well here we have the newest entrant into the Gaikai family one of Samsung's high-end Smart TVs here in the Samsung Smart Hub you can see we've got a new icon here in the lower right corner Gaikai which is a special thing that they've been working on with a new set of firmware for Samsung's high-end televisions we want to jump in that right now will show you the interface Gaikai has told us that this UI you're about to see here can be customized any way the manufacturers like instead of using a Gaikai account it actually uses your Samsung Account which is cross-referenced Gaikai so you get all of your saved games and all of the games that you purchased and so on when this launch is based on that single login got a variety of different games here we can start up the witcher 2 and this should load pretty quickly from the servers and jump you right into the full pc version of the title even though all we've got plugged into this TV is power and an ethernet cord here goes nope one more round Gaikai stands for the open ocean they tell us and that's the literal translation of that Japanese or those Chinese kanji Chinese characters depending on here's the witcher two assassins of kings we're loading the arena right now and again this is only one way to say it it's a television got a little bit of texture pop-in they're pretty rapidly and as you'd see it on a PC and now just going to jump into the arena and slay a few combatants for fun guy kai tells us just about any USB game controller will work with these televisions we're using a Logitech one right now that uses the X input system same one that's used in the Xbox 360 controller it's a nice alternative if you don't have an Xbox 360 game controller around that's the witcher 2 let's take a look at another game real quick log out becca tells us there'll be a survey here as part of the beta that we'll be seeing when the service launches on samsung tvs the beta should give us access to a variety of timed demos of games which they will be they'll be evaluating before they launch the full service at some time in the near future this is limbo a 2d platformer that's not really a platformer it's more of a puzzle adventure game where you are running through a dark world trying to find your sister i believe it's a very dark grim little fairy tale of the game and i like it quite a bit you can see it takes a little while to load even though it's a streaming game but there's room there for pre-roll advertisement of publishers are interested in that guy kai says that it's entirely up to the publishers and the TV manufacturers and so on though that's not something that they're going to be starting on their own just wake up here and set off through the forest and so you can just imagine we've got your your Samsung television here or LG LG is also a partner of guy guys and rather than watching TV or streaming a Netflix video or watching Blu ray one day you can just jump into the app and pick a game to try if you like it you'll be able to buy it and play it right on your television and that's Samsung's TV guy kai thank you for watching
