Wow, the first page seriously nailed it right on the top of the head.

This is what I have been saying for a good number of years now. Ever since Netflix started streaming movies. Why can't games have the same service?

Lets hope that somewhere down the line in this new generation we see this type of service.

Maninja3947d ago

Sony has Gaikai, which will eventually stream every PS3, PS2, and PS1 title. It will launch at the beginning of next year with the PS3 titles

maniacmayhem3947d ago

I was more referring to the game rental type od service. But yes the whole Gaikai is a good start.

Fez3947d ago

Pretty glad they gave a mention to cross console multiplayer. It would mean you could play with your friends on a lot of games regardless of what console you have.

Definitely my most wanted feature!

ThanatosDMC3947d ago

How the heck would PSN people add Live people on their friend's list?

If everybody wanted this, they'd just stick to a universal platform... the PC.

Fez3947d ago

Hmm, that's true there'd have to be some cooperation between Sony and MS. Would be a massive selling point for me if they worked something out... not gonna happen though.

TheUndertaker853947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

Why would you have to add them as a friend? Wouldn't it be much easier for devs to allow more options for invite? IE if they're on the same system simple invite like now. If not add an option in game to enter the username for person on (insert platform name here)?

Not saying I like the idea either way as some experiences would be fine with cross play, example being Portal 2. Could you imagine a CoD with that cross play though? I'm sure the wars would start there and frankly, I'd stay away from a lot of third party games at that point for that simple fact.

"You play on (insert console name here)? Hur hur hur."

ABizzel13947d ago

I don't think it's a matter of adding people to your friends list, but more to do with allowing gamers from all consoles to play on the same server if possible.

PC, PS4, X1, and Wii U players all in the same multiplat games would be a great boon for gaming, and there could even be vs. competitions.

TheUndertaker853947d ago

The first two are already being talked about, just not for launch. The third could happen without the need for an accessory, just reverse Remote Play. The forth flat out shouldn't happen because of the wars it'd open up. The fifth is asking for more controllers on one system but what for? PS3 technically supports up to seven controllers at once but don't think anything ever allowed that many. If you're looking for huge groups like that anyway just get a second console and either LAN/Online play together.

kma2k3947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

For the record i rent all my games. Gamefly i have used for the last 3 years & have played 207 games this gen costs me $25 per month. Games cost me around $5.50 per game.

maniacmayhem3947d ago

Amen, I also preach the word of Gamefly.

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth792d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo792d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy792d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad792d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX792d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam792d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje792d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad791d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude792d ago (Edited 792d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891753d ago (Edited 1753d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1754d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1753d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1753d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1753d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
