Just sit back a minute and imagine.

IF this is true, which is clearly definitely isn't. But lets imagine it is for a second. Instead of hearing about this at E3, or Gamescom or TGS or on the Blog, or from Yoshida on twitter, we heard about it from whomever controls the twitter account for Game in Basildon.

lol

NDA breaking are not uncommon. But yeah, it's not happening.

 

[Acccent]

Maybe they just mean that you can still access the list of stuff you've bought on the PSN Store

but

like


you can't launch it

 

[shinra-bansho]

Sounds like misinterpretation.

Probably just means things like Flower that are being ported will be cross-buy - which has already been announced.

 

[HariKari]

GAME Basildon ‏@GAMEBasildon 36s
@GazVon yup, TLOU played on your Vita, streamed from your PS4 that you bought digitally for your PS3!

Well there's no stopping this until someone steps in.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I'm hoping something was lost in translation. Or, Sony dude knows GTA5 is coming to PS4, and had a brain fart. Otherwise we are about to be mindfucked.

This is fucking huge if they aren't getting confused!

 

[Goldrusher]

We've known this for years.

Same account, same purchases.

However, just like on the PSVITA, you won't be able to play anything, unless it gets a port. And even then, only if the game is cross-buy.

 

[foxbeldin]

I'm not... i don't... i... wat?

 

[Diablos54]

If this is really true, then WOW, huge news!

 

[F0rneus]

Hopes crushed for Harmony of Despair on PS4 T_T

 

[suddenlyissoon]

Surely this can't be true out of the gate. If it is, I'm going to be kicking myself that I didn't buy TLoU digitally.

 

[IN&OUT]

I don't believe this, PS4 is NOT BC!!

 

[JetSetRadio]

Sounds like gaikai no?

 

[Sum-Mischief]

Im not sure what to take from this

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Unless they've got a mini ps3 in there I doubt it.

 

[EMT0]

A half-truth sounds nice. How much do I have to pay for Gaikai, aside from paying for the content I'll be using Sony?

Spoiler

(Because I know I'm ready and willing to anyways)

 

[HariKari]

I'm not... i don't... i... wat?

Adnan ‏@ixYi 9m
@GAMEBasildon @yosp But games are certain?

GAME Basildon ‏@GAMEBasildon 7m
@ixYi @yosp Took us by surprise as well, but yes. Told any games you download digitally will be available.

Adnan ‏@ixYi 1m
@GAMEBasildon @yosp Did they mentioned anything about Gaikai? Will the digital content be accessible from Day 1?

GAME Basildon ‏@GAMEBasildon 29s
@ixYi @yosp No. Aim to be implemented in 2014.

Slow down guys

Hah, well shit, everyone onboard the hype train, we'll be arriving at disappointment when Yosh gets here.

This is just dumb.

 

[Projectjustice]

This is going to have a huge backfire for that twitter guy! Lol

 

[Cube1701]

I'm pretty sure Sony meant non-game digital content and cross-buy stuff like Flower.

 

[Alej]

It's IMPOSSIBLE.
There are no difference between a PS3 Blu-ray game and a digital game.
I don't know how there are people that still doesn't undestand this...
Game UK don't know what they are talking about.

The difference is they are tied to your account. In fact it makes a whole lot of difference for Gaikai use for example, because they know how much copies of a game are on how many accounts. Not that i trust this, but we don't know if a form of PS4 API isn't supporting multiplatform (crossplatform) engines from the get-go.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

The only thing I can think off is that you can stream any PSN game you own over Gaikai for free. When the service is availeble that is.

 

[Biochet]

Wot i dont even

 

[Acquiescence]

Can't wait to play Jumping Flash on my PS4.

Why do I get so excited at the prospect of playing Jumping Flash! on the PS4.

 

[HT UK]

Whichever sales assistant is tweeting this just needs to stop. It's embarrassing. I hope it's just a Christmas temp or something

 

[gamerforever]

So, that includes the PS1/ PS2 games I have bought on PSN?

Fantastic news if true and softens the blow of not having any Backwards Compatibility. Surely, this clears the way for PS3 games to transfer over to the PS4 too?

 

[PodcastFips]

It's unlikely but...

OMG, WHAT IF THIS IS TRUE?! :O

 

[Paganmoon]

Not really. PS3 has PS2 BC for digital titles, but not retail.

No PS3's since the launch models have had PS2 BC, the PS2 digital tiltes come with built in emulators. So technically, the PS3 does not have ps2 BC (other than launch models).

 

[rmanthorp]

Wot i dont even

That's INSANE.

Can't be true.

 

[Aostia]

that's a very good news, imho! BC for digital games at least is a good point

 

[uncharted86]

Slow down guys

LOL this is Gaikai. Someone please say it to him on twitter.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Famousmortimer save us

 

[Into]

Other than a misunderstanding, maybe they just found some new news about Gaikai and forgetting to mention that detail.

Yeah you might be able to transfer your purchase of say Bully (PS2) and Far Cry 3 (PS3) to your PS4 and then Gaikai will recognize you own these games and allow you to stream and play them.

 

[Acquiescence]

Wot i dont even

I just don't buy into it. It's all too good to be true.

 

[Lexxism]

This is way too awesome to be true.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Wot i dont even

lol, ok, this must 100% be bullshit. Is it even an official Game twitter account?

 

[SilentFlyer]

Asked If its Day 1.

Waiting to know If its through Gaikai or not.

 

[Goku]

Wait a minute, I bought Tekken Tag 2 on PSN, will that mean I'll be able to play it on PS4?

EDIT: I don't buy it.

 

[Prince Vultan]

ASS TALES! OOO WOO OOO!

 

[HariKari]

that's a very good news, imho! BC for digital games at least is a good point

If it is true, the tweets say it will show up sometime in 2014 and isn't related to Gaikai.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Sounds like Gaikai based on that last tweet. Also the 2014 roll out makes it would even more like Gaikai.

 

[Z3M0G]

https://twitter.com/GAMEBasildon/status/391172986780540928

They seem to be just loving the attention now...

 

[reptilescorpio]

Slow down guys

Ah damn, if only they led with that

Still nice to know we don't have to rebuy games on Gaikai.

 

[curb]

I like how they keep confirming this stuff just so @yosp can bring down the hammer a little harder within a few hours.

I'm sure he'll get to this once the Drive Club hate has calmed down.

 

[Dynoro]

It will be Gaikai - which is 2014 for US and 2015 for elsewhere iirc

 

[Draft]

Wow! This almost makes up for Driveclub being delayed.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

This is not happening.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Even if true not natively..... because it does not have ps3 hardware inside.

It has to come over time trough streaming right?

 

[Mokubba]

lol I really doubt it.
If it somehow became true then Driveclub can take it's time being developed lol.

 

[Withnail]

This will not end well.
