Cloud Gaming May Come Soon

Gaming has come away in recent years, with the introduction of higher speciation consoles and PC's. However there is still one major hindering point, the cost. But having a system capable of running 3D Graphics in real time comparable to films such as WALL•E may not be that far away, and what's more is you will be able to run it on any internet-enabled device, be it a older PC, or even a phone.

I'd love to hear what you personally think of this news story? Do you think the company will be able to pull of what could change the industry? Or is it all hype?

Danny_N6515d ago

The company might be able to make the right tools, but I can't see broadband in America allowing for this, for a long time. Just think how long it takes to download a image, then try doing that 60 times p/s

Bolts6515d ago

Lets get cloud computing off the ground first before we even think about cloud gaming. Plus the consoles like Sony and MS are too interested in protecting their own virtual services to allow something like this to exist.

Danny_N6515d ago

I personally hate the idea of cloud gaming in any sense. I mean as soon as we have no control (which PC users have had a lot of) what happens then? Mods might never be allowed unless permitted, games would be controlled to much.

Tomdc6515d ago

what if a server gets packed with users? this could result in bad graphics and performance for everyone!

Wayward6515d ago

I guess the idea would be to make sure the cost of the servers p/m averaged at enough to be able to constantly upgrade so this problem does not happen. But yes, I could see some problems in that regard.

Danny_N6515d ago

Yeah but what happens when a company gets it wrong? Then I would lose my saves & no doubt other resources. To risk for me to like the idea.

The PSP already does this with the PS3

Wayward6515d ago

Can you provide a link to this feature that explains it more? I can't seem to find much about PSP playing games from PS3. (I can't say I play Sony consoles or handhelds)

Gorgon6515d ago

Its a pretty idea, but I don´t see how even in server based graphics rendering can you get state-of-the-art rendering for everyone. Servers don't render game worlds, physics, etc, they just manage stuff things, like in MMOS. The quantyity of processing power would be just impractical at this point, unless we're talking flash-based games.

Wayward6515d ago

You say that, but to be honest up until this point no investments have been made. I'm sure technology can quickly grow to allow this if there is funding. Impractical one day is practical the next.

Gorgon6515d ago

True, but I think that day isn´t going to be here so soon, at least for state-of-the-art graphics. You would need basically one GPU for each user. There are no GPUs capable of rendering two diferent modern games at the same time and outputing those at high resolutions. With what are going to equip those servers with? You would be basically paying for your own personal server for making something like this viable from a GPU point of view. And in that case you can just buy a PC/console and leave it at that.

zonetrooper56515d ago

Don't listen to Isaac he is just trolling.

Wayward6515d ago

Thought as much. Heh, I got excited at the idea of playing PS3 games on a PSP, would give me a reason to buy the consoles... but yeah a little to soon for that to happen :(

flexbox3606515d ago (Edited 6515d ago )

ill just stick to buying my own consoles thank you. i wont be renting any space or specification. renting something is like buying it 100 times. bad idea for gaming. real bad. and dont even think of it being free, cuz no company would offer such a service for free.

give me bubbles if u agree. i need some ^_^

Wayward6515d ago

Not really. Say for example rental cost 7.99 a month, 2 years would cost under 200, with always updating hardware. Now think how much consoles cost you?

xhairs96514d ago

$400 for 10 years with a console.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio18d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing18d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit18d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing18d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9218d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
