Here’s the first round of PS4 Exclusives on PS NOW

Sony recently made the controversial move of announcing PS4 titles will be joining PS NOW later this year. The first move would be a closed beta, which has now started. Here's the list of the first round of PS4 games.

Killzone &Knack are the only true PS4 exclusives

UCForce2589d ago

Those two are very old games. I think they are 4 years old now.

Overload2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

After all the "exclusives are done" hot takes after the original announcement, this is hilarious.

freshslicepizza2589d ago

well i never played killzone or knack so maybe i will sign up for one month and play them then quit. see how the service is on the pc. i think you can also get a 7 day free trial.

Kingthrash3602589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

Yupp I called it and was the first to break the news! It's a rushed video but thanks Playstationbrah for the exposure... Lol I knew it tho. Wasn't going to be nothing but old games that never made it to ps+. People were over reacting
the games take a little more time to load but steam pretty well, at least for me...but overall like I say in the video I own all of these games so hopefully the second round will be better.

Eonjay2589d ago

Of course they are old games. I can't believe anyone really thought otherwise. You could pay $20 to beat every new game in a month and then drop the service. Think guys! Sony is a business. Thats not gonna happen.

sonarus2589d ago

i'm still waiting to see knack released on ps plus

UltraNova2589d ago

Two things: when should we expect knack and killzone on PS plus? Now that knack and killzone are on PS Now there is no need to get a ps4....oh wait!

You called?

-Kingthrash36010d ago
Most likly games that are already on pc...ps4 pc games

According to what you said, there would be no TRUE PS4 exclusives. Nice try tough. Welcome to reallity ! ;)

The days of console only exclusive games are done!

Mr Pumblechook2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

Knack? SIGN ME UP! This is what i've been waiting for.

When Sony said PS4 games would be available on PS4 everyone was thinking Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne. In fact it looks like all the indie crap that people complain about when given away free with PS Plus!

darthv722589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

I'd imagine driveclub, the order and a few others will get the 'now' treatment sooner rather than later. All it takes is a few to start the ball rolling.

In time we will see uncharted, last of us and bloodborn on there as well. Maybe even horizon on the horizon. Adoption rate has everything to do with increasing the selection in a timely manner.

joab7772589d ago

Newer than the other games on Now. It will get better. They are starting out this way and as it goes they will begin to develop a plan. Obviously, it just be profitable first, but if it shows promise, we may eventually get the option to pay a monthly fee and play new titles the moment they launch...With the continued option to buy each title.

But it may make sense for some to use the service, especially those that buy every new game, or have children with different likes etc.

Death2588d ago

@King,

Even had you "called it", isn't it a little soon to know what the future of PSNow will have? These are the games in the closed beta. I would say it's safe to assume "new" games will be a timed exclusive so the streaming service doesn't cannibalize new game sales.

Kingthrash3602588d ago

I called it in a video on YouTube. ..
Its only common sense that they would put old games on psnow. Putting new ps4 games on it would defeat the purpose of being in the console business. Especially when your bread and butter is consoles. There are so many indies that the ps4 section can be robust without new exclusives. I don't doubt that one day big games of today like horizon will be on psnow....it just won't happen for 3 years or so. Let the games die down in sales be like 19.99 in psn and then you'll see it.
Even if psnow wasn't on PC they would do the same. The method is recycling old games, And making money you wouldn't normally make anymore by putting them in a service.

If you wait 4 years to play a ps4 exclusive on steam, you deserve to play it on what ever device you choose. Movies are free on network television sooner than that.

Kaneki-Ken2589d ago

PS4 games never coming to steam.

Obscure_Observer2589d ago

@Kaneki-Ken

"PS4 games never coming to steam."

Well, they made it to Windows 10. And Windows 10 only (no Linux no Mac). I wouldn´t bet my life on Sony´s way of business. Or MS or Nintendo for the matter.

"Well, they made it to Windows 10. And Windows 10 only (no Linux no Mac). I wouldn´t bet my life on Sony´s way of business. Or MS or Nintendo for the matter."

MS owns WIN 10 so releasing Xbox games on Win 10 benefits MS only. .. PS exclusives will never make it to PC , steam, win 10 because Sony wont earn much from them.. PS NOW is a streaming service so subscription to PS NOW is beneficial to Sony only

KillBill2588d ago (Edited 2588d ago )

"PS NOW is a streaming service so subscription to PS NOW is beneficial to Sony only" - arijitfrens2006

Point is that it specifically utilizes an MS service Win 10 and thus promotes the use of that service thus is beneficial to MS. Just as it is NOT beneficial in the least to Linux or MAC it IS beneficial to MS.

The same way FREE titles are beneficial to MS on its systems, they draw interest in said system with what can be done/played on it.

"Point is that it specifically utilizes an MS service Win 10 and thus promotes the use of that service thus is beneficial to MS. Just as it is NOT beneficial in the least to Linux or MAC it IS beneficial to MS. " KILLBILL

PS NOW launching on Windows does benefit MS but Sony benefits more from that.. but exclusives releasing on steam or win 10 like how MS does will only hit Sony hard ..

Ya but Resogun it's such a twitch game, any lag at all will ruin the experience on that one.

DashArrivals2589d ago

BUT the good thing is, that if you subscribe, then you can try it out and see for yourself.
I'm not sure what the pay model is. Is it subscription of like rent-a-game?

bu3ouf912589d ago

Infamous Second Son ? Uncharted 4 ? Drive Club ? Horizon Zero Down. Whoa ?

Glak182589d ago

Yeah I noticed 100% of Playstation articles that have a list of "exclusive" games always have multiplatform games.

"Yeah I noticed 100% of Playstation articles that have a list of "exclusive" games always have multiplatform games."

Ya same with Xbox too.. Third party Games which are marketed or funded by Sony or Xbox are included in that list of exclusive games..

Corpser2589d ago

It's just round one and yes all other PS4 exclusives are coming

Stogz2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

Yeah they are but not for a long time. They are not putting anything even remotely new on this service, just older games.

Obscure_Observer2589d ago

@Corpser

Agree. This is just the first round. Next: The Order 1888, Infamous SS, and Driveclub. ;)

aquamala2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

lol "controversial", says who. yes all ps4 exclusives are coming, some are already here

joab7772589d ago

People are gonna bitch about this but imagine what will be coming a year from now, 2 years?

And now we know why we didn't tget hese games in PS+ lol!

XanderZane2589d ago

Crappy games on a crappy service. If that's all Sony is going to provide to PSNow they might as well pull the plug on it now. Where's Bloodborne, Infamous SS & Until Dawn. Those games are old, but at least worth playing. Knack hasn't even been on PSPlus yet. lol!!

Sparta072588d ago

You won't get those games on psnow not for a long time.
I said it before and I'll say again Sony is not stupid enough to put new PS4 games on psnow. That would be suicide.
Plus this is just streaming.

corroios2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

Only fanboys would think that UC4 or HZD would be on PS NOW. Of course that are exclusives from the first year, from 2013...

They were all jumping with the PS4 doesnt have exclusives wagon. Sorry, but try harder next time.

New exclusives Games arent on PS NOW. Exclusives make the diference.

UCForce2589d ago

Besides, PS Now is stream service, not a digital store.

corroios2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

at amazing 720p/30 frames!!!! But Sony is doomed. Doesnt have game and so on....

Its funny that this isnt yet approved and on top of the site... But i bet if TLOU or UC colection was there!!! OMG, the end...

Vizigoth042589d ago

@UCForce
Exactly. This is the whole purpose. For newbies to PlayStation to try out some games either via PC or PS4. With Microsoft Game Pass yeah you will be able to download the game to your console. That would be a pretty nice (option) for PS Now games. But if it's a game you really want to play and finish there is this thing called the PS Store. And more often then not you will find the title. Heck sometimes you can find it at an amazing discount during a flash sale.

IAmLoki2589d ago

The end result is still the same. You don't need a PS4 to play those games now.

Rangerman12082589d ago

@IAmLoki
But atleast on the PS4, you can still find the game sometimes cheap, while on PS Now, you need pay even more money if you want to keep the game. Not to mention the input lags and such. Also, can't use mods on PS Now games, so that's sort of a let down for PC gamers (especially for Dark Souls fans who wanted to mod to f*** out of Bloodborne). Another thing is that you can't refund. So if ended up renting a game and you didn't like it, then it is already late. Not like in Steam, where you can refund right away.

Sorry, but I think buying games on the PS4 (either physical or via PS Store) is way more simple and less overpriced than PS Now.

Obscure_Observer2589d ago

@corroios

Do you really belive that Uncharted Collection and TLOU Remaster are not comming to PSNow?

That´s just the first round. By the time MS releases XGP, make no mistake, Sony will update their PSNow catalog with more exclusives to be competitive.

Did you read what was on those news. It went above 500 comments.

Almost zero about the games being on PC, but that PS4 was like the Xbox and didnt had exclusives games.

It was crazy.

freshslicepizza2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

And again you keep amplifying how important exclusives are and how these games are irrelevant and blah blah blah. Who cares, just enjoy your games. Why make such a fuss. Not sure why you guys are just so overprotective of your toys.

Kratos0Ace2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

I think the strategy is clear. To put those PS4 exclusives that are no longer selling because they've exhausted their sales potential. It brings these to a new audience as well as enhances the value of PS Now for PS4 users. So They'll start with 2013 and then move slowly from there. It'll take years for many PS4 exclusives to show up there.

joeorc2588d ago

@Kratos0Ace

"So They'll start with 2013 and then move slowly from there. It'll take years for many PS4 exclusives to show up there."

Exactly, when Sony released PlayStation Now on devices a while ago , that's always been the plan...it will take years before you really see the utmost newest PS4 games geat a streaming PlayStation Now release...

And the idea that many think day and date release or sooner rather than later for those releases is not what Sony is using this service for...

The PC platform is not a Priority platform for Sony , it's PlayStation... Hell Sony sold off its entire Sony Online Entertainment Arm..IE: PC software development arm of Sony !

This is not to where you download those PS4 games to a PC..its to Rent to play service... And it's a catalogue that rotates out games...

The fact is. It's a means and a way to monotize those gamers that just only want to play PlayStation games for its Exclusives anyway...when they only care about the PC Windows OS gaming ... It's so as to offer those gamers a means to Rent games or those without a PlayStation...

Still only Rent a game and still no local playback.

IAmLoki2589d ago

They are testing waters with those games. Eventually UC4 and HZD will be on PSNow.

GTgamer2589d ago

I bet money PS5 will be Announced before those games hit psnow.

Anyone that has common sense should have known that new games wouldn't be added for awhile.

JasonKCK2589d ago

And in the next update? Some of you act as if this is the only update there is. So this update takes care of 2013. The service could be in 2016 by E3

Redemption-642589d ago

You will not even find new PS3 games on PSNow, yet Xbots are so desperate to claim PS4 has no exclusive games that they think PSNOW is going to have new PS4 games within months months after release. Look Sony is not as stupid as you guys, do you actually believe they will put newer games on a service that people can use the trial period to beat then cancel. Really are you guys truly that stupid. Sony will be losing money if they did that, but you Xbots actually think and want them to that.

JasonKCK2589d ago

You PS fanboys all said PS exclusives would never be on PC yet here we are.

ziggurcat2588d ago

Available through a streaming service != PC version. You can't buy, and play the games natively, so PS4 exclusives are not "on PC."

ziggurcat2588d ago (Edited 2588d ago )

joeorc2588d ago (Edited 2588d ago )

@jasonKCK

How long have you used PlayStation Now?

Because if you have not used it for long or never have used it..you would not know their releases, for new and update games are ways off...

This is coming from a PlayStation Now user.

@JasonKCK11h ago
"You PS fanboys all said PS exclusives would never be on PC yet here we are."

Again for the millions of times , the games are not on PC , they are on an Application that connects to custom.PS4 networked servers...you are not playing those games on your PC's...there is no local Digital download..because your PC does not have the PS4 hardware..

The PSNow servers are not just a rack of PC's that you can buy from companies like iBM or Intel, etc..the PSNow service Is streaming from dedicated custom PS4 racked PS4 custom built servers...

You are playing off of those...you PC must have the PSNow application to even be able to have your PC communicate with those servers, than you need a Subscription and you...are still not playing those games directly on the PC..hell all you are really doing is your monitor is the display for the server ...and the controller allows you to play the games remotely off that Custom PS4 streaming servers...your PC really does not do much at all...

JasonKCK2588d ago

joeorc Can I play PS exclusives on a PC? Just answer the simple question.

DigitalRaptor2586d ago (Edited 2586d ago )

Keep dreaming.

"Can I play PS exclusives on a PC" -

Some of the worse ones, technically yes. I hope you enjoy playing (or bragging about playing) some of the worse PS4 games in heavily compressed 720p, 30fps with irritating input lag, meanwhile talking up 4K Xbox games on Scorpio. That's gotta be a record in flip flopping action.

Godmars2902589d ago

They will or maybe, but not before 2018 at the very least. Certainly not this year.

XanderZane2588d ago

It'll be the same way with XGP as well. Exclusives will be older then a year that get put on that service. That's why you see games like Sunset Overdrive on it. Don't mind older exclusives being on PSNow, but at least put the quality exclusives on there. Bloodborne is over 2 years old now right? No one thought UC4 or HZD would be on there. You'd have to be complete idiot to think that. They aren't even a year old. Fanboys were thinking more like Bloodborne, LBP3, Infamous SS, MLB 15 The Show, TLoU: Remastered, Until Dawn, etc.. Sony needs to scrap PSNow and start anew. Glad I own a PS4 and will never need to use PSNow for any of my gaming enjoyment.

So it's a bunch of former PS+ free titles with Killzone + Knack + Helldivers thrown in

Gazondaily2589d ago

Lol no one is going to sign up to PS NOW with those crap games. Killzone and Knack? 😂

Second round better offer better games!

ABizzel12589d ago

@Septic

I think the point is to offer games that are pretty old, so it doesn't take away value from the current hardware, but still offers PS4 games to entice people who don't have a PS4 as well as to provide games to gamers sooner that Sony can profit off of without having those gamers look at pirating and emulation.

It's 2017, and they're getting 2013 games. Come Holiday 2017 they might get 2014 games inFamous Second Son, DriveClub, LBP3, etc... Come 2018 they get 2015 exclusives and so on. A decent balance would be a 3 year separation between PS exclusives and PS Now. After 3 years the majority of games have generally reached their limit of sales, have been bundled in with the console, and don't occupy shelf space in most stores outside of used markets.

hercules_2589d ago

No need to buy PS4 anymore. We can play Killzone and Knack on PC.

Rangerman12082589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

Do you even know how bad the PS now service is? Or did you just wanted to jump on the "PS4 HAS NO GAYMES LOL!!!1!!1!" wagon?

Also you can't use mods on PS now games and you need keep paying money if you want to keep playing the game.

Majin-vegeta2589d ago

You know this comment is gonna end up being said.

"So they can afford to put Killzone&knack on this but can't give them on PS+ w tf sony??!!

ILostMyMind2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

And I agree with that. Sony needs to give the message of who is the priority for it, who buys PS or who subscribes to Now? But maybe this is an indication of which games will come next month.

2589d ago
ninsigma2589d ago

As expected really. There was no way they would release their newer heavy hitters because if any pc or laptop can stream them, that would really devalue the console and having just released a slim version as well as the pro version, that wouldn't make sense to do.

ninsigma2589d ago

People can dream I guess. PS4 has so many good games i'm sure there's loads of non ps gamers that are dying for those games to go multiplat!

ShadowKnight2589d ago (Edited 2589d ago )

I totally agree.
