Otoy brings Crysis to your smartphone

June 23, 2009 | By Surur

I must confess I don’t really know what’s going on here (and who knows, it may be a hoax) but Otoy is promising to bring their server-side rendering technology (like Skyfire) to your local mobile browser (in this case on the Samsung Omnia).

Apparently the game streams over WIFI or 3G, runs in the browser, and the part that rings my alarm bells, requires no client-side installs. OTOY Chief Strategy Officer Mark Tseng says that the company is working on a variety of control schemes, allowing users to control games using a phone’s accelerometer, onscreen gamepad, or external peripherals like the Xbox controller.

Thanks itsy for the tip.

Whoa…OEMs such as NV, Q and PowerVR must wonder why they bother with mobile graphics when some company forges right ahead and comes out with something like this.

This should be amazing, though not quite the real deal.

Good enough though to show off to iPhail fanboys. Until it’s ported to that as well, heh.

*Imagination Technologies not PowerVR.

Try playing games with a 200-400ms latency.

Not going to work.

Nice for other applications, but completely useless for action games.

Yep. This isnt a new technology. Latency has always been the mountain to cross thats stopped high quality games from being ‘remote desktopped’ to smaller low powered internet ready devices.

Wireless speeds are increasing though. 4g is coming and it should put a huge dent in the problems stopping this from happening.

I would say anything over 50ms of input lag is unusable and even that would not be good for competitive games. This is the same junk as that vaporware OnLive.

not saying this will take off anytime soon..but hardocp covered it a few days ago..

didn’t realize it could be used for smartphones as well tho. could be a cool idea if/when the bandwidth gets there to make it possible for lots of people to use it

If you play 30fps games on (most) HDTVs, you're already looking at 120+ms of input lag.
