The majority of people barley have internet speeds good enough to stream a game in 1080p, let alone 4k :P That's not even accounting for data caps and throttling from service providers.

and thats why High Efficiency Video Coding is somehting we as gamers need to take a look at

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
I'm honest the main issue i see if you have +50ms latency whch would result in 100ms going to and then from the server. altho deciding to press a button and then pretting it is with most people already +200ms

5 thats what the codec does |
This codec is not lossless
theres a big difference in picture quality between lossless [from your console or PC] and lossy [streamed over the internet]

Totally agree. It will be interesting to see how streaming goes over the next few years. PC gaming has already become a primarily digital market so it will likely be the first to switch. Console gaming i haven't a clue; It's going to depend a lot on Sony/Nintendo/MS. I doubt we will see them completely rid of the console model, they make too much of the royalties. However, give it 5 years and i could totally see a super cheap streaming only version of the PS4 and X1.
Or they could all go PC only and make me a happy panda :D

oh wow ye sorry just saw number that like 64% of the americans are with an isp with a data cap wow.... that just feels outdated to me really

HEVC or H.265 is not magic. It can reach twice the efficiency of h.264, however how much of that can be achieved at reasonable quality with real time low latency encoding remains to be seen. If that works then you still need twice the bitrate of a 1080p h.264 stream, for 4x the resolution, to get to the same so so quality that you currently get for game streaming. And add another 5mbps on top for lossless compressed audio.
Ok let's stick to lossy audio, 10mbps for low quality hevc 4k video and 1.5mbps for lossy dts, 11.5mbps = 5.1 GB per hour of gaming. It's possible, but why would you get a 4K screen to get an OnLive/Gaika quality game experience on it.
HEVC could double the current quality of Gaika though, if low latency real time encoding becomes affordable.
Your assuming everyone in the world has a fast internet.
Jesus, are data caps that common of an issue? Internet services are pretty crappy here, but there are no data caps, as far as I know. I'm surprised there is such a thing in other places.
