Microsoft is reportedly working on a large cloud MMO -apkrig
In his podcast The Xbox Two, journalist Jez Corden spoke without a broad context about a new MMO, the Finnish studio Mainframe is to collaborate with Microsoft on its development. According to Corden, it should be a title that will run in the cloud, so players will be able to join it any devices without the need to have computing power to play games. This is potentially the case edition or rather availability on PCs, consoles and mobile phones or tablets, which should be one of the biggest advantages of the whole game. Another can be the live entry of developers into the ongoing game by giving all players at one time nasypou into the path of the enemy and they will watch what chaos unleashes it among the players.
Corden did not add many more details, but his report was directly confirmed – albeit still on the level of speculation – by journalist Jeff Grubb. He mentioned that the project was to be codenamed Pax Dei, meaning God’s Peace, and that he had heard about it from several independent sources. He also said that Microsoft is enthusiastic about the idea, which is possible taking into account the activities in the field of cloud, respectively. streaming gaming to understand. Grubb further confirms that the cloud version does not mean, for example, just postponing part of the calculations to remote servers, but really instant access via the Internet from virtually anywhere, which could be an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time if the emerging project has a competitive component. The greater response caused by fluctuations in the Internet connection could significantly affect the whole experience, but on the other hand, we have no doubt that the developers deal with these issues themselves.
Both cited journalists then mention designer Hide Kodji, who according to other speculations is to potentially work with Microsoft on his own cloud game, and the experience from the development of Pax Dei could significantly help the whole cooperation. However, the whole consideration is quite unclear, and in the case of any cloud games, the link to the former design director at Kim Swift Stadium, who joined Microsoft in June this year, seems much more specific. It may be she who is currently discussing the development of the mentioned MMO with the Finnish Mainframe studio and could potentially mediate a possible future acquisition. According to him, the mainframe has gradually grown into a full-fledged studio and intends to combine “the best of AAA, MMO and mobile gaming into a social sandbox that can be played on every screen”.
