Fog Gaming is Sega’s new cloud gaming service for arcades in Japan (via WccfTech).
Article now with info:
– yes, “Fog Gaming” is the “scoop”
– Sega will use arcades in Japan as the technical backbone
– CPUs and GPUs housed in arcade machines are mentioned specifically
– ultra-low latency is touted
– commercial idea is to use arcades outside business hours https://t.co/LWOiYuDAYj— Dr. Serkan Toto / Kantan Games Inc. (@serkantoto) June 3, 2020
The news comes from the latest issue of Famitsu, which states the new service would “make use of arcade cabinets’ CPU and GPU to reduce costs and offer ultra-low latency.” As a result, arcades would be able to generate revenue even after hours, which is an unprecedented business opportunity.
At the moment, we don’t know whether these arcade titles will become available as home titles through Fog Gaming, or whether the service will be multinational in the future. Also, the Game Gear Micro has been announced, which will play classic titles on a miniature version of the console.
