Or anywhere outside of Seoul/Tokyo! I personally think there’s more scope for it to work on mobiles first. Something like World of Warcraft (IE not a twitch shooter) could work well that way.

The only problematic requirement with this is the bandwidth/internet speed and 4mbps+ isn’t that common in the US right now.

You people realize that he is using an Xbox controller on a mobile phone right? I would like for you to explain to me how he was able to do this… bluetooth? no… wireless? lol wut? no! think it through that video is a fake and anyone that thinks they will be able to hook their game controller up to their mobile phone has no idea how technology works.
And even if he was able to connect to the phone with his controller, the lag… you saw the lag between the controller movements and the response on the phone… its trash… not gonna work

I still believe that Onlive has a lot more potential then OTOY does. I truly believe that the first company to come out with a working model will be the one to succeed.

This new server side gaming looks really promising. I know it’s still pretty early days for this technology, and like mentioned they have some big problems to solve like lag. I’m still excited about this type of thing, exciting innovations in gaming. Can’t wait to try this stuff out!

Lag is going to be the big problem for some years to come, and it won’t be a great experience for FPS and action games, even with a controller. Slower paced games could work very well though – imagine being able to pop your phone on a train table and start playing World Of Warcraft or The Sims 3. Can’t wait.
