Begun the Streaming Wars have!

Thoughts on the price?

Personally I will likely re-sub for 2 more years at this price.

Still a hard pass for me. I refuse to pay for something I already own just to play it on my PS4.

@michaelmikado: Well obviously but since you did post this on a public forum and ask for thoughts on the price I did give you my opinion on it unless you weren’t expecting for others to post their opinions on it I have to wonder why you would make such a topic.

I never really liked PSNow, so this is a hard pass for me. Decent price for those who use the service.

You don't like streaming at all. As you expressed, the price doesn't matter. It was never a question about whether you liked streaming or not.

Oof. The only good thing I can say about PSNow is that it's cheap. Still wouldn't buy it because I had an awful experience when I tried it, and I resent paying for ps3 games that I already bought last gen.

That's a good deal. I'm sure there's a few games that'd easily make up the $60 price. Plus they are allowing download on certain games, for those that say they don't like streaming(even though once MS goes all streaming, they'll suddenly love it). Not sure if it's posted yet, but PS Plus is $45 on the PSN store right now also. Remember when a bunch of people on here said they'd be all for paying for a combined year of PS Plus with PS Now for $100? Well this is close.

I might actually buy it just to play MGS 4...but buying a PS3 is probably cheaper in the long run.

*edit* Oh yeah, they took out MGS 4 a while ago.

I was actually just thinking about this...

$45 PS Plus with 10/month PS Now to supplement the reduced number of games

$60 PS Now with free PS Plus for PS Now games

$100 PS Plus NOW with expanded EA Access library.

Honestly I just thought they would make a new tier at $150 rather than making all the services cheaper.

My experience with psnow was subpar. Not worth 5 bucks a month as of now. Too much latency.

I'd rather play the game on my PS4 without input lag over the internet. If Sony wants to go this route, they could just publish their games to Steam with some PS button prompts.

Does anyone know if Bloodborne runs as bad as it does on the PS4 hardware, or is it better?

Cuz it runs really bad on the PS4 hardware.

@pyro1245: The game has frame pacing issues that arise from the way it's programmed. It would need a full remaster or a large patch to fix its issues.

It's because the frame rate target is 30, but the engine will kick out more or less than that while averaging 30. Anytime you get less than 30, certain frames are being left on the screen for twice as long.

Dark Souls III has the same issue on the PS4, but on PC has perfect frame pacing. Dark Souls 3 is also stupid easy to get running at solid 60fps on PC. Go figure.

So yes it is the engine, but only because they try to lock the frame rate to 30 on a 60Hz display and the engine doesn't always stay locked to 30.

It definitely doesn't run any better. Sony servers are terrible and don't let you download at super high speeds.

I heard Sony fannies are allergic to anything that requires an internet connection.

Pay me. Then I might consider gaming on a stream. Input lag and delayed picture suck.
