Xbox One Game Streaming Targeting Full 1080p/60fps

doesnt this mean that the games need to be 1080p / 60fps running on the X1 first in order to stream at that quality. kind of a mute point.

this is awesome if they don't require you to have gold then its a win i don't own that fail of a vita like most people but my PC is ready along with my xbox won.

"Certainly our goal is to be as low-latency as possible"

Yeah, and there's no way FPS or racing games are going to be playable with the latency that can be offered.

Makes Sonys service look fairly ordinary.

Amazing. Sony now playing catch up again... the cream always rises to the top

Unless you have a windows tablet, this streaming is pointless. Windows tablets barely sell and you're no going to stream to a PC.

What the cockroaches at Microsoft are trying to do is, get you used to streaming your games from your xbox1 to pc/table and then when they can they will do what they've wanted to do when they where about to bring the xbox1 out. Turn the xbox1 into streaming your games from their servers, and "TA-DA" they have got what they wanted from the beginning, no more physical copies of games and you own absolutely nothing but a rental.

I thought this is why so many people gave Microsoft the finger and bought the PS4.

I'm assuming when he says that the streaming will be 1080/60 he means that the actual image output from the Xbox One may be different, but the stream will be full HD at 60 fps and not compressed. Games that run natively in 1080/60 will still appear as such when streamed in other words with no compromise on quality.

I can see the uses for this, as I usually don't have access to the TV in the evenings due to wife and kids so the option to use the Xbox via alternative means is definitely handy.

With a streaming service you don't need a gaming PC either since the Xbox is the one doing the processing, so a cheap laptop with integrated graphics can be used.

I love how everyone here is a coder/developer and know exactly how Microsoft is NOT going to achieve this haha. If they're shooting for 1080p/60 it's because the reality and possibility for it is there. You people need to stop acting like you know how this is all going to function because none of you do, none...

Ridiculous...

Shouldn't they get the Xbox One to run games at 1080p/60fps first?

Why would i need to stream my console to my PC?. Ohhh this is for hardcore tablet gamers' right???

*sits down, turns on xbox and puts a game in.* *Switches source to PC, opens Xbox program and selects the game and plays it*. YAAA!! lets burn more electricity!.

I don't get it, does this mean you can play xbons games on PC or PC games on xbons ?

Smart as it should help them keep a large chunk of the PC market which basically gets everything nowadays.

We will see whether it comes out.
