we believe in a great future for cloud gaming based on file streaming . the solution is to reduce distribution costs and increase user experience — not only by offering instant playability but also by reducing the number of steps to start playing . we have many examples where the conversion from registration to play has gone up by more than 30 % .
furthermore , snoost automatically optimises your experience based on which monitor and device you are using ( laptop , desktop etc . ) , resulting in the lowest possible latency and smooth gaming experience .
solutions for online games follow a common pattern : clients talk to a frontend of services and game servers , which communicate to a backend of analytics and state storage . you can run each of these components on - premises , in the cloud , or some a mixture of the two . for more in - depth patterns , see gaming solutions .
gaminganywhere aims to provide an open platform for researchers to develop and study real - time multimedia streaming applications in the cloud . the design objectives of gaminganywhere include :

gaikai ceo david perry announced the launch of his company ' s cloud - gaming service on friday . designed as a platform to allow game publishers and others to embed streaming gameplay trials on their web sites , gaikai has been in development since 2008 . gaikai investors include intel and limelight networks , and the service counts electronic arts among its game publisher partners .
for kalydo , the most important aspect is our statistics and analytics that provide us with information about where gamers leave during the gaming process . our stats show that streaming games is a great improvement .
in my opinion , mr . perry ' s idea about cloud computing is the next step in future technology and a giant leap towards the future of quantum computing .
i think a hybrid model with some of the content residing in the cloud and some on the local client is more likely ( similar to the steam project ) .
eve online sets itself apart by being the most successful space - based cloud game , as well as one of the first with a fully player - driven economy .

icloudaccess : cost - effective streaming of video games from the cloud with low latency ,
one of the key differences between playkey and failed cloud gaming competitors of the past , is their optimized server runtime ( thus lowering operating costs ) . playkey can run different 20 game sessions ( or users ) , simultaneously on the same server with multiplayer support . monitoring tools are also available , allowing you to see packets lost , game fps , resolution and more .
the cloud would appeal to the
hard core gamer
who wants the ability to pick up where they left off in a game , no matter where they were .
it makes sense for game manufacturers today ( especially of the mmorpg genres ) to migrate their server infrastructure to a private cloud because of the dynamism and scalability it offers .
one ' s local hardware , software , and data have specific advantages for tasks such as video editing , private info , and data availability when the cloud connection is down .
kani said the rebranded geforce now is the culmination of five years of work , which included adding video encoding to gpus and developing cloud infrastructure . that work , as well as better bandwidth , means you could play a game like batman : arkham knight , which takes 213 minutes to download , in a matter of seconds or minutes via the cloud .
sony releases the playstation 4 with an emphasis on social game - play using a new share button and second - screen gaming with smartphone connectivity . the ps4 is the top - selling console for much of 2014 .
in a sense , cloud computing is the lazy way of managing your assets , by offloading them all to a well respected company who promises low rates of downtime and high accessibility .
when processor - intensive graphic rendering is done in the cloud and streamed to a home computer , gamers could play the latest and greatest games whether they had a powerful machine or not .
have you ever wondered where the incredible cloud games we play today began ? let’s take a look at their history , which will actually go back much farther than most people might think .
] propose an auction - based mechanism for dynamic provision and allocation of vms to maximize the provider ' s profit and improves the total utilization of cloud resources . lin et al . [
i have been involved in the development of a cloud computing solution , and most of the complaints we got regarding user experience was almost always because of speed and reliability issues with our network .
illustrates the system architecture of the cloud gaming platform , which consists of s physical servers , p gamers , and a broker . each physical server hosts several vms , while every vm runs a game and a game server ( gs ) . several physical servers are mounted on a rack , and multiple racks are connected to an aggregation switch . the aggregation switches are then connected to the internet via a core switch . physical servers are distributed in several data centers at diverse locations . the gamers run game clients on desktops , laptops , mobile devices , and set - top boxes to access cloud games via the internet .
the launch of apple ' s app store opens up many opportunities in mobile gaming for both developers and consumers . the next year , mobile , social games like angry birds for the iphone and farmville for facebook burst onto the scene .
dave perry , the man behind games such as enter the matrix and earthworm jim , told click that he believes in the distant future all video games will be fully online and cloud - based .
in the early 2000s , a typical suite of platform services would run as a monolithic service , frequently implemented as a singleton . even when federated , this pattern is not recommended for cloud deployments .
the games market will continue to be dominated by the pc and the console for many years , with the cloud being a complementary service to this model rather than a replacement . kenny lang , larbert , uk
it’s not yet a given , but the dominant trend is clearly towards an expansion of this model . as with other new uses for the cloud , this trend has largely been spearheaded by the general public .
gaminganywhere is an open - source clouding gaming platform . in addition to its openness , we design gaminganywhere for high extensibility , portability , and reconfigurability . gaminganywhere currently supports windows and linux , and can be ported to other os ' s including os x and android . table
sure , tetris debuted way back in the 80s , but its advanced age hasn ' t stopped the title from adapting to nearly every gaming platformed invented since then . in 2013 , tetris becomes the best - selling game on mobile with more than 100 million copies sold .
while it is critical for optimizing user experience , real - time communications is not always a priority for operators . and yet , future business models will need to incorporate real - time communications on the technical level in order for it to become the standard for online gaming .
our extensive trace - driven simulations indicate that : ( i ) our efficient algorithms result in close - to - optimal performance , as small as 0 % and 10 % gaps , ( ii ) the efficient algorithms scale to large cloud gaming services with twenty thousands of servers and more than forty thousands gamers , and ( iii ) the efficient algorithms outperform a state - of - the - art algorithm by large , e . g . , up to 3 . 5 times of net profit increase ( sec .
when you turn off your cloud rig , snoost automatically makes sure to backup all of your gamedata ( including savegames , config files etc . ) , so you won ' t have to install them again the next time you logon .
from the laboratory to arcades and , later , onto shelves and into the cloud , video games have rapidly and radically evolved in the past half century . here’s a peek back at how it all happened and a glimpse of what’s to come .
the 8 - bit gaming console nintendo entertainment system ( nes ) is unfurled for american consumers at ces . nes is a breath of fresh air in the states . it has better graphics , faster gameplay and more audible and developed sound than its predecessors . nes soon becomes the best - selling system .
competing with the new apple tv , nvidia hopes to position the shield as the ultimate android tv alternative and the netflix of gaming . and the geforce now service — which streams high - end games to your living room without the need for an advance download — is one of the linchpins of nvidia’s strategy .

these components can be hosted on a variety of environments : on - premises , private or public cloud , or even a fully managed solution . as long as the system meets your latency requirements for communication between the components and end users , any of these can work .
] also propose an online control algorithm to quickly serve users in the waiting queue . compared to their work , we optimize the gaming qoe after a user is admitted in the system ; such qoe maximization is arguably more important , as gamers typically can only tolerate a few minutes of waiting time , but each game session may last for hours .
administration —scaling a running relational database and updating its schema are both complex operations . automatically managed relational databases are common services of cloud platforms , but the adoption rate of automatically managed databases for game backends is currently low . this is because of the write - heavy workloads of game backends .
two solutions are available to run these kinds of games from the cloud : sending graphic commands ( which use fewer network resources ) to a fat client that will then render the graphics , or running the games on a high - performance server that encodes the display and provides video streaming to thin clients .
cloud video games , also known in this capacity as online games or mmos ( massively multiplayer online ) have been steadily progressing in power and appeal since they first arrived in the 1970s . what was once solely a text - based experience , has grown into one sporting untold virtual worlds in many different genres .
with geforce now , nvidia processes a game in the cloud , or internet - connected data centers . it then streams the game imagery to the shield , which displays it on a tv . by contrast , consoles and pcs process a game on local hardware , and the games are limited by the power of that particular hardware .

playkey’s business is based around its servers located in amsterdam , london and frankfurt , while being headquartered in russia . during tuesday’s startup alley , i spoke with vadim andreev , playkey’s vp of gaming strategy , about the specs and the requirements of using the service at its best settings : “users can use their own steam library with our service , buy the game from steam directly , or purchase the key and subscription from us . ”
the term dedicated can be misleading for today ' s backend game servers . in its original context , dedicated referred to game servers that ran on dedicated hardware in a 1 : 1 ratio . today , most game publishers manage multiple game - server processes running concurrently on a machine . despite the fact that these processes now rarely have entire machines dedicated to them , the term dedicated game server is still in frequent use in the gaming industry .
the last half - decade has seen many developers adopting the microservices approach championed by fast - scaling web companies . many of the fundamental challenges of platform services and web applications are the same , such as enabling fast development cycles and running highly distributed services all over the world . microservices can help address these problems and are an excellent choice when designing applications to run on cloud platforms .
in the short term , it’s hard to see how we will manage to load our smartphones and tablets with the equivalent of the latest resource - intensive graphics cards that often cost more than a pc . for the foreseeable future , hard gamers aiming to have fun with their millimeter - thin tablets will have to compromise , though some of the newest tablet technology is nothing short of astounding : take the developments based on the unreal engine 3 gaming engine , for example .
scaling —traditional relational databases focus on a scale - up ( vertical scaling ) approach . when planning a cloud - native game backend , however , it is strongly recommended to use a scale - out ( horizontal scaling ) approach instead , as the number of cores that can be present in a single vm will always be limited , while adding additional vms to your cloud project is quite simple . relational databases have patterns for horizontal scaling such as sharding , clustering , and tiered replicas , but they can be difficult to add to a running database without downtime . if there is any chance that your traffic or data will outgrow a single database , start with a small cluster . you don ' t want to have to learn how to scale your database when the crisis hits . adding nodes to a cluster while it’s running isn ' t without challenges , but it is possible .
you start off by signing - up , paying $ 20 for the hd subscription ( for example ) , then purchase your game key from steam or playkey directly ( or just logging in with your own steam id and library ) . a virtualized window will appear on - screen , where playkey initializes the launcher and the game begins to run in fullscreen . also , if you’re worried about game saves : cloud sync is supported and still tied to your steam account , including social and screenshot features .

the central idea behind it is for users , be they people or companies , to put information and programs into giant data centres that they access via the web .
in countries with lower broadband speeds , mr perry said that the servers would be used to enhance the user ' s experience .
we looking at the processor and the internet connection and scaling everything according to their set up , so they can get the highest quality game experience based on their hardware ,
he said .
but i think it ' ll be several years till we see millions of users accessing high - end virtual machines to play their favourite games at a reasonable price . varun abhiram , hyderabad , andhra pradesh , india
it ' s the same idea when neil armstrong first said about man reaching the moon . i like the idea that the cpu i have for my computer at home would no longer need servicing from me .
and it no longer needs expensive hardware upgrades since the cpu itself is on a central station where groups of specialists already do the upgrades and fixing for me .
i also agree about the idea of renting the software rather than paying the whole of it since latest version of software arrives too often .
it ' s a form of being economical when you pay only half the price of the computer goodies you buy . krizner casicas , manila , philippines
only having an always - on ultra - high bandwidth environment with uncapped bandwidth and legally enforced data availability can make computing a substitute for local computing . otherwise they will have to co - exist . walid el - damouny , beirut , lebanon
an excellent idea and something i would definitely be interested in trying out . with the spread of broadband worldwide this is becoming more and more possible .
if round trip times to these servers can be kept low enough , this will instantly negate the need for things like anti - piracy measures and bandwidth consuming updates and patches . chifundo banda , johannesburg , south africa
i doubt the games console and pc hardware manufacturers will be rushing to adopt a model like this , and it doesn ' t really make sense given the power and performance of client hardware now available ( and the type of client hardware that will be available in the future ) .
even if you had an internet connection fast enough and stable enough to stream the more demanding games titles , you ' d still need a good enough graphics card which will set you back well over £100 for the modern high - end games . zack
being an avid gamer myself i think this would not be the way forward for the truly hardcore gamers .
a true enthusiast would like to build and maintain his own hardware and not be driven by an outside source where it ' s literally out of their control .
nice concept but has its downsides when servers crash or go offline due to maintenance . brom , netherlands
i was never a big gamer until i bought a ps3 and now i wouldn ' t be without it . i love the fact that i have a console and a great library of games that i can physically connect to .
plus i can trade games in when i have had my use out of them . this is something that you cannot do over networks as there is no re - sale potential , something that a lot of gamers favour as they can trade in old games for newer titles without the full expense .
though in theory this should only be good , it ' s open to mass abuse and a new form of cyber attack . joshua sugarman , leeds , uk

onlive , which eliminates the need for a xbox 360 or playstation 3 console by streaming popular video games to computer users via the internet , has launched in the united states .
keen gamers can choose from more than 20 titles , including batman : arkham asylum , and assassin’s creed 2 . onlive can be used on computers running microsoft ’s windows operating system or apple ’s mac os x .
miller said the company had spent a year cementing relationships with game studios , and ensuring its network of data centres could handle the expected demand .
some people had been sceptical whether the streaming model could be applied to video games , because of the amount of data contained in the average game , and the impact that any interruptions or buffering could have on the gameplay experience .
onlive saves players’ progress as they go along , which means they can continue playing a game online , from another computer , at any time . the company also aims to launch a “micro console” so that people can stream games from the internet straight to their tv , without the need for a computer .
the company is offering us gamers a free , year - long subscription to the onlive service , as part of a partnership with at & t . membership usually costs $ 4 . 95 per month , with users paying an additional fee to “rent” games .
onlive is yet to get a uk launch date , but the company has struck an agreement with bt , similar to the one it has in the united states with at & t . the company is likely to offer british users a similar “free trial” period when the service goes live in this country .

the shield offering has now become much more interesting since nvidia launched it on may 28 . nvidia is also announcing new apps such as showtime , a launch in europe , and other good stuff . all told , more than 1 , 000 apps are available on android tv , and there are 135 games available on the shield hub app and 300 games on google play .
“apple tv has come out , but if you are an android user , shield is the best device for you , ” said ali kani , general manager for shield at nvidia , in an interview with gamesbeat . “we like apple tv because it confirms our theory that the smart tv category is exciting . ”
the shield outdoes the processing power of the new apple tv since it has the new tegra x1 mobile processor — with a 256 - core nvidia graphics processing unit ( gpu ) and a 64 - bit central processing unit ( cpu ) . nvidia says that gives shield three times the processing power of the new apple tv , and it enables it to support ultra - high - def 4k displays without compromise . about 10 current games can take advantage of 4k resolution on shield .
geforce now ( formerly known as geforce grid ) has more than 50 popular pc games available , including titles from the batman , lego , witcher , and resident evil series . geforce now is available on thursday , with three months free on shield devices . after that , you pay a subscription fee of $ 8 a month . available games include the witcher 3 : wild hunt , middle - earth : shadow of mordor , mad max , and lego jurassic world .
