Carry on........
The gadget show peeved me off with subtle jibes of PS4 being cheeky.
Yeah, thing that annoyed me was they said that the PS4 was "Just" as powerful as the XBone when in reality it is more powerful.
I think gaikai should be looked at from arms length. I just can't see a game functioning properly with added latency from streaming.

Forget PS4/Xbone, I'll have her on the front instead

XCOM: Enemy Unknown?
Valkyria Chronicles?
Civilisation?
all might be possibilities if your reactions are that bad. Hth.
I think gaikai should be looked at from arms length. I just can't see a game functioning properly with added latency from streaming. I'm sure it will be playable but I personally am not looking forward to a delayed reaction in every game I play that way. I'm just envisioning enemy ai killing me after I've ducked behind a wall cod lag style.
In theory it's a lot easier to handle latency when the whole game is being played on the server and the (compressed) video being streamed back to you rather than the "cloud" scenario where the game is being played on the client (console) with some tasks offloaded to the server.
I understand that, but excusing lag because everything lags isn't really much of an argument. Sure, turn based games will be perfect but everything else that requires real time player actions will still fall victim to the 25ms+ lag of the Internet, combine that with another 25ms+ return time and you start accumulating significant delay. And to the poor souls who aren't going to live next door to a gaikai server and it only makes the delay larger. Just not seeing how Sony can overcome this with the current Internet infrastructure without putting a gaikai server in every city.
