45ms is great. When I used OnLive and Gaikai back before Sony bought them I was constantly getting upwards of 150-200ms+.


Latency is dependant on so many variables... I am still not sure about this. Also interesting how many Sony fans have experienced Gaikai in the past... And that it was always a good experience... Not saying coincidence, no, definitely not saying this.


Considering that must be almost two years ago, such a flawless service should be out by now shouldn it?  I mean, if it was perfect two years ago whats the hold up?


Yeah, that's what I also don't get. I mean they have already existing infrastructure, why can't I try it? But as the specialist "iamdead" told us they have to build apps around it. Nothing takes more time than developing apps for an existing service and it's so complex and complicated that US get the apps first, of course. Nothing to do with server farms, peering, infrastructure. It's all there!

lol Gaikai only streamed pc demo's before they were bought up.. it wasn't even in a state like onlive was with accounts and real games.. but suddenly people said they used it and was great? .. it was a proof of technology and it wasn't that good 2 years ago.. it worked playing Bulletstorm and Need for speed the run.. but to say it was buttersmooth? nope..

anyway nice name..

Like I said in the other thread, MS have had RemoteFX running for 4-5 years so they have plenty of experience in getting this sort of thing running.

Please post where I said anything remotely like this?  If Ms has such incredible infrastructure why are they behind Sony for a streamign service? I never even said anytihng about Apps.....................

 

Maybe re-read what i said and think next time.

no, no, NO..... its definitely nothing to do with infrastructure or anything to do wit the actual service, thats perfect and flawless already (has been for 2 years), they need to code the app.... that takes a hell of a long time you know.

O.O

You might have a point if I even said anything remotely close to this

 

Maybe re-read what I said and think next time.

after reading the thread, Microsoft's streaming is better then Sony's without any knowledge of the service other than the code name.

dem console wars

Nobody has said that.

What has been said is that Microsodt has far more capability with capacity for such a service.  You disagree? 

What has been said is that Gaikai was perfect 2 years ago.  Flawless.  You obviously agree with this?

I said it worked flawless when i used it, not that is was pefect or flawless, nothing is, quite the leap of logic you used there. Read my post again and try to comprehend.

How exactly do we know this?

Some of you guys think Microsoft is god-like or something. 

You have no proof to support the very idea that Microsoft (by default mind you) is more capable of this service then Sony or anyone else. None

But lets be honest. You have No information about Sony's or Microsoft's service
