Bandwidth, on the other hand, will have a greater affect. I tried the Mass Effect 3 demo through Gaikai, and for the most part, it looked good, much better than what my PC could handle lol. Until I started using controls, at which point, my upload speed was crap at the time, and it slowed the gameplay down. It wasn’t until a few minutes later that it finally decided to recalibrate my stream to a lower quality (as in the picture was slightly blurred, but was much more playable and still looked decent).

After that, I tried the Rayman Origins demo for like a minute, and that looked nice and clear and ran perfectly fine, so I think my bandwidth eventually improved.

With that said, the technology is promising, but I still think we’re a ways off from having a full-blown cloud-based system.
