Is the Next PlayStation's Future in the Cloud?

(Real intro at 1:15) It's the Fourth of July which means so much to so many people. Not only is it America's birthday, but it's also The Trophy Room's as well. On this episode, hosts Joseph, and Kyle talk about the rumored Google Console, and what Google's entrance into game means for PlayStation, and Xbox. Whether or not cloud gaming could be the future of the video game industry. Funko is getting into breakfast cereal? Overwatch's new character has us in awe, Amy Hennig leaving EA, and so much more.

still waiting to see the power of the cloud on Xbox... announced for a console released 5 years ago and rumored to be replaced soon... lmao honestly there might be a case for class action of false advertisement :P

AgeInTheCage2146d ago

They have no ground breaking exclusive like Americas pastime mlb 18 the show franchise to play with friends and family on the 4th of july ONLY ON PS4, so they have to be jealous and spam nonsense articles.

Go bother pathological liar phil for some real exclusives and that cloud tek that was supposed to make all our xboxones 5x stronger without having to shell out 500.00.

I doubt it, PS doesn't seem interested in that.

Godmars2902146d ago

Aside from PS NOW which is server based? It just doesn't give access to new titles.

What is that obsession with cloud gaming? I thought we were done with it 5 years ago...

Godmars2902145d ago

It was promised to be a thing by MS, the innovators of the gaming industry.

Nevermind that they can't seem to do more than make shooters, or seem to "come up first" with things that Sony and Nintendo actually did first.

PhoenixUp2146d ago

Cloud gaming will always be an alternative not the primary method

sloth33952146d ago

they all pretty much want to do some streaming because it saves on cost when you dont need to make systems and all of that so more profit thats why they are streaming now to test it all out and work to improve it more but when it comes down to it the gamers will decide if thats what they want or not

MrSec842146d ago

That doesn't make any sense, regardless of where the game's code is processed the cost is the same when it comes to hardware.

You could have 100million users, all needing the next gen hardware and those users all pay for the tech that processes the games they play, users also pay their power costs, so none of the costs to actually run the games or hardware are being handled by you.

You just produce the consoles as demand requires it.

If you move the processing away from the user then latency suffers, you add issues that you can't control to the equation, like network reliability, be it on your end, in-between or at the users end, the latter two are basically out of your control, but it'll be your fault as a company when users are paying to use your services, while they can't even access their games when the service goes down or more commonly latency and overall experience will suck more often than work right.

There is no saving in cost by going the cloud, because you have to maintain everything.

Generally the experience will be the same using local hardware, but the cloud will be pretty unpredictable for gamers.

TheCommentator2146d ago

Cloud enhanced MP gaming is where the tech will shine first. Since MP is already online only, it's sensible for latency independent processes (things which can tolerate the lag) to be handled by the cloud servers while latency dependent functions are still handled by the local console.

Epic know this to be true which is why they bought Cloudgine.

TheCommentator2145d ago

@ disagrees

Man you guys are ignorant. Try educating yourself sometime and you would know that things like physics, lighting, and AI are tolerant of latency in gaming.

MrSec842145d ago

@TheCommentator: Actually only area lights are slow latency tasks, things that players directly interact with will unquestionably require as instant processing as possible, within the frame rate of the game, otherwise everything will look off in the game as things players interact with are rendered at different rates.

You are in fact the one who's ignorant of the facts buddy.

Eidolon2146d ago

I'll say this again. Some system has to be running the game, I want that system. Besides, with 4k HDR, there is no freaking way internet connections could handle even the data rate of a 1080p signal without major compression(1GBit/s can't even handle it, direct device communication will always look and run better.

getbacktogaming2146d ago

imagine VR in 4K with it’s need for zero latency and higher refresh/framerate :P

MrSec842146d ago

I think most people would prefer full 1920x1080 or 1440p in each eye, running at 120FPS, as this would be a a huge step up in both Image Quality and response times.
The overall experience would be much improved over the current standard.

Adding an extra link in the chain, by having to offload code to external servers would certainly screw with the experience of Sony tried using the cloud for next gen VR.
I think even current gen VR would suffer if it relied on VR.

Personally I'm hoping Sony can offer a wireless headset, no doubt a PS5 with an 8 Core 16 Thread Ryzen CPU at 3+GHz, 12+ TFlop Navi GPU and fast GDDR6 memory would be able to handle some gorgeous stuff at 120FPS in VR.
The experience would probably be sublime.

Personally I love my PSVR, it's awesome, but I'd love it more if it was wireless and even more fluid, with better image quality.

Eidolon2145d ago

Sure if the hardware is there, PS5 could offer some incredible VR experiences, if the protocols can handle it, wireless would be a huge bottleneck, though. lol

Crossplay Will Be In College Football 25 But Not In Online Dynasty Mode

EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).

So it looks like they have abandoned unreal for future iterations of the game and are sticking with ego. So that means no decent VR support on PC and none on console seeing as the ego can't handle it properly. I think I'm done with this franchise it's turned into fifa with a hefty price tag and no innovation from one year to the next. Time for someone else to have a go at this licence

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel19h ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga18h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot17h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B16h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga15h ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb11h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid18h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman18h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.
