Sony trademarks 'Cloudsurf'

Destructoid writes: SCEJ's recent trademark doesn't confirm or convince us that paid PSN subscriptions are indeed on the platform creator's "to-do" list, but it does make us think that Sony might be considering delivering digital content in a different way.

Dude, GTFO or go to the open zone. They say Ps3 fans are the worst...

Anorexorcist5985d ago (Edited 5985d ago )

How come Gaystation Pee hasn't been banned to the Open Zone yet???

I mean, there are still standards to be held in the Gamer Zone, right?

Don't forget that idiot also goes under the user name: "Piece of Shlt Netwrk"

Take two turds out with one flush!!!

isn't cloud computing like unlimited storage for your personal stuff? I really don't know either but I think this because of how the UC2 demo was and how you could save every game you played saved on a server or something can't remember.

INehalemEXI5985d ago

thought it said cloudsmurf for a second

ReservoirDog3165985d ago

Sad that someone out there has that much spare time huh?

On topic though, no clue what this could be but it can't be bad can it? So let's hope it's good.

Cloud gaming allows you, a gamer, to play any type of game on servers, not your console. What makes this system so great is that you can access the game anywhere without having to worry about physical media. The bad part, for some, is not owning a physical copy of the game - some worry their cloud data could be erased whereas others just want to collect the cases.

Anything "cloud" is going to be set up similarly. If the PSN used a cloud system, then you would be able to access your information from their servers (trophies, ID, save filesetc.). You could then use it for a plethora of other things like online gamertags for forum boards which is something the PSN currently has set up.

In my opinion cloud gaming will play an interesting part in the next two decades or so. Blu-ray needs to die off, which is highly unlikely, and digital distribution needs to take place before companies start going completely cloud-based.

the system packs too much feature. the comparisons are like night and day. Sometime I feel that the 360 is just an add on to the gaming juggernauts, Sony and Nintendo. their like the endpoint of a line segment.

any other system adds on to the experience like a feature.

Sevir045985d ago

well it makes sense, the whole cloud gaming thing, but Sony's thing> the survey said something about Cloud storage.

Godmars2905985d ago (Edited 5985d ago )

If the part about offering an hour of gameplay from any game is true, Cloud distribution would be the only thing that makes sense.

What doesn't is paid access to Hulu after Hulu blocked access from the free web browser. Being a "free" web service and all.

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.

solideagle23d 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.

DarXyde30d 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.

Soy30d 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.

Cacabunga32d ago

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

S2Killinit31d ago (Edited 31d 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.

neutralgamer199231d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga31d 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

1nsomniac31d ago (Edited 31d 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.

medman31d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger31d 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_Box32d 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.

robtion31d 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.

darthv7232d 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.

Agent7531d ago

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

S2Killinit31d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14932d ago

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

Lightning7732d 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.
