Levine says tech like Chromecast is where gaming will go

Irrational Games head says the future lies in allowing players the experience to play on whatever device they like.

Irrational Games head Ken Levine has said he is excited about the effect technology like Google's Chromecast might have on video games in the future.

, Levine said the main differentiator between the next-generation consoles is their unique services. "From a hardware perspective, the PC and the Xbox and the PS4 are very much similar beasts in a lot of ways now," he said. "It's more about the software on top of it and the services they provide.

"What I'm excited about--you saw that Google dongle that came out the other day?--is something like that for games."

Google's Chromecast is a $35 HDMI peripheral that allows streaming of services like Netflix and the mirroring of computer screens. Sony has created a similar idea with its Remote Play interoperability between PlayStation 4 and Vita,

One of the key principles of Nintendo's Wii U is also that users can play games on the screen when the television is in use.

Levine thinks the experience of allowing people to play games anywhere is now more important than having one central device in the living room. "People want to talk about owning the living room. I don't think the living room matters that much any more," he said.

"It's about wherever you want to game and having your experience. I'm not just saying playing an iPhone game, I'm saying having your game--your big, hardcore game--playing on whatever screen you wanted.

"I think that kind of technology is going to be something that's really important for gamers, because you want to be able to pick up your experience and move it somewhere else."

"The technology's there--it's actually very, very cheap," Levine said last week. "I'm just waiting for someone to do it, because letting gamers define their experience--how they play it, where they play it--that's where it's going. Gamer-driven experiences. That's what excites me."

Ken Levine Is Still Trying to Bring a BioShock Game to the Vita

It took more than two years for BioShock Infinite to go from announcement to release. That’s a pretty long time. But it might be even longer to get Irrational Games’ successful first-person series onto the PlayStation Vita. Why? Studio head Ken Levine says, “I can’t personally greenlight the thing myself.”

Bioshock Infinite Patch 6 adds 'features necessary to support upcoming DLC'

Added: 30.07.2013 0:19 | 21 views | 0 comments


Bioshock Infinite patch 6 has quietly released on Steam, this evening. The new update serves one purpose and fuels speculation that the first piece of Bioshock Infinite DLC is due imminently. Ken Levine has been teasing his Twitter followers the past few days, telling them to expect something big this Tuesday. We fully expect the new content to be detailed then, but it would also appear that the DLC will launch shortly after the reveal from Irrational Games. DLC is highly anticipated as the game launched with a Season Pass back in March, but the fact that an update is releasing so suddenly, even ahead of the DLC reveal, is a pretty sure sign that well get something sooner than expected.
