I wasn't sure if the specs at work had to be equal since all I am doing is viewing the screen and not actually processing the shit. It should still display everything fine since the monitor doesn't matter right? I guess I was right, Maybe I should do this now except I forget the site, It was like http://showmypc.com/ Yea that's it! | ||

there will be some latency that's inherent with your own internet connection. shouldn't be more than b.net though! should be really sick! | ||

Korea maybe but Usa/Uk/Canada no way. so are you stating that people don't have 1.5 MBit connection? My only fear that this would be an USA only service. Btw I think this is really the future of gaming. I have read a lot about similar things in scifi books and works of futurologist. You just have an input and an output device, for everything else you get the processing from somewhere else. | ||

Obviously, a fast internet connection is required on your end to stream the gameplay video. A 1.5 mbps connection (which is usually what base-level DSL is rated at) is required for standard-definition video (480p), while a 5.0 mbps connection is required for HD (720p)" IGN.com I don't understand how that is possible. How can you have 1ms of lag from an internet connection? Usually you get at least 35ms from a server. I'm trying to think of someway they could send all possible moves to your computer, so all it has to do is make a choice, but that's all I can think of. It says they only INTRODUCE one millisecond of lag w/ video encoding. They obviously can't speak for lag oover the various tubes of the interweb on which your data travels. And asking about whether or not they have ample hardware is irrelevant - hardware is cheap, scalable, and I'm sure there are smarter people than you at this place with expansion planned out well into the future. This looks fucking awesome. | ||

However the further you are away from the exchange the slower your actual sync speed will be. Any connection lag will definitely affect this no matter how super their technology is. | ||

Yeah i was just going to say this. Whatever your own internets ping is is the latency you will have. I dunno about most people but i normally dont get a ping better than 30ms going to most places. Almost all of my computer knowledge is telling me that this wont work. We simply dont have the technology yet but i'd be super happy to be proven wrong. | ||

So basically it's a high quality streaming video that updates according to your actions which are processed on the server end. Very cool idea and it's the first truly marketable cloud computing idea I've heard of. However, the internet latency will range from annoying to terrible in the USA. I can't imagine an fps being fun with a 250ms latency. | ||

~Seriously, there are way too many initiatives to "revolutionize" things nowadays when really all they're doing is hiding the same old system behind a few layers of needless complexity. | ||

It's called "cloud computing" day and it's the new rave. I don't think this is the future of just games, it's the future of computing! Basically, in the future all "computers" will be dumb terminals with an internet connection ready to "log you in" to your account (i.e. operating system). From there you can do whatever you'd normally do as though you were running the operating system locally. I hate it when Prophecies come true but in striving to centralise computer power in order to increase efficiency we're raising SERIOUS privacy issues. Sometimes cheaper isn't better. I want my own PC.. F*ck off cloud computing!!!!! What's wrong with a little bit of latency? Say NO to concepts such as this. YOUR PRIVACY IS AT STAKE! | ||

You know this would 10 times worse than lag you usually have on online games, as lag will be on INTERFACE LEVEL EFF EFF ESS! turn left didn't I just press left? TURN EFFING LEFT ALREADY! Ohhh, sweet. We go left. wait.. hey no, stop this shit. Stop going LEFT ALREADY! I died a little inside when I heard about this myself. I mean this means that games made for this platform HAS to be shit by definition. Well okay, there are games that don't require any real time interface input accuracy (and if your ping was low and stable it might not be that badbut come on.. Who's along for teH Buzzword ride? | ||

Wow that is quite amazing. Even if there is lag initially, if this is carried out for a few more years, as internet speed increases worldwide, it would be an eventual future @_@ That said, there would be no reason to buy alien ware computers anymore. If this works out, PC would stop getting their price jacked up by crazy grafix cards and i wouldnt have to hear anymore gforce versus radeon debates. We'd just all hook up to the mother brain server and play. YESS THIS WILL PROGRESS HUMANITY TOWARDS BECOMMING THE ZERG SWARM! now they just need to name one of the servers *cough overminds* Kerrigan. | ||
