The history of cloud gaming

Posted by:

on December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012

Cloud gaming is quickly rising in popularity as companies such as Onlive change the way we game. With Onlive, they take care of the hardware requirements, making games playable to someone with even the most basic computer. All they need is an Internet connection and the ability to install the application.

So where did the concept of cloud gaming come from? And how did it become such a big thing? Well the folks at Big Fish Unlimited have created a fun infographic to answer just that!

Big Fish Unlimited is one of the latest companies to take gaming to the cloud. They provide streaming games not only to computers, but mobile devices as well. Check out the infographic below for a bit of history on cloud gaming. If you click on the image, it will take you to an “interactive” version of the infographic.

Open the bio of Blas Garcia

Blas Garcia is a 24 year old filmmaker and writer from Irving, TX. His passion for video games began at an early age when his parents got him an NES with Super Mario and Duck Hunt. As he grew up, he discovered that gaming had its own community that surpassed playing video games and also involved art. This led him to study filmmaking and animation at the University of Texas at Austin, where he drew inspiration from classic and modern video games for his projects.

Nowadays, Blas likes to play first person shooters on his Xbox 360, though he admits he plays like a total n00b. He is a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed series and can be found online skillfully taking out his rival assassins. Every once in a while he likes to take it old school and will bust out his still working NES, or his 3DS to play Super Mario and Legend of Zelda titles. He is currently replaying his way through Ocarina of Time on the 3DS.

Career-wise, Blas has worked on indie film projects. Most recently, he worked on the animation for The Beat Hotel, a feature length documentary. He currently works full time at a media company preparing press releases, photos, and videos for clients. In his spare time, you can find Blas writing for That Video Game Blog, or posting on his personal blogs, one of which is dedicated to video game art and culture.
