Games that were removed from the previous update include Killzone 3 and Papo & Yo. Interestingly enough, these games have trophy support, indicating that this might be in the final version of PlayStation Now.

Screenshots of the games were also provided, showing what games were available. All that is known is that PlayStation Now is set to officially launch this summer.

My Opinion

 

This is exciting news, although some of these games confuse me. I understand some of these choices, like Dead Island and Guacamelee!, however, Rise of the Guardians? Critter Crunch? Some of these games don’t make much sense, but maybe this is what Sony is testing out. Also, the information about trophies is exciting news. Trophy hunters, unite! I am eager for this summer to get here. Although, if Sony wants to send me a beta code, I would not be disappointed.
