PlayStation Now rumoured to be coming to PC later this month

For those of you who have no idea what PlatStation Now is, it is an online game streaming service which allows gamers to Stream a large library of PlayStation games to your PS3, PS4, PlayStation Vita and other select Sony devices for a monthly fee of £12.99.

Rumour has it that PlayStation is set to be coming to PC later this month on August 23rd in Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK, with a future release in the US and Canada a week after. , a new feature which will require official drivers for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 controllers on PC.

If this rumour is true this will require official drivers for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 controllers on PC platform, doing away with the need for unofficial 3rd party drivers.

If Sony has the server capacity to handle a large number of additional gamers on PlayStation Now, Sony has a chance to earn a large amount of money by opening up PlayStation now to PC.

With games like The Last of Us and Uncharted 1-3 on PlayStation Now we think a lot of PC gamers would be interested in the service, even if it is just for a single month to play some of Sony's exclusive titles.

The King of Fighters ’94 Hits PS4 October 27, More Classics Inbound

Over the past three years, Hamster has released a wide variety of classic coin-op hits for PS4 in its Arcade Archives lineup, and we’re excited to reveal our new ACA Neo Geo series that brings SNK’s beloved games back into your living room.

Since its debut in 1990, the Neo Geo enthused video game fans from around the globe with games that were “bigger, badder, and better” than anything else in the arcade or at home… and you’ll finally have perfect conversions of some of these legendary titles.

The first game in the ACA Neo Geo series is The King of Fighters ’94, which launches October 27 on PS4!

The King of Fighters ’94 originally launched on Neo Geo way back in 1994, injecting new life into the fighting game genre by mixing popular characters from SNK’s Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and Ikari Warriors franchises into one massive invitational hand-to-hand tournament. The King of Fighters ’94’s unique three-on-three battles and intricate special move systems had a massive impact on subsequent fighting games, and it gave birth to an ongoing saga that continues to this day with 2016’s amazing PS4 offering, The King of Fighters XIV.

The following games will launch in 2016:*

Metal Slug
Samurai Shodown
Alpha Mission II
Fatal Fury
World Heroes

And the following games will arrive in early 2017:*

Neo Turf Masters
Nam-1975

Hamster will continue to work closely with SNK Playmore to not only choose games in the most famous franchises, but also to shed light on some cult classics and hidden gems. Stay tuned for more on the ACA Neo Geo line-up!

*Subject to change.

I kinda want Crash, but I need to know how much they have repaired the original. I read that they fixed the save system, which is good, but did they change the damn-near impossible gem collection requirement where you have to both find and break all the boxes without dying? Because that shit was dumb in the original when you spend most of the mid and end levels on tiny platforms over pits.
