i think it can be done

but the quality will suffer from the things mentioned like screen demensions and image compresion and of cource the lag

still tho with those drawbacks i would think there will be a massive demand 4 it cuz of all the bored@work peeps that want to own some noobs

there are so many great familer games and so many gamers

It has just launched in the UK and I had a go on it. Horrible, laggy mess and visually, the quality is shite. The input lag IS noticable and makes FPS style games impossible. Worse yet, the moment I signed up, I was greeted to network errors every few seconds (my internet is with the fastest, most stable ISP in the UK), which pauses gameplay until it re-buffers.

The one thing I really do like is being able to snoop into other players games and see them in action. Obviously they're having just as much a horrible time as I am, but you can at least see a game in action before buying it. Just not on Onlive, obviously lul.

Anyway i'm sure the network dropouts are due to the high demand at the moment and theres a 30 minute free trial on most games. Oh and you can buy DX:HR for a quid if you want, amongst some other decent titles. Definite potential, but in it's current state, completely unusable for me.

Good work on the heads up mate, saw summat on HotUKDeals about the launch and I was wondering...

I played it here from work once and I agree the lag was quite noticable. It's ok if you're not playing a twitch game but as soon as latency becomes an issue it doesn't play well.

It's still impressive that you can play this way at all though, even with the delay.

Must have missed this thread back in 09 :smirk:
Idea is interesting and good, but yeah, my first thought is they might have underestimated the advancements in computer tech in regards to the spread of high speed interweb connections. Or the other way around maybe... either way, there's obviously way too much stuff to push down a line.

They should have just made it a youtubes for watching other people game it up... could be a market there and it sounds about 10 times easier to pull off.

it's almost like they tried to pull this off at the wrong time.

I think the idea would have faired better at the time the new console generation and their new games started rolling out.

That way people who rightfully didn't bother to upgrade their system in the last 6 years, now found themselves with an array of new game titles that required a new system rebuild.


Currently, it was just going through unnecessary loops to play games that are 90% developed for aging consoles and posed no hardware challenges.

Because he was probably like most managers who don't know what they're doing: they thought the appearance of growth is more important than actual growth. In short: they expanded too fast too soon because salaries are expensive if you aren't making enough money on your products.

Yeah, they had stiff competition from Gaikai too which I find was a far superior product. Onlive can be credited with being the first to try it though. I still think streaming games is going to be big buisness really soon.
