so that was what guy kinda looks like now this is something the future it's called Gaikai download and what we've been doing here is we're going to install the first chunk of this game locally and then stream the rest what we're playing the idea is that well when you decide to buy again Gaikai you're not gonna want to just play it all you can get it on your local computer but instead of having to wait for that giant download you can reduce the amount of time you're spending waiting and start enjoying the game just after a few minutes here we've got FIFA 12 we're already in the game start playing in at moment while it strange the rest installs it on our computer just took a click there in the browser to get it start long term what guy kind of looking at doing is a hybrid model you can actually start playing instantly see the guys clouds streaming and then water streaming it will install the first part again and then what's the first part of the games installed will start playing it locally well you stream the rest of the install so what should we user to see in this process we need to start playing and when you're done so now we're going to show you how it works we're here on the guy can't download a web page and we're going to install Dragon Age 2 takes a look over here and grabs that install button click save it up comes the process and over here and the Windows Explorer window you can see the dragon agents problem and it's already populating the computer with these temporary files intact and here come on here come on over here at the install window and we're at three minutes up two minutes is dropping rapidly until we can actually start playing this game while the rest of the files are delivered the computer you can have it fully encapsulated on your machine
