World of Warcraft running on iPhone
Posted Jul 9, 2007 at 7:37AM EST by QJ Staff

Alan Joyce of EverythingDigital.org uploaded a video clip over at YouTube showing Blizzard's World of Warcraft running on Apple's iPhone. He was able to do it with the help of Telekinesis, a third-party streaming program that allows users to remotely access their Macs through a collection of mini web applications on the phone.

Joyce noted that the experience wasn't that smooth given WoW's textures, graphics, and sound settings among others. Despite that, Alan Joyce mentioned that he could control several actions in the MMO video game through the iPhone interface like receiving and responding to in-game chat messages.

Anyone seeing a future deal between Blizzard and Apple? Possibly a WoW client for the iPhone? We guess we'll have to wait and see.

That's very neat. The weird part is that i actually dreamed about someone doing this 2 nights ago......hmmmmm. Maybe tonight I'll dream about my iPhone being unlocked so i can use it in Ontario with Rogers :D

# this is bull*****.. sry — Guest 2007-07-09 10:38
Failure Nr 1: You can clearly see on the Notebook the character at the login screen is animated (moves left / right a bit) - The char on iPhone doesnt

Failure Nr. 2: YOu can clearly see on the Notebook the character at the login screen has a big bad hammer (sort of) in hand - The char on iPhone doesnt

Failure Nr 3: The "loading" bar goes from zero (not blue) to full (blue) within a secon. I play WoW since 1.5 years now and havent seen this yet (and I got a very fast computer, dual core etc)

Failure Nr 4: At login he zooms to a other character (at about 2:44 of the movie) who has PvP shoulders. Those shoulders are normally animated (fire animation) - I dont see an animation

Failure Nr 5: A text bubble shows upright after. Text bubbles normally dissapear WAY faster

Failure Nr 6: The guild chat is pretty inactive... thats absoultly not normal, specially on alliance side. And also, there's no general or trade chat.



-------------------------------------------



Besides... whith such a bad navigation you wont go anywhere in WoW. I wouldnt even call it "playing"... its more like looking at it.



This (for me) is 100% Fake and prolly is a slideshow or powerpoint sort of.

That's retarded, did you see how much trouble he had with the touch response, I swear to god he clicked each thing that he wanted to click like 3-5 times a piece. It would just be irritating.

I bet he had troubles clicking the right button on his laptop because he had to use his left-hand (and he is most likely a righty).

# its real — Guest 2007-07-10 00:45
This is real. Read his website, it uses a program called Telekinesis, using the mac to run the program.

# not — Guest 2007-07-10 05:32
This is cool, however...



This is NOT running on the Iphone, it is running on the mac, and he is sharing the interface, similar to windows net meeting with remote control, or any one of other remote control programs.



The idea is kind of cool however, and while it would NOT be practical for actual game play (i.e. combat)it might allow you to remotely check auctions or something like that.

# Agreed. — Starayo 2007-07-10 12:56
No animation means either a 1fpm rate or fake.



Even if it was true it's not RUNNING on the iPhone. It would only be having the image streamed to the iPhone.



gj on not spotting the obvious, qj.

# ever used RDP or VNC — Guest 2007-07-11 04:23
Telekinesis is essentially a VNC client/server setup. If you've ever accessed your computer with VNC and opened WoW you will understand that the screen refresh is VERY slow due to the complexity of what's being rendered. In such a case refreshes are so delayed in most cases that it will seem as though there is no animation (think more along the lines of 1 frame every 5 seconds). You essentially get a slideshow affect as it slowly refreshes, like we see here on the Iphone. This accounts for Failure #1, Failure #3, Failure #4, and Failure #5. #6 is nothing more than your experience with gchat (good for you). As for #2... look a bit closer, that IS the staff he's wielding in-game not a hammer. GG. This is both doable and nothing new aside from the fact that its on the Iphone. Grat2u nubz. ;D

Look how bad the interface is!



Poking and prodding away at the unresponsive screen, trying to get it to scroll / zoom!



And can you even imagine writing a long text message on that horrorshow of a screen? It takes him about 15 seconds to write the word "yes" LOLOLOL



SO glad I never got one of those POS iPhones
