February 21, 201313 yr comment_71701 I liked most of what I saw, problem was it was almost nothing. Every stream I.could find either went down or would stutter to the point it was unwatchable. Report
February 21, 201313 yr Author comment_71703 Most of what I saw, other platforms are already doing. I'll say it once again -- there's no real technical innovation spurring on these new consoles. They're just making them more like PC's. Why not just save yourself a buttload of money and get a gaming PC? Touchpad controller / WiiUSpectate friends playing / OnLiveEvery other thing they mentioned / PC Pretty fail, too, that they chose Ustream to partner with. All gamers want to stream to Twitch. It caters to gaming only. Report
February 21, 201313 yr comment_71716 I'm a console gamer through and through. Have been since my first system in '82 and I will be a console gamer forever. It's what I prefer. Wii U is a great system and I have a helluva lot of fun with it. Current gen systems are a helluva lot of fun. Handhelds are fun. PS4 and 720 or whatever will be as well. No gaming is better than another as long as you're having fun, be it PC, handheld, or consoles. No need to down talk one or the other. On topic, I was impressed with what I saw. Even if it was just tech demos (Save for Watch Dogs). I don't care if they didn't show the system itself, I don't buy systems for the way they look. I buy them for the games they play. The launch lineup and game play will determine not IF, but WHEN I'll buy a PS4. Report
February 21, 201313 yr comment_71720 I doubt I'll get one since I'm quite happy with my PC, but it was a lot better than I thought it would be. The most interesting thing to me was the cloud based backwards compatibility, if they can have a netflix like service of 10 bucks a month or something like that to stream almost any PS1,2, and 3 game then I'm sold.Also the Driveclub guy probably needed to get a room after that demo...and the Suckerpunch guy was INTENSE.

February 21, 201313 yr Author comment_71725 A game platform better be fun or there's no point in making them. I loved the part before the Watchdogs setup, that was explaining real life privacy scenarios, and how there's x amount of CCTV's in England right now. They were playing up the Big Brother angle. Nevermind that they just talked about how linked you'll be to all your friends, and how your friends can watch you play your game and even offer help if you needed it. It was perfect. I'll say some negative things about the Xbox event, too, I'm sure. I started off on console, liked it for awhile and then realized gaming was less expensive and more open on the PC. *edit* And I agree with Pan. This event was better than the last two E3's. That includes the creepy presenters. Report

February 21, 201313 yr Author comment_71740 I think you'll need to digitally subscribe/pay to stream the older titles to the PS4. Report
February 22, 201313 yr Author comment_71779 Haha touche. Pretty great that the video was made last year. Report
February 22, 201313 yr comment_71782 I like the idea of being able to stream from the ps4, i've wanted to help with that end for a while, but dont have the setup for it. I hope its not only on ustream, everyone streaming from a ps4 on one service is never a good idea. Report
