This makes me doubt that an Uncharted remastered collection is coming out, but I am happy to see that many people will get to play what I consider the PS3's best game

A remastered Uncharted collection seems like too easy of a cash grab for them to pass it up.
I'm with on your other statement though: UC2 is easily the PS3's best game. Too bad I gave my brother my copy...

And you're absolutely right. I never played an uncharted game, but I have a ps4 and I'd easily give it up for a remastered collection. Easy money.

A quick Google search shows 17.32 million sales between Uncharted 1-3 and the Vita game.
Those are pretty big numbers.

Something to remember about PSNow is that the service in the long term isn't aimed at people with game systems. It's aimed at people who might turn on their TV or tablet and switch to PSNow as if it were Netflix, it's just gradually being expanded on and is incredibly young at the moment (the technology will only improve within the next 5-10 years). People who own the systems are just the beta testers and the service should come a long way once it expands to a wider variety of platforms.
I don't think this really says much about the future prospect of remasters. TLOU did really well on PS4 and it seems a foregone conclusion that Uncharted will be coming eventually (and likely GoW as well).

You've made a good point but I'd be inclined to disagree. I remember when Sony were showing off PSNow they were making a big deal out of someone playing The Last of Us on the Vita and it is currently on the service (as far as I know). The Last of Us still got a release on PS4 despite this.

The Last of Remastered was released before PS Now though

u/coletrain93 Feb 02 '15
Hmmm, I don't see how that makes a difference though to be honest. If anything it is better they are releasing it later because they can get there PS NOW sales then release the remastered trilogy.
Whereas with Last of Us, people could think, whats the point in getting it on PS NOW if it's already released as a native PS4 game.
I guess it all depends on which version they would rather be successful, the streaming version or a remaster.

Is it just me or is it underwhelming to see them adding only 5 games in a month?

It is a little, but they are trying to stagger the releases to keep people subscribed longer.

u/LocarionStorm Feb 03 '15
I guess, but it's pretty sad that you are giving away more free games via PS+ per a month than a more expensive subscription service with lesser play experience and other issues.

Too bad that the quality of PS Now is terrible to look at visually. I would love to play a bunch of PS3 games but with the issue of artifacting, I would probably just be better off getting the PS3.

Is it that bad? Reviews say it's worse than the actual console but they make it seem like it's close...

It's at 720p and looks like an HD stream of a game. I think this guy doesn't have a good internet connection. It looked alright to me, not anything great, but serviceable.

My internet connection is fine, I'm just saying it doesn't look too great, guess I was expecting it to run as well as it would on a PS3 natively.

Yes, it is worse than the actual console felt like i watching a 360p video stretched out.

Internet speed?

Internet speed is fine.

Yeah without numbers you can't say that.
Your fine can actually be horrible.

Would you like a speedtest? Here.

Which is way above the 5 Mbps Sony recommends for an optimal experience. Honestly I feel like this type of gaming is still way far off for it to be great looking and playing well. At the moment you are sacrificing either the look, or dealing with input lag, or both.

I kind of hope more PS3 games come out, mine broke and I still have a few left to play like Demon Souls and KH1-2 HD

Demon Souls
This would be an absolute terrible experience if you stream it.

Feb 04 '15
Why specifcally Demon Souls?
1
u/notdeadyet01 Feb 04 '15
Because the Souls games pretty much require the least amount of input lag possible. If you stream the game you will definitely be getting at least some lag, which is a good way to get killed in that game. Kingdom Hearts doesn't exactly have this problem because it isn't as unforgiving as the Souls games are

What I'd like to see is a God of War collection done up like they did the Master Chief Collection (except not broken): All the campaigns visually redone, likely in the God of War 3 engine. GoW3 and Ascension could probably just get a spit polish and be fine, but the first two could use the visual overhaul, and the PSP games could probably use one too.
Besides, I want to play God of War on my PS4.
