Bethesda announces Orion technology for game streaming
Game company Bethesda has announced the Orion streaming technology during a presentation at the E3 game fair. This makes games like Doom playable on smartphones.
Orion was developed by id Software and is a technology to optimize the streaming of games. According to the makers, Orion should provide faster streams, even with a lower bandwidth. Game developers can use Bethesda technology in their games. Orion was demonstrated during the press conference by playing Doom with a controller on a smartphone, according to Bethesda "without visible delay" and in 4K resolution with sixty images per second. A beta will be released later this year.
New games and extensions were also shown. The new Doom game, Doom Eternal , will be released on November 22. The game contains a story mode, but also gets a multiplayer option, where a player competes against two demons.
Bethesda also put his plans for the second year of Fallout 76 on the table. "We had many problems with the game in the beginning," the company admitted. "We have rightly criticized that." Bethesda claims to have solved many of the problems and will release a free expansion in the fall of this year, adding more to the game. For example, there is a new storyline, human characters are added and a battle-royal mode is added. 52 players are placed in a level, one of which remains as the winner. Players must defeat each other and stay away from an ever-burning ring.

Unless they partner with some big local internet providers, its only nice technology demo.. so far nobody does it, only Google has streaming and its 1Gbit connection in some locations, so they can control whole ecosystem.. Maybe it could work like Nvidia monitor certification, they can certificate some ISP packages with some ping and stability guarantees .

All these companies jumping on the game streaming bandwagon... I wonder if there is any market research to back this up as being a viable business?
I don't see it myself - only some urban areas even offer the sort of uncapped high speeds this requires. Meanwhile, people in urban areas trend more affluent and could likely afford the PC / console anyway. In the US at least, the ISP options in rural and suburban locations are often regional monopolies and, generally speaking, both overpriced and awful in terms of speed. Off the cuff, I can think of several family members and friends who have DSL as the fastest option available...

Soooooooooooooooooo sad the way the world has gone, where so many are fixated with their phone. I loved the days when they were not about, people spoke to each other at bus stops, while queuing anywhere. You look in bars now and ...... I watch my sisters kid, if not on the xbox its the bloody phone, know wonder all the youngsters are wearing glasses well before their time. Who would want game on a silly size screen?
Yeah I know, a lot of you :p

Apparently game streaming is the new video streaming, everyone wants a piece of the pie. The difference being that there's no Netflix here, and nobody has proven they've gotten it working acceptably. Even local on my wired network, Xbox streaming to my PC is a bit choppy at times, and that's only 1080p streaming. GeForce Now works well enough for games that aren't latency driven, but again, that's 1080p.
