Oh wow. This is the beginning of a real shift in the way games are played. OnLive, yeah, but web-browser based is even more accessible.
I wonder if this will work on a Chromebook?
I have this deep, tiny, seed of fear in the depths of my heart that this is just the very beginnings of the end of PC gaming as we know it.
Console games will be delivered in a similar manner as well. The interface will be less about the hardware it's on and more about the contoler the player wields. Get reliable 50 megabit or better internet all over the place and local hardware as we know it will be no more.
Don't worry Brian, ISPs inability to provide decent speeds to the majority of households, coupled with their asinine bandwidth caps should put a crimp in services like this.
I don't want to live in a world without PC hardware, partly because I think that's half of what constitutes my 'furniture', such as it is.
That technology is really swift though, and could really open up gaming in general. Wonder when we'll see the first release out ONLY through cloud gaming?
