The nostalgia of playing old school PlayStation games is awesome for a lot of us, but without having every generation of console, it can be difficult to get in on some of the best titles of yesterday. PlayStation Now, Sony’s online game streaming service, is the solution to that quandary. But man, is it really worth coughing up an Andrew Jackson every month just to play classic titles?
对我们大多数人来说，玩老式的PlayStation游戏的怀旧之情真是太棒了，但是如果没有每一代的主机，都很难获得昨天的一些最佳游戏。 索尼的在线游戏流媒体服务PlayStation Now是解决这一难题的解决方案。 但是，伙计，是否真的值得每个月打一个安德鲁·杰克逊来玩经典游戏？
什么是PlayStation现在？ (What Is PlayStation Now?)
You may have already gathered this, but PS Now allows users to stream older PlayStation titles over the internet—think of it like Netflix for PlayStation games. It costs $20 a month for unlimited streaming, offering access to over 450 PlayStation titles. Sounds solid on paper, and for the most part, it is. Especially if you love the older games.
您可能已经收集了这些信息，但是PS Now允许用户通过Internet流式传输旧版PlayStation标题-可以像Netflix上的PlayStation游戏一样。 它每月收费20美元，可无限流播，可访问450多种PlayStation游戏。 在纸面上听起来很扎实，在大多数情况下是这样。 特别是如果您喜欢旧游戏。
Of course it offers streaming on the PlayStation 4 and Pro, but it also allows users to stream games to their Windows PCs. It works a lot like using PlayStation Remote Play on a Windows device—you need a USB cable (or the optional wireless dongle) for your DualShock controller, a PlayStation account, PlayStation Now subscription, and the Windows application. From there, it feels exactly like the PlayStation application.
当然，它在PlayStation 4和Pro上提供流媒体，但也允许用户将游戏流媒体到其Windows PC。 它的工作原理与在Windows设备上使用PlayStation Remote Play十分相似，您需要为DualShock控制器，PlayStation帐户，PlayStation Now订阅和Windows应用程序使用USB电缆(或可选的无线加密狗)。 从那里开始，感觉就像是PlayStation应用程序。
And really, that’s the biggest selling point of PlayStation Now in my opinion: you can stream games pretty much anywhere if you have a laptop. It also allows gamers who may not have a current-gen PlayStation to play some of the console’s best and most famous titles.
实际上，那是PlayStation现在最大的卖点：我认为：如果您有笔记本电脑，则几乎可以在任何地方播放游戏。 它还允许那些可能没有当前版本的PlayStation的游戏玩家玩游戏机中一些最好，最著名的游戏。
目录有多大？ (How Big Is the Catalog?)
That’s one of the first questions a lot of people have, and naturally so—if you’re shelling out $20 a month, you want to know that you have some choices.
这是很多人提出的第一个问题，自然而然地—如果您每月要花20美元，您想知道自己有一些选择。
According to Sony, PlayStation Now has over 450 titles from the original PlayStation to the PlayStation 3, including over 100 PlayStation exclusive titles. That’s a pretty decent-sized number, at least until you think about all the games that have been available for all the PlayStation consoles over the years. The original PlayStation was released 22 years ago!
根据索尼的说法，从原始PlayStation到PlayStation 3，PlayStation Now已有450多种游戏，其中包括100多种PlayStation独家游戏。 这是一个相当不错的数字，至少直到您考虑了多年来所有PlayStation主机都可以使用的所有游戏为止。 原始的PlayStation发行于22年前！
You’ll find some of the best PlayStation titles out there: The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, Uncharted, God of War, and a lot more. If you want to know if your favorite games are available on PlayStation Now, you can find a full list everything the service has to offer here.
您会在其中找到一些最佳的PlayStation标题： 《我们的最后》 ， 《荒野大镖客》 ，《 神秘海域》 ，《 战神》等等。 如果您想了解自己喜欢的游戏是否在PlayStation Now上可用，您可以在此处找到该服务必须提供的所有内容的完整列表。
If you don’t see your favorites, don’t stress—Sony adds new games every month. So maybe there’s a chance it’ll show up eventually. I’m still holding out hope for the Jak and Daxter trilogy, personally.
如果您没有看到自己的收藏夹，请不要紧张-索尼每个月都会添加新游戏。 因此，也许它最终会出现。 我个人仍然对Jak和Daxter三部曲充满希望。
但是游戏玩法如何？ (But How Is the Gameplay?)
That’s really the big question, isn’t it? Let’s say your favorite games are already on PlayStation Now and you’re ready to play. How is the experience?
这确实是一个大问题，不是吗？ 假设您最喜欢的游戏已经在PlayStation Now上，并且可以开始游戏了。 经验如何？
In short: it depends. If you have solid home internet access—Sony recommends 5Mbps at least—that’s consistent and doesn’t bog down when everyone in the house is using it, then in theory you should have a fairly good experience with PlayStation Now.
简而言之：这取决于。 如果您拥有稳定的家庭互联网访问权限(Sony建议至少为5Mbps)，那么这是一致的，并且当家里的每个人都在使用它时不会停顿，那么从理论上讲，您应该对PlayStation Now拥有相当不错的体验。
That said, I’m not sure I agree with “5Mbps.”
也就是说，我不确定我是否同意“ 5Mbps”。
Let’s use my home internet for example. I have AT&T U-Verse (yeah, I know) and the fastest speed they offer here is 50Mbps. Normally, that would be fine, but it’s summer and the kids are out of school, which means they’re watching entirely too much YouTube. So guess what I have to do every time I want to stream something on PlayStation Now? Tell them all to stop watching YouTube. Otherwise, they hog all the bandwidth and the experience is absolutely terrible. One night I had to replay the same part of Red Dead Redemption five times because the connection kept crapping out on me. It was infuriating, and there was no clear reason as to why it was happening—I was the only person streaming and had the PS4 set as the Priority Device on Google WiFi, which should’ve given it the most bandwidth.
让我们以我的家庭互联网为例。 我有AT＆T U-Verse(是的，我知道)，他们在这里提供的最快速度是50Mbps。 通常，这很好，但是现在是夏天，孩子们失学了，这意味着他们正在看太多的YouTube。 因此，猜猜我每次想在PlayStation Now上播放流媒体时必须做什么？ 告诉所有人停止观看YouTube。 否则，他们会占用所有带宽，体验绝对糟糕。 一天晚上，我不得不重播《荒野大镖客：救赎》的同一部分五次，因为这种联系一直困扰着我。 它令人发指，而且没有明确的原因。我是唯一的流媒体用户，并且将PS4设置为Google WiFi上的“ 优先设备” ，这应该为它提供最大的带宽。
Alas, it was awful, and I ultimate ended up turning it off lest I break the DualShock 4. Those things aren’t cheap.
las，这真是太糟糕了，我最终还是关闭了它，以免我破坏了DualShock4。那些东西并不便宜。
But that in itself is really the biggest issue with streaming games. It’s not like streaming TV or movies, which seems to just work most of the time. It’s interactive and on the fly, so there’s a lot more going on in the background before it even makes it to your device. Even the small bit of latency in your button presses can be slightly annoying at times—if everything isn’t perfect, something will take the hit.
但这本身确实是流游戏的最大问题。 这与流媒体电视或电影不同，后者似乎在大多数时间都可以正常工作 。 它是交互式的，并且是即时进行的，因此在将它集成到您的设备之前，背景中还有很多事情要做。 有时，即使按钮按下时只有一小段延迟，有时也会有些烦人-如果一切都不尽如人意， 那么事情就会受到打击。
While we’re talking about gameplay, let’s discuss graphics. Let’s make it very clear: these are the titles in their original form. So if you’re playing The Last of Us, you’re playing the original, PS3 version of the game, not the newer Remastered version. The same goes for basically everything—playing will be almost identical to how it was on the original console.
在谈论游戏玩法时，让我们讨论一下图形。 让我们非常清楚：这些是其原始形式的标题。 因此，如果您在玩《我们的最后》 ，则是在玩游戏的原始PS3版本，而不是较新的Remastered版本。 基本上所有内容都一样—播放几乎与原始控制台上的播放相同。
All that said, I did a direct comparison of Red Dead Redemption streaming on PlayStation Now with the Xbox 360 version on Xbox One, and there was definitely a notable difference. First and foremost, it was so much smoother on the Xbox One, which can be expected since it was playing locally instead of over an internet connection. Secondly, it definitely looked a little bit nicer graphically, but I’m not going to hold that against PlayStation Now, since there’s some upscaling going on with the Xbox that accounts for a better looking game.
话虽如此，我对PlayStation Now上的Red Dead Redemption流与Xbox One上的Xbox 360版本进行了直接比较，肯定有显着差异。 首先，Xbox One上的运行更加流畅，这是可以预期的，因为它是在本地播放而不是通过Internet连接。 其次，它在图形上肯定看起来更好一些，但是我不想在PlayStation Now上使用它，因为Xbox进行了一些升级，从而创造了更好的游戏。
那么，值得吗？ (So, Is It Worth It?)
I think it depends. In my experience with PlayStation Now, I did spend a lot more time playing games than I did waiting for things to load to experiencing glitches, so in that respect I enjoyed it. But when things go wrong, it can be really frustrating. And given PlayStation Now’s nature, there are more things that can go wrong than simply popping in a disc or playing a digital download—because it’s streaming, there’s a lot more going on between you and your game.
我认为这取决于。 根据我在PlayStation Now方面的经验，与花很多时间等待出现故障的游戏相比，我花了更多的时间在游戏上，因此在这方面我很喜欢。 但是，如果出现问题，那可能真令人沮丧。 考虑到PlayStation Now的本质，除了直接弹出光盘或播放数字下载内容外，还有更多可能出错的事情-因为它是流媒体，所以您与游戏之间还有很多事情要做。
But if you want to know if I’ll keep my subscription after this month, the answer is no. While I did spend more time playing than having difficulties, I ultimately had far more issues than I think are acceptable. I don’t have a lot of time for games these days, so when I do have time to play, I want to play. I don’t want to troubleshoot my internet connection or have to play the same thing four or five times because my connection failed.
但是，如果您想知道我是否会在本月之后继续订阅，答案是否定的。 尽管我确实花了很多时间玩游戏而不是遇到困难，但最终我遇到的问题远远超过了我认为可以接受的范围。 这些天我没有太多时间玩游戏，所以当我有时间玩时，我想玩。 我不想对我的互联网连接进行故障排除，也不想因为连接失败而玩四到五次相同的事情。
All that said, your mileage may vary. You could give it a go and have nothing but great things to say about it, and if that’s the case, that’s awesome. Ultimately, I’m not willing to deal with all the hiccups just to play older games. If I’m really that desperate, I’ll break the PS2 out of the closet to go old school.
综上所述，您的里程可能会有所不同。 您可以尝试一下，无话可说，如果是这样，那就太好了。 归根结底，我不愿意只玩旧游戏就应对所有的麻烦。 如果我真的那么绝望，我会把PS2从壁橱里摔出来，去上学。
