Rumor: Sony To Announce Cloud Gaming Deal At E3

Posted on Thursday, May 24 @ 10:47:32 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Sony may be planning to cause quite a stir at this year's E3 with a major cloud-centric announcement if a recent report from VG247 proves to be true. According to the rumor, the company will be announcing a cloud-based gaming deal with either OnLive or Gaikai that will enable PlayStation users to play streamed games on their console. The rumor however didn't say whether it would be featured in the PS3, the PS Vita, or both.

Don't forget that Sony did open its arms to Steam just last year, so support for something like OnLive certainly doesn't seem out of the question. Obviously, Sony hasn't said anything on the matter, so we'll have to take this report with a grain of salt.

While the concept is quite impressive, services like OnLive haven't gained enough traction to make streaming a truly viable avenue to satisfy all one's gaming needs. Could integration with the PlayStation platform give cloud-based gaming the surge in popularity it so desperately needs? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

    I have a feeling it's Gaikai. Mainly because I suddenly was requested to visit them at E3. I have a feeling they're demoing the tech on the PS3.

    ....yeah, I'm not excited about this at all.

    We aren't going to own anything we "purchase" in a few years.
    and what if the service shuts down?

    Now, I might be looking at this wrong, but on gaikai.com it shows PS3 as a platform for games like Orcs Must Die and Splinter Cell Conviction...last I checked, neither one of these have yet been available on PS3. Maybe it'll only have the rights to certain games...regardless, it'd still be cool if this announcement turned out to be true. Speculation will have to do for now, I suppose.
