It has been some time since Sega was at the forefront of console gaming and the company has largely retreated to arcade games as well as game production. Yet many fans of the work of the company became excited when Sega began teasing a significant announcement.  With this announcement being made to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the company many fans have had high hopes for what might be announced. There now seems to be more information, and it sounds like a huge step in terms of technology.
Sega has been on a positive path of late and it has achieved this through numerous titles as well as by utilizing Sonic as a key selling point. After a successful film and Sonic Mania achieving the highest review score in a decade for the franchise, it seems that Sega has been able to maintain a consistent fan base. Yet it seems that the future of the company is in a different avenue.
Twitter user Dr. Serkan Toto / Kantan Games Inc has revealed a scoop about Sega's big upcoming announcement and it seems that the company will be announcing "Fog Gaming." Many players may be confused by what this means for the company and it seems to be a move that allows players to use arcade machines which house CPUs and GPUs to allow for low latency streaming play. This seems to be exclusive to Japan and many players are wondering how this relates to concepts such as Cloud Gaming and if there is global news that is set to be announced by Sega.
The concept that Sega is rumored to be announcing will require some detailing to give players a clear picture of what exactly is meant by "Fog Gaming." Although it is interesting in terms of concept, many will wonder about the commercial promise of the venture and if it could be replicated outside of Japan. Others will be more concerned with getting new titles from Sega as it marks its anniversary.
There is a lot of expectation surrounding Sega at the moment and it will be interesting to see whether the concept of "Fog Gaming" satisfies players or whether they would prefer new games and different technology. Either way, it seems that there is a lot of momentum behind Sega and it will be fascinating to find out the full details of "Fog Gaming" and how it will be implemented.
