The second issue: You’re capped at 720p resolution. Either DualShock PC drivers have gotten a lot better or PlayStation Now is just better at support, because it worked perfectly. God of War III Remastered is a PS4 game though, so I bowed to pressure and plugged in a DualShock-there’s no Xbox replacement for that big touchpad in the center. That works fine, so long as you’re playing a PS3 game and, of course, have the DualShock button layout memorized. DualShock support for the PC is notoriously spotty, so I was worried-worried enough I actually played the original God of War with my usual Xbox One controller. First of all, it does warn you to use a DualShock 4 for the best experience. I’ve been bouncing back and forth between my couch and my desk all week as I blitzed through God of War and its sequel. Like the aforementioned Xbox Play Anywhere program, PlayStation Now games all support cloud saves. That was really the selling point for me. (There’s a trophy for that accomplishment.)Īnd as I said, there’s full PC support. I even made it through the infamous spiked columns section without taking any damage. I thought for sure those would be the sticking point, the feature that would make God-of-War-over-the-internet a nonstarter, but with the exception of one or two “I could’ve sworn I pressed that button in time” moments I didn’t have any issue. That includes all the annoying quicktime events the series is known for, reflexively hitting Triangle or Square on command with only a second leeway. I wouldn’t want to compete in professional Counter-Strike tournaments this way or anything.Īfter eight or nine hours I finished God of War though, completely through PlayStation Now. Even on the low end that’s 125 milliseconds, which means it’s still noticeable to the observant player. I’d say there’s maybe a quarter or even as little as an eighth of a second of latency. I’d like to pretend there was some huge revelation, but the only revelation from my time with PlayStation Now is that it felt normal.
