I was almost sure there was an OnLive topic already but search ends up blank. Since Ive new 30mbit internet connection I though to give it another look.
http://www.onlive.com/
So just heads up for those who didn't heard about it yet.
OnLive is another alternative way to play games. basicly it streams to Your pc(netbook, OnLive console or whatever) 720p video life stream of Your game.
This means that You dont need any pc power to play a game, becouse it is running in real time on OnLive servers and super compuers. This resoults in plenty of possibilities. Games have no options becouse they are set by the developers.
I am able to run on my pc and netbook(which cant run anything by itself) all the games avaible there, Since most of games have 15-30minutes trial avaible, I could try out Arkham City and Saints Row3 for example, which runs just .. well. It is actually quite amazing to see (maxed?) Arkham City and other games on netbook or weak pc.
Offcourse this would be a perfect solution to gaming industry/consoles as a service etc... BUT, it requires very good latency on connection. Even Tho I have 30mbit, about 0,5seconds control lag is noticable. Especially with mouse. Analog controlls of gamepad make this easier but not perfect. Tho it might be caused becouse I am connected to web via wifi.
And 720p stream video isnt even quite as good looking as real 720 ... Not talking about higher resolutions.
I dont play on it and wouldnt recommend to use it to anyone who owns a console or gaming pc, becouse its useless then. I am just using it when bored to spectace other people and watch brag clips etc.
Ohh and it also is avaible in form of a console with gamepad, so then not even pc is needed and it can be used with tv.
I think its a neat idea and possibly usefull for some people(somehow there is plenty of people playing ), but lets not cheat each other. It wont advance becouse of too high connection requiments and becouse of microsoft, steam and asicly developers who dont want their games, there.
