Today, we take a closer look at one of the reimaged games on Atari 50, Vctr Sctr.
As is tradition, the Game Developers Conference has released the results of its annual survey on platform preferences among developers. Once again, PC stands out as the most popular platform.
The Epic Games Store weekly give-away is finger-licking-good? Maybe?
Sony details a new cloud streaming method designed to improve stability, reduce visual drops, and make game streaming more reliable across devices.
cloud gaming has its detractors... but im enjoying the ease of picking up my portal or gcloud and just playing a game. No installs, no waiting... just playing. I hope Sony expands the library to include PS3 for the portal, i know its available on the 5... I use my portal more now than my 5.
I welcome any improvements to the experience, and wish more would give it a real honest try before condemning it.
I'm enjoying my games through the Portal mostly these days. I think the only time I had to sit down in front of the tv playing on my PS5 is for the GT7 online events, where the noticeable input lag presented by the Portal in online play really makes it not yet suitable for such competitions. but for everything else, the Portal is a perfect device for me and this is without me subscribing to higher PS+ tiers, only the essential.
The Portal has come a long way when it comes to the quality of its connectivity. for several months after launch, the only real way to enjoy it was through your local home network. and then they improved it a lot from there it's unbeliveable. I am using it at the office with Wifi6E (I know the Portal only has Wifi5 but the better AP really helps) and now even just using my 4G/5G connection from my phone I'm able to enjoy my games away from home.
It's hard for me to be impressed with the Switch or Switch 2 while games like Ghost of Yotei deliver the graphics they can only dream about already on my Portal albeit through streaming. the Portal is among one of the best purchases you can make for the PS5. no regret
Totally agree on the Switch 2 comment. Yotei looks great of course but look at games on both platforms like Cyberpunk or the new release FF7 Remake. Its night and day visually on top of being 60 vs 30.
According to Sony’s testing:
• The AI runs in under 1 millisecond on a single CPU core
• No extra buffering or lookahead is required
• No additional encoding passes are needed
• The system adapts only when scene changes occur
This makes it suitable for real-time cloud gaming, where even small delays can affect responsiveness.
Measurable Gains Without Added Latency
Sony evaluated the system using modern 1080p60 game footage under strict low-latency conditions. The tests showed:
• Up to 2.3 VMAF improvement compared to static encoding ladders
• Lower bitrate usage without visible quality loss
Slightly fewer dropped frames during gameplay
• No measurable increase in encoding delay
PlayStation has had AI for their game streaming since they added PS5 and 4K streaming. They purchased iSIZE and their tech specifically for it.
It's the reason who PlayStation streaming has some of the cleanest picture and virtually zero image breakup. if the AI detects image breakup it replaces the frame with information from the previous frame.
It seems like this is some sort of improvement upon that, this sounds like it's a bit lower latency.
If it uses 1 core for ai can u imagine more cores for ai? Even going above 1080P how about 4k 120fps?
Superb game love the mash up:)
