bunch of indies and low tier AA for PS4. They didn't even include one of the 3 Uncharted games on PS4, if that's any indicator of how much Sony gives a shit.
But you can? All of these PS4 and PS2 titles can be purchased on PSN and played on PS4.
Game Pass changing the industry for the better, great to see.
Now if only they'd get a working PS3 emulator on the PS4, and get full PS1 and 2 BC, then we'd be talking megaton.

Gamepass is not available on PC. That's a big difference ( and probably a headache on Xbox's side )
