Do not offend the fanboys my friend. Even a simple, harmless joke can unleash a world of butthurt at N4G.
Butthurt fanboys are butthurt.
Next-gen starts when they stop making games for 5 platforms instead of 3 (X1, PS4, and PC). Not saying they shouldn't make games for last-gen, but I do think they are holding back next-gen to some extent.
EA, go home, you're drunk... On second thought, have another drink!
Well no sh**. If I had a $2000 pc i'd expect better graphics than a $400 console.
The whole argument with the IMAX/Theater comparison makes no sense. Sure you'll be paying anywhere from $8-20 for a 2-3hr movie, but you're getting the full experience. If the movie theaters were like PS Now, then we would be charged $2.50 to watch the first 30 minutes; $5 to watch the first hour, and $10 to watch the entire movie.
As a PSN subscriber, you should be able stream 1hr of gameplay for free and then decide if you want to pay for 7-14-90 days of streaming. ...
In that case, this program was a fail from the start. The only way this will work is if PS Now becomes a monthly fee subscription service.
I wouldn't even pay $1 to play the majority of these games for 4 hours; let alone $2+. And yes, I'm well aware this is just a BETA, but lets no kid ourselves, don't expect much of a price drop when the full version comes out.
Where are all of the EA games? Oh, wait....
This seems like a good value to me, but i'll wait til EA adds more games to the program before trying it out. Currently, PS Now charges about $3 to play a single game for only 4 hours, all the way up to $29 for a 90 day access.
EA lets you fully download ALL of the games in their library, no XBlive subscription required, for $30 a year or $5 a month. Sure, PS Now has a lot more titles to offer at the moment, but EA will add more titles in the future.
Eith...
I thought Sony was all about giving customers more options?
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony pulled a 180 in the near future. How ironic would that be?
Looks like a cool service, but I'll probably wait till they add more games before I pull the trigger. There is nothing wrong with having more options. I understand EA as a company sucks, but you have to admit, this does seem like a good deal.
Both consoles have their pros and cons. At the moment, I personally prefer the Xbone. The PS4 has better hardware but the Xone has better software.
In the end, I went with the Xbone because despite the PS4's superior hardware, the graphics thus far, are pretty much the same. But I would definitely consider buying a PS4 down the line. That's what's so great about this current market; WE HAVE OPTIONS.
............oh yeah, and there's the WiiU as...
Lets cut the B.S. and be honest with ourselves for a second here. Sony made this decision to protect their interests, not their customers. They know if they add EA access, they'll loose a good chunk of customers from their PSNow service.
I thought Sony was all about giving customers more options? It's not like people will be forced to subscribe to EA Access, it's just an extra option that will be sitting there in case you ever want to try it out. Sort of like Netf...
But it's OPTIONAL. YOU make the decision whether you want to subscribe. This is pretty muck like netflix on your console.
I like the idea of having full access to a game for $5 just to try it out for a month or so, as opposed to spending $60 on a game i'll get bored of after a few weeks.
The main component that will determine the order in which this new generation will conclude is the exclusive software. Lets be honest; if it weren't for Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers, the WiiU would be a lost cause.
I never realized how crappy M25 looked until now.
You don't need to tell me.
Your tears are delicious by the way...
It's a good value. But I'll wait til they add more games to the vault. But if you're someone who plans on buying about 3 or more EA games in the next year, the subscription almost pays itself off on the 10% discounts.
