Sure they can. Plenty of MMOs out there and you can't play them without internet connection. Ever heard of MMO players complaining you need to be connected to the internet?
As for the cloud tech, I recommend you guys watch this. Nvidia cloudlight demo. Works great even at 500 ms

Way to go posting old off-screen shots. It looks amazing for what it is btw, a tool where you can build any game you want bigger than any game you've played.
Sucks for you wherever you live. In my country I got 200 mbps symetrical (upload/download both 200) for 15 usd after conversion...and I live currently in a small town. Yo america, catch up with the internet, will you!?

^^ this is what an ignorant kid looks like. I was playing games when you weren't probably even on this world. I own almost every major gaming system that was released in last 30 years. I've played it all and I'm still playing it.
Project Spark is casual? Do you even have any idea what it does? All your favourite games, indies or whatever else you like, you can basicly re-create in project spark in a different style. Once it's ou...
Wow. You are a sad little person. I'd be enjoying awesome, best looking games on the launch. Insecurity in you is so strong you. N4g is probably the only place you feel safe about your purchase. Ahh..once I get a ps4 maybe next year when some interesting game will show up, I'm not gonna connect it online because the community is just so fkin sad.
Looks good for a "free" game (however it's all tight corridors so it's not stressing the system a lot..)but I'd take Project Spark any day over this, eventho I'm a fan of dark souls.
It depends on the architecture of the whole system. Please research a little first. More is not always best.
Honestly I don't dig this game. Not only it doesn't look half as fun as ratchet & clank but it also looks pretty bad for next gen. This actually looks like ps3 game upscaled to higher res...and it can't hit stable 30 fps =O. Cenry, you know ps4 better than anyone else, you are the lead architect...you could do better than this.
EDIT: I don't mind the style, love unrealistic design but the whole graphics aren't what they should be on next gen...look at...
Europe small? It got more than twice as much population as USA lol (3 times more with russia). In addition, Russia is actually part of Europe and just Russia alone is 2x bigger than USA. If that's not big then I don't know what is.
you fanboys look for conspiracy theory anywhere...damn you guys are getting sad.

or maybe he's actually a cool dude?
you another of those emo kids who always are like:
"on the party I like to stand in the corner and look at all those lame people dance, dancing is lame"
"I won't move in front of the tv it's lame", "being serious is cool"
kids these days...are lame!

No. Start reading facts instead of fanboy comments with resolutions and fps. Btw, have you been at eurogamer? No? ok.
"The only problem here is that, despite being a 30fps game in target, we see dramatic frame-rate drops when too many of these pieces go zooming across the screen to form...
@dboyc310
no not the internet, it's about america. I visit plenty of forums in different languages from different parts of the world. People can actually discuss there about consoles and other things without offending each other. On most gaming forums where majority of users are americans it's always "my sh!t is better than yours if you don't agree then gtfo". Not to mention how easily americans are fooled by PR talk or anything their gov throws at them....
@newmonday
I'd like to get a real source for that. Link to articles or anything else from third party devs (no sony indies please!) confirming ps4 is stronger or is faster to develop for. So far the only one who said it was People Can Fly former dev that said " I HEARD FROM OTHERS" . Anyone who post this nonsense like you just did should provide real sources or never speak again about it.
@DigitalRaptor
Could say same about you. You keep on forgetting you will not be getting any free games on ps4 for a loooooooong time for your psn+ subscription. Another thing is you forget how much more advanced XO live is compared to Xbox360. While PSN+ in ps4 catched up on xbox360 live and expanded in few areas, XO xbox live just went another generation of online gaming ahead of psn+
LOl a sony fan site comparing psn+ to XBL...even the headers are biased. What a stupid comparison.
Waiting for Cenry to make Knack run at stable 30 fps.
Since we're at it, let's make a list of effects in these games, quality per pixel, number of characters on screen, joints in every character and polygon count. Wonder how will it work out for both consoles.
Oh and a quick question. What does look more realistic. A 720p/900p movie or 1080p Knack?
Btw, stupid flame article.
Since we're at it, let me jump in...
Amazing how many people believe in sony "gameplay" trailers after Killzone 2 fiasco ( I could also name many other games that been or downgraded massively after release or just showed target render and claimed as gameplay by S) Amazing how many people forgot about ps1 issues (the first models) where almost every single unit after a while had to lean against something in almost vertical position to read discs. Amazing how people forgot...
@iconic56
As for the games like Halo, I think we might see it implemented for multiplayer matches. So far, multiplayer in every game looks worse than campaign. We all know battlefield campaign looks miles better than multiplayer, same goes for halo series. In some games like Medal of Honor, multiplayer is actually using different engine than SP. If the cloud will live up to how MS hype it, I think we might actually see multiplayer looking better than SP, or atleast on par or ...
