Enable Remote Play on non-VAIO PC’s running Vista. And if you’re running Vista, for whatever reason, I feel for you. Anyway, here we go:
Jamcast created a plugin for their DLNA software that would allow users to not only stream Spotify to their PS3's, but also control the Spotify client with their PlayStation controller. Additionally, the application would give users access to top lists, play lists, friends, starred tracks and more within Spotify.
Spotify forbid the developer, Software Development Solutions Inc, from releasing the plugin. Spotify's grounds for denying the plugin was that Jamcast was "rebroadcasting" Spotify's licensed content via DLNA.
I hope Spotify comes to PS3 and 360 at some point, it's a great music program.
Currently listening to music in it <3
Do your still remember the Killzone 2 pre-rendered video that was showed at E3 2005? My jaw dropped the very first time I saw that video. To say it blew everything out of the water would be an understatement judging from the reaction it got from the media and everyone else who saw it. Now, that was barely 6 years ago and it looks like we are already heading for another generation of the console war.
Ohh yeah for sure. Hell the graphics on the new consoles might even be able to render graphics that go BEYOND the KZ2 E3 2005 video!

The Killzone 2 E3 trailer was a complete utter p*ss-take. THAT wound me right up and showed a lot of disrespect to gamers I think by essentially fooling us by remaining tight lipped for so long as to whether it was actual in-game footage or not.
Whilst I kind of sussed out that it wasn't actual gameplay, there is no denying that Sony essentially lied to us by passing off a cut-scene as real footage. Spokesman spent ages pussy-footing around the issue of whether or not it was gameplay or not. All they had to do was say no but they didn't. That was a pathetic show.
They better not repeat the same thing (like they did with the PS1 too actually).
That's why I'm in no real rush for next-gen consoles to come out. The longer it takes, the greater the technological leap will be. I mean, if the current consoles can handle BF3, a title that is a demanding on current PCs (albeit in a scaled down form)then there is no real rush.
Squeeze the life out of this gen even more (I believe there is some juice left) and then jump into the next-gen.
Give us things such as:
* Next-gen physics- proper fluid animations, independant hair, as well as structural physics
* Bigger Scale
* Vastly improved AI
* Obviously improved visuals- photorealism (for some games) and proper HD gaming (1080p+)
Then you can really blow us away.
killzone looks alot better than that here is some multiplayer gameplay I can't put it on because the computer is acting iffy.
I was actually extremely impressed with Killzone 2 and how it was actually like that trailer...
However I am no stranger to your feeling but It was a different game that did it for me.

Remember this one? I got the game and loved it. But it wasn't ^this^ awesome...
"killzone looks alot better than that here is some multiplayer gameplay I can't put it on because the computer is acting iffy."
Are you kidding me? I'm sorry but you have to have contracted chlamydia in your eye to think that Killzone 2's actual visuals are BETTER than what was shown. Seriously- just watch the two again.
"Killzone 2 delivered on that trailer."
Yeah but it seriously mislead gamers about what the actual visuals were like.
@ A-glorious dawn-
I admit that the actual visuals were brilliant but that's not the point. The way they showed that trailer and passed it off as actual visuals was pathetic. THAT is how Sony begun this generation; with deceit and bald faced lie. THAT was the moment I lost a lot of respect for Sony.
RE: Motorstorm- Yes, I forgot about that. Look at that trailer and the way they use first person perspectives as well as third person perspectives to pass it off as actual gameplay.
I'm sorry but that's complete b*llocks and if people are okay with that sort of thing then it shows how fickle they are. Its the same as what Lionhead did with Milo and Kinect- same old B.S.
Yeah its not justifiable,
Personally though I believe they have done enough as a company to earn my respect again.
Just so long as they don't do it again...
How can people say it's not justifiable, showing off the trailer like that - when they delivered and improved on that trailer's promise. Killzone 2 looked better than the E3 trailer shown off.
We're not talking about when Microsoft announced Halo 2 at E3 and it was nothing but smoke and mirrors. They put out a Killzone trailer based on what they knew they could do and then they made it a reality.
"We had researched the capabilities of the PlayStation 3 extensively. We knew what was possible, and that was the vision that was communicated to the team."
As for the next gen - the answer is no. I don't think the graphical leap between this gen and next gen is going to be that pronounced. PC's are reportedly 10 times more powerful then current gen consoles, yet we certainly don't see a 10 times improvement over games like Gears 3 or Uncharted 3, do we now? The bottleneck is the developers, their resources and the talent available to them. In the near future, you might have the power to make a game with Avatar like graphics, but who on earth could afford to?
Probably not imo. BF3 still doesn't look as good as a CG trailer/ Consoles will not be far ahead tech wise than a 580GTX
@Shikoro
I know BF3 is great but have you seen the CG cutscenes in FFXIII in full-HD? especially the "Welcome to Gran Pulse" cutscene? it will take many, many, many years before high-end PC's, let alone consoles, render such content real time. best piece of animation my eyes have ever seen BY FAR
video quality doesn't do this video any justice.
@WrtN00dle69 i doubt next gen will be able to render that in "Realtime" or pure gameplay o be short. Firstly, take alook at BF3 in PC and it looks fantastic on high end PC but dosent compare to that KZ2 trailer. Looks at the movement and real world physics on the killzone 2 trailer, it looks way more real. For example Epics samaritan demo which epic claims is the best real time graphics ever and only possible on next gen, is no way better looking than that killzone 2 trailer.
Dont expect anything like this or avatar graphics in REALTIME next gen..
Next gen will be more about smothing out wrinkles than vastly improved graphics. Frame rates ect.
No, it won't. It will absolutely be all about physically-based rendering. Why would you render your game in 60fps when you can render it in 30fps with additional details/better effects.
Wait and see. :)
I just hope they deliver on everything. the SAMARITAN video from EPIC GAMES looks hopeful though. :-)
If they do it on far more powerful hardware than the actual console (like KZ2 E3 2005) then yeah, it could blow us away....
Mind you, with crazy expectations, Samaritan tech temo or even maxed out PC BF3, it could be tricky, especially when they've struggled to turn a profit this gen, while "weaker" hardware (Wii) has been far FAR, more profitable.
Realistically... Next gen will probably still be nowhere near that tech demo from '05. The hardware will probably be close to the current 5xx series GPUs offered on todays market, with extra RAM. Hopefully the standard of console games will match the graphical fidelity of BF3 on Ultra setting from a PC. I will be interested to see what devs can do with next gen GPUs, it can only be good for everyone, console and PC gamers.
The best gaming PC a year from now will still not be able to render a game like the Killzone 2 2005 trailer. It was pure BS and it set a lot of people up for disappointment regarding the PS3.
I agree that the best the nextgen can hope for at launch, is to match the PC's Witcher 2 and BF 3 on ultra.
Uhh, The Samaritan demo showed us that it is possible to render such graphics. In fact, the demo looked better than the infamous KZ2 trailer.
GameNTrain: America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. ~Oscar Wilde.
If you haven’t figured it out, Oscar Wilde is my favorite person of humor & intellect. While his comment is mainly about us over-weight Americans, the same can be said with the world in it’s entirety….at least when we have a large population of people who think like the following:
Very well written article and I agree completely!
To the idiots that are wishing Sony's downfall due to these hackers....I assume that you don't aspire to ever owning your own successful company or even working for a successful company. Or more to the point, you wouldn't mind someone stealing info or hacking into your companies servers when you do work for/own a company.
The hackers are the ones in the wrong. We live in a society which grants us CHOICE. If you don't like the way a company operates, simple...just don't buy anything from that company and stfu. You hold more power in your pounds/dollars/insert currency than you think.
But to attack a company because of some stupid notion that it shouldn't be allowed to protect it's assets is just....retarded.
Best thing that can happen to these hackers is if someone hacks into the company they work for (if they work), which forces that company to close down, which in turn makes them redundant.
...What a poorly-written, poorly-thought-out mess. If you're going to troll for hits, next time I suggest placing "The Hacking Saga" at the front of the title: that's the only reason gullible fools like myself bother clicking the link, anyway.
I'll give this a shot. Even though I have a Vaio laptop :/
works really good for me. im using windows 7 on a netbook lol
very nice.. i might be tempted
Does this work on a non Vaio Windows 7 PC?
This is great news
