Bahhh ... Will Ps4 include this as well ?
Look forward to playing Person 5 on PS4
Is a PC app out of the question I wonder ?
Yep. PS4, PS3, Vita, TV's, Tablets, smartphones.

You're probably right but I think if I bought God of War 3 (a Sony game) then I should be able to play that for "free" on a Sony service.
Only thing I need. Probably the only thing we won't get.
If this comes for PC, I won't need to buy a piece of Sony hardware again.
Should be using Heavenly Sword to demo the tech.

The amount of bashing is fuckin disgusting!
What's the point of all this shit trying to prove it's not gonna work?? You geniuses did the same with Vita Remote play and guess what? It works pretty fine for most people! Not perfect but it's totally fine, and what's perfect in the first place?

Doesn't it more accurately demonstrate how many frames of lag there are? Even in full speed it's evident.

WiiU streams an 854*480 picture locally with dedicated hardware and picture quality is utter shit even on the small gamepad screen, how can this thing work acceptably over the net?
Correct speed
Meh. Not interested in laggy streamed games tbh.
Looks better than I expected. But yeah, servers are nearby. Might be clunky at first, but will be interesting to see how responsive it becomes over the next 5+ years.
edit: also if it runs close to how remote play is, it would be acceptable for me. Remote play worked out better than I thought it would.
People need to click on this link, that GIF is misleading to say the least. Still lag though, but like people say, this isn't going to change the laws of physics. It's a decent tech now for some occasions (based on my experiences with OnLive) and the number of use cases will only rise as Internet tech improves.
Having a discussion about the flaws of a service is "disgusting?" You're acting like the people here have a personal vendetta against Sony.

Actually any service other than the one you originally bought the game for (playing on a physical PS3 console) shouldn't be "free" by Sony. It's an additional service you can pay a "convenience" fee to play older games. Now if Sony bricks all current PS3's to make you get this service to play older games then Sony would be required to compensate you somehow.

This is amazing, but I'd like the PSP library as well. Love that systems library and would like them playable on my phone.

What I know as a discussion involves both bros and cons not just trying to undermine the whole thing before anybody here has the chance to put his hands on the damn thing!

Tablets over PCs? What in the world Sony?
I suppose an android tablet with a gamepad would work as an alternative
No doubt Sony will release their own streaming box later down the road, cheap next gen gaming.

Yea.....glad someone bought that up. Its like trying to remote play with my Vita on my PS3 out in the streets on Internet vs doing it in my home on Local. Even using my smartphone....I use an app fall Wifi Analyzer to help select the more open router channel in my apt. Too many times ppl are using the same channel....that might even cause issues.
With streaming gaming, a decent, above average, great router may be needed. Those that use Ethernet...might not even matter. Found out a few years ago I had to get a new wifi router when I kept losing signal in another room.
Dont some TV's have a Game Mode to address game lag? Might need to actually use it for streaming games.
One post of a beta service demo...and ppl are already dismissing it. Welcome to the Internet I guess...
From what I see, there people talking about both pros and cons here.

Way to ruin Gaikai Sony.
If I buy a DVD from Tesco I can't stream it on BlinkBox.
Streaming costs money, especially streaming games, as OnLive found out.
Personally, as someone who'd like to subscribe to this, I hope they don't offer free play too much as those server costs will have to be clawed back by paying subscribers.
You won't be able to make up the difference so easily lol.
For a lot of us this isn't the first time seeing a game steaming service, there is good reason to be cynical.
Latency is latency and there isn't a great deal you can do about it over the internet unless you live next-door to the server.
Yeah this is pretty much onlive's problem too. It's fine for some games but something like a racing game will be unplayable. Just gotta hope cable/telecom companies pick up the pace which may be a few years off.

Not to be a shitte, but I REALLY wish VITA had more buttons!
Is there any reason why the sticks weren't made pressable? I can understand the trouble of jamming L2 and R2 on the device, but it just seems bizarre to leave out L3 and R3, especially with how important they are to FPS games, and how Sony likely intended to use VITA for PS3/PS4 games.

More importantly video skipping can be avoided with a large enough cache and bandwidth that can be dependent on to match or even exceed the speed at which the video's played. There's a lot of luxuries passive media gets that simply don't apply to something active like games, and it's probably the biggest reason going all streaming is more of a pipedream for games than it is movies, TV, or music. Nevermind that there's always going to be serious enough fans that want to OWN something as each of those have shown, especially TV given that was effectively "streaming only" for decades.
Easier to break on a portable device I assume, and replacing that's a lot costlier than replacing a stand alone controller.

I know it's still US only, but something like that would NEVER work here in Brazil. Although much better than 5 years before, internet quality here is comparable to some African countries.
Still good to see Sony trying to push it, though.

you're basically also describing a good quarter of the US.
some rural areas are still stuck on dial up.
Oh, unexpected, :_(.

PS2/3 games on Vita is all the sales pitch I need. Fuck the US Sony, clearly the UK loves you more

But what about all the people that bought all the PS1 and PS2 and their PS3 collections? Will there be a way they can play for free after checking to see they were purchased on that account??
Wait !, they aren't planning to release this in Japan, I thought that was the whole point of the tablets/phones. :S

Nope, perhaps a discount though.

Not actually that important
Majority will lap it up anyway. I mean even on GAF most people will hail PS4 > Vita's remote play as the second coming and will swear by Resogun streamed at 30fps with painfully noticeable input's lag.
We're fucking dinosaurs man

Wow this is absolutely incredible. I had really given up on hand held gaming but this may just justify a Vita purchase. Curious to see how robust the games library will be.
That sucks. That's one of the main reasons why I bought GTA 5 from the PS Store.
So less lag that remote play? And RP is entirely playable. So sounds fine.
CheapyD, who lives in Tokyo, has a ping time of 3ms. And no that is not missing a digit.
It's not about being perfect but about being much worse compared to what we are used to. Not everyone of is happy to compromise the gaming experience. Instead of getting great new stuff and innovative gaming technology we get shit to play old games in a worse condition. Greatness awaits.
fatter pipes can certainly improve the image quality, but at its core, the latency is a question of physics.
Gabe has to go down on Sony first. Then Sony will let the master race have their fun. So get Gaben/Valve to release HL3 exclusive on PS4 then Sony will talk.

Game streaming is not innovative gaming technology, got it.
