PlayStation Now Added Download Feature For PS4 and Remastered PS2 Games

Those who are members of the PlayStation Now have the option of downloading PS4 and remastered PS2 video games offered by the service, according to a Sony official announcement released yesterday. As the statement said, the new feature will roll out in just a few days.

Therefore, PlayStation Now subscribers can download virtually every PlayStation 4 game available on the service, but Sony did not offer any details regarding which video games won’t be available. Most probably, those newer titles fall into the unavailable category, but that’s not official information.

All those downloaded games would come with all the DLC packs the user purchased and with PS4 Pro improvements, while the online multiplayer mode would not require a PlayStation Plus membership. However, the only trick is to connect your PlayStation 4 to the Internet from now and then for Sony to verify your subscription plan.

Users with PlayStation Now subscription can download PS4 and remastered PS2 games

Sony announced yesterday that every PlayStation Now subscriber can download the PS4 and remastered PS2 games that are available on the platform. However, since the feature is going live in only a couple of days, Sony did not reveal which games would be available and which won’t.

PlayStation Now platform was released in January 2015 and, at this moment, it houses about 500 titles for PS2, PS3, and PS4. The new download feature will only cover remastered PS2 games, as well as the available PS4 video games, but not those releases for PlayStation 3. To be eligible to download those games you must subscribe to PS Now (unless you’re already a member).

Also, those who have already streamed a game via the platform and now would like to download their save files from the cloud directly to their consoles can do that, too, now, but only if they are PS Plus members.

One subscription on PlayStation Now would cost you $99.99 per year (a special offer until September 25th), while for PlayStation Plus, one membership plan costs $29.99 for the first three months.

Are Clash of Clans Players Getting More Annoyed or Angry?

Clash of Clans is both a free and premium mobile game which was published by the Finnish game developer Supercell. The iOS version of the game was the first to be released on 2nd of August 2012, and sometime later the Android version was released too on 7th of October 2013.

The game will introduce you in a persistent world with a fantasy theme and make you the chief of a village. Clash of Clans makes you build your town using the resources you gain from attacking other players, a feature enabled by the game’s fighting mini-games. Gold, dark elixir and elixir are the primary resources. If you are more like a team player, you can join a clan and conquer every Clan War together while changing opinion and developing long-term friendships.

The game does not sound so hard, but there are moments when you wind and moments when you lose. To be more specific, when you are a loser it is harder for you to accept the idea that your trophies got stoled and that you could not take care of them.

There is a topic going on at the moment on a Clash of Clans forum where players talk about what makes them angry or annoyed in the game. However, this game teaches you patience from its core to the ends while making you wait for updates or resources…

Some players have said that they only get angry when they lose and otherwise the Clash of Clans’ long updates are great for them because they can take a break from the game, reset their minds and come back stronger.

One Clash of Clans player said that they used to get angrier in the beginning when they were not that experienced and not part of a clan.

SumoSloth said “Not anymore, I am having way more fun now that I have multiple accounts and play with similar minded people. We take wars and clan games seriously. However, we are also very relaxed and casual at the same time, which I know might seem like a contradiction, but it works for us. “

Star Trek Vulcan Planet Found by Researchers

One of the things that made the Star Trek series great was the variety of characters and planets.

The Dharma Planet Survey has published a new American-lead study that brings fiction a bit closer to reality as astronomers may have stumbled upon the iconic planet Vulcan.

The new planet is classified as a super-Earth type, as its size is twice the size of Earth. It is the closest super-Earth planet found, being situated at approximately 16 light-years from the Blue Planet. It spends 43 days of its orbit in the habitable zone of its star so life may be found on its surface.

The star it orbits, HD26965, shares some characteristics with our Sun as researchers think it has the same age.  It is a bit smaller and cooler, but its 10.1-year magnetic cycle is similar to our own solar cycle. Star Trek fans may think of it as the Eridani A, according to some of the researchers. Vulcan was linked to Eridani A in officially printed material such as Star Trek 2 by James Blish. Gene Roddenberry, the creator of the franchise, has formally acknowledged that Vulcan orbits Eridani A in a letter sent to magazine in 1991. It is noted in the letter that the Eridani 40 star system is composed of one main star and two companions smaller stars. Vulcan orbits the major stars and the other ones are visible on the sky and shine beautifully.

In the original Star Trek series, Vulcan is identified as the origin planet of Science Officer Spock.

The planet was identified using the Dharma Endowment Foundation Telescope, located on the top of Mount Lemmon in Arizona. It is the first super-Earth planet identified by the Dharma Survey initiative.

The star can be freely observed with the naked eye, so curious Star Trek fans do not need specialized equipment in order to observe it. The Dharma Survey will continue its work, hoping to find new and interesting worlds.
