Sony PSNow on PC

Anyone tempted by Uncharted, Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption on PC?!

£12.99 a month presumably if the cost is the same for PC as it is for PS4 owners. Maybe a free 7 day trial might appear where I have a maniacal week of playing through all those before I have to pay?!

£12.99? You're hopeful. $20 = £20 to most businesses

It's £12.99 for ps4 UK users though isn't it?

Sony suggests its £12.99 https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/playstation-now/faq/ (at least for PS4 or 'TV' users)

Oh wow, that's actually a really good conversion rate considering $20 = £15 at the moment and even at best of times would be £13 (before VAT)

If I hadn't already picked up a PS3 to play all these games or it had PS4 games then I might have got it for a couple of months.

I am very interested to know if they might render at a higher resolution considering this will be run on a server farm and how easy it is to play with keyboard and mouse.

That's what I want to know, find controllers impossible to aim with, much happier with mouse and keyboard. If the mapping is customisable it would be amazing to play full keyboard and mouse controls.

I find that as well now, never really noticed much improvement when I first moved to PC, but over time and after 1000+ hours in fps games in a few years, I find controllers impossible for anything but little puzzle games or racing.

My missus made me CEX my PS3 years ago. TLoU and RDR are distant memories... All I can remember is how amazing they were.

PS3 was definitely the superior for exclusive story based games, and Xbox for multiplayer.

Heavy Rain, Uncharted and Infamous are just a few on top of those two in my collection that I need to play and force myself through the controls.

Here we are guys, it's live on PC. It's a stream service and requires a ps controller for play (no keyboards )

Can't imagine it will be long until someone spoofs the controller to be able to use keyboard and mouse.

No red dead redemption = jog on sony

Though I might do the 7 day free trial on a week off to complete Last of Us.

Can't wait to play that game! But only with a keyboard.

That and the uncharted series

Found this http://www.howtogeek.com/250624/how-to-connect-a-mouse-and-keyboard-to-your-playstation-4/, further down there's an add on you can use that converts keyboard and mouse input to ds controller signals, it's expensive but works for every game. I wonder if this would work with ps now?

Edit: I've ordered one and will try it on the trial of ps now, will update with results. Can't see any reason it wouldn't work.

Ok, the Xim4 doesn't work with PSNow YET as there are complications passing a start and ps key. Xim are aware of this and working on updating the firmware to support PSNow, fingers crossed!

It works really well with the PS4, playing the Uncharted collection at the moment. It supports a major range of keyboards and mice, was surprised to find my RAT7 and Corsair K70 RGB to be compatible.

Why did I not know of this years ago!

Sony updated remote play so you can now stream in 1080 60, catch is you need a CUh-7000 ps4. (Google tells me that's a ps4 pro)

;(

also i received the dualshock 4 wireless usb adaptor, what a pile of.... you'd think it'll be as easy to use as microsoft's xbox controllers, but nooooooooooooooo
For some reason it's registering the dualshock 4 as a speaker -.-

If you have Bluetooth you shouldn't need a USB adapter.
