[ANN] PLAYKEY: DECENTRALIZED CLOUD GAMING PLATFORM

[Yasemin]

I feel the pain, without even mention all the money i spent on hardware to kepp the machine up to date to run the latest games 

This is exactly why I think Playkey can become a hit! The fast gaming and no need for hardware.

Also they are very active with investor meetings and in blockchain conferences. Tomorrow they will be in Dubai https://www.dubai.worldblockchainsummit.com/

The Playkey project has collected its first $1 Million of investments in the  pre-sale campaign and is welcoming Dillon Seo, co-founder of pioneering virtual reality firm Oculus VR, as an advisor for Playkey on the latest VR technologies.

Do you want to know more? Here http://www.the-blockchain.com/2017/10/19/playkey-brings-1-million-pre-sale-campaign-welcomes-dillon-seo-vr-advisor/

So we can assume playkey will start focussing on VR tech. It's not really in the article

"Seo says the key reasons he chose to work with the company were its possession of a functioning prototype of its platform, Playkey.net, and the potential for P2P cloud-based gaming. Playkey is currently renting servers at data centers, but with funds raised through the ICO it plans to change its operating principle and move to a P2P model that will allow any owner of a powerful PC to rent out their hardware to other users."

I don't get how this streaming to vr will actually work

Well, VR need powerful PC's to run. With cloud gaming, you don't need a 3k PC for Oculus rift, making the technology more attractive.

A q for the devs. If VR is actually on the roadmap that is. Wouldn't VR applications tolerate much lower latency's compared to regular gaming? You have much more input from vr systems than from a regular gamepad/keyboard..

It ist still something different ... having an own powerful PC at home or using cloud gaming services. I have used several cloud gaming services over the years and although they work pretty well (most of them, most of the time) you still have this slight delay. It doesn't really effect your single player experience, but it still there and you notice this. Every time I was playing I was just thinking ... something is off. Maybe you get used to it ... but personally don't love that. Furthermore this services cost money, especially Playkey is very expensive. Instead of paying 30 bucks a month, you could safe the money and buy every 1-2 years a new gfx card.

Problems with delay should be solved by decentralization. On this play, I think it will be comfortable

No, it can't be solved, because there is not internet connection that is "instant" :-) Pushing data through a pipe takes time. You can't solve that problem, you can only shorten the delay. And you notice a 30-50ms delay, which is pretty good in online games, but not for input devices (mouse / keyboard). People are just not used to it. Particularly when games are more and more optimized for 60 FPS, to offer that buttery smooth controls ... that you won't have in cloud gaming ... ever.

You are right it is not possible to play multiplayer with playkey against normal users. And it will never be possible.  Only turn-based games can be played like that or exclusive servers just for playkey users.

Netflix is a great reference for your internet speed.
If you can watch series without any glitches and with good image, your internet speed is good enough for playing games with PlayKey.

Cant wait to play all those games decentralized!
This is a great project and a game changer in so many ways.

i played online video games on the first adsl connections, it was laggy AF! I dont think i played on dial up, even though i used that a lot. Damn im old, kids these
days have no idea what real lag is! Playkey on blockchain with miners that supply computing power, it was my dream as a kid!

Yes, I'm also waiting for the launch of the platform with impatience. I would like to try mining and play

In this article, the CEO of PlayKey said that its a myth to believe video games in a cloud have the lag time that makes it impossible to play. Does he mean cloud gaming in general or is he referring to multiplayer games in the cloud? Because as both of you mentioned, I think someone playing via Cloud Gaming will always have a disadvantage when he plays against someone with his own PC.

I guess Playkey is also taking into account lower pings on future connections. 60 FPS are like having a grahical ping of 16.66 ms. Thus, if you are able to communicate with Playkey servers in less than that time, gaming experience can be fluent even on FPS. Of course I mean request+response so it's still hard to reach but well, not impossible IMHO.

As levyashin pointed out, the game also affects that. You can play non-ping-critical games like strategy, adventures or similar without affecting the experience.

playkey is one of the project, where i really believe that it will really go well in the future and that our tokens could really be worth something

[Oxanduan]

cool project, what about limits on investments? amount, currency...

And with 5G coming, all those internet connection problem will be from the past.

Well that would really solve the equation. 1 ms latency according to Huawei's vision on 5g http://www.huawei.com/minisite/5g/en/defining-5g.html
Qualcomm was laughing at Intel some days ago regarding 5G. Wonder when will we have something feasible!

Great to hear that you advertise your project on events all over the world. I hope you can make some agreements with potential investors in Las Vegas.

The 60 ETH is a bit to much for me, will have to wait for the public ICO.
