Play new additions from 2K

PlayStation Now will be adding 50 games tomorrow, including Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, The Darkness II, Spec Ops: The Line and Duke Nukem Forever from the illustrious and immensely talented folks at 2K. In addition to these new additions, you can also play some of 2K’s other top hits, including Borderlands, Borderlands 2, BioShock, BioShock 2, BioShock Infinite, XCOM: Enemy Within and NBA 2K14.
Here’s a bit about the new 2K titles we’re adding this month:

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Launch into the Borderlands universe and shoot ‘n’ loot your way through an exciting adventure that rockets you onto Pandora’s moon! Play as four character classes while carving a path of destructive mayhem across Pandora’s never-before-seen low-gravity moonscapes with all new moves, weapons, and vehicles! (Rated Mature)

The Darkness II

The Darkness II is an intense first person shooter that puts you in the role of Jackie
Estacado, don of a New York crime family and wielder of an ancient supernatural force of chaos known as The Darkness. (Rated Mature)

Spec Ops: The Line

It’s been 6 months since Dubai was wiped off the map by a cataclysmic sandstorm. Thousands of lives were lost, including those of American soldiers sent to evacuate the city. Today, the city lies buried under sand, the world’s most opulent ruin. (Rated Mature)

Duke Nukem Forever

Put on your shades and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. With hours and hours of over-the-top single player action, and a range of bodacious multiplayer modes, rest assured knowing the fun will last. (Rated Mature)

Second, we’re announcing a special discount on the 3-Month Subscription (a savings of 33%) that will be available in the U.S. and Canada starting tomorrow and ending July 11, 2016. The discount will apply only to the first subscription period purchased during the promotion, and subsequent periods will be charged at the full price of $44.99 for a 3-Month Subscription. Full details and eligibility requirements are available here.

[dragonflys545]

Going to give it a try at that price.

 

[playXray]

It's getting there. Still needs many more games and a more cost effective subscription option (tied with PS+?) but this is a step in the right direction.

 

[CREMSteve]

That's now the same price as a Netflix sub. Great value.

 

[icespide]

have they improved audio on PS Now? any surround sound options?

 

[DannyDanger]

full list anywhere?

 

[K' Dash]

I wish I could sign up and play on any device I want, it's going to happen eventually, though.

 

[Murdamonk]

Do you guys know if arcade sticks are supported on PS Now? I want to play KOF13.

 

[HF2014]

The input lag killed it for me. Suck because i was really impress by the visual quality.

 

[friskykillface]

Is there a list of every game available on PS Now online anywhere? I'd like to see whats on the service , might subscribe for $29.99

Yep, I was really looking forward to playing Resistance 3 with a DS4, but the input lag made it impossible to enjoy. I've had good experiences with other games, but I try to avoid playing shooters on PS Now.

 

[amrod]

they need to make this work on android and it would sell well

 

[redhood56]

Spec ops is amazing and if anyone who missed out on it last gen should give it a go.

 

[mishakoz]

Cool service, but it's a lot of games I have played. Went looking for Dark Souls the other day, shame it's not there.

 

[BeforeU]

Is this service profitable? Have Sony said anything about the subscription number? Because I dont know anyone who has it and not seen a single article on this in any media site for a long long time.

thanks

I recognize that this is only one of the problems it is meant to solve, but I want local backwards compatibility, not PS Now. Adding latency and a subscription service does nothing for me personally.

 

[bomblord1]

Completely unrelated (well loosely related) but the Atelier games are on PS Now I have just now remembered. Completely forgot about that (list of all games available in the Ops link let me see it)

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Spec ops is amazing and if anyone who missed out on it last gen should give it a go.

By amazing you mean awful 3rd person shooter with terrible graphics and an OK story.

 

[Blueboys1306]

We ever getting this in Australia?

 

[DannyDanger]

not this again...

 

[autoduelist]

By amazing you mean awful 3rd person shooter with terrible graphics and an OK story.

Mechanics/graphics are questionable at times, but honestly, that only plays into the entire experience. And as an experience, I'd agree with the other person it was amazing and one of the most memorable games I've ever played.

 

[Abdiel]

I recognize that this is only one of the problems it is meant to solve, but I want local backwards compatibility, not PS Now. Adding latency and a subscription service does nothing for me personally.

It's not one of the problems is meant to solve. Ps3 backwards compatibility isn't possible. It's not. Please stop. Sigh.

Psnow is more geared towards folks with no console at all rather than people who want backwards compatibility.

 

[EdReedFan20]

It's not one of the problems is meant to solve. Ps3 backwards compatibility isn't possible. It's not. Please stop. Sigh.

Yeah. My Blu-Ray player has it (granted it's a Sony). But Samsung TV's have it, too. One thing they really should do though, is make a PS Now app for PC/Mac. Maybe build it off the the Remote Play app. Also, maybe include all the functionalities of the iOS/Android PlayStation App (including the PSN Store).

 

[Sangetsu-II]

400+ games for $10 a month (3 month sub discount)

Who could say no to that? Getting it this week.

 

[KingBroly]

Wish I could use PS Now on PC like Remote Play.

 

[Memento]

This is getting really good. Unfortunely I dont think it is feasible with my internet.

 

[NinjaMouse]

The lack of Yakuza games on PSNow is amazingly frustrating.

 

[blackjaw]

Yakuza games available yet?

 

[Already Torn]

Still no Demon's Souls or Dark Souls

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Before MS made 360 game playable on XB1, I'd have believed you.

 

[driver116]

Is this service profitable? Have Sony said anything about the subscription number? Because I dont know anyone who has it and not seen a single article on this in any media site for a long long time.

If you compare it to something like Xbox BC then it's incredibly profitable. Though this is not BC.

 

[Memento]

Still no Demon's Souls or Dark Souls

Dont worry, they are saving it for the Remastered Collection which they will announce next week at E3.

Spoiler

Dear God, please...

 

[Anarky]

Can we just have more ps2 classics instead? Input lag killed this dead for me. It was unbearable.

 

[icespide]

Before MS made 360 game playable on XB1, I'd have believed you.

the 360 is not the PS3

 

[Kyoufu]

Still no Demon's Souls or Dark Souls

Demon's Souls is available on JP PS Now. I would imagine it's coming to other regions eventually.

 

[BeforeU]

If you compare it to something like Xbox BC then it's incredibly profitable. Though this is not BC.

heh? you think MS spent and are still spending same amount of money that Sony spent on that cloud company and are still spending on servers to keep this thing going?

I highly highly doubt it.

so you can't really compare the two

 

[DannyDanger]

wat????????????????????????????????

this thread is so short, yet already so ridiculous

 

[Melkezadek]

Yea I can't say no to this deal. Really sweet price.

 

[GametimeUK]

People confusing backwards compatability with a subscription service again. Do you complain that you pay for Netflix, but it has movies on there that you already own?

Didn't think so.

 

[driver116]

heh? you think MS spent and are still spending same amount of money that Sony spent on that cloud company and are still spending on servers to keep this thing going?

I highly highly doubt it.

so you can't really compare the two

One makes money, the other does not.
The servers are nothing special. Virtualisation is a wonderful, flexible tool.
Besides, the buyouts of Gaikai and OnLive, are written off as elimination.
It's an investment for the future. A pretty good one and all.

 

[brickarts295]

It'll bite for this if there is nothing interesting during the E3 Sale.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Is it possible to 'rent' a one off game, or do you have to buy the whole shabang?

 

[5taquitos]

Subbing for three months, and I'll mainly be playing games I already own just so I can use the DS4 controller and don't have to switch inputs.

I ain't even mad.

 

[icespide]

Is it possible to 'rent' a one off game, or do you have to buy the whole shabang?

if you aren't doing the subscription, you can only rent

 

[driver116]

Is it possible to 'rent' a one off game, or do you have to buy the whole shabang?

Yeah. The majority of games are not included in the sub. And the rental prices are kind of a rip off. They do swap the games in the sub from time to time.

 

[TriangularDuck]

Holy shit Katamari Forever, finally

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

wat????????????????????????????????

this thread is so short, yet already so ridiculous

He said it's not possible. I would have said the same thing pre 360 BC. I know the PS3 is not the 360, but saying something is impossible seems silly at this point, especially if you are taking Sony's word for it.

 

[Already Torn]

Holy shit Katamari Forever, finally

That was added weeks ago!

 

[TriangularDuck]

That was added weeks ago!

Damn, I thought I've been checking every time they make these announcements. Good thing I didn't notice, because I would have subscribed at the 45 dollar point for Ratchet + Katamari, but now I can do 30 bucks instead.
