My setup isn't no damn headphone in a mic jack I was always a bit reluctant to seriously game on PC but I finally caved in on the spur of the moment back in November.

Imagine friend you just put in a few hours grinding in an rpg and then your wireless connection randomly drops.

Always on furious

Xbots blindly support this filth and think not supporting it will be detrimental to sonys gaming division. To think. Less freedom is bad for business.

Its so demonic, friends.

Who is blindly supporting this? most people who have an xbox are against this

Nikkei: PS4 to utilize Gaikai, have expanded social features - Gematsu

Another PlayStation 4 report is in from Nikkei.

According to the Japanese outlet, the network function of PlayStation 4 will be expanded, including a new social feature where you can exchange opinions among your friends while playing games.

The system is said to utilize Gaikai cloud technology, which Sony purchased for $380 million in the summer of last year.

Echoing previous reports, the outlet claims the Sony developed “Cell” chip loaded onto the PlayStation 3 will not be included in PlayStation 4, and that it’ll arrive by the holidays.

PlayStation 4 is expected to be revealed during PlayStation Meeting 2013 in New York City on February 20. Its controller will supposedly have a touch pad.

It seems like every day I come online I see more news that just betters PS4. Watch in a day or two rumors come out saying PS4 comes with a built in cup holder.

Wow, you'll get to gossip about how terrible the game is
On xbox, a feature like this is not necessary because we had cross-game-chat for a decade
Eat your heart out Japan

(See you in the other, brother )

For those of you who do not fully understand what this means. The "Cell" chip is basically all that is needed to make the ps4 backwards compatible.

The PS2 had the "Emotion Engine" chip which launch ps3's came with. Sony then took that out to save $10 a console. They could of and should of at least gave you the option of buying it for that much more.. but then they couldn't keep selling ps2's now could they

So now we are entering another generation and sony is once again ready to ass rape you fakkits into buying 1080p remakes of Lair and Ratchet n Clank 3D

 

[Liquid]

damage control huh? Is this how bad the news affected you today?

 

[Dwolf]

Okay

 

[Kaydigi]

We already knew this. Too much money to be made in rereleasing the games on the next platform.

I want to know what happens to the digital games you purchased on PSN. Will you be able to access those games on your PS3 5 years from now?

 

[Batter Up]

i'm not copping a PS4 to play games from 2002 so this means nothing to me
