I've heard you can connect a controller to a tablet and I've seen some funky contraptions that turn your phone into a controller. I guess those could solve some of those problems.
It would be neat to have Now as part of PS+ or even for a little bit more if you have PS+.
I might like it for new releases 'cause it's so expensive to buy games day-one, but ultimately I like to own games I really like.
It's always about keeping the money streaming in for them isn't it. No new product? Resell old product with some new tweak. Diablo III, Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed IV are all getting next gen versions but that's what usually happens when new consoles arrive.
I find it weird thinking about playing games on a streaming service like PSNow and not actually own any of the games, but then I used to be attached to CDs and DVDs. Now I don't really care about that stuff. We'll see.
It's taking a lot longer than CDs and DVDs. Those are both still around but in much reduced numbers - no music or movie stores around anymore.
All of those look great!
I used to be into Gamefly.
I would think stock prices just dropped for them as well as GameStop this week. Maybe they'll just get their own streaming service and be truely just like Netflix with the same choice of streaming or discs through the mail.
I just heard some more news about Steam Box. That's coming too.
Yea, I keep thinking about variability in internet speeds being a big problem. But then Obama did promise high speed internet to all Americans. When's that gonna happen?
If there's even one game that I want that's only available in physical form, then I'm keeping my consoles.
I only briefly dabbled in emulators and such when I was into PC gaming. That was a good option if you couldn't get a game any other way. I had MAME running at one point so I could play Sky Shark, which isn't available in it's arcade perfect form.
It seems like anything that's already on PSN will be there, but I wonder what it takes to make a disc game streamable. If there's processing to be done, and money required to do that, than maybe the library will be more limited.
For me lag is not acceptable in any game. It's the one thing that has to be perfect to get me on board.
