check this video out (at 8:20 they start eve :))

you don't even need a 3d graphics card. just a hd video capable netbook :)
no more installation issues.
no updates needed.
no windows needed, makes the game cross platform :)
i'd switch to that service any second when it comes available.

about 1 Mbit as they say, so with a decent braodband connection you could even "multibox".
(accidentially reported you post :S, damn)

It's becoming more common to have 8-10MBit as standard anyway, so that is less of an issue. This service has exactly the same issues as Onlive, how to achieve reliably low latency, and scalability.
exactly, i saw onlive when they presented their stuff and was amazed. but after these guys even showed eve i'm blown away.
i hope they find some major player capable of setting up a fat network of serverfarms.
imo soon enough this technology will be changing the pc gaming and console gaming world massively.
i could think of MS and Sony or maybe even nvidia or amd/ati to do so since they have the most at stake with this.

Might be good for changing skills, but I think we're a long way from the reliable bandwidth that would be required to fight or even run a mission like this.
They might SAY that you can run it over a 1Mbit line, but then again Microsoft SAY that you can run XP on 64Mb RAM.
you don't seem to undertsand. the server will have massive 3d processing power, whatver you machine you'll use as client will be able to run maximum details and effects on whatever resolution you may choose and it won't make a difference.
changing skills or being in a 400 ship battle will be the same.
i'd guess that the provider for that a service would bill customers by pure processing power that's required to run a game at specific quality settings.

Mmmm, man that kool-aid must taste good.
PS calculate the bandwidth your DVI cable carries. Just for fun.
*sigh* what they do is stream the video and audio signal, just like HD IPTV providers.
their key technology is the ubersome near realtime low bandwidth requiring compressing algorithm.
they're showing it in the video how that technology performs and you claim it doesnt work???
