Perry: Gaikai "Ready to Launch"

[Nov 03, 2010, 10:47 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Gaikai is gearing up towards beta testing, reports MCV, where word is the cloud gaming initiative may be nearing a deal with a gaming site, as they quote spokesperson Dave Perry saying: "At the 11th hour a major USA gaming site has asked us to let them run our Closed Beta. If the deal can be done quickly we will do that, if not we will invite 100,000 people in to play from our own users." Perry also says that Gaikai, which now seems to be billing itself primarily as a "video game advertising network," is actually ready for its close-up: "Gaikai is ready to launch now, we've started working on Server Design 2.0 while we wait for launch to happen."

To me, having significant input lag in a game that requires speed and precision (like UT3) is not playable. The only people who would enjoy playing on OnLive would have low standards and those people are already playing on consoles. Instead of picking and choosing a few words out of my post, read the entire thing and come back. Your post in no way relates to my overall point, and your obvious complaints that I agree with you on were addressed by later sentences you outright ignored.
