Gossip is shared by Kotaku editor Jason Schreyer (Jason Schreier). Recall that Schreyer usually does not publish inaccurate data and very often turns out to be right. So the information below can be taken seriously, although with the share of the skepticism-still there are no official comments yet.
According to Schreyer, Yeti console is built on three whales: a certain streaming platform, a kind of โglandโ and an attempt to lure in Google game developers – whether it is aggressive recruitment of employees or even the acquisition of entire companies.
Representatives Google Allegedly held several meetings https://royal-fortune.uk/games/ on E3 2018. They wanted not only to surprise developers with their device, but also try to buy a number of studios.
Most likely, Yeti will be more than a streaming platform than a familiar stationary console: it is assumed that the prefix from Google reproduces a video stream that receives from servers where all game calculations occur. By this principle, PlayStation Now and GeForce Now work. Powerful filling in the spirit of PlayStation 4 or Xbox One in the device Google, Apparently it will not.
The general idea of โโYeti is described by the phrase โImagine that from the game in The Witcher 3 You are separated by only one tab in Google Chrome ". Google also wants to introduce close integration with YouTube into the console. Let’s say you came across a difficult place. Now you have to be distracted from the console and pick up a smartphone or laptop to find tips on the network. And in Yeti there will be overlaws who can show the passage of the current game on YouTube.
Some developers that Kotaku journalists spoke are inhabited by Yeti with distrust. Like, Google too often begins some initiative, and then throws it halfway. It is also incomprehensible whether the โmurderous gameโ will appear on Yeti, for which people will begin to acquire this console.
In addition, doubts add scarce successes of another Internet giant- Amazon. The company is trying to break into the video game market, acquired Twitch, constrained its own Lumberyard engine, scored three developers. Only the exhaust is not yet felt: when you last heard something important about Crucible or New World? But these games Amazon announced back in 2016. Then they presented e -sports fun Breakaway, but after almost two years it was canceled.
