Sony and Microsoft to explore strategic partnership for game streaming - Truly we are in the strangest timeline.

Despite that Sony still published games on the SNES under the Sony Imagesoft banner. Play Skyblazer, it's a good game.

Mickey Mania is pretty fun too and it was David Jaffes first game.

Sony and Microsoft are both a lot bigger than their gaming divisions and this partnership is about more than just video games.

Everything I've seen relating to game streaming so far has been a shitshow. Crackdown 3 was supposed to use some cloud computing thing to calculate the physics of giant crumbling buildings, but that game just ended up delayed and quietly launched to bad reviews. Crowbcat even put up a video showing how a lot of things in that game look worse than the first one from 2007.

Yeah, it's likely just PR crap, blah blah blah, this shit's gay.

This is more or less about making a stable network for data streaming and online infrastructure. Epic would also have a stake in this too since they accepted seed money from Sony to make the epic store.

Essentially this is about how everything online works under the hood and how to make it better. There's a ton of potential stuff like having the option for a lower bandwidth download for less than optimal connections or if you're at a data cap. Basically a corporate mandated Fitgirl repack but without the bitcoin miner.

This is however extremely surprising from Sony, as they are loath to work with those filthy American pigs at Microsoft on basically everything.

Sony is a hardware company, so their software and cloud offerings have always been weak.

IMO, This is about Sony reacting to Google Stadia, you look at the competing server infrastructure, and Sony is severely lagging behind MS, not to mention Google. Apparently the PS5 team were blindsided by this agreement too.

Gaming in general will be interesting in the next 3-5 years IMO. I hope Nintendo manages to survive what are increasingly shark-infested waters.
