    Default Shinra Technologies, Inc: A Cloud Gaming Company


    Yeah that's right. Shinra is now a legit company. Named after the Final Fantasy VII in game company, Shinra Technologies, Inc is a company at the forefront of Cloud based gaming.

    The company is being led by former Square Enix president Yoichi Wada. Already Ubisoft is on board with this New York City based company to join in on the cloud computing. “Ubisoft has long believed that the cloud will play an important part in gaming’s future,” said Yves Guillemot, CEO and co-founder of Ubisoft. “We are intrigued by the direction Shinra Technologies, Inc. is taking and look forward to seeing what their architecture and technologies can deliver.”

    It will hopefully do a whole lot for the gaming industry. The website itself shares much information on what they aim to do:

    Shinra Technologies, Inc. is the next evolution of gaming. Harnessing the power of a supercomputer in the cloud, Shinra creates a groundbreaking experience not possible with today’s current gaming technology. Shinra is not just what’s next. Shinra is the technological breakthrough that will propel the industry forward.

    Shinra breaks the current one-processor, one-user model. Our datacenters feature thousands of CPUs and GPUs working together, providing gamers access to virtually unlimited processing power. Using patented technology, Shinra efficiently shares gameplay resources — we create massive simulations for a massive number of users, with no client-side synchronization needed. To do this, Shinra allocates processing power for each component of a game (physics, AI, and rendering) on demand to meet the requirements of each game.

    Shinra will transform the way games are created and experienced. Shinra allows game developers to design all-new game experiences at every scope, from complex 3D open-world games to 2D sprite games. For new game designs, Shinra enables features such as Hollywood-quality graphics, distributed physics, and massive living worlds that are fully dynamic — eliminating the need for installations, patches or load times — and allowing for an unprecedented number of players in multiplayer games.
    So, vote Shinra! Or well, play on Shinra! What do you think about this cloud based gaming and it being named after Shinra?

    Too bad game streaming is terrible for any game that relies on action elements.
