2006

This is a basic article I put together based on what information is published by DiStream, in anticipation that the service(and by extension the article) will become more important as the service's first high-profile game, Prey, launches in a few weeks.

It still needs a lot of work, including better Wikification, a product list, more information on how the service works and its technological underpinnings, and possibly user experience. Please add to it as you can.

Someone needs to put in a refutation that Triton is the only service that can stream games, because it's just not true. I've got a screenshot showing HL2 open in a Window while it's only 59% downloaded on Steam, but I'm not sure how to put images in properly... --AiusEpsi 03:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just did a test. From running the Steam installer to the G-Man saying "Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman" took just under 21 minutes, downloading 219.8 MB which is 27% of the full game. HL1 took 1.5 minutes to go from installing it in the Steam menu to hearing "Welcome to the Black Mesa transit system", downloading 15.9 MB or 14% of the full game. I guess this may count as original research, but I'd imagine the result that you need a lot less than 100% to start either game would be repeatable. --AiusEpsi 04:12, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"As a result the system has had no real-world testing for high-load situations, and may be a problem with the forthcoming release of Prey."

Prey is out - does anyone know how Triton fared under the load? LukeyBoy 14:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shutting Down

3dRealms has found out that Triton is being shut down without Digital Streams bothering to tell them. Isn't that nice? --ViRGE 19:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sources! Forum posts are a-ok if they are by an admin or otherwise official. --Tom Edwards 19:27, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/737/737827p1.html - It looks like it's gone under. Triton was pretty much a joke, they never had anything like a Half-Life 2 to ram digital distribution down people's throats. Instead of trying to launch their own service, they should have tried to farm out their streaming tech to other digital distribution companies. I don't know whether it's just the Triton service that's died, or the entire DiStream company behind it, it looks like the latter. - Hahnch e n 01:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
