hmmm I don't know about this...we gamers...I mean real gamers probably wouldn't think to highly of this...so I don't see it going anywhere...I guess it would depend on what they classify as "high quality" such a vague word it could really go anywhere.

fluffydelusions4537d ago (Edited 4537d ago )

They already have some companies working on games for it like Square Enix...We'll see I guess though.

NYC_Gamer4537d ago

i'll play a game on google long as it's a quality title....

Army_of_Darkness4537d ago

Lmao! I highly doubt it... Maybe games like body count, modern combat or those F1 racing games I could see on there...

fluffydelusions4537d ago

@Army_of_Darkness

Well if Google wants some high quality game(s) they sure have the finances to back it...

Stapler4537d ago

Native-client basicly enables C++ games to be run in the browser.

There's already Bastion which I would say is pretty high quality. https://chrome.google.com/w...

Ugh... isn't this a security problem?

I remember that is the reason we don't have a 3D browser plugin, because patching security holes lies with the 3D graphics card vendor.

Bleucrunch4537d ago

I assume this is free because I am not paying for no Browser games...they can go head with that!

This is embarrassing for Sony/MS...

We now have OnLive putting console games on phones, and tablets.

Announce Next-Gen already.

During last gen the mantra was "once PC can emulate" (current console games)....

Now we have PHONES! doing it, and no word on Next-Gen

Com'ON!

CynicalVision4537d ago

How is it embarrassing exactly? Onlive has no exclusives that can match what's available on the PS3 and the 360. Onlive is a decent enough service, but embarrassing for Sony/Microsoft? Hardly.

kevnb4537d ago

im not very impressed with what sony and microsoft put out. Its mostly all hype and marketing.

BattleTorn4537d ago

ok. fine. Embarrassing is a bit of an exaggeration.

(I just really want to send them hundreds of my dollars for new hardware)

Army_of_Darkness4537d ago

glad I stuck with consoles, preferably ps3 and dang, I'm surprised how so many dudes over 25 years game on them as well:D
Its practically a toy for adults.

piroh4537d ago

Onlive is more like PCs, no eclusives just a bunch of multiplats in poor quality

fluffydelusions4537d ago

PC has no exclusives...WTF?? Here's some big recent ones I'm sure you have heard of...

Starcraft 2 (All 3 versions)
SWTOR
WoW
Guild Wars 2
Diablo 3 (Still PC only as of now)

Just to name some...

The majority of Microsoft's and Sony's software profits, stems from third party software (Call of Duty, Batman:AA, Skyrim, Battlefield,etc.). Their 1st/2nd party software IP's sell great, but the bulk of their software profits comes from third party software. Sooner or later, consoles will be phased out of the gaming equation.

Hicken4535d ago

The bulk of their software SALES may come from 3rd party games, but profits? What do they make more money off a copy of? Call of Duty, or Uncharted?

Bleucrunch4537d ago

OnLive...(scoffs) Please man call me when you are speaking about something that is worth mentioning....OnLive...wasn 9;t that....ahh never mind its not important! LOL

i want better than console quality.

meetajhu4537d ago

Its not browser rendering the graphics. its a separate app running and uses the browser's display as extension to display the app. Still Chrome is not upto the standard to run natively within the browser like this

GraveLord4537d ago

As long as the games are free this is a good idea.
I don't think anyone would purchase games from Chrome.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast17h ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk4h ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast4h ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk3h ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac7h ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk4h ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
