PlayStation Plus Cloud Save Impressions [Game Rant]

Ben Kendrick of Game Rant writes, "The future has arrived, PlayStation Plus members can now backup and access save data through the PSN cloud. Is the service a must-have console feature or just a gimmick?"

Only using this for my big files only.

UNCyrus5545d ago

Games I've backed up -- FFXIII, WKC, and Trinity Universe.

Neko_Mega5545d ago

Another good idea is back up copyright games files (If you can, I don't know if you can because I don't have any).

darthv725545d ago (Edited 5545d ago )

if once you have a game save uploaded, will that save be synced like the trophies or will you have to re-upload your save when changes are made.

The idea is sound of offsite storage so long as they can minimize the packet size to make stream loading possible. Right now they arent set up to do that.

edit: i guess that answers that question.

I figured it would be like this (at first). The performance of various internet connections and the size of the save files make it difficult to implement the same system that the trophies use. Time will tell as they make improvements to it.

I copied all 114 of my save files to the cloud and i still have 93/150mb of space left.

Playing downstairs. Save file to cloud. Move upstairs. Download file. Continue playing upstairs!

This is a pretty bad*ss idea.

I wonder if it will ever be given to non PS+ members.

Neko_Mega5545d ago

I think it will but I bet then Plus users will get more memory and non plus users will get what we started with.

But this, auto download, free stuff, all that isn't to bad for what you pay for. I mean it isn't like you paying for online only.

Oh yeah, cool avi.

darthv725545d ago (Edited 5545d ago )

They have to have some features that set the members apart from the freeloaders.

This is how it is going to be. New features will be aimed towards the paid subscribers (like xb live) while online gaming will remain free (unlike xb live). I would bet $ that x game chat will find itself on the "plus" side if it comes out.

Neko_Mega5545d ago

But we are talking about Sony and not Microsoft.

Sony is well known for making things free or at good price, were Microsoft has just up the price when they add something new.

"Sony is well known for making things free or at good price, were Microsoft has just up the price when they add something new."

The have increased the price of XBL once in the last 8 years...despite seeing demand increase exponentially. Good analysis bub.

phatak5545d ago

this is very smilar to steams cloud. I like it

jwk945545d ago

Backed up all of my games, loving it so far, but i'd have to give it a 4/5 for now since we can't copy multiple games at a time. And yeah, we can copy "Copyright" protected games.

blusoops5545d ago (Edited 5545d ago )

I believe it's been mentioned that u CAN backup the copy protected files. In fact I saw a video in which it was being done...

jwk945545d ago

I just said we can bro, i have demon's souls and I backed it up.

blusoops5545d ago

oh yeah you did lol...sry misread your comment

darthv725545d ago

it was a couple fw ago that you could backup copyrighted saves in general. Even if you were swapping hdds. It used to be you couldnt and a buddy of mine lost his kz2 saves when he had to send his system to sony for repair. He was able to backup all the non copy protected stuff.

Doing it in the "cloud" would be no special thing seeing as they let you do it regular now.

redsquad5545d ago

It's a great feature, and handy for transferring saves between my upstairs and downstairs PS3's. Barely scrapped 2MB so far, so the 150 is rather generous.

foss35545d ago

I've had some big save files that were around 6-7MB each for Fallout (and New Vegas), Demon's Souls, and a few others.

So 150MB is OK but I'd prefer 1GB and also the ability to save whatever we want, not just game files.

The feature should just be generic cloud storage so that "PS3 Cloud" or something would show up under each XMB area where applicable.

Also, web access to your cloud from playstation.com

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5820d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905820d ago (Edited 5820d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5820d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5820d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495820d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5820d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5820d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
