New & cool, fully in-browser game built in webgl & featuring cloud rendering.

This is the future of gaming, check it out on whatever device you’re on right now.

No massive .pak file downloads (why does fort nite need 90+GB stored locally?), just open up the web address & play.

I don’t do games but I do recognise cool advances in tech. This is a good one.

Nope, handbags. 

 

The game is Afterworld, The Age Of Tomorrow.

I do do games and have been for 35 odd years. I game less than I used to but still spend tens of hours a week gaming. This is not a good idea.

webgl has been around for quite awhile... it's a pain to work with IMO....

I’d have to agree with this not being a practical idea. No issue with it being cool tech, it’s pretty amazing to get a game going in browser.

Practically support from network infrastructure just isn’t there and won’t be for a long time. There is a limited audience who can take advantage of cloud gaming services.

As for game file sizes, would you believe this is for older hardware support? The game is intentionally large so as to avoid decompression overhead as well as hard drive seek times. CoD 2019 is the most notable game that does this with a total install size floating upwards of 200GB.
