I prefer having the content digitally on my harddrive but I definitely would not mind streaming games if that mean't better looking games and having them accessible to me virtually wherever I go.
I hate video and audio compression and don't have the bandwidth to stream blu-ray quality. (which is still low for 1080p60 RGB) Plus with an 80gb data limit per month I would have to ration my gaming. And since I live in a small town the added lag to a server is unwelcome too.
No thanks.
| Adinnieken said: To say the Xbox One doesn't stream games isn't exactly true. It does, but not quite the same way that the PS4 will. The Xbox One will stream down the game to the console. So, you'll start playing the game, and while you're playing the remainder of the game will stream down. Much like movies via Torrent. Every game you buy, retail or digital, will be available to you in the cloud. So that no matter what console you're at, yours or someone else's, you'll be able to access your game and play it. The PS4 will stream down video output of the game you're playing, sending your input up to the server. So essentially you're playing the game on remote virtual machines. It's a really cool concept, especially with older games. Microsoft's solution doesn't prevent it from offering streaming sometime in the future. And Sony's solution doesn't mean it can't offer the same features that Microsoft is offering. Thus, you have the two companies approaching the cloud and how they'll use it from two different angles. I like what both companies are doing, however I do think Microsoft's approach is taking into consideration the nature of broadband Internet in the United States. That said I'm interested in how well Sony will be able to provide backward compatibility via streaming. |
this thread isnt really about exactly what both PS4 and X1 do. they are different i understand, but the concept is rather similar. use cloud servers to play video games. my question is about wether you the consumer, are interested in this concept. does this something that seems to interest you now or would it interst you in the future.

pesonally i have a very bad internet connection, but if i did have a good one then yes, i am interested. having the ability to play video games on pretty much any device is very cool. all i need to do is sing in on any device. i just sing in, and play right away. i could also lend my friends the game by simply letting them sing into my account, and vise versa. i wouldnt have to worry about storage, or losing my game, breaking my disk or anything. i will always have the game no matter what.
Note : this is about streaming video games, not consoles. if a console war does break out trust me, i will use the report button. dont derail my thread please. |
You are mixing 2 differents things. So I will anwser about the streaming one : No.
As far the cloud processing and the potential, I'm all for it :)

Bottomline, no. I'm not interested in the OnLive/Sony model of streamed gaming.
Why own a console if you're not going to be able to use the hardware of it? You can use OnLive & Gaikai with your PC. Why have a service that undermines your device? I wasn't before and I'm still not.
Always interested in newer, cooler technology to do nifty and sometimes completely useless things.
