Facebook Announces Streaming Cloud Service for Facebook Games

We have the impression that everyone starts in the game industry and that Facebook is not a business to let, because they announced a cloud-based gaming service to integrate into their gaming service , Facebook Gaming.

The streaming service will give players instant access to certain games directly via the application or in the browser, and the current beta has allowed more than 200,000 players to broadcast games continuously, by vice-president From Facebook game, Jason Rubin.

"It is essential for us to start with latency-tolerant games so that we can offer good experience to players on various devices. For the purposes of our beta, this includes genres such as sports games, cards, simulation and strategy. "

It seems that they take their own limits seriously and it is unlikely that we get big IP addresses such as Final Fantasy or Resident Evil on the new service. Facebook games have existed for some time but have not necessarily attracted the same level of attention as the console games, although they compensate for their popularity: games like Candy Crush or Farmville regularly attract millions of players, Everyone who can spend money. on the currency of the game.

Hope the new service will appear more and more technologically advanced games, but it will be a slow process. Facebook is committed not to promise too much and not to subvert and will focus on the provision of quality games. They also understand that they will not be able to compete with more established brands like Sony, Microsoft, or even with emerging companies like Google.

"We love the games on Console and PC and the two formats still exist for a long time. We believe that cloud gaming will increase - and not replace - options for engaging in great games. »
