Re: Onlive Gaming and streaming said by swintec:said by KrK:And there was .5 to .75 second delay before your instruction occurred. It would be unplayable. Well yes, but with those pings (500-750 ms, if my calculations are correct) most any application would be unusable. Those numbers are also not even close to real world. Many people use VoIP and other latency sensitive apps with no issues at 20-40 ms...Would it be playable then? Many people today play FPS games with latency in the realm of 100ms and it works fine. 20ms to 40ms is considered very good. -- "How do you tell a Communist?

That is more than supportable. but we are talking about that latency added between you, and your console. I happen to know that my reaction time on average is about 400ms. If you add another 200ms of latency between the time I hit jump, and I actually jump..... It will be extremely visible, and unacceptable in comparison to a local console.
That is another consideration that many may not be looking at, the competition. This will have to perform, and compete with local consoles. I don't think it will fare well.
