Forums - Gaming Discussion - Samsung Cloud Gaming Service Announced

http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=%22Samsung+will+formally+announce+a+partnership+with+Gaikai+to+introduce+a+cloud+gaming+service+for+its+high-end+televisions&d=208396773944&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&w=4aac361c,d62367a1

Archived, because i suppose it was meant to be announced at E3.

Streamed PC games over Samsung TV's, with just a software upgrade. I suspect this is why Nintendo's put so much ram just for OS into the Wii U.

 

 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

If true I guess the Gaikai deal wasn't Sony related afterall meaning if that rumour turns out true it'd be with OnLive.

Or maybe something else, I dunno.



Wait, I just remember I've got a Samsung... Sweet!



PC games on a tv? Oh what a huge mistake.

no it isn't, that's how i play most pc games as well. even battlefield online with xbox controller against mouse and keyboard players haha lol. or witcher 2 or so...sure not shogun 2 or starcraft^^

but i believe the bigger problem is the streaming lag, that's why it wouldn't make sense to play a game like battlefield over this cloud streaming system

Well...ok maybe FPS games are acceptable, but that's like 20% of the industry.

games like bastion and so on are great as well on tv...sure like i said, no rts or mmorpg's but rpg's, shooters and some indie games are acceptable on tv. we all know that a "serious" pc gamer will have a pc but it's a good thing for people who dont have a pc and need nothing more than an update fo the tv and a controller to play some games now (and a fee)

games like alan wake, bioshock, metro, dirt, sonic, witcher and so on... but who knows if you even get these games over this service.

So basically the entire xbox library will be available on tv without needing an xbox.
