While not necessarily as high profile as the OnLive service, cloud gaming initiative Gaikai has been slowly building for a while now. Founder David Perry indicates, however, that Gaikai should launch by the end of 2010.
“We said we’d be done by the end of September, and we are. We’re feature complete. You see it running from Dallas. That’s the experience that people are gonna have. So the problem is we have not had the mass market real gamers come and play this. We ve had publishers playing, but we haven t had real gamers,” said Perry. “The minute that announcement comes out of who we re gonna partner with, we’ll start sending out invites immediately. And we’re gonna do that for 60 days. So we are 60 days from the start of those invites to launch,” he added.
“So that s means, at some point in December, probably mid-December, we will be live. There will be no you’re in a beta. It’ll just be go ahead and play,’ he added.
