VALVE ANUNCIA STREAM
Desde la idea y desarrollo de plataformas de contenidos televisivos vía streaming conocidas como AOL HD, Youtube, Ajaria TV, Livestream, Ustream, Brightcove, Youtube y las más cercanas, para nosotros, plataformas dirigidas al mundo del videojuego tales como Gaikai y OnLive, Valve transmite en la nota de prensa su inquietud a la hora de dotar a sus clientes de los mejores servicios posibles, a un precio módico de 19,95€ al mes. Cuidado, es bastante posible que alguno de sus títulos estrella estén siendo desarrollados para beneficiarse de la tecnología Stream, en exclusiva, con lo que posiblemente estaríamos en los albores o advenimiento de un anuncio sobre Half-Life 3 que obligaría a sus fans a plantearse muchas cosas.
Following a slew of announcements about Valve Corporation expanding beyond game development and distribution into general software and hardware possibilities, Stream is officially releasing a beta version next summer.
Announced nearly a month ago by the privately-held Seattle-based developer, the new streaming version of Steam’s acclaimed content distribution platform promises to free up the service from users’ personal computers and integrate it with their television sets. Showing a sleek and innovative approach to a television-based user streaming interface, the new version of Steam raises questions about the future of PC game development between platforms.
So far, most of the revealed changes made to Stream are largely on the server architecture design side, and obviously adjusting the user interface to better viewing with television sets. Moving past the standard QWERTY mode that is the primary text-input option for other consoles (and a disappointing one at that), «Big Streaming Picture Mode» instead uses a flower-shaped on-screen keyboard. Other features include standard shopping, browsing, and social networking functions similar to those offered in the PC, TV, iOS and Linux versions.
Estaremos muy atentos a todo lo que pueda ocurrir entorno a este anuncio de campanillas.
