(April Fools 2015)

Yes, I know video game console firmware updates can get annoying, but not when they have really cool new features!

Tomorrow (3/25/15) the Yukimura update 2.50 will be available on the PlayStation 4.

This will add Suspend and Resume, a feature gamers have been excited about.

Our Gaikai team has slipped in something as well…

Remote Play and Share Play — For games that support 60 fps, users will be able to automatically enjoy those games with 60 fps for both Remote Play and Share Play** on supported devices.

Enjoy!

I had our resident fighting game expert Jeffrey L. Wilson play King of Fighters 13 over PlayStation Now. He plays the game often over Steam, and offered the best sense of the game’s responsiveness when streaming: He said it looked and felt like it was a local, console version of the game. He even executed some of his favorite combos without issue. For fighting games, when frame counting and reaction times are key, this is impressive.
