Can any of you guys think of some good couch co-op games on ps4?
I tried it out last year, i had 40mb internet at the time and some games weren't even streaming in 720p, it was sub hd and i just felt the game selection wasn't that great. Overall i didn't really like it, i wish it had gone the same route MS did with backwards compatibility. Most games get a boost in performance, screen tearing is eliminated and framerates much more stable. Also i already had old copies of Black Ops, Fallout 3, Just Cause 2 etc so i didn't have to pay anything.I gave that Playstation Now service a try. I put it off for so long, 'cause I was extremely skeptical. All I can say is holy shit, they actually did it. Streaming games actually works. And it works very well. I've tried a few games so far, all varying in degrees of technical strength, and they all worked with very few issues. The only game that had a noticeable hiccup was Ninja Gaiden 2. The pause menus have quite the delay. That's about it though. Issues I was concerned about like delayed button input, dips in video quality, or general lag haven't been a problem. All the games I played are pretty much equal to their retail counterparts.
The only big issue I can see, is that it obviously eats the shit out of your internet usage. If you don't have an "unlimited" plan, I've read that the service eats up about 2 gigs an hour, which is kind of nuts. And of course, your internet connection has to be fairly strong. Until they can sort those issues out, it probably won't be the go to service they want it to be. I imagine it will sort itself out in time though, as technology gets stronger and stronger.
All in all though, I am very impressed.

yeah i didn't experience the input delay but that would be a deal breaker for me depending on how bad it was. i just remember doing a side by side comparison of dead space 3 (i think) on ps now and on my 360 and it was night and day how much better it looked on 360 kinda turned me off of it.Having spent a little more time with it, it ain't as good as I first reported. I've run across a lot of games with a slight button input delay. It doesn't sound like much, but it can really fuck things up. I tried out the most recent Borderlands, and the delay rendered it nearly unplayable. Even some of the simpler games like Mega Man 10 had a delay, and that's a deal breaker for a game like that. Oddly enough, the games that have performed the best, have been the fighting games. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Ninja Gaiden were flawless as far as I could tell.
Presentation wise, I've got no complaints. Some ever so blurry textures here and there, but for the most part the games look like they should. But yeah, I've kind of soured on it, and probably won't go any further with it after the trial is up. Will definitely be something to look out for in the future though, as they continue to make improvements.
Has anyone played the Earth Defense Force series?
I ending up buying it. I'm loving it so far, I don't know how long it will last though. The graphics suck, controls are a little off, but god damn is it fun. Armor upgrades and weapons are boxes you pick up while playing. There's big robots, drones, etc for enemies also.I'm thinking of buying that shit too. It looks pretty great, and sounds like a near flawless console port. Giant bugs seem like a pretty lame enemy though. Also thinking of Shattered Skies but it sounds like PvE isn't really up and running yet, and that it's not planned to be a significant part of the game anyway. White people problems
