HAHA!!!:lol: When Halo 3 goes on the PC...:lol:Vyse_Legends

Hold the phone a sec, there is already a Gears of War on its way on the PC. The "other" company etc...haha

any game thats published by microsoft will never work...

they would get sued and owned

couldn't u do this before.. well maybe with lag.. cause i remember this kid at my school (she's like a mega computer nerd[No offense to anyone]) and she loaded guild wars from her computer to that school computer o_o..

only problem i saw was that she really had bad fps.. :x but interesting.. if they make it possible with no lag.. oh BAWB diggidy..
hopefully its free!

your only be able to get games not published by ms, that are made with opengl and that the publishers of whichever game gives permission... and expect it to be very exspensive so its not really that great.

Wait, can someone explain to me how this works exactly? Like, how you could get a PS3 game from a computer to a PS3, what you would need, etc...mountain_duwe

My guess is you would have to install the entire game on the HDD. Which is like 12gigs. When a game is on the PC you can set the specs. Which the PS3 might auto-set them for you. And then it might be able to run...

if it works....itll be slow as hell cause ps3 has like no ram

even YDL was running so slowly

now PS3 gamers get to experience Halo 3 and (an improved) GeOW? THis is madness!khalid_b

like iv alrdy said.. any game published by ms would not be available.

Just so you know. The likes of Halo 3, or even 2 for that matter won't work as the REQUIRE Vista. It seems pretty much all the future M$ games are Vista bound to try to boost an otherwise crappy OS. Besides, why play Halo when you can play other BETTER FPS games like Quake and Unreal franchises?

Only thing that would catch my attention (if it supports Linux) is playing C&C on my PS3.

I was trying to reply to "white45e," but it wont let me edit my message.

^I don't think that you understand how it works. It doesn't matter what the game is. The software will take input from the ps3, send it over the network to the PC running the game, the game video is captured and streamed back to the ps3. Quite simple, and they don't need permission from anybody. If you actually bothered to go to the site, you would see that it works with DX8,9,10 and OpenGL.adumar94

so what.. you really think they can just buy anygame they want and sell it and get profit ??

sorry but no thats illegal.......

i was under the impression you had to buy the game and have it on your pc...meaning you bought the licence to use that software. but maybe i read the article wrong.

Im confused, So your pc streams the games to your ps3? Just like the xbox does with music?

Does that mean you could install a decent game that can't run on your pc but the ps3 could play it anyway. My Pc can't play games like Geow is what im saying.

You still haven't even looked at their website. They are not selling games, just a way to play games over a network. The game is played on a PC.

Look, your blessed Halo is even listed as compatible.

the only way this would work is if they streamed the game from a computer that they own and you simply pay to use the service and whatever games they have available.. if its just a program then u would also need a high end computer and a ps3 so the service would be useless..

why would you need a high end computer? from my impressions it just streems the program over to your ps3.

oh well, the article was kinda interesting but not enough info.

There is more info at the official site. They explain how it works and system requirements.

well if u can just buy any pc game and install it on any pos computer and stream it to a ps3 then thats awesome but i doubt its that simple..

Not to burst your bubble, but only games made uner openGL will work in linux.trasherhead

How would a game that was made for a pc graphic system work on ps3? that doesn't make sense.callen3

PC games your able to adjust the visual setting right? so you just have to set it to run on what the ps3 offers.

guys its linux and probably cant run gears so oh well

Not to burst your bubble, but only games made uner openGL will work in linux.trasherhead

Not to burst your bubble, but the game, in this case, is not even running on the linux machine. But now, to burst your bubble, there is a little program called cedega (formerly winex) which lets you run DirectX games on linux.

*shrug* only time will tell. they say they have pc games working on the ps3. so they have more idea what going on than me or you.

Sony probably wont allow this due to the fact that people are buying pc games instead of ps3 games
