John-ShepardWith cable companies like Verizon and Comcast exploring cloud gaming possibilities, major publishers may have to consider connected TVs as well.
A recent Bloomberg report addressed the fact that the aforementioned cable companies could be looking into various gaming opportunities and Electronic Arts was mentioned as a potential partner.
In response, EA senior director of corporate communications John Reseburg told GameSpot that while it's a "potentially lucrative prospect," it's at least five years out. Said Reseburg:
"Connected TV represents a major opportunity for gaming on the five-year horizon. It’s long-term opportunity, but it’s another technology that has a lot of potential to dramatically expand our audience."
The Bloomberg report says many companies, including AT&T and Time Warner, will launch their own cloud-gaming services by 2014. Generic controllers would be available and there's even the chance that smartphones could become controllers as well. …yeah, things are changing.
This will just be another format for casuals to play Angry Birds and Farmville when they get home from work.
no its not, gaikai signed a deal with samsung not so long ago their new TVs are going to have the service built into them.
just goes to show how out of touch EA are.
5 years my a$$!
I'm sayin that's what it will effectively become.
WHAT!?
5 years!?
EA do realize that things like gaikai have already been signed for TV deals right?
EA really are still stuck with the dinosaurs……….
He must have the American market in mind. As far as I understand the bandwidth is much more expensive and limited there than many other parts of the world.
