PSNow continually ratcheting up the games. They've got a great catalog included at this point.

"Resident Evil 7 biohazard is available until November 30, 2020." Less than 3 months for a game that came out almost 4 years ago.
"Final Fantasy XV is available until March 1, 2021."

I'm a PS guy but I don't think Sony is adding games fast enough to balance out how quickly they're leaving the service. And unlike most streaming services, their internally made stuff isn't all on PS Now either.

Don't get me wrong, PS Now is so much better now than it was last year but look at what Games Pass is getting (this is an incomplete list as well):
Hypnospace Outlaw (added August 27th, 2020)
Tell Me Why - Chapter 1 (added August 27th, 2020)
Double Kick Heroes (added August 28th, 2020)
Wasteland 3 (added August 28th, 2020)
Drake Hollow (added August 28th, 2020)
Resident Evil 7 Biohazard (added September 3rd, 2020)
Tell Me Why - Chapter 2 (added September 3rd, 2020)
The Jackbox Party Pack 4 (added September 3rd, 2020)
Touhou Luna Nights (added September 3rd, 2020)
Hotshot Racing (added September 10th, 2020)
Tell Me Why - Chapter 3 (added September 10th, 2020)
Destiny 2 expansions Forsaken, Shadowkeep (September 2020)

That's an exciting list that even includes completely new games. Sony can't compete if they don't go all in but it doesn't make financial sense for them to do that. Btw, PS Plus is way better than Games With Gold.

Maybe another perspective is that PSNow already has more than double the games GamePass has so GamePass has some catching up to do?
Yea all their 1st Party games aren't on GamePass because.... well, they're awesome games that bring a lot of revenue in sales. If/when Xbox ever gets to that point we'll see if their policies change...

"Sony isn't trying to sell its consoles on its services"

I'm going to avoid that statement, being that's simply your own, personal, observation.

We're simply looking at two separate companies that offer a subscription service that allow you to download games for the cost and, sorry, as someone who owns both, gamepass>PS Now.

jukins1347d ago

Probably Capcom pushing it out rather than Sony/MS pulling it onboard.

Puty1348d ago

Sport sim WWE? Wrestling isnt sport.

preciousdeath1348d ago

I paid $40 for a year of PSNow. They have sales like that all the time. Even at the regular price of $60, it's an incredible value. Sony exclusives are actually worth retail price, so I don't mind them not being on PSNow until later. I also don't mind that games leave the service over time because I try to play them when early and then move on. I'm hooked on Dead Cells right now from August, so we'll see if I get to September games anytime soon.

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled24d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?

Final Fantasy XV Review – A Royal Road Trip

Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.

Final Fantasy 15 director reveals why he left Square Enix, and announces he's working on 2 new JRPGs

Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.

Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.

FF15 is like FF13 its subjective people either like it or hate it.

raWfodog156d ago

I liked it. I haven’t played the royale edition yet but I’ll get around to it one day.

gold_drake156d ago

no no, 15 wasnt trash.

15 had a tremendous difficult development.

FinalFantasyFanatic155d ago

I really believe 13 was better put together and more complete than 15 ever was.

EternalTitan156d ago

Found the pathetic troll.
How is your jobless life going?
Dot worry, you will never get a job or a girlfriend haha!

Hofstaderman156d ago

Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.

TheColbertinator156d ago

I didn't care much for XV and I always wanted the original vision of Versus XIII but I think the dev team did what they could to salvage the project

Inverno156d ago

And yet people still blame him for the game turning out the way it did, rather than SE for the horrible mismanagement of 13 and Namura for being overly ambitious.

Dwarrior156d ago

Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.

gold_drake156d ago

this is also why Sakaguchi (spelling) left.
