umm ps now is to play ps3,2,1 games on ps4(and other stuff)

Microsofts cloud is to provide compute power to xbox one native games, which means if games require cloud even for their single player (ala sunset overdrive) then it is always online


for now...

Its the first step after all.

wise up.

 


Well ps4's lead system architect is critical of cloud for processing:

but once they do/if they do, we will be equally critical of them.
But they're not...
And they also originally didn't intend to have an always online situation.

They also orignally didn't intend to charge for multiplayer.


For PS4 they did. It was snuck in, but definitely not hidden at the february launch event.
I mean, it's not like they could charge for online midway into the ps3's life cycle.
Anyone who thought PS Plus wouldn't be the xbl gold equivelant is really.. well.... stupid.

We are criticising the new gen. With every gen there are new policies and features.
From day 1, all of sony's policy's have been met.

From day 1, all of microsoft's policy's havent been met. Some have been changed, binned, kept or delayed.
The one in question is always online.
