This cloud stuff is still a bit risky but it does seems like sony is gonna pull a sega. I'm starting to think that there will be no PS4 console.
lol Then I wonder what EA CEO thought he saw when he said he saw both next gen consoles?
This is exciting!
He probably saw dev kits and not the final product. When I say no ps4 I mean not in the form we are used too. If there is gonna be a ps4 it looks like it may be coming way later than we expected.Quote:

I must admit I'm torn about it. On the one hand it means I can stick with just my PC, on the other.. Well, a dedicated console offers a real experience different than a simple streaming service.
I do expect a console but if they're gonna offer all their games on PC via Cloud then I also expect a massive drop in their hardware sales. All I'd need to do next gen is buy a DualShock 4, plug it into my laptop, hook my laptop up to my TV and done. That's what most people will do as well I'd bet.
I think in Sony's case it would kind of make sense. I mean, the tech or infrastructure isnt there for cloud or DD only, but Sony can reach a SHIT load more people with the cloud, removing the price barrier on a console they don't profit from and giving people a portal to all their games from devices they already own.

PS Versatile is presently putting Sony amusements on non PlayStation mechanisms, this actually appears to be a characteristic movement./
For more seasoned recreations, understandable. Be that as it may for most current amusements, current and cutting edge-i collect Sony need folks acquiring playstation 4's as a substitute for unequivocally streaming Uncharted 4 on their PC
The most intriguing post I have ever read on these forums. lolQuote:

I don't know what to think, not much of this makes much sense, one decision seems seem counter intuitive to another.Quote:

If I was betting man, I'd put money on a PS4 that's more a cutdown PC box, which would allow easier porting to the PC market as proper installs, and streaming to other tablets.
The PS4 wouldn't be backwards compatible, and that would be achieved via cloud.
So my thoughts
-A PC PS4
-Games available on both PC and PS4 via PSN
-PS4 games available physically on media.
-PS3 games available via streaming on all devices.
I would avidly consume playstation titles through PC\mobile. If they could ascend the playstation brand above a simple box, this could be pretty awesome.
Still, I don't want to see the 'death' of the home console.
Give me a Gaikai app on my Xbox AND PS, thank you!
I grew up with home consoles. I don't want that to change. :(Quote:

I reiterate "this seems scary." All conjecture till they say whats what, but scary nonetheless, though to be honest, NextBox seems more likely to become a big streaming platform. They have already made such move to sugest they want Xbox and Windows (8) to be center of a grad ecosystem, while Sony is only now seeming to take a more broader, encompassing aproach with the PlayStation brand though I could still see them doing something rediculously rash at the last second. And with the inhouse turbulence, change of command, and current financial issues.... :(

lol Yep. Looks like alot of PS3 exclusives wont be "true" exclusives anymore since you'll be able to also play them on the PC and most likely with better graphics. I can see why Sony would do this to increase revenue since alot of their exclusives dont sell very well.Quote:

I still think there's a lot of gun jumping with the idea of PS3 games on PC...I can't see that happening personally.Quote:

Its all relative and amazing is definitely subjective. Personally I think both consoles have some amazing games to offer. I wouldn't want to miss out on what either console offers. But hey thats just me.Quote:

Demon's Souls, MGS 4, inFamous, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, GoW 3, LBP, Journey...I couldn't have done without these games. Not all Sony's exclusives are run away successes of course, but those I've mentioned have been heavily lauded critically and/or by the gaming community so when I look at the breadth of game experiences I would much prefer to be a PS3 gamer who missed out on Gears, Halo, Fable and Forza than a 360 gamer who missed out on the above titles....and that's just me! :)Quote:

MS may have less exclusives but the ones they do have I like better and I can say that because unlike you I've played both consoles exclusives. Just saying.Quote:

Turn on your system, run the app, then you can connect to the pc. That way people have to keep the console.
As for cell phones, ect., if they don't have a controller then certain games will just be impossible to play.
