    hey naysayers: it's called a 'proof of concept'. it comes with this grain of salt. here; take it.

    @nutbastard: Thank you. Someone who actually understands. Yes this is meant to prove that the idea works, not that it will work for everyone in any condition. Streaming media at a high enough rate for accurate gaming response has to be pretty speedy. Even the tiniest bit of lag can ruin an experience. That being said, it looks like they did it here, though I tried playing Crysis with a 360 controller and detested it. Mouse and keyboard, woo!

    @Toribor: I think everyone understands that this is a proof of concept. The question is what use is porting a highres experience to a device that can't display it.

    @dc-united: Proof of concept, If it can run Crysis okay, then it can run many less intense application's or games, which 90% of software's will be less intense, and be more forgiving for latency than Crysis. So if it run's Crysis okay, then it's good to go.

    A kind of benchmarking if you will.

    @deanbmmv: I understand your point, but wouldn't it be a more effective sales demo to show a less resource-hungry app running PERFECTLY than Crysis running w/ a lag and without the benefit of great graphics?

    @dc-united:


    i think crysis AT ALL is a lot better demo than some other less hungry program running. perhaps another 3D game would have sufficed, but i doubt if a less hungry 3D game would have suffered from any less latency. the problem is obviously with the transmission of the data, not the processing of it.

    Sounds like OnLive, except more practical if I can use it on my phone. I wonder if it requires WiFi or if it can handle the video streaming over 3/4G data networks.

    Can you only use a 360 controller? Seems like that would be impractical for on-the-fly gaming. What about the server and where the game is stored, is that your home computer or some service?
    As soon as they give me a small portable controller, let me use my own game and computer to host it and develop it for symbian, I'm in.

    @guineapirate: The phone and controller are not the focus of this demonstration. The real concept is using cloud computing to run games or other computationally-intensive applications. This would eliminate the need for individuals to have powerful hardware, as the processing is done by a centralized computer. This is illustrated by using a weak system (cell phone) to play a Crysis.

    @xair: Well, basically, it's a new idea of gaming. Instead of us users having to worry about having the best computers, all we need is to have good internet access, with minimum specs just to display the content, which means that instead of having to upgrade your gaming rig every few months, you can just keep on using their service.

    On Black Friday I bought components for a similar PC for less than $300 (including a moderate 22" Monitor). I have 4GB of ram though...


    What the article fails to mention is the operating system adds $50 - $150

    In reply to Windows 7 Vs. Vista: Which Runs Crysis Fasterer?
    This is the worst test ever done! The author of the test is a nutjob and using Crysis as a benchmark? The OS is not limiting Crysis, Crysis is limiting Crysis.I'm sure if you ran the same tests on XP the FPS would be about the same.

    It has been proven over and over again in a variety of real world tests(not just 1 game)that the first build of W7 has dominated Vista.Newer tests have shown build 7057 to outperform earlier builds of W7.Giz's sister site Lifehacker has even posted a blog referring to W7 trumping Vista:

    [lifehacker.com]

    This is just one of many examples of Giz trolling for attention.

    Post SP1...Vista has been AWESOME. The people that still have Vista issues either haven't upgraded to SP1 or running older hardware that. Yes, Vista is more resource intensive than XP, but it IS a better OS.

    @Porfirio Reyes: Well, people not wanting to run out and buy new hardware is the whole point. And Netbooks. So if you can upgrade the OS while getting the same performance and keep your gear, that's a serious win.

    Awesome.


    Look, I have to say that my Core i7 machine is so over the top for me still that my head is swimming from the unrelenting buttery smoothness. -but I digress.


    Yep, build 7000 for me, but I don't have any experience with Vista to hold it against.

    All I know is that just about everything runs and runs well. (Bioshock...wow.)

    The games that are buggy for me are buggy for everyone.

    (I see now why COD 5 was given to me with my OCed 285 card. :p )

    (Gears of War is far more trouble than it's worth.)


    I guess I'm gonna have to check out Crysis for myself...now that I CAN. :D

    ok either way i AMMMMM sooooo pissed that they are not comming up with a strgety to help those who bought into the VISTA hype and getting left out ass in the wind while 7 gets all the praise and adoration. Look Microsoft ..... you screwed customers over with VISTA you need to start leaking out into how you plan to get those user back esp those who bought OEM builds and build their own PC!!!!
