PlayStation Now lets you play PS4 titles on PC

Kevin Bruce Francisco

If there is one thing PC gamers are somewhat jealous of console players, it’s having PlayStation-exclusive titles like Last of Us and Uncharted. Thankfully, Sony is bringing these games to PC for everyone to enjoy with the new PlayStation Now.

This will bring a wide selection of PlayStation exclusive titles to Windows PC for the very first time, including entries in the Uncharted, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank franchises, as well as beloved PS3 games like The Last of Us and Journey. Current subscribers have a new way to access PS Now’s library of over 400 games, and the PC app provides a new way for even more gamers to discover and play the service.

If you plan on getting your hands on this, your PC must meet the following system requirements:

  •  Windows 7 (SP1), 8.1 or 10
  • 3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10 or faster
  • 300 MB or more; 2 GB or more of RAM
  • Sound card; USB port
  • Minimum 5Mbps internet connection

As far as controllers are concerned, Sony also announced its new $25 DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adapter that lets you use your DualShock 4 controllers to PCs and Macs.

According to the PlayStation blog, the app “launches overseas in parts of Europe soon and will come to North America shortly thereafter.” We’re still waiting on the announcement of availability in other countries — Philippines most especially.

Niantic Labs officially gives us first look at Pokemon GO

Touted as the next-gen “Real World Gaming” platform, Niantic Labs posts a first look into the upcoming Pokémon GO that has its fans waiting in excitement.

For those still unfamiliar, Pokémon GO uses the latest technology and combines mobile location and augmented reality to simulate a different kind of gaming experience. It will not be the usual kind of Pokémon game that you could just sit and play in your house. No, this free-to-play app will require you to go out and explore places — just like how Ash Ketchum did it.

Niantic mentions that certain wild Pokémons will only appear in their native environments. For example, to catch water-type Pokémons, you would have to go near a lake or an ocean.

Poké Balls will be available at PokéStops which are real-life places such as “public art installations, historical markers, museums, and monuments.”

The game also promotes having real-life battles between other players from different teams. There will be a total of three teams where players could join in and compete over who the Gym Leader will be (inside real world locations, of course).

The blog explains that this is done by “placing their captured Pokémon in a friendly Gym or by battling with an opponent’s Pokémon in another team’s Gym.”

Basically, it sounds like they’re serious in bringing into reality the essence of the old-school game that most players today have grown up with and loved.

There will be an early field test of the game but of course, it will only be in Japan.

Just for fun, which Pokémons do you think will commonly appear in the Philippines once this game is up and running?

Stay tuned for more developments as Niantic Labs reveals more details.

Duterte fights crime in this side-scrolling Pinoy game

Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte has been known to be the bad boy among the candidates that promises to minimize (if not abolish) crime when he gets elected as the Philippines’ next president. Although even before he gets the presidential seat, it looks like he’s already started fighting crime in the form of mobile gaming.

Duterte Fighting Crime is a side-scrolling shooter game developed by Tatay Games. You’ll be controlling a gun-wielding Duterte that shoots bad guys and the more you progress in the game, the better guns you get.

So far the reviews are almost all positive with users rating the game. It is available for free in Google Play Store and is not so big a file at 24.35MB.

Stream PS4 games on your PC with this software

Called the Remote Play PC developed by Twisted, this software lets you play PS4 games on your computer.

What the software does is to make the computer believe that a Sony device is attempting to connect using the PS4’s embedded Remote Play feature. This way, the PC accepts the stream and mirrors the game from the console. According to the developer, it will launch on November 25 with a starting fee of $10 (Twisted provided a good explanation why he had to charge for this software).

Be wary, though, that this is unofficial and Sony might make the necessary actions to put a stop to this once it comes to their attention. Still, if you want to give it a try, download at your own risk.

On a related note, Microsoft officially released this same feature on their Xbox One early this year.
