Various stories about gaming clouds have been coming out of the ether, here's a demo of one of these on the way....AMD's OTOY, basically what this is is gaming over your web browser so you don't need a huge processor, you don't need a huge graphics card, you can even play on your laptop over a wireless connection.

This is an early demo but as you can see it's definitely very impressive.





You'll eventually hear more about this on the official website...

Cool. Unfortunately this paves the way for more subscription gaming. Pay-to-play and other types of services that suck up your money, pennies at a time, indefinitely.

If you look on YouTube for "OTOY", it seems it's not just for games but it's actually more designed for graphical work. Still very impressive though, I reckon it will work best on laptops where graphics aren't so great.

Ah, so have the power of a Pixar like server farm for a monthly rate or some such?
