@pelican_food @TheNCSmaster @Nibellion You should. The issue with native play comes from the unique setup of the PS3 hardware. It’s not like they can’t get a PS emulator software mode to be built into the OS or an app a la the Nintendo/SNES Online. If they build in an app like ePSXe, it’s over lol

I joke about this, but who knows, maybe this will be just the sort of thing that'll slap Nintendo awake and do better with their service. But probably not.

Playstation's rumored response to Game Pass seems more like a response to Nintendo. The beauty of subscription services is that many of them can thrive due to low pricing accessibility, but a lack of day-and-date first party games coming to the service will be seen as a knock.

@GenePark I think the headline is pretty clickbaity, seems just improving service offerings rather than a one to one copy as no day one releases. You see Nintendo trying to improve with the online expansion, I just see it a similar move with a strategic price probably

@maethrilllian @Guitar_b0y @BenjiSales Well Nintendo is successful with their service, so Sony can be competitive without copying someone else.

@rich8606 @BenjiSales It will make it more expensive no doubt, but still can be priced right so it isn’t the same price as gpu. Like you see Nintendo trying to improve their service aswell, maybe not great reception for it but I see that this is what Sony is doing…just improving service offerings

@DiscussingFilm If that service for PS1, 2, and 3 games is reasonably priced then **** yeah i will get it. Sony……. Don’t **** up like Nintendo did.

@PaulTassi I think Jason was just tying to make a headline with compete with ‘gamepass’. I don’t think it’s trying to match but offer better service offerings in one focussed subscription with tiers, like Nintendo is doing but hopefully it bit better out the gate

@GenePark I believe both Sony and Nintendo have the biggest library in gaming and it’s a shame they don’t have a subscription service

@Blike_Dante Nintendo owns all their **** so Sony gonna have to spend a lot of extra money to get their big time hits to that service

@Shonnieb2 @StayTriggered25 @jasonschreier Sorry you consider Metroid an indie game. Seems more like a you problem personally. Nintendo has it's problems but once again they aren't the subject being talked about

@mauvecow Man, phone hintlines were sure a funny thing. I remember getting in trouble for calling the Nintendo one back in the day because it cost a whole extra five bucks once.

@JackmoveJohnny If that's true, then that is ***. It's a mixture of Game Pass and Nintendo's trash Online service, if true.

@earthbound64 They still have an E on the box the vid shows so it's have to be the whole service, except they'd be doing E - M or whatever applies to cover everything in one lump, I'm pretty sure ads for Xbox and Playstation do that in general so Nintendo should be

@Jawmuncher Honestly, I'd only get a subscription service like that form Sony IF they offered a lot of PS1/PS2 games. Nobody except Nintendo at this point releases enough genuinely great 1st party games for me to pay a monthly service for modern releases alone.

We just bought a second Nintendo Switch for the family and I ran into a problem. Is there a way to have a copy of my save data on BOTH systems without having Nintendo Switch Online? This seems like something that should be easy to do, but actually is not.

@MercyKnifed @NintendoAmerica They got to take their time to make the ports good. If you got a problem go somewhere else.

@Stream_Catchers @CBR Sadly it’s just a PS now rebrand with the top tier getting BC (probably streamed) and demo access. No day 1 first party games like Gamepass so by that it can’t be looked at the same. More comparable to Nintendo’s Online service.

Dont really that much if Sony is launching a new subscription service that could or would rival Xbox Game Pass What i wonder after this announcement is "WHEN NINTENDO WILL DO A BETTER ONLINE OFFER" because ******* N64 Online is still ****, they didnt fix it and yet announce game

I AM ERROR.
(@ZamorianMog) reported
@IGN I'm all in for the BC but not the service model. It doesn't work for me no matter if it is Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo.

@JoshuaClaytor Nintendo makes the best and worst decisions simultaneously. They have a service with arguably the greatest games ever created. But the execution and support is beyond poor.

(@rodney2x4) reported
@TheNCSmaster @IGN They know old games still sell, so they make it extra hard to get older games to drive people into a new service. The fact MS made BC a normal thing without it being a attached to a service was surprising to me, but clearly Nintendo and Sony can’t or won’t do that for reason$.

@burantsu Part of the issue is that nintendo beating down the competitive scene does make it more of a talking point. If nintendo was just a normal company then id imagine there'd be way more talk about some of the other modes

(@TheRealMcDan) reported
@CapnMintbeard I disagree. If it makes money despite being below par, there’s no incentive for Nintendo to fix the service. They need to earn the money, and the fact that so many people will just buy it despite its state because Nintendo is disheartening.

on one hand, I like that Sony is realizing people want legacy content and are giving people SOME way to enjoy it on the other hand, ****, first Nintendo, now Sony's trying to get you to pay a sub just to play crash bandicoot
