Streaming may very well have hit a serious set back in the US after the Federal Appeals Court in the District of Columbia just struck down the Net Neutrality regulations enforced by the FCC. Without those rules ISPs in the US can start throttling bandwidth depending on how the bandwidth is used. For example if you happen to do a lot of streaming which requires a large amount of data transfer they can throttle or block it for the simple reason that you are using too much.

Stop trolling. The PS4 does not support DLNA. Here is Sony's statement regarding DLNA:

"The PlayStation®4 does not support DLNA or media servers, which means it is not possible to view content from another device on your console. (Updated Statement: We appreciate your feedback and are exploring possibilities.)"

"There are still many ways to enjoy video and music on your PS4™. Music Unlimited is our streaming music service, that can e...

Number 1 and 3 are certainly useful to me. Number 2 not so much as I stream all of my movies from my HTPC as local content so I am waiting on a Xbox One app to allow me to browse and pull local media from my HTPC. But I can see others really liking the Blu-Ray player.

It should be mentioned that the higher quality of in game chat is also much improved by the fact that it uses Skype audio codec. The sound quality is so much better than on the 360/PS3/PS4.

WTF, glad I live in Canada with my FiberOp. Sorry to hear that to all you US gamers. Hopefully they appeal and overturn that BS.

Ah yes, the sign out Troll. Funny but what a dick, LOL.

I won't deny that the odd time I have to repeat a command but for me it isn't anywhere near as bad as a lot of trolls try to make it out to be. I can go for days without having it miss a command. Too be honest it works a lot better than I had expected. I suppose it depends on your accent too but as I understand it they are going to continue refining the software for the Kinect and continue improving it.

Some points I agree with and some I don't.

The party, messaging, and voice messaging system needs to be fixed but they have said that it is coming soon so I am not going to complain about that.

Overall though the dashboard works well for me. It definitely works best with voice commands though for which I have had zero problems.

Perhaps Karma could provide this link to Mark Reece and Spawn First seeing how it is one of Karma's favorite sites to dig up articles that troll the Xbox One and anything associated with it.

It provides a very detailed account of the early advantages that Respawn is using the Azure server infrastructure for. The main benefits being A...

It is posted there because Maria is hoping to start another flame war by drawing in PS4 fan boys.

Nintendo was included for plausible deniability.

It's Spawn First article posted by Maria. ROFL.

My console works great and is fun to play. New content is coming soon and as long as they keep that up things are great.

They have promised driver updates and better functionality and MS is the best in the game when it comes to updates.

Continue to support the architecture and things will only get even better.

I have to agree. The damn thing is so convenient to use and realistically we are only 2 months into the launch. There will be tons of updates and new features that we have never heard of or thought of.

On top of it all I really like that they are listening to the community and trying to incorporate the features that we want.

I will be getting a PS4 this coming Christmas so that I have all 3 next gen consoles but it looks like the Xbox One will take up the...

You know an article is bad when you have fans of each console agreeing that it sucks and makes no sense.

I assume that English is not the authors native tongue which is fine but come on. Was there not one person that spoke English natively that could proofread this article?

I agree completely. The fact that all of their focus has been on their concept of online multiplayer only means it is only going to be that much better.

4400d ago 2 agree1 disagreeView comment

Admittedly they screwed up the online play in Halo 4. They tried to emulate COD which was a mistake. Halo really is the game that defined online console gaming and they should have stuck closer to their roots. That does not mean that they should not evolve though. Just don't try to copy someone else's formula.

I think that there is a big universe when it comes to Halo and along with the traditional FPS they should certainly look at the MMO side of things.

I agree completely. My only bone with the WiiU at the moment is lack of games and more importantly lack of games that make good use of the WiiU controller. They need to make use of that controllers extra features and develop some new IP.

I like Mario and Zelda, etc. but they need to develop some serious new IP and get on board properly with online gaming.

Both are great consoles but I particularly got a kick out of his description of the WiiU cowering below the battle with the petrified women and children. LOL.

And before I get jumped on by the Nintendo faithful I laughed because it was funny not because I hate Nintendo. I have done my bit for Nintendo as I bought a WiiU during their launch a year ago. I love my WiiU and have a great time with it.

@VaizardNL I agree totally. I see people with 8, 9, 10 bubbles that do nothing but troll here.

I did not knock Sony's PlayStation Now but out come the trolls because I said something positive about Xbox and TitanFall. A console they will never own and a game that they will never play.

The cloud is here to stay and it will make our gaming better as technology improves. People don't seem to realize that Xbox Live and PSN is the Cloud. These new serv...

MS certainly has an advantage when it comes to server infrastructure. The drivatar in Forza works well and we will soon see what it does for TitanFall in 8 weeks. MS is also planning on launching a similar service to the one that Sony announced at the CES. Here is a link talking about streaming Halo 4 to a PC and a Lumina Windows phone:

There certainly is a market for this service but how big it is right now is the question.

Due to exorbitant data caps and poor broadband in many regions this service will be hampered for the time being.

If they want to launch this service and get a good response they will need to set strict latency and bandwidth requirements for subscribers or they could end up with a real backlash of customers receiving bad experiences.

Bandwidth and laten...

You are correct but you can't play it on a PS4 and that has many pissed off hence the continual backlash. Any hate this game is getting is "hate by association". It is exclusive to the evil MS and the fan boys will continually hate it.

What pisses the fan boys off even more than it not being on their console of choice is the fact that it could have been on their console but Sony chose not to support the game. That is a double whammy to the faithful who believ...

I am sorry but some of the political correctness/you hurt my feelings bullshit needs to go.

If you are insulted by this statement:

"“Can’t wait! Only a couple months until speculative threads like this are gone and people are actually talking about their experiences with the game.”

and any of the other ones that he made then you need to ask your mother to change your diapers, give you your bottle and put you down for your nap.
