I feel like this will fail fairly quickly. I don't think people's internet connections are fast enough or have enough bandwidth to be able to stream a whole fuckin' video game, and still have it playable. Unless of course you're forced to play at an ultra low resolution or terrible quality video.

Well that's the thing. It's not streaming the game, but a video of the game in what will apparently be a low latency stream. Hence the buffering comment mentioned above. It does mention being able to stream 720p video too.Originally Posted by srsinternets

Yeah thats what I meant. Not resolution, but just low quality video in general.
I believe it says you need a 5mbit connection to stream 720, otherwise you can just use standard def. It's a cool idea, but they do seem to be slightly over-optimistic about input delay. Even with the fastest connections there's still probably going to be some visible delay.
