Here is Unreal Engine 4 running natively in firefox without any plugins. It uses OpenGL as the renderer and WebGL as the graphics API.


Hardware used is Nvidia. It just makes the streaming of games from PC to an android device more transparent or simply put: broadening the local area Cloud.

This is probably the first step in making an Operating System oblivious to a users need/demand.

Too early for our gen. The tweens of today are the ones who will add major momentum 5 years from now...thats about the same time when crytek will prioritize the next cryengine for linux and Android. Windows...go....going....gone.

I bet you the next gen games will come first on linux.....not that I'll be playing them.

All thanks to Gabe Newell.
