Legendary developer David Perry has told us about plans for the instantaneous games service

The Develop Conference, Brighton: David Perry, games industry veteran spoke to NowGamer earlier today about the currently-in-development system Gaikai which enables users to play games that are actually running on a remote server, regardless of hardware platform.

"All these players are out there sitting in their office clicking around flash games on Myspace and Facebook," explained Perry "if we could just get control of any of that, we would have countless millions of new gamers coming into the game industry, which is a good thing for everyone."

However, Perry was quick to differentiate Gaikai from rivals such as OnLive, announced earlier this year.

"Our agenda's been 'if only we could create a service, not a platform.' OnLive is trying to compete against everybody. By making their own hardware they're going to compete with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo - they're hoping they can beat those guys with their hardware. I'd say they've close to no chance, but it's a good story."
