OnLive App vs. PS Vita - 56k

The servers powering OnLive are no doubt much, much more powerful than the PS Vita.

These pictures here prove that quite well.

PS Vita

OnLive

To be fair, I only posted screenshots of games that are actually playable with touch controls. DiRT 3 supports touch, but in my opinion, the game is absolutely unplayable.

These screens were taken with my Atrix over a wifi connection.

It definitely looks better than those Vita screenshots. If OnLive is usable with the Xperia Play, you could arguably get a better experience than with the Vita, assuming that you have a fast enough connection for it to work.

Vita's big draw is power and "better graphics" over the 3DS. These OnLive games clearly crush that.

Eww, touch screen controls.

Lol,Harry Potter lego.

Does OnLive work wtih the Xperia Play? That can use traditional controls for everything.

Thats like comparing Killzone 3 to Halo Reach in graphics :P

Lol,Harry Potter lego.

Yep I edited my post.

The gamepad is supported unofficially.

So you don't *have* to use OnLive with touch-screen controls if you have the right phone.

sigh. You know, you do have to PLAY these games don't you?

I'll admit that it is certainly coming along, it just isn't anything that I want. I'm really tired of convienience taking the place of actual quality.A dedicated device will always be better, but people don't want to use a single brain cell to do anything these days.They'd rather trade fidelity for ease of use.

PC graphics vs handheld graphics, I wonder who would win...

Easier is better in some cases. And you shouldn't let it insult intelligence. PC gaming, hardware upgrades and waiting in lines for the next big release are just a waste of time to me. Why should I have to do those things? Entertainment should do nothing but entertain. I have a big library of games that take up absolutely no hard disk space, I can play the instant games are released, and I can access my games with any device.

Quality? Quality can definitely come from OnLive. OnLive is not only convenient for users, it's convenient for developers. Developers can define the hardware themselves. They can even develop games based on hardware roadmaps and OnLive will have a server that meets them there.

Not interested in either

I don't really know when will people take On-Live seriously :lol:

The Vita screens are not representative of the graphical quality of the Vita. You took screen shots at the Vita's resolution but stretched them to a size they were never meant to be. I can guarantee you that if you were to view those games on the Vitas five inch screen (five inches right?) the games will look far more clear and far less jagged.

I don't really know when will people take On-Live seriously :lol:

I think my new ROM messed up my wifi radio. I get horrible quality/performance even when sitting right next to the router :( Nice to see the app actually does work well, though.

I knew all those previous Uncharted Vita screens were bullshots....tagyhag

Vita easily. So sad that OnLive can't even best handheld graphics.

Not really sure what I'm supposed to be seeing here - all of those shots look horrible.

Though the OnLive ones make me shiver simply because of touchscreen controls.

If viewed from the actual screen size, Vita games look good to me. I imagine teh same goes for Onlive mobile games.

This is probably the first gen of handhelds which I could substitute for a console. I hope Sony and Nintendo know what they're doing.

Peace Walker, a fantastic looking game...

Looks rather awful in exported screenshots. I'll just wait until I can at least dawdle around with one at an electronics store before passing judgement.

LOL, so you're saying that a non-HD handheld that is not even as strong as the Ps3 can beat PC games when it comes to graphics? Little do you know that the graphical and video quality of Onlive games depend on your connection...yep.LastRambo341

I'm saying terrible quality streams produce horrible graphics.

You act as if I'm not aware of that. I have more than a capable connection for OnLive. Still get worse than console graphics and lag.

I've played a good bit of Peace Walker on the PSP and it is not what I'd call a pretty game. Very good for PSP, but pretty poor overall.

So...
PS Vita > PS3 > PC
Lol, you're so funny.
You do realize that OnLive games run on custom built PCs, right?
