the GFX are very impressive. if there streaming the GFX from server side. that is going to make hosting costs High. and Yes it takes Very Very Power full GFX cards to render that. But it also looks like they'd have to have 1 Rendering server side system per user. Translation thats going to be one Very High cost game. That interface will be screwy to say the least.

Yes I think it will be very laggy. Any input from the keyboard or mouse will require at least a roundtrip before you get any reaction. There will be process time and probably also be some buffering so its even worse. I think you will share the renderserver. So, the result with current technology: 1FPS, average reactiontime of 1 second? Still a nice idea, but not for a game.

There are obviously alot of people who use this forum who are much much cleverer then me, or who at least know far more about graphics engines than I do...

I have no doubt that LivePlace, and OTOY, will have it's fair share of problems with user interfacing, and FPS, just like any other engine on the market currently. PE had issues, EU's current incarnation had issues, CryEngine will no doubt have problems, and we will all whinge and moan until some of them are fixed, and then continue moaning while MA, or Creative Kingdom, fix things we don't care about and fail to address the issues we do have...

What I do know is that the video demo shown in the clip is Awesome There are places, certainly the initial city shots, where I was genuinely finding it hard to beleive I was looking at a computer simluation... The attention to detail in some of the run-down areas was spectacular...

I am Very Very Impressed. But what do I know...?

They will broadcast it to you as video. Kinda like citrix, if they have a good compression method i don't see a problem.

well that knocked me out of my seat.

thaught i agree with points made in the thread , once this place gets populated and if your not on a T1 line it's going to be laggy, a bit like youtube at 7pm in the afternoon you cant stream shit on it...

anyway MA get your asses in gear ASAP befor the competition steals all your clientbase !!

It might be impressive graphics but how will it handle physics and destroyable objects if it's rendered server side etc? i think not at all. And FYI the cryengine isn't even working on it's max settings yet, they will when the gfx cards can handle it put out a patch that bumps it up even more. Cryengine2 i supposed to be top notch for like 3 more years so it still has a lot lot more to show than it currently does.
