It`s 2011 , we play games instantly with onlive , and Gaikai at the same time , on a touch based full multitasking OS , not just any games , Crysis 2 and Deus Ex Human Revolution , from the cloud , 0 discs 0 installs,whilst we play the piano , check out the weather ,and plummeting stocks , and generally mess about with more mundane tasks , all without dropping a frame on the Windows 8 dev preview.
This is on the Lenovo X220 T , control is using touch , pen keyboard and red thingie , the video is recorded using litecam 3 which records at 30 fps , so you may see some dropped frames as the games , and the OS run far faster than 30fps limit set by litecam to record the desktop.The games are streaming across wifi N and neither GAIKAI nor Onlive drop a connection even though they are running at the same time.
The finest Windows 8 experience will come with your adoption of cloud services of which Gaikai an Onlive are just 2 heralds . Could you ever conceive of running Crysis 2 maxed out in a browser WHILST running Deus Ex Human Rev , whilst doing all the other nonsense in the video above , flicking away one game to instantly play another and then going back to the first? .
Windows 8 finally gives us what we really want all the benefits and comforts of a touch based OS like iOS and Honeycomb/ICS married to a full operating system , and one which for me is the killer reason that Windows 8 will succeed allows you access to ALL the upcoming cloud based evolutions of how we work , rest and play . Flash you got it , no need to wait for an App , or Steve to send a imessage from heaven , browser based work and games , you got it . Want to take advantage of your 20 core dual cpu set up you got , or the pen and touch screen on your Thinkpad you got it ..And for those who still believe computing began when someone invented the App , there will be plenty to obsess over as the store kicks in , and you or I can get in on the act which is the point of the developer preview ... not withstanding highly serious and technical multitasking gaming tests like the one above !
I still cannot get over the detail and speed of GAIKAI , the one caveat of course is whether you make it past the queue for a server and the likelihood of java playing up in your browser. Onlive is well into full swing even in the UK , all consoles selling out , and weekly offers kicking Steam in the nuts and bolts..
What I really need is an ultrahigh res tablet screen , maintaining the 12 inch ultraportable screen size but with a 2500 by 1600 res , roll on next year....
More Windows 8 Cloud tests to follow....
