Google moving into gaming?

Google looks to be moving into the games industry with a brand new division called Games at Google.

The search giant has put out a job ad for a product manager in the new business. The responsibilities of the role include driving feature requirements for "Google's gaming platform."

Back in October last year it was suggested that Google TV could eventually be set to take on Wii and Kinect as the family game platform of choice in living rooms across the UK.

Google said that it "makes sense" for its new platform to offer video game apps to the family consumer in future.

Here's the full product manager job description for Google Games: "Rare opportunity to grow a brand-new business - Games at Google! We are looking for a strategic, technical and game-loving Product Manager to drive Google's gaming strategy."

"You will design strategies for game distribution and discovery, player identity, game mechanics, and more. In addition to designing a great user experience and building out key partnerships, you will be significantly influencing Google's social platform as you work directly with a critical set of early adopters, game developers."

"Interesting and impactful decisions involving social gaming, privacy, virality, business, and technical APIs await you and the strong, passionate team of gamers you will work with."


Who knows what Google will produce. Hopefully it is very different and innovative to the other Next-Gen consoles out.

It will be very interesting in what they come out with.

People will buy it since everyone loves google, and it will be good quality since it's google afterall, and things they make are generally very good.

I'll be looking forward to seeing this in actions!

After Google Maps and the Android OS, they will produce a very high standard product I think. Hopefully specs wise it is up to date, and not as outdated as the PS3 and 360.

I read a few more articles, and it suggest that Google TV, has Flash 10.1 support, so that might be the primary way of gaming? Playing flash games off the internet? It would certainly be interesting.

I suspect we will see Android like Mini games not triple A titles. Most likely you will just have fun little time wasters and not anything that would be taking on Ps or Xbox.

It will probably resemble something like POPCAP Games.
They wont have any hardcore games or anything we actually want I don't think.
It will just be more mundane games like Bejewelled and that sort of thing.

Still I could always be wrong and that would impress me. :lol:

I think your on the right track actually, i took more thought Into this and they wouldnt have enough time to take on something like a console and compete again Sony and Microsoft.

but they may sell VERY Well like popcap games on their plants vs zombies game on Apple Products.
I wish them luck and hope they do well in this area!

Man Google that's all they do is advertise, Google Google Google...
:lol: I wonder what game companies they will try to swallow up to do this.
Nintendo have just taken over POPCAP games by what I can gather.
So it's going to be really interesting to see what Google come up with now.

I think that is just for integrating some games into google plus. Like Facebook I think.
