Sony realizes the console business will stagnate at some point so they introduce there service on PC.

This is cloud gaming based.

The games run on Sony servers and get streamed to any compatible device (has to be able to decode the signal and have drivers to handle a Dual Shock controller). It requires 5 Mbps internet per stream.

I believe this is the result of Sony acquiring OnLive (which used to do this for PC titles).

Sony acquired Gaikai before they acquired OnLive, and Gaikai is what powers PlaystationNow which is what is running this service on PC.

Would much prefer proper PC ports. Not interested in subscription services for games, although I know this is where the industry is headed. Subscription, digital rentals and stream based.

Assuming everyone has insane optical lines. Which is just not the case. There are still people stuck on freaking dialup or crappy 128kbps or 256kbps cable/DSL lines even today which is just crazy.

Or satellite.....which the ping just makes majority of online gaming impossible. I'm in one of those areas where it either that or dail-up.

If subscription based games will play on PC, why does it say this when you go to the 7 day free trial page?

"IMPORTANT NOTICE: To use this 7-day trial, you need a free PlayStation®Network account, PlayStation Now compatible device (including PS4™, PS3™, PS Vita, select Sony Bravia® TVs, select Sony Blu-ray Disc™ players or select Samsung Smart TVs), a compatible DualShock® controller and a 5Mbs or greater broadband Internet connection. You also need to accept the PlayStation Network Terms of Service. Service availability and performance may vary by area or other factors."

If I have to have one of those devices, and play on a crappy DualShock 4, I'll pass. I actually think MS is doing it a LOT better with Scorpio, since it will support KB/M. Sure you have to buy the system, but at least they let you use PC controls. Plus Scorpio is compatible with all open platform VR systems, while Neo is tied exclusively to Sony's Morpheus.

Sony's going to be left in the dust when the 4k platforms launch if they don't rethink their marketing. I'd like to play The Last of Us on PC too, but if I have to use a DualShock 4, it will be the same old frustrating experience I had playing it on my friend's PS4. So far I haven't seen Sony say they're committing to KB/M support for Neo like MS is with Scorpio.

PS Now is the subscription service that lets you stream hundreds of PS3 games to your PS4 and Windows PC (coming soon).
Which probably means it could be limited to upscaled 720p.
"The app launches overseas in parts of Europe soon and will come to North America shortly thereafter", so don't be too eager to start your 7-day free trial.

BTW, OnLive was fun. Before I moved my PC to a new house few years ago, I had to use a crappy laptop (a4-5000, 4GB RAM) and it was enough to stream Witcher 2. At that time I had 10Mbit/s connection.

I wouldn't mind playing Eternal Sonata again. I played it on Xbox 360 like .... 10 years ago? Gosh, it's been that long.

Liked it.

My Sony TV has this Sony game service built into it. I tried it out wireless and hard wired to my 60 Mbps service and it was terrible. The service will automatically adjust resolution to provide best performance kinda like youtube and on my wireless connection it was unplayable. On hardwired I could play no problem but it looked like crud. The last time I tried it out was earlier this year so maybe they have it working better now I dunno.
