Gaikai

Play Mass Effect 2, Sims 3 in Your Browser Right Now

Gaikai launches, allowing you to play various PC games directly in your browser.

 

The cloud gaming space just became that much more competitive. Gaikai has launched in 12 countries, joining the likes of OnLive as services that allow you to stream full-fledged PC games without having to install them locally.

 

What sets Gaikai apart is that it allows you to play games directly in your browser. Provided your connection quality is fast enough, you can try Mass Effect 2 right now at Gaikai's official website (just wait for a pop-up in the bottom-right corner). Other games that can be played right now include Dead Space 2, Spore, The Sims 3, and Second Life.

 

A lengthy blog post by CEO David Perry outlines some of the challenges faced in developing a network that will allow gamers access to the service, which is currently live in 12 countries.

 

Gaikai will allow publishers to give gamers a chance to try their without the need for a demo to be developed. Not only that, but advertisements could then be run along with the game to generate revenue. "Our main focus however is our Advertising strategy, where we can put any game anywhere on the web," Perry wrote. "Our objective has been to empower publishers and retailers to give gamers what they keep asking for... 'Let me try the game!'

 

Perry also bragged about the accomplishments his team had managed: "Nobody else in the world has achieved this kind of streaming performance directly into browsers, it's technically the most advanced interactive advertising unit in existence."

 

At GDC this week, a demonstration of Mass Effect 2 running inside Facebook will be shown. The plan going forward is to work with videogame websites to get games embedded so that you could potentially read a review and then try out the game yourself.

 

"[O]ur thinking is somewhat like YouTube, as instead of just building a portal to go and watch videos, they decided to focus on putting videos everywhere on the web," he continued. "We are doing the same with games, so when you read a review on a game, you can try playing it right there on the same page as the review."

 

Sounds like the future, doesn't it? InstantAction, which has since been shut down, also allowed for games to be played directly in the browser. Gaikai seems to have the more impressive slate of games, so hopefully it can succeed where InstantAction did not.

Suppose there was a way to add an entirely new revenue stream to your site, without carving out new ad space. Now there is, with Gaikai's game demo ad network. Here's how it works: Add a single line of Gaikai code to your site, and your users can play full PC and console video games right on the page, absolutely free. For every minute they play, we pay you. That's right: we pay you to put awesome free games on your site. For many games, we split revenue with you 50/50, so you make as much as we do ... and that's on top of your existing ad revenue

taigi dave ismegint man Gaikai beta. ok nuvariau per link,atsakiau i kelis klausimus,ir pradejo tikrint mano neto pralaiduma,kelis kartus buvo fail,tada uzdariau visus langus, praejau testa ir paleido iskart Dead Space 2 demo. tik deja neisejo palost nes matyt netas jau veze ant plauko,tai vis nutrukdavo ir tikrindavo is naujo .taip ir nepakrove pacio demo,bet zaidimo menu maciau ir viskas veike normaliai. reikia greitesnio neto tam dalykui. bet va jei duotu ismegint visu ar bent jau daugumos zaidimu demo tokiu budu ,tai cool.

beja meginau is tokio pc kuris realiai nepaveztu nei vieno normalaus zaidimo. o per browseri va eitu.

kazkaip email gavau nuo sony paciu apie gaikai..nueinu..try nfs the run...pasileidziu..jokiu login nieko ..iskart losiu geima ..ir ant tikrai prasto laptopo..tik su klava nekoks valdymas..bet eina puikiausiai.

tai kai sony juos petvarkys ten pilnai ,bus isvis daiktas jauciu ten. su onlive buvo daugiau problemu kazka pasileist.o cia puikiausiai eina,bent jau lt

Tokie patys įspūdžiai ir mano buvo kai pabandžiau prieš kelias savaites pirmą kartą, ypač darbe ten šviesolaidinis netas tai labai smagiai eina, net keista ant savo vidutiniško laptopo žaist Crysis 2 ar NFS The Run. Bet ten viskas labai paprasta tik dėl to, kad ten vien demo. Kai atsiras mokami žaidimai, prasidės registracijos, apmokėjimai ir t.t. tai viskas taps sudėtingiau.

 

na ant oNLIVE man ir demo nejo pazaist normaliai.tai palyginus cia patiko labiau,tiesa Onlive uk meginau o gaikai lietuvoj.

chrome ir firefox eina abu vienodai gerai. palyginus su Onlive. skirtumai. Online appas pasileidzia visada.net ir paciam blogiausiam rysiui. Gaikai nepasileis net.kartais megini kelis kartus ir nepasijungia prie servo, kartais pasijungia iskart ir tada na vaizdas buna geras. kai onlive veiks visada bet dazniausia vaizdas labai prastas. bet naudot abu galima . aisku gaikai tik demuskes. bet yra Ze run ir Crysis 2, mass effect 3 demuskes,dar kelios neblogos. prisiminus kai nvidia rode savo cloud streaming gpu ,tai butent ji buvo gaikai pritaike, veliau sony ji nusipirko ir kol kas nieko dar jam nekeicia. idomu kas bus veliau.

na lagina cia viskas visur.bet sitas nors vaizdo nedaro super ultra low kaip kad padaro onlive jei su bandwith buna kazas negerai jam. cia arba eina ir visai graziai arba neina isvis. nu arba eina ir lagina.

gerai palost kazka kas nereikalauja labai greitos valdymo . kokius loginius ar point and click. tokius palost galima kad ir su lagu.aisku ne fps arba racing.

ant linux neveikia

 

na pas zmones ant ubuntu veikia.tik reikia Oracle Java isirasyt .
