Sony and the PS Cloud

A.P. Stephens of the Examiner writes:

"With the current success of Valve's service of Steam and the announcement last week of OnLive, Sony has taken the necessary steps in acquiring the name for something they might try in the future.

Should Sony go full force into the Cloud-style of gaming?"

To say the least, shouldn't we first figure out exactly what sonys intentions are with "PS Cloud"???
I haven't read ANYWHERE that Sony actually gave us any news on Cloud. Dead straight to the point not hint hint news anyway..
How do we even know that PS "Cloud" Isn't something to do with the PSP??? I logged on 2 weeks ago and read my first article on Cloud... this is the first time since then and i have not found any evidence on Sony saying anything.. just someone snooping around and found a Patent.

My Idea is hopefully it is something for PSP that allows the PSP user to connect to PlayStation Home!
That would be neat, anyway, this is all just my opinion anyway..

Since we saw OnLive at GDC the idea of Cloud Gaming is real F'n cool but it's also surrounded by ton's of questionmarks.

I'm fine with Sony going forward with it as long as they don't rush the development cycle and launch it at full capacity. I'd rather have my hands on it in 10 years running perfectly smooth than 5 years with ton's of issues.

We'll see

STK0266295d ago

like it hapenned many times in the past, PS Cloud may never see the day of light. It's not unusual for big corporations like Sony or Micorsoft to patent some cool tech and to never use it. I hope it's cool and that we get to use it, but until someone at Sony says anything about it, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

THC CELL6295d ago

i think it will be a ps4 addon

pwnsause6295d ago

doesnt the 360 use cloud computing in some way with XBL? correct me if im wrong.

THC CELL6295d ago

Er i dont think so
i think u are dreaming or maybe i am missing something
Ohh xbox

Like a i care about that console

Why are u even bringing that console up

PotNoodle6295d ago

The PS3 could be classed as already using cloud computing. You know, with remote play.

The PS3 is the cloud, the PSP connects to it - the PS3 does all the work (running the games, software etc).

THC CELL6295d ago (Edited 6295d ago )

hear we go
one day we will see not xbox vs playstation anymore

it will be Playstation C vs Onlive

xbox out of the picture lol Great

unless they do there own

Sony will continue to support blu ray also
and on demand service

By the way
Ps3 can run a os
so i think onlive will be able to stream to ps3

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle62d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde69d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy69d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga70d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199270d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga70d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman69d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger70d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box70d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion69d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7270d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7570d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit70d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14970d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7770d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
