Earlier this evening, as early adopters across the country started getting acquainted with their iPads, a very interesting (albeit short) video landed in our inbox: Crysis running on the just-released device. We've embedded the video below. No, Apple hasn't secretly packed a state-of-the-art desktop graphics card into the groundbreaking device. We're told the game is running on OTOY, a service that uses extremely fast computers in the cloud to handle the game's graphics rendering and then streams the output to your computer via the web (which means your computer, or in this case, iPad, needs a relatively small amount of processing power to run the game).
P.S. the thing that mainly interested me is that OTOY bit.
More interested in knowning if OnLive would run on it as the two are similar. Ipads touch screen doesn't to be a probable user interface for most games though.
