very very nice

 

the things that will surface becasue of this technology will be unbelievable

Awesome, who'd a thunk.

this is awesome

 

What actually process's the video. The computer graphics card still? If thats how it works, then theres no point. Cause i bought my ps3 to avoid upgrading my pc.

HMMM, if you set your video settings at max on your PC,and your PC can't handle the settings will the PS3 still play it at MAX steeings?

So much for xbox 360 exclusives !

its seems that yes your computer needs to be able to play the game at high resolutions, so  graphics card is a plus

Take it to the Bank!

 

This is great. I might just play a PC game or two now

Here is a link to the web site    http://streammygame.com

 

To get good specs from the PC, it has to be maxed out.  But, if you happen to have an incredible PC rig, then this will be awesome for you, and your friends!  It would be awesome if you could host a LAN party, and your frinds could just come over and play whatever.  I'd love to play Gears of War on my PS3, I've been wanting to check that out.

so we can play now Gears of War on our PS3?. or not.

so can i play footy manager from my pc to my playstation?

Actually I might just take my PS3 up to the local Coffee shop, they have a gaming setup.  I'll get the guy to installt he program and I will stream the game, I guess.

Wow holy fudge, this is the coolest sh** ever

LOL the ps3 library just got bigger.. by a million times XD

 

Heck.. we could play halo if we wanted to.. although personally i think its a boring game.. but i might rig it up to play some empire at war :p

its a cool feature if you got a great computer built for gaming. but lets face it most people dont. my computer would probably explode if i tried playing a pc game at max settings. lol

hahaah gears of war pc on the ps3 gears of war now anounced for ps3 trhow internet yay.

WOW beat that xbox PS3 rules

Most new PC games require more horsepower than PS3 has, and future games will require even more while PS3 stays the same. It is unclear from the blurb (when did PSU start copy-paste press releases?) how exactly this works, but I'm sure the end result is inferior to the original product in either frame rate or graphics quality.

In any case, I don't see the point of this. If I have a PC which can play a game, why would I want to play it on my PS3? I specifically bought a PS3 so I wouldn't have to upgrade every two years to play the latest games.

Sounds like snake oil to me.

that's so cool, to bad my pc sucks, and I can't get my pc to recognise any unknown devices (my ps3). so unless you can do the game in your ps3 it won't help me.

It works by streaming video to the PS3, the only thing the PS3 has to render is the video.  The PC does most of the work.

You need linux installed also.

I agree with jeremy

that's insane. the ps3 library just expanded exponentially.

Über cool! :D

would you have to have linux installed on your ps3 to make this work?

psn id: gingo.... this is actually really impressive i'll see if i can get Doom 3 working because i've always wanted to try that with a controller but wasn't buying an xbox just to do that

 

or am i completely off and you still have to use keyboard and mouse??

Wats a super HDTV?? I know wat full 1080p hd's are but wat de funk are super hdtvs.

Euhm, I hate to be the cynical one but streaming introduces lag (especially over a wireless link).  Which means that the player's input could be received too late.  ie. (LCD-)TV lag with games like Guitar Hero, but worse.

Just try and play a fast-paced PSOne game over Remote Play and you'll notice the problem with streaming lag.

will this cost much do you think.

All the processing seems to be done on the PC you are streaming from. The PS3 just receives the video and audio. How does the controllers work?

Awsome now there are no exclusives!

Simply amazing!!

The ps3 keeps getting better and better

RIP Sony PS3, the ps3 during the holiday season 2007 was the lowest selling console (simexchange).

the stupid thing is you cant actually physically play the game with you ps3 like with the controller it just means you can steam the image to your ps3 and view it on a big t.v so to speak in hd

I guess this means that the performance will be dependant of the power of your PC. Good idea. If this also includes the usb mouse and keyboard support then we have a winner.

 

@daz

Don't bother, if you feed it, it will never go away. let them feel content in thinking that the rest of the world doesn't exist.

it's great newssssssssss.......... i can't believe it it's...... incredible

if this is true then this could eliminate exclusives for MS I wonder would they allow this but I too dont see the point of buying a game on the PC just to play it on your PS3, why not just play it on your PC? n e ways good try in all but unless theres a way you can fully download the game to your PS3 HDD im not interested.

the ps3 is king nobody can deny that now the amount of games on the system just opened up dramatically now all sony got to do is let the people around the world know about this and it will be the end of the war as we know it

yup ps3 win's in the longrun ... yup yup this pretty much conferms it

This has Sony support? People are starting to make too much software that runs on the PS3 for my taste. I can see Virus coming...

Mannnnnnnnnn, i brought my PS3 on time :)

but through streaming does this mean games will have more chance to lagg becuz some videos take ages to stream.

very cool

So I don't get it. Why can't I simply connect my laptop to the HDTV? Because is the same thing

It is just another fraps

It alows you to stream video to any computer in the network say for  watching people play like at LAN competition.

You can play your fave PC game in bed without having to move your pc etc.

It is very buggy atm i cant get it to work properly for reasons someone mentioned, LAG .  Even if i set it to the lowest compression and lowest resolution  i still cannot login on my ps through the frefox web browser, it just ends up timing out, soon as i disconnect the server its ok.

Want to know how it works?

Click the link in the article :)

 

So can the PS3 play Crysis then? Shoot I would try lol.

I have seen a video on Youtube with a guy explaining how to set this up and then he played Crysis on his PS3!

 

Firstly you need to install LINUX on your PS3 and he was also using a wireless keyboard and mouse to play the game.  So, in the future we could possibly play games exclusive to Microsoft before X360 even gets them!!!  And now we could play Bioshock and Mass Effect on our PS3!  Wonder if they'll implement online gaming as well in the near future?? So much more possibilities now.

wicked news. all you xbots on this site, go cry to ur buddy bill. and also tell him that he should pull out of the console war, and just join sony and their affiliates and produce PS3 and PSP games. he'd prolly make way more money that way.

Daz m8 i'm sorry to say it hasn't sold more than xbox36, go to n4gamers.com and simexchange.com the ps3 is the lowest selling console of the holiday season 2007, so don't call people names and go check for yourself, in october it sold well only in parts of europe but it didn't sell very well in europes biggest market country the uk which seen the ds and wii on top followed by the the xbox360 psp followed by the ps3, and in north america it's done terrible, you GUYS SHOULD LOOK AROUND AT OTHER SITES NOT GET BRAIN WASHED ON PSU, The ps3 is doing poor and is getting so much like the psp, people are buying it has a media player including me i watch blu-ray movies and download divx movies, and play games mostly my xbox360 and wii, i will play games on my ps3 but right now theres nothing really good out there, it's a good console but a good console is no good without good games.

And there it is...that no games comment again...well if thats the only argument still out there then the last laugh is the ps3 owners.

I read the article but i still dont believe it, can this be possible. I cant wait to see the look in my xbot friends face when im playing Halo on my PS3

I'm curious as to what does the actual processing?  I know the PC converts it but does the PS3 render everything?  If so, he!!o Crysis.

C'mon guys, can we get rid of the he!! ban?  We can't even type he!!o.

well im still not going to invest 1000 euros in my pc, i prefer saving this to invest in my ps3, plus the only pc game that i would like to play is crysis but like the game sold bad maybe crysis will be ported to ps3, well i hope so, if not we still have kill zone 2 to look forward to

PC gaming has moved past "HD" ages ago so Im not sure what the point of this product is. I've been playing PC games on my HP L3065 display at a native resolution of 2560 x 1600 for the past two years.... That's twice as many pixels as offered by 1080p. To run it you just need a 8800GT which doesnt cost too much. I'm using an 8800 Ultra with room for another but so far Ive not needed the other card in SLI

 

The new SLI Mobos coming through can hold 3 x 8800Gxx cards or the new 9800GTX.  Better still 2 x HD3870X2's for four GPU's and 4GB of DDR4 video memory. My question is why would I want to use my PS3 to do the rendering?  It has a GPU marginaly better than a 7600 and has just 512Mb memory shared with the system. I dont understand the benefit.

"With consoles becoming more and more powerful, it seems logical that console owners should be able to share in the PC gaming experience by being able to play PC games on their systems." um, wtf? you cant play games through any system, you can stream the video and sound and thats as far as it goes, you still need to spend a shiz load on a nice PC to play any new  games.

and why dont you just hook up your PC to the TV with a few cables, i'd imagen that it would be much easier then setting up a network, just to stream sound and video.

Only use i see for this is, if you happen to have a really good computer, a big house, and you just happen to want to play your games in your living room.

Maybe they are really just using the PS3 to provide the HDMI port to the TV screen - IE: the PS3 doesnt do the game processing or graphics rendering but rather passes through the signal via its HDMI port and maybe helps out with some simple scaling. I cant see any more use for the PS3 than that.
