Coreonline, a new cloud gaming service announced by Square Enix this morning, puts HD games in your browser, letting you play console games in your PC. A combination of Google and Square Enix tech, developed by Hapti.co, makes it possible to get your game in in Chrome, Firefox and IE. I tried it in Safari and it told me to go home (or use Chrome).
With Coreonline you’ll be able to click on a level and start playing instantly, from any part of the game you’d like. Saves and achievements are stored in the cloud, and are accessible from any browser.
It launches withHitman: Blood MoneyandMini Ninjas.Lara Croft and the Guardian of Lightwill come in October. TitlesTomb Raider: UnderworldandGyromancerare currently in development, and more titles will be made available next year.
