1TechCrunch just reported it has received a video of the video game Crysis running on the iPad.
We knew the iPad was capable of some 3D graphics, but running the heavy game Crysis? The game doesn’t even run on most desktop systems! Well, that’s the thing, it’s not running on the iPad.
The game is reportedly played through the cloud-gaming service OTOY which makes it possible to off-load computer resources to the cloud and only stream the input of the device (such as touch or keyboard input) and the output of the cloud computer (the graphics) back to the iPad. In a sense, you’re just using the iPad to control a computer far away.
Is that a problem? No, not at all. As long as your connection speed is fast enough. However, you need a fast WiFi connection to run this, it’s not going to run on just a 3G connection unfortunately.
