So the app says that the minimum requirement would be 5 mbit internet access and a "compatible controller",
while "high performance" would be 12mbps and DS4 (lol, "performance").
Further details:
I could use the app while in Germany - if anyone is interested in trying out the app, contact me.
I couldn't actually stream because they required me to add payment information for the free trial and didn't accept my paypal details.
What I found out was that for the connection test, they use the following ips:
100.42.108.79
100.42.96.17
Both IPs are ARIN IPs so they belong to the US which seems odd because I would've thought that they would do a bandwidth test with a datacenter nearby instead of using servers in the US.
But of course that doesn't mean that they also use US servers for the actual streaming because that would be incredibly dumb as this would result in >100 ms rtt.
The app itself isn't that bad but you can't actually even search for a game?! I mean, WTF? You have to scroll like crazy through all what is available. This is not really consumer friendly.
edit: whois information (strange to see that there is still Gaikai registered at Arin...)
