CiiNOW's Chris Donahue, a 25-year game industry veterans, argues that it is viable in the opinion piece for GamesBeat.
The Fallout 4 next-gen update is now live, bringing with it improved performance and visuals, as well as brand-new exclusive content. This new update brings the latest single-player entry in the series up to modern standards, with it also marking an official PS5 release of Fallout 4.
"The German-Austrian-based indie games publisher Toplitz Productions and indie games developer Game Island, are today super happy and excited to announce that they have just kicked-off an playtest period for their first-person survival/adventure game “Serum“ (the said playtest is live right now for PC via Steam)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Watford-based /(the UK) indie games publisher Wired Productions and Shanghai-based (China) indie games developer POLLARD STUDIO, are today very happy and excited to announce that their psychological thriller "Karma: The Dark World", is now currently in development for PC (as announced during the Wired Direct 2024 live event)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I don't really understand who this is meant for. People with slow internet connections obviously can't take advantage of this. On the other hand, people with fast internet connections such as myself don't need to use cloud since every download is blazing fast.
Useful? Absolutely. Profitable? Aye, there's the rub....
Cool article! I could sure do without so many system/game updates/downloads. It's such a pain.
He picked the worst example possible: Trying to compare cloud gaming to updating games on the PS3. Of course the PS3 is going to offer a bad experience on that front.
If your a PSN PLUS member the ps3 will update any game you've recently played. True that games you haven't played in awhile won't be updated but I prefer to sit and wait for the update rather than stream a game.
There are other problems other than latency, the biggest disadvantage is that internet connections isn't always stable. We can have the fastest connection in the world but if its not stable it means nothing.
