Not necessarily. That's just one of the things that they can do with Gaikai.


What else can be done with Gaikai? Ot has that not been revealed yet?

How would I know? :lol EDIT: Never mind. I read that wrong.

I don't think there's anything more that hasn't been revealed. There's still a lot of cool stuff that they detailed back in February at the reveal. Especially the remote play. If your friend gives you permission, you can play their game on their console from your own console at your own home. You could be in two different cities, states, provinces, countries, etc.





There's also remote play with the Vita. You can continue your PS4 game from anywhere on your Vita. You can also stream your game to other consoles without needing to go through Ustream. Instant access to digital games. Video and screen capping.

Sony's Viacom Deal Is Big News For PS4

"It’s not hard to see how this news applies to the console war. While Sony has largely pursued a games-centric marketing strategy with the PS4 so far, the company has been trying to turn its Playstation consoles into central entertainment hubs for years. Not only will this deal likely up the PS4′s video offerings in the near-term, it could mark a return to aggressively pursuing a box that can do TV with the best of them. Not entirely coincidentally, that’s Microsoft MSFT +0.41%‘s plan with Xbox One as well. In this next-gen fight, we’re witness to a battle where the two sides are eagerly stealing the best parts of each other’s ideas until their features lists look near-identical."

It was smart of them to cater to the gamers first.

12GB is awful, but I don't see why the HDD wouldn't be replaceable like every other PS3. That's more than likely the PlayStation releasing in October. I can't remember, but I think Sony did the same thing with the PS2 right before the PS3 launched.

Unless the new cheaper PS3 is less than $200, the best deal for people who don't have PS3's is still the GTA bundle coming out. You get the system, cables, controller, and everything as usual with a 500GB HDD, a month of PS+ (which is like 12 free games), and GTA V. It's $269.99 on Amazon right now.

THAT ARTICLE SAYS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING. BOTH CONSOLES ARE CONTINUOUSLY BITING OFF EACH OTHER TO WHERE FEATURES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ACROSS THE BOARD.

Yeah now I'm kinda sad I was so vocal about the XBONE cause now its just a PS4 that plays Halo. I NEED REASONS TO BUY THEM BOTH!!!!
 
What features did the PS4 "bite" other than cross game communication? All of the PS4's features were detailed at the reveal 4 months before the X1 was. The TV thing looks more like a streaming service like Netflix, but for live TV. The X1 works more like a pass-through with your existing DVR.
 
honestly speaking, now that the xbox has rolled back all of its previous requirements, it seems the only real differences between the two consoles are $100 and exclusive games. I have a 360 and due to m$ crap policies they tried to implement i decided to get the ps4 this go around. but now with those gone, the only reasons im still leaning to the ps4 are i hate to backtrack and m$ completely disrespect us gamers with no regard for our opinions UP UNTIL e3 where playstation absolutely dismantled them. Since then, theyve been backpedaling to save face/increase sales. I dont want to support a company who gives me poop, tells me its gold and to get used to it, and once we all turn our backs...THEN they say just kidding..you do matter.

but to be honest, the exclusives on the xbox look better to me at this point. without bias, how do u guys feel about it
 
Xbox might have gone back on it now but who's to say they won't try this **** again in a few years? Can't trust them

That's not happening... but,

Series like:

Uncharted
Infamous
Gran Tourismo
Killzone
Last of Us

... and games like
Final Fantasy XIV
Outlast
Warframe
The Order
Drive Club

Basically any Level 5 or Atlus game


As well as the benefits of PS+ have me preordering a day 1 PS4, while waiting at least a few months before an XBox 1.

this is the argument me and my friends pose. they were DEADSET on telling us this is the future. That we need to get used to cloud gaming. That the DRM crap is gonna be everywhere soon. That if we dont wanna play online then go buy a 360. They werent trying to hear a WORD we said, until it became apparent we were all jumping ship. The time to treat your customer correct is NOT as theyre walking out the door, because even if they come back inside...they will always have in the back of their mind that you dont care about THEM, just the $ you were about to lose out on.
