Gaming news too small for its own thread

Apparently Nvidia are prepping their own game streaming service.

Worth mentioning GeForce Now has been in Beta for 3 years now (PC variant, even longer in it's other guises) although this finally sees it launch fully. My understanding is that GeForce now will run on a mixture of Intel, AMD and Nvidia GPU's unless you mean the 'free' offer is only for Nvidia GPU owners.

Nvidia launches GeForce Now cloud gaming service at $4.99/month
"Paid subscription gives priority server access and six-hour sessions, but there's a free version too.

Nvidia has officially launched its GeForce Now cloud gaming platform out of beta, opening up cloud gaming support across PC, Mac, Android, and TV (via Nvidia Shield) via existing PC game storefronts.


The service is split into two tiers: a free edition, and a paid founders edition. The founders edition costs $4.99 per month, and offers priority access to servers, play sessions up to six hours long, and access to games with ray tracing supported. Free users may have to wait in queues to access servers and will be capped at sessions one hour long, though there's no limit to how many times a user can queue in any period. Both plans support streaming at 1080p and 60fps. As it's a streaming service, all games are intended to function at these levels regardless of the power of the user's device."

By deploying AI-driven player archetypes, Modl.ai mimics human behaviour for playesting, thereby accelerating the process and reducing overheads."


Yet another job becomes automated by AI.

Don't have much to say about this other than well played that guy. Could've quite easily sat on it or sold it, but instead gets it out there for all to see.

He posts a bit on the Arcade Otaku forums seems like a cool guy.

I'm seeing this without the context of the previous page, wondering what it is that you could sit on... or sell... or get it out for all to see.

No doubt to do with some streaming deal Activision will have for the series somewhere. Still, another nail in the eventual streamers coffin
