I don't know if that's the exact name of what I'm talking about, but can someone explain to me what that is? Can you really play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games with that on the PS4?

It'll be able to do all the stuff like extra processing and shit. On top of that, they will be streaming older Sony titles to PS4 when the service starts next year. They bought Gaikai which made a completely new and more advanced Cloud Infrastructure specifically for PS4, so it's definitely going to be great. Play games immediately, no waiting for downloads. Play demos right away and only pay for what you want. It's gonna be great.

Edited by Lord Commissar: 6/17/2013 7:14:22 PMThe PS4s cloud is reserved for Gakai, a service that streams games. Sony doesn't have the capital in their current financial situation to match what Microsoft is doing with their cloud services.

"Cloud" is this generation's "Blast Processing".

www.shacknews.com/article/79760/sony-of-course-ps4-can-do-cloud-computing Just saying that if devs want to implement it PS4 has cloud computing also. The cloud isn't this amazing thing that Microsoft is making it out to be but it's good to know that it can be done on PS4 as well.
-
it works the same way as any other cloud service. Yes, that includes the xbox "power of the cloud", regardless of all the marketing buzz words. Wikipedia cloud services and learn more.

Basically the service is that you run the game on a server and the server streams the game to you via the internet. The only thing actually required on your end is a television and a controller.

Edited by Vgnut: 6/17/2013 7:32:07 AMGaiaki is the service. So yeah the plan is to have those libraries up for streaming. We'll have to see to what extent Sony actually delivers on that.
