Bring it on!

I actually only expect this for Vita though. No way would they let the PS3 play PS4 games.

yea, with the PS4 having dedicated encoder/decoder units (judging by the leaks), it should be possible to encode and stream a video of what the PS4 is doing during any kind of activity, even during playing PS4 disc games or any other games stored on the PS4

if they use that in conjuncture with remote play you should be able to play on your PS4 from everywhere (well, provided there is a good internet connection) with a PSV

make it happen, Sony !

No, not going to happen. If it did, imagine an update rolling in just as your about to do, well, anything? Lag issues, people with no internet connection, or at least a steady one. I've sen my mate download an update really quick, then a smaller one takes forever, try streaming a hd game? Not going to happen. You'd need AT LEAST 500gb download data a month.

No way. It would alienate to many and would be suicide.

Well if that's the case then Sony is not getting my money because my internet is about as reliable as a bridge made out of peanut brittle.


.........I wish my internet was that sturdy.......:(.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Seems tough, but an achievable feat speaking optimistically.

I'm not sure they could pull off streaming of video game visuals to the VITA with any convincing quality. The PS3 might pull it off.

AND, the PS4 itself might feature an on-demand cloud gaming service.

Cloud gaming pretty much sucks for most things though, other than playing demos of single player titles that don't require rapid hand-eye coordination. But this might be just exactly what it's for.

Sorry, it's not a download-only console.
