Comments on: A ‘Save Game’ Cloud?

It’s a shame that Sony lock down the PS3 so that you can’t backup your own saves. Currently, only things like trophies and account information are retained by them on the ‘cloud’.

However even on the PC, cloud storage is very limited. Select Steam Cloud and also high profile titles like StarCraft II have cloud savegame storage. It’s also possible to hack your own savegame cloud storage using Windows Live Sync. I have been exploring this in my site: http://www.shinyhacks.com/2010/09/how-to-sync-savegames-on-cloud.html

Given Sony’s track record with this kind of thing and even the slowness of accessing and syncing trophies, I don’t see cloud saving happening in this console lifecycle.

best line ever:

I bet the moment you saw any one of those screens you almost let your undies get a little stained!

lmao.

But yeah, this is something that would reduce the number of headaches exponentially, as that loss of data is the most important of all the data you could lose (since the rest are more easily retrievable, mainly by just downloading them again)

games kinda need this period. if we gotta endure drm and always on connections… test drive unlimited needs this. every time my 360 breaks i lose my game save. I tried to rip the save from the hard drive and when reloading it on a new 360 id get a black screen when leaving my garage, unable to see anything, the game wasn’t frozen… the auto save feature updates the server so when i deleted the save and tried again it deactivated all the online features. I ended up having to delete another 100 hour game with everything completed just so I could find and cruise with my friends though the online trade system is still deactivated. I have lost nearly 3 completed saves and upwards of 300 hours total and now im treated like an exploiter because of hardware failure. im really quite pissed about it right now.

If you want to see the future look at what is happening on the PC (;
