Cloud Sim Racing
The next big thing in the world of gaming is undoubtedly cloud gaming where users play video games over the internet without using a disc or having to download the game. Instead all the game data is stored and processed by servers at the other end run by the gaming company, this means you don’t need a really powerful high end computer to play the games. All you need is a decent internet connection which most online gamers should already have.
Cloud gaming isn’t just a technology for the future, you can play games like this today. OnLive is a company already offering the cloud gaming experience, you can either rent or buy games to play online or you can pay a monthly subscription fee which gives you unlimited access to a library of over 100 games. For £6.99 or $10 a month you can play any games you want from a current selection of 116 games and growing. You then get 30% off any additional games you purchase. One of the great things about this service is you don’t have to wait hours or even minutes to download any of these games, simply click on it and your straight in. It’s even quicker than putting a disc in and loading up a game.
When you look at the convenience of cloud gaming and the fact you don’t need a top end PC you can’t help but think this would be ideal for sim racing. In fact you can play on OnLive through a PC, Mac, iPad, Laptop or even their own mini game system which sells for £69.99 or $99.00 and comes with one controller. Imagine being able to use iRacing on any computer or TV without having to download all your cars and tracks each time, this would improve the service and make it accessible to a lot more people.
