What Does Transfarring Mean for Gaming?

Benjamin Yoder from gamrFeed - "E3 hasn't even started yet, but Konami has already released their pre-E3 video, showing off the latest trailers for their upcoming titles, announcing a handful of HD collections and teasing some new titles. For the most part, there's nothing all that surprising. But Hideo Kojima, head of Kojima Productions, talked at length about a new concept called “Transfarring.” Basically it allows players to transfer save data between home and portable consoles. Players can continue playing the same save file in titles like Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker across both Sony's portable and home consoles. But do gamers really want to bring the home experience into a portable environment, and is the idea ahead of its time?"

One question I have about transfarring is, do I need to buy two copies of a game (one on PS3, one on PSP/NGP) to do it?

VampiricDragon5444d ago

yes at least with these collection titles.

morganfell5444d ago

Maybe it depends on where you live because Japanese interviews with Kojima hint at digital DLC versions for NGP/PSP included with the PS3 purchase.

Chaostar5444d ago

There's always hope, pretty useless feature if you have to buy 2 games IMO.

AnttiApina5444d ago

If only this could work wirelessly, like the Steam cloud saving system: You can play the same game from your account in other computers and have the same savestates from your games.

Chaostar5444d ago

Excellent point and i think it's something they're probably working on right now, after all, it would only take a software update.

DigitalRaptor5444d ago

I'm not sure how it's gonna work with future titles, as that depends on the publisher, but according to the official Konami site, the MGS HD Collection will come with a free download code for Peace Walker for PSP.

first of all. This is only for older games so far. And its only for konami

And its not really a good idea because it makes either the ps3 or ngp worthless if its taken too far. You dont need both

Kee5444d ago

What on earth is a transfar?

news4geeks5444d ago

it's when a fission gets mailed.

limewax5444d ago

Seems like cloud saving......?

Nicolee5444d ago

yes good idea behide it but i am not too sure that it would work.do i really need to play same game on both portable and console? but for me my portable game that i like to play it would be different than what i can play on my ps3 anyway mmmm it might work but i have to wait and see .

Miths5444d ago

When you make up new terms, doesn't it make sense to choose something that won't instantly make everyone think it's merely a typo of an existing word?

That’s interesting. Not in a good way

-Foxtrot217d ago

Why couldn't we have just had a straight forward Kojima horror game...like you know, a full P.T like game, Silent Hills but made into a new IP.

cloganart217d ago

Because he wants to do Physint real bad lol

-Foxtrot217d ago

I would have honestly sacrificed Death Stranding 2 for the P.T horror game at this point so he could still to Physint

FinalFantasyFanatic217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

I thought that was what we were going to get, I'm very disappointed, I hope they don't charge out the ass for this game if it's episodic, maybe I'll wait for an OD collection unless the game is bad.

I really thought we were going to get a spiritual successor to P.T.

Nice I didn’t play the game but I’m happy they’ll see more money coming from this game on other platforms 👍👍

Cacabunga539d ago

It’s available on PS+ and never bothered to even press the view button.. this game tells me absolutely nothing and looks too boring to my taste.

CornholioX539d ago

Same here. I do have respect for Kojima and his passion for making games but Death Stranding is boring imo. I won't buy Death Stranding 2.

mudakoshaka539d ago

I liked the setting. Beautiful game. Started playing 3 times, twice on PC and once on the PS5, but never got halfway past the story. Was a bit reprtetive.

BlackCountryBob539d ago

After all the really weird trailers (I still don’t understand what the black goo is about, or the baby) but I read something from someone who said it’s a good game but becomes great after 100 hours which was the thing that made me know it’s just never gonna be a game I’d enjoy. I’m pretty sure 100 hours is not far off my total gaming for a year

Obscure_Observer540d ago

Nice!

I´m gonna buy it. Curious to see how well my Series X will handle a Guerrilla´s Decima powered game. Even more curious to see how the S is gonna handle it.

The DF review on this is gonna be interesting to say at least.

lukasmain539d ago

Glad you're going to buy it. I really hope you enjoy it and can immerse yourself in it.

Obscure_Observer539d ago

Thank you! Hopefully I will. :)

piroh539d ago

You not sad it's not on gamepass?

539d ago
piroh539d ago

Same pricing as Sea of thieves when launched on Playstation. Enjoy DS coz its great game.

539d ago
P_Bomb539d ago

Death Stranding is 50% off on XB for TWO weeks. That’s not the forever price.

Obscure_Observer539d ago

"You not sad it's not on gamepass?"

Not really. Why would I?

Already bought it. Size is 79.74GB on Xbox Series X. Gonna try it later. Hopefully it´s good.

1Victor539d ago (Edited 539d ago )

@obscuredSkyisFalling: “ Death stranding was already on gamepass

It’s $20 and includes Xbox and PC. Bargain. It’s $50 on PS store, without the 2nd copy.”

why are you afraid of using your account to post that obvious trolling and offensive comment it’s nothing new to us. 🤷🏿
EDIT: HA already spammed to death 🤣

Petebloodyonion539d ago

You know that the game has been on PC Gamepass before right?

Chocoburger540d ago (Edited 540d ago )

I have to admit, that I'm surprised by this, but the more people who can play, the better. Xbox gamers, give it a chance if you don't mind walking through a massive map in mostly solitude, and also keep in mind, that late into the game, it becomes an zipline simulator!

-Foxtrot540d ago

I wonder if it was in the contract or something that after so many years Kojima would get full ownership.

I_am_Batman539d ago

That's very plausible in my opinion. The importance of ownership must've been very clear to him after his departure from Konami.

Profchaos539d ago (Edited 539d ago )

My money is that it was a sweetener when they approached him for ds2 and psyops exclusivity or timed exclusivity

porkChop539d ago

I'm wondering if this means the Strand system patent gets transferred to KojiPro. Sony never should have patented it to begin with when it was KojiPro's invention.
