Having just bought a PS4 after many years of Xbox, I find it odd they don't have a combined service to replicate Backwards compatibility. I know PSN does through a streaming service but it would be nice just to have an option of buying an older title and playing it.

Not made up my which service to use. Really only have a PS4 for exclusives and need PSN to access God of War, Killzone etc as I like playing older games.

This is how I do it, although not ideal in any way shape or form.

PS3 for old games.
PS4 for PS4 exclusives.
Xbox One X as most games are native 4k now for sofa playing.
PC for the eye candy and better framerates.

But this is not ideal for everyone, but it is the only way to get the best gaming experiences. PS Now streaming service for older games just sucks big time, hence the need for a PS3.

On PS Now, do you have the option to store the game on the HD and play from there?

No it is just a streaming service.

Actually I think this has changed. You can now chose to download certain games instead of stream them

Surely the latency will be pretty bad for streaming, i'd have thought it would be far cheaper just to let you download them and software emulate them (or is that not possible)?

Very interesting thank you. It seems that is just for the PS4 games though, I think PS2 and PS3 are still streamed?

Ah that sounds better. I'd be happy to sign up and use a service like that.

Yeah I think it's an emulation issue as far as I'm aware

I haven't used it myself so can't speak to the quality of the service but it sounds more appealing that just streaming for sure

If my ps+ lapses, I know I can't play ps+ games, but I assume once I renew I still have access to ones I have acquired over the years?

EDIT: I answered my own question with a google

This is the first month since VITA and PS3 games was discontinued.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered

The Witness

I can't say I'm too excited for this.

Got both of them on xbox. So meh month for me too.

Ah well, nevermind. You win some, you lose some.

Decent month in my opinion.

Having said that, I already own / have completed Witness and no interest in Cod!

JBeck · 11 Mar 2019 at 08:51

Not a bad month, what it has done though is remind me how infuriating MW is on Veteran! :mad:

It must be a weekend deal as it is still on today so I snagged it. Covers me until 17 April 2020.
