GameFront: "Papo & Yo deals in some fundamental truths about abuse, addiction, and maturity, and I certainly didn’t expect it. It may be short and easy, but it uses games to convey a psychological message that would be otherwise impossible without interaction. If you have a family member going through an addiction of some kind – especially alcohol – or you have suffered abuse at some point in your life, you really need to play Papo & Yo. If you are one of the lucky people who have never experienced abuse, you should play Papo & Yo anyway. It’s a beautiful and haunting game, and you won’t regret it. Just don’t expect your journey to last long or challenge you in any way."
NEW GAME+: Can you tell a tale in silence? A Bird Story is a great example of how to tell a story without words.
GearNuke: "PlayStation Now Beta invites have started to roll out for the PS3 and PS4. As users are starting to get their hands on the Beta, we are getting leaks about the games included in the latest PlayStation Now Beta. Thanks to an anonymous leaker, we can now take a look at the current list of games available on the latest PlayStation Now Beta."
True. But considering the fact that it is in Beta phase, and also taking a look at the recent leak when PS3 games appeared on the PS4 store, I feel confident that the lineup when it launches will be solid :)
yeah, I wasn't trying to imply that this was anywhere near the type of selection we should expect. But if I was involved in the Beta phase, I wouldn't be super excited about this round.
I know by the time the final version rolls out the library will be massive and quite varied.
I'm excited just to play some of the larger 1st party titles from the PS2/PS3 era that I missed.
If these are the types of titles that PS NOW will have at the time of official release, then this service is dead before it gets off the ground.
How so. Because they dont interest you? I for one think the list looks great considering I never got around to purchasing or playing rocketbirds, oddworld strangers wrath, dead island riptide, papa & yo, overlord and return of matt hazard. Plus you dont gave to subscribe to the service if it doesnt attain to your liking. Oh your an xbot. No wonder. Cant wait for Microsoft to shut down their spy console. Good ridence. Can we please get sega or sonething back.
Yeah, that's right, because they don't interest me. Do you really believe that people would actually pay a monthly subscription for those games?
I don't know anyone who would be interested in that list of games. People would be better off just sticking with PS+.
To sell a console you need big blockbuster games, and the same can be said for a streaming service. This isn't supposed to be some supplementary add-on service, this is an entirely new business venture.
I love how if you aren't jumping up and down at this news suddenly you are an "Xbot" according to Monolith. BattleAxe is simply saying that if Sony is not including their large 1st party titles into the PS Now library, then the appeal will be even less. Great that there are titles that interest you, you would see value in the service with games like that. But many others would simply not.
This isn't the full release list... I think it's naive to think this is the same list you will have outside beta. I'm enjoying the beta, and can't wait to hear more about their plans.
Sony said the streaming content is more than just a monthly subscription. When they announced it they mentioned renting games, subscribing, and streaming demos instead of downloading.
I'm in the beta, and have liked what I see. I'm sad to see the old list of games go, but, hey, it is free games.
I'm sure they will talk a lot about their full plans at e3 as PlayStation now it's set to release in the summer.
Looks like I'm not beta testing this. I got my code now but line up of games looks boring.
They track that. Part of the reason you get the code is based off of physical location in the world. That's why beta = testing.
They want to optimize for people with different isps, locations, speed, etc..
Is playstation able to play online games such as streetfighter or is it just sp, because i see this as a fail if it cant do online.
Entropy's Narelle Ho Sang reflects on Atlus’ Devil Survivor 2 and Papo & Yo to talk about "dying" in gaming.
