noob.
Hmm... I've seen that truck in the video before over a year ago

well guys this has been in development for over 4 years now, so if it really has failed written all over it, then i am sure the developers would have moved on ages ago knowing it will never work, but they have stuck at it because it's for real. We are talking about AMD/ATI working on this. With that support you can't go wrong.

That video was made by 3D Blasphemy who are the team working on this Otoy cloud rendering tech.
Otoy developed fan made Transformers ads that were using this tech running in real time so that video posted is real time. Those are the graphics we will play inside this virtual world.
its slow going lolNo, those are the graphics that you will play inside this virtual world. The rest of us have a real world to attend to.
This is nothing new, it was the methodology of previous generations of computing and to be honest we have moved on for a reason. Quick local ray trace processing (requires GFX cards to be designed in a completely new way) is the future of video gaming, not remote processing imo.

It's been tried before, it doesn't work.
What they're essentially trying to achieve is shoving a lot of video down the pipe at you as you issue commands in realtime.
Think of it as a 500 mile monitor cable with hugely slower refresh. Remember the bad old days of 100ms refresh monitors? try 1000-3000ms refresh. You'll puke before you enjoy a game, unless it's solitaire.

Comments said earlier and this.
End of, basically a load of hype.
Also just because it has big backing does not mean it must work

Other than the aforementioned stuff, did anyone else thing that everything seemed too shiny in a lot of places?
I know its hard to get out of the uncanny valley though, has to be absolutely perfect and this just wont work, stuff like the jeans lying down looked fake or full of starch to me.

a lot of negative comments here... thank god there are people with vision to push the boundarys of whats possible on the net. Just imagine if no-one attempted to create what looks impossible.. the internet would not even exist.
The way MMOs / Online communitys are growing and developing things will evolve to much more visual and emersive experiences than just what we have now.
The days of the 2D souless forums and networking sites are numbered... give it 20-30 years and we'll laugh at the thought of the pure txt based communication.

anyone who just shruggs this kind of vision off is not very forward thinking.. hell, did you say 'oh dear' when you first browsed a interweb forum ?
things often seem strange, but soon become the norm.. if a place like this worked with a fully functioning community sharing media, thoughts, ideas, immersive networking, business and gaming all combined it would make much of the internet seem pure archaic.
thank god for innovators
maybe tech aint up to a point to support the vision and it will fail, but it will happen at some point.. I can guarantee it

Where is this damn cloud everybody talk about?
There is almost zero chance this will work until hardware is completely overhauled. It's not me being pessimistic, its just that rendering a scene like that is extremely hardware intensive, and they will be rendering at a central point 10 million times at once and sending it out? It just won't work.
They say themselves you need a GPU for each player pretty much.
And if it does work, its not a good thing. It is the death of everything you currently know.
No graphics cards. Your computer will have a 100mhz CPU to recieve commands from a central server. Your computer will be a monitor, keyboard and mouse for all intents and purposes in the future if some companies have their way.
