Check out the compatibility list below as it continually grows. I like to get everyone the right info and I like to help others get the most from there electronic devices. I enjoy playful cleverness and the exploration of technology. My Motto: You own it, you can do whatever you want with it.
Why cant we just have backwards compatibility for ps3 games so we can just put the disc in and play like xbox. Emulating that would require more power than the PS4 has. FeistFan Definitely.
I remember reading that the PS3 with the Cell processor cost Sony more than they could reasonably sell the console for and they were counting on making up the difference in licensing fees which I am sure they did.
It was a completely different architecture, and I doubt there will ever be any backward compatibility on different hardware. Sony has dedicated servers with these processors to allow streaming of PS3 games through the PS Now service. PS Gear not available down here, luckily a select few retail stores can stock basic items..
Hi Aaron, To answer your question, yes every game in the library is included with the cost. You can stream any game to PS4 or PC, and you can download any downloadable game in the service to your PS4 at no additional cost, as long as you have space on your hard drive. So, this update seems nice. Read up on PS3 games on PS4. So we can have the game in their Native resolution and even with PS4 Pro support now instead of the p resolution or it stays the same?
You can also play online multiplayer modes without Plus for games downloaded via PS Now. Thank you for the answer.. I really hope you guys listen to the massive Socom community and remastered the PS2 game for Socom 2 and Combined assault with online play. Are you guys planning on adding the ps3 catalog aswell?
I really miss playing Red Dead Redemption and it would be amazing to play it on my ps4. PS4 game downloads are a bonus feature for the same subscription price.
Red Dead Redemption is definitely one of our top PS3 streaming games. If they can do it, you can, too. And you can do it better, because your exclusives are better. PSNow is cheaper than game pass though. I mean its like at games now and you can play them on PC. I cancelled my game pass for now. All I heard is that 7 day trial, one month and even one year require that, just like one month of PS Plus. Do what I do. If you have a credit or debit card use it. Once you buy what you want delete the information.
PS3 emulation is basically impossible they would have to do a lot of work on each game to get them to run on PS4 so you wont be able to download. There are about 50 PS2 classics available to purchase and download to your PS4. We just happen to have 13 of them in the service as an additional benefit to subscribers, to stream or download as part of their subscription. I never asked for free. I said that a subscription service to access games is an unnecessary hurdle when I can just buy the games and cut out an extra unneeded fee.
I want to own them. It bothers me immensely that this is the road Sony has chosen. You can still buy the PS2 games. Hello Brian Dunn, I am from Brazil, and I hope playstation now service become available in my country with the download feature.
You see, we have a bad internet speed in general over here, but with this new feature, the brazilian players would enjoy playstation now… So you see, there are TONS of brazilian players who would pay for playstation now, so if Sony wants to make lots of money, for sure you should think about this issue.
But think fast, meanwhile you are losing time, because xbox game pass is already available here, and I can assure you, Sony is losing money each day, by the lack of the service here. Can I hope playstation now will be available in Brazil soon? Can my husband play the downloaded PS Now game from my account in his account too? That would be amazing! You 3 different subscription services Plus, Now and Vue, Has there been any thought of offering combination packages at reduced combined rates.
Say pick 1, 2 or all 3 for price A, B or C to reduce the hit on Customers who want all three. We often recommend media and products we like. If you buy anything through links on our site, we may earn a commission.
Moving from the original PlayStation to the PlayStation 2, one of the big benefits was being able to play old games on the new system. This set a precedent where, to this day, gaming console buyers often expect backwards compatibility with older games in newer systems.
Part of the reason the PlayStation 2 had backwards compatibility is that it had most of the original PlayStation inside of it. The PS2 also had the PS1 sound chip built-in. Not that it was easy to make backwards compatibility work in the PlayStation 2, according to an article on the subject by Tetsuya Iida and translated by Tom James.
The only way PS1 games would become widely available is if Sony made an official software emulator that allowed them to sell the classic games digitally. While it is possible to play some classic games on the PS4, not all fan favorite titles are available, particularly those from the PS1 generation. There is also a level of inconvenience that needs to be accounted for. Source: Tech Advisor. Alexandra is a freelance writer and editor based in Montreal.
