Dude...Sony hasn't even scratched the surface on detailing the abilities of the system they've come up with on Gaikai. We do know Sony has been interested in cloud gaming for a while. They had cloud saving on Plus for a long time bro.

Doesn't change a word I said. Cloud saving is not the same as running games via the cloud, not even close. Gaikai was not amazing performance wise before Sony bought them, and Sony has shown nothing to lead us to believe they have drastically improved. Saying the PS4 can run the same cloud powered features as Xbone just because of Gaikai is just FUD until Gaikai shows us they have stepped their game up.

I mean.. you said that since Sony bought Gaikai, that means PS4 can handle Titanfall just like Xbone. There's no guarantee that just because Sony has Gaikai that it means they have the same amount of servers, the same performance on those servers, the same price to use those servers, etc etc. Not all clouds are built the same. It would be like me saying hey Naughty Dog got Last of Us looking pretty amazing on PS3, that means MS can have Rareware make it look just as good on Xbox 360.

Dude...Gaikai might not be amazing to you as it was, but it with Sonys investments it will become more than it was. The only thing they've told us about Gaikai was in the beginning so far for the instant gaming, quicker downloads, game sharing process and the better servers at the PS4 unveiling. They said they will be talking more about Gaikai later on. Gaikai is being used to enhance the gaming process and the OS Sony is using. They will not go overboard like MS was. Sometimes restraint is a good thing and as you can see with MS lack of restraint gets you into trouble. The DRM issue was probably one of the worst backlashes in gaming history and right behind it is  RROD and then Sonys Internet hackings.

What investments? When did Sony say anything about quicker downloads or better servers? Link please, I am genuinely curious. DRM is entirely irrelevant here. And I'll take "going overboard" and letting us know what is coming over pure silence and promises which lead to speculation as you are doing regarding what Gaikai may or may not eventually maybe someday might become.

Gaikai was a better looking OnLive with bad latency. We'll see if its anything better for PS4.
