PC games on Sony PS3 using Game Streams: bad for Xbox 360

So if you got new game releases like FIFA 08 and BioShock on your PC, you may soon be able to play these PC games on your Sony PS3 thanks to “Game Streams”.
According to a new “free-to-join website” called Streammy Game, you will be able to play PC games on your PlayStation 3 via IPTV channels called Game Streams and if this happens it could revolutionise the gaming industry.
The CEO behind this venture is called Richard Faria, the members of Streammy Game will get a free plug-in that converts games into the IPTV channels and will let the gamers play remotely by sending it over a home network.
This is then received by a second PC or laptop which then plays the game, now the first thing I thought was “LAG” but they are claiming there will be none.
If this works and indeed there is no lag, I would have to agree this could not only revolutionise the gaming industry but could help the Sony PS3 win against the Xbox 360.
Q4 of 2007 will see a Linux version released that enables PC games to be played on the PlayStation 3 and it does not stop there, as they also claim the games can be played on other devices like mobile phones, media devices, set top boxes and DVD players.
This is going to be amazing.

HA ha because Unreal has always been head an shoulders above the rest.Even gears when it comes to multi.
You’re comparing games that came out in different years. It has nothing to do with the consoles buddy. When Gears 2 drops, it’s gonna look and play better than UT3. UT3 is being pushed back for the PS3 ’cause of hardware limitations. Xbox Live is fine, we have a big enough community that we don’t need to play with PC players. You don’t need HDMI to play HD games. I do have the elite and I do notice the slight difference between component and HDMI. But lets be real, how many people have their consoles connected to an HDTV?! I doubt the majority. Buddy, I have my credit card info on my Live account and I’m not the least worried about having it stolen. It’s a non-issue. As a matter of fact, their Live’s closed community provides better security than PS Network. I can’t believe you’re talking about Lair…does anyone play that?! When GTA4 and LA Noire drops, then you can talk. Because until then, all you’re doing is SPECULATING. I have the 120 gig elite because I wanted it, but I don’t NEED it. I use it for demos and TV shows and what not but I don’t need it for gaming. Truth be told, I can’t see a difference between 720P and 1080P game play and I have a 1080P Toshiba HDTV. It’s not a selling point. And you bring up hardware issues, I only know 1 friend that had the RROD and this dude had his system in the attic, sitting on carpet. Whether it’s true or not and I’m sure it is an issue, they’ve put 1 BILLION DOLLARS where their mouth is. I can’t be mad at them for that. If a game needs a hard drive to play, I’m cool cause again, I have the 120 gig but I don’t know anyone with the core model. You’re bringing up non-issues. I’m bringing up relevant info that’s affecting your system. That’s why PS3 has a small customer base and bad games. You can’t spin that, it’s a FACT.
6 million is not a small customer base. Well I guess Oblivion, Rathcet & Clank, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, The Orange Box, COD4, etc are all bad games since they are on and coming to PS3.
Unreal Tournament 3 is being pushed back so they can add more maps. Something the 360 will not have due to hardware limitations. Only PC and PS3 are the places to get a properly done Unreal 3 game. If you ant to play Gears the way it was meant to be played you have to play it on PC since it was scaled back due to 360 hardware limitations.
I would be worried about someone stealing my credit card info on live if the company that let it happen try to deny it to cover up the FACT there are holes in their network. Hasn’t happened on the PSN network so you can’t say it provides better security since XBLA has been breached and PSN has not been.
IF you have a 1080p TV you should get a PS3 that way you can enjoy true 1080p games well there are two games on 360 that are 1080p so yeah enjoy the rest being upscaled to 1080p. FACT.
Just because you know one friend with RROD doesn’t change the fact that its an issue and still an issue as the Halo edition models RROD as well. Hell I know friends with 360’s that RROD and between us its well over 80% myself included. Does that mean 80% of 360’s fail? No but they fail at a high rate so quit with the well mine hasn’t failed so its all a lie stuff.
PS3 loses games due to Microsoft buying exclusives, Bioshock, Gears, GTA 4.
360 loses games due to hardware limitations, L.A. Noire, Haze, MGS4, FFXIII.
Not to say that Sony doesn’t buy games but these games just can’t be done on the 360 as said by the devs unless they completely scaled them down.
I own a 360 and Im disappointed. I make a good paycheck so it wont hurt me to change consoles later if I have to but I feel for the 360 owners. Steaming pc games to a playstation is not important to me but at least its something different and new(if it works). I hear of other ideas like “home” and I wonder why 360 doesnt bother with coming up with something new. Also its note worthy to say my 360 over a year cost more than a ps3 would have. I love online gaming and that cost has added up. batteries for the controls add up. 2 things that cost nothing on a ps3. Im not going to go out and buy a ps3 yet, Im waiting to see how the christmas duel pans out. but with 08 lineup (games, software, and hardware) Im feeling I might have to.
Oblivion - 360 HAS IT, Ninja Gaiden Sigma - SOUPED UP VERSION OF ORIGINAL XBOX GAME, WE’RE GETTING NINJA GAIDEN 2 - TECMO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGES 360 IS A BETTER SYSTEM, The Orange Box - VALVE DIDN’T DO YOUR PORT, EA DID IT, GABE NEWELL DOESN’T EVEN LIKE THE PS3…DID IT EVEN COME OUT YET FOR YOU GUYS? COD4 - NOT OUT YET, WE’RE GETTING IT TOO. YOU GUYS MAKE ARGUMENTS LIKE WOMEN - VERY IRRATIONAL. IF YOU DON’T THINK SONY IS PAYING FOR EXCLUSIVES, YOU’RE ON COKE. MGS4 CAN EASILY BE ON THE 360..HAVE YOU SEEN IT?! I DON’T EVEN WANT TO PLAY IT. IT LOOKS CORNY. WHAT’S UP WITH THE CLOAK AND DUDE HUMPING THE FLOOR?! IT LOOKS PRETTY CORNY…BORDERLINE GAY. LA NOIRE ISN’T EVEN OUT, WHEN YOU PLAY IT, LET ME KNOW. STOP SPECULATING. IF I HAVEN’T BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING, WHY WOULD I BE AFRAID OF IT?! THAT’S IRRATIONAL! I DON’T HAVE TO LIE TO MAKE A POINT, YA’LL FANBOYS DO. WHENEVER ANYONE SPEAKS OBJECTIVELY, YOU GUYS THINK IT’S SONY BASHING BUT TRUTH OF THE MATTER, I WOULD BE DEFENSIVE MYSELF AFTER MAKING SUCH A SILLY PURCHASE. SIX MILLION PS3′S SOLD TO RETAILERS, NOT IN CUSTOMERS’ HOMES. XBOX DOESN’T HAVE TO FORCE ANYONE TO MAKE A GAME ON THEIR SYSTEM ‘CAUSE THEY SEE HOW WELL GAMES SELL ON THE CONSOLE.
@Esse
Quit with the caps and you sir are a fanboy. You may not like MGS4 but a whole bunch of other people can’t wait for it.
Microsoft buys exclusives. They can’t use the our system is the best so make it just for us excuse. A game can be to big or req

Microsoft buys exclusives. They can’t use the our system is the best so make it just for us excuse. A game can be to big or require the use of HDD for the PS3 and those limitations prevent it from coming to the 360. They already said MGS4 on 360 would have to be like 7 discs just to fit.
Gabe Newell always says things. Do you remember when Gabe said that the 360 was a load of crap? Funny you don’t remember that.
You, Esse, said the PS3 has nothing but bad games so I listed the following games that must be bad since they are on the PS3.
IF you read my last sentence I said its not that Sony doesn’t pay for exclusives but some games they get exclusive by default since they are just to big for the 360. Please remember most devs want to go multiplatform not exclusive and MS pays them for exclusive.
You’re the fanboy and I’m not even gonna refer to you by name ’cause you’re a lame. You haven’t refuted anything I’ve said with sound deduction. lol…You think by stating “you sir,” you’re going to be taken seriously?! How old are you? I’m done. I’ve spoken objectively and out of experience…not hearsay. I’m done…so you can keep on blabbering all you want. That’s what broads do.
@Esse
I have Rebutted your comments
You said Gabe hates the PS3. I said yeah I know but did you know that he said he hated the 360 before too? You still haven’t answered that. EA did the port because Valve doesn’t have the time. They are PC guys and not very good with meeting deadlines so EA did the port so it can be done quicker than Valve would have done it.
Just because you personally don’t like a game doesn’t mean other people don’t want it. You may not like MGS4 but a whole bunch of people do.
As for the Ninja Gaiden guy saying he thinks 360 is better, Thats cool. The guy that makes FFXIII thinks PS3 is better, so does the head at Activision, the devs of COD4, the devs at Rockstar, etc. Where is your response to that.
Why won’t you answer the FACT that 360 has only two 1080p native games? You have a 1080p tv so I thought you would want to take advantage of it by having games that actually maximize your tv. Well I guess since a lot of games on the 360 are below 720p even though it says on the box that they are 1080p you will have an answer for that.
Like I sadi before UT3 is being pushed back to add maps. These maps will not be on the 360 due to hardware limitations. 360 may not get USer created modes based on XBLA closed system.
You, Esse, are not objective. You hate the PS3 and it shows. I don’t hate the 360 but I know which system is more powerful. You don’t see anybody from Microsoft going on record saying the 360 is more powerful than the PS3 like Sony did for a reason.
Hey Lucky10, thanks for being original. As for some of these multi platform games looking better on the 360, this is because they were created for the 360 and ported over. This was not the case for Dirt and guess which version turned out better? Oblivion was re-built from the ground up for the PS3 version and guess which version turned out better? Prop airplanes and Turbo Jets? Ha, what a fucking retard. Nice try on that one. Funny how EA had such a hard time getting games to run on the PS3 at 60fps. They sat there and cried just like these babies about how hard it was to get this done. Then 2k calls them out saying they had no problem knockin this out. Suddenly after that EA comes out with a statement saying that all games starting with NBA Live would start running at 60fps. They got caught being lazy. As for Ratchet and Clank on the PS3, this game is the shit! Don’t hate.
Funny how these clowns turn there heads the other way everytime they see a hot title for the PS3. Esse, you think MGS4 looks corny??? Ha, HATER! You’d have to be an idiot to say something like that. That’s like me saying Halo3 looks corny. Just be honest with yourself. Thats all I ask.
