Playstation Cloud Rumor Busted

Internet message boards -- including IGN's -- are buzzing about the possible reality of PlayStation Cloud, a PlayStation Network portal that collects your saves, stats, and trophies for the world to see. Usually, these rumors come and go without much happening, but this poster -- originally on a Game Trailers message board -- included a photo with his leak.

Fishy Fingers6168d ago

Strange to get a reaction so soon.. hmmm...

Sev6168d ago (Edited 6168d ago )

Very strange. Hasn't this only been on forums for less than 2 hours?

Maybe this is like the Qore leak of the PSPgo. Staged.

uie4rhig6168d ago

whats your source saying on this? could you check if this is true?

kissmeimgreek6168d ago

That was the shortest hype time I've ever been in...

*picks up PSP and goes back to playing Monster Hunter*

Sev6168d ago

LOL, better sooner than later.

Myst6168d ago

Lol true, but come on at least give me 30 minutes to enjoy the rumor :p

PirateThom6168d ago

Jeff does work for Sony though, so it's hard to take his word as fact on leaks. :P

Sev6168d ago

I couldn't agree more. I am going to do some digging. ;)

Mr_Showtime16168d ago

Take a hint Sony, we, the cusomers and the gamers, who spent alot of money on your console, want features like this, that's why people conjure up fakes. Take note of the positive reaction and get on the ball and develop something along the lines of this!

snaz276168d ago

i suppose i should ask why really? to me everything i just read sounded pointless anyway, in-game screenshots? why? uploading to youtube? hmmm ok i could see why maybe someone would want that but id never use it, and im sure there would be more people that wouldnt use it, than people who would.. you can access all your info from any ps3? again why?... now if we were talking skype on the ps3! hell yeah! in my opinion that should allready be done! cross game voice chat! yes (i wouldnt use it that much but i can see its uses, saves typing) in-game music on all games yes! there are loads of things we could do with but the stuff that this cloud was suppossed to do just sounds naff!

Mr_Showtime16168d ago

For starters, I really like knowing what my friends are doing, I like the competitiveness of trophies and I enjoy just the general social aspect. I also play the playstation around at friend's houses alot, so to be able to access my own save files from any playstation would be great. However I do agree that the Skype/ Cross game chat is a badly needed feature. This Cloud is just something I think would benefit the PSN service as a whole bringing about a greater sense of community that is lacking. :)

snaz276168d ago

but couldnt you just take your game saves via a usb stick? im aware some wont let you but most do right? you just cant earn trophies like that for obvious reasons... and you can log into your account from any ps3 already and see whos online etc, but if your at a friends playing games would you care what the rest is doing? or couldnt you get your friends to add your other mates? i do like the competition that trophies bring however, i just feel what your saying is already there, why dont they just focus on getting us some cool features that actually mean something at that people will actually use, i was dissapointed that there was no firmware announcement at e3, i thought it was a given that they would do something, but i was wrong lol, skype ps3 would have just made my year!

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.

solideagle13d 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

Relientk7713d ago

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.

DarXyde20d 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.

Soy20d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

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.

Cacabunga22d ago

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

S2Killinit21d ago (Edited 21d 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.

neutralgamer199221d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga21d 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

1nsomniac21d ago (Edited 21d 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.

medman21d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger21d 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_Box22d 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.

robtion21d 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.

darthv7222d 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.

Agent7521d ago

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

S2Killinit21d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14921d ago

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

Lightning7721d 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.
