PlayStation Meeting Feb. 20: See the future

Re: PlayStation Meeting Feb. 20: See the future

My concern is a small epidemic common to the big three at the last E3, especially where Sony and MS were concerned.

Nintendo also peddled Wii U as a media center, but didn't pimp the media partnerships quite as heavily as MS and Sony did. Sony was kind of the middle ground and MS went overboard on it, almost taking up 20 minutes of the presentation with it. I think both Sony and MS are a looking at their "home media center" dreams at getting sp drunk on the idea that they think they can sell gaming more as a service - which is the very last thing gamers want right now.

While we should take all rumors with a grain of salt - this Gaikai/Playstation Cloud thing is most likely the real deal. Anyone aware of the internet situation in America, the increasing gaps in service and price, along with latency issues, should know why cloud gaming is a problem. Gabe Newell explained it really well in his DICE 2013 keynote.

This isn't just about the PS3 games, either, it could be used to push PS4 PS Plus "free" games and that would be awful, too.

There are even rumors Sony may phase out PS Plus to adopt a more XBLA-like model because, like it or not, it has worked for MS and I seriously wouldn't put it past Sony the corporation to tell Sony the games division to do it. Sony the corporation doesn't always have the game's division's best interests at heart.

Bill Moyers had a very good special on it 2 weeks ago, I'll post the link later.

The situation isn't much better here in Canada. We can get some pretty fast internet, but you really got pony up the cash and we STILL get arbitrary bandwidth caps. What's really shocking is the control of content. One of the examples Bill's guest cited was about football in Kansas and how Comcast has control over that content online (ESPN or something I think not sure what exactly but it was NFL content) and that because they control the distribution, anyone paying for Google's service has to pay 2~3x as much for access to that content, or some nonsense like that. The media control and concentration of that control is seriously getting out of hand but that's another topic altogether.


Game Trailers will be live streaming the event in 1:15:00

Re: PlayStation Meeting Feb. 20: See the future

Ok... maybe killzone.

BBQ, you have to go to ustream's App through your iphone and download it.

Once downloaded, use the search function and simply type in "Playstation". Follow the link to the English version. The direct link is borked but the roundabout one works fine.
