Facebook has tied up with a gaming technology company called “unity technologies” to launch high end online/offline games.Unity technology is a global platform leader in developing games on 2D, 3D, VR and AR.
Unity will help the game publisher in exporting there current games into the facebook platform, which will make the games readily accessible to over 650 million active game users on the facebook platform.
Facebook PC gaming is not something new, we have had very very popular games of facebook since last 5 to 6 years, games like farmVille & texas Holdem Poker were extremly popular, but non of the popular game were complex 3D games, most of the games were 2D or 2.5D games with relatively medium to low end graphics, but with the introduction of this newly developed platform we can expect to have 3D online games with atleast medium to high end graphics.
One more avenue where we see tremendous potential is Virtal Reality (VR) and/or Argument Reality (AR) front, worldwide we can see numerous games and app being developed with VR or AR experience in mind and with the accusiotion of this VR pioneer company named “Oculus” by facebook, it only becomes more obvius for facebook to bet big on Virtual reality and Argument Reality.
There is also a very very high possibility that this “Facebook Gaming Platform” will also be a pc downloadable client just like steam or Origin, where the user can buy and download the games they want to play, obviously in this case the games will not be online playable, it will most probably be similar to native games that you install on your computer and play, but with the massive user base of facebook, this new platform can seurely cause some upsets to the already established players in the market.
