Only thing that might be iffy is who becomes the content provider if you don't enjoy the service
The cloud service or SEN?
This is gonna need a whole fucking road-map to let us know what it's all about
This might also be a ploy by Sony to swerve the PS4 no BC option (SEN wise)
Hey you can still play your PSN games through Onlive/Gaikai
Pc games on Ps3?
Come borrow some of mine =D
Isn t that big of a deal?haven't used Gaikai, but onlive coming to PS3 isn't that big of a deal.
Content wise, it's pretty lacking. Saying that, there is a certain appeal to playing Amnesia on a big screen telly with the volume way up and curtains closed.
We pay $60/month for this crap:
Oh, Canada!
But the real reason I don't give a shit about streaming games (or streaming anything, for that matter)? Bandwidth limits
Yeah, this is similar to mine.Since everyone started posting images of their connection speed, here's mine too.
Fu*k game streaming...
Give me your tears.
DAT UPLOAD
Give me your tears.
Give me your tears.
Could work the same as the deal Nintendo announced for Wii U/3DS - retailers are given physical cards to sell which can be redeemed for games to download/stream, the pricing is set by them.Just a slight question/concern...what kind of effect does this have on retail gaming? That is a massive side of the industry with most of the money is made. Is cloud gaming going to make a massive impact on that side of the industry if someone big backs it i.e. Sony?
And they don't even offer cable in my area!
Why I don'y give a shit about streaming games.
Damn thats fast but your at college you don't own that
Funny since their fastest is 150/150 advertised you somehow got more!! I wish I could afford the 150/150 but it's 200.00 a month!!
Can you actually play anything there or do they block you all the ports?
Didn't Gaikai claim one of the three is pulling out of the console race at this E3 a few months ago?
Hello,
I know it is late in the booking process, but hopefully you will have an open slot. Gaikai, created by David Perry (Earthworm Jim and 100 other games), has some major announcements in store for E3 that have the potential to change the future of video games, game consoles and how we play. Gaikai will change the way you view consoles.
We would like to invite you to the Gaikai meeting room (Room 306 above the South Hall) on June 5, 6, or 7 to hear all about Gaikai's disruptive plans from the Company's CEO, David Perry.
Tuesday (6/5) - Noon thru 5pm. Presentations will begin every half hour. If you can't make the presentation, come by for drinks from 5-7pm.
Wednesday (6/6) - Noon thru 5pm. Presentations will begin every half hour. If you can't make the presentation, come by for drinks from 5-7pm.
Thursday (6/7) - Noon thru 6pm. Presentations will begin every half hour.
Space is limited in each presentation, so please let us know as soon as possible when you can come by and we'll schedule you in. If you plan on bringing a video camera, please let us know and we'll reserve a special spot for you.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Yeah
Speaking during CES, Nanea Reeves, chief product officer for Gaikai, predicted, "Not all of the current console makers will have one more generation. That will be the big news at E3." (CES / Consumer Electronics Show, Culture, Dev, Gaikai, Industry, Next-Gen)

If one of them announced heavy investment in cloud serving games, I wouldn't be that surprised actually. With the clout of a big company like Sony or MS, it could work, and the actual devices would be cheap. I can't imagine Sony doing that though...
With internet speeds/connection rates among owners across the nation, I can't imagine any company actually doing that.
A company banking on Internet connection speeds improving over the next 5 years would be no different than MS or Sony banking on HD adoption rates increasing as they did 6 years ago. It seems a fairly safe bet, I think.

OnLIve looked better than the 720p youtube when I played it. I think the service like this would be absolutely usable for people who don't demand the absolute best A/V quality but want to play PS4 games on PS3. Or PS3 and PS4 games on Vita (especially on vita compression wouldn't be as visible due to oled and higher PPI.Unless something fantastic happens you wont be seeing PS3 or PS4 quality games on either service 720p is the max resolution as of today and their not clean 720p more compressed youtube like.
More than likely it's a service to allow both PS3 and Vita to play a huge PS1/PS2 games catalog for playstation plus members without additional costs to the yearly fee.
