Haven’t heard much from Gaikai lately, but one of their head honcho’s (David Perry) posted a picture on his blog showing Blizzard’s “World of Warcraft” running on his new iPad via Gaikai. Some doubters question its authenticity:
While the screenshot is amazing, there are doubts to its credibility since iPad’s browser doesn’t support Flash. Unfortunately no video of the game in action was provided. However, the concept surrounding Gaikai, and the implications for browser-based games that are graphically intensive like World of Warcraft are fascinating.
The obvious answer is that it’s not in the browser, but Gaikai has developed an iPad App for just this use. If so, it really could make the iPad a popular tool for gaming (if they can overcome the typical requirements of external keyboards, mice, and controllers).
