ONlive... has anyone seen this?

I have serously been avoiding all articles and videos related to this new ONlive service until yesterday... has anyone else seen this because.. Im just absolutely amazed by what this means for gaming, think about the way gaming will change and in my opinion- for the better.. OnLive looks incedible, I eally hope they can make this work, there will never be a need for a console or high end computer again... incredible

Incredibly stupid, it won't work It will Flop and hard quote me on this

This is kind of old...

But you'll need good bandwidth and a massive cap in order to play games in HD. Also, i'm still skeptical about the low ping...

Seen what? Is there suppose to be a link somewhere?

Also not everybody has internet so thats missing out on plenty of the consumer pie right their, not everyone has a credit card either...and Im sure you will probably need one to buy or rent the games, also If the servers go down or have a blackout you can't play

Ummmm... yes... yes I have. I like it. I hope it takes off and is able to pull off lag free instant gaming that can be accessed by even a crappy netbook.

Dude, those are the most pathetic reason as to why this service might not be a success. This is the 21st century, not every has internet, but most people do... Not everyone has cars, but gas still sells... stupid example I know, but still similar... in a "that was a really crapy example" kind of way.

They have been working on it for 7 years, it has a ton of support and will work.

Im sorry it might be the twentieth century but this is not a fantasy world, plenty of people might have internet, but not eveyrone has good internet especially in time of recession like this people have to cut back, your just in your own dream land where everyone rides a unicorn and get free internetz.

People would kill if xbl went down for a few hours, and they can still play offline games.....imagine what people will say when onlive goes down for half a day, you can't play any games also if only about maybe half if that of the people who use xbl and Psn actually have online and use it then how many people do you think are gonna use Onlive a all online service

Im telling you we just don't have the internet in this day and age to realise something like this

Too Human was in development for 10 years and had a budget larger than god....>.> did it work???....Rhetorical question...No it didn't

How about we see in about a year, If is successful as you think it will be I will admit Im wrong, but when It isn't I expect you to admit how right I was

Deal, if it fails due to the reasons you have stated her, I give you permission to dig this up and smear it in my face.

little slow on the times arent yeah but yeah up here in canada with a 100mb cap this wont workWhenPicklezFly

In Australia we are behind almost anyone in internet speed but we will be getting a huge upgrade over the next 5 years, finally.

Allthough im not a collector i still prefer to have a physical copy of the game in my hands that potentially lasts a lifetime.

Those who say this will work obviously doesn't rly know how Onlive works. If some1 is playing crysis at the highest settings on Onlive it doesnt just mean that you most have a good online connection, it means that there has to be one pc standing in a server room working only for you and your crysis. Obviously that means that if 1 million people want to play crysis at the same time they need 1million computers to run just crysis, and they dont have the resources to buy that many computers/a super computer that can run 1million versions of crysis at the same time. nc_soldier

You don't even have a clue... it's a cloud server... did you even informe yourself?

It's a bunch of servers, kinda like a super computer... what else is there to know?

It's nothing like what he said... 1 computer for 1 user...

O...M...G... You screwed that up... Please just at least go read a wikipedia page about OnLive so you gain a basic understanding of how it works.

Another reason why PC gamers won't like Onlive is because you wou;dn't be able to make/add mods if you got the game with Onlive

this topic reminds me of a jay leno monologue setup

Blah blah blah blah blah Just announced their service ONLIVE.. have you seen this, have you heard about this folks?

i think streaming/downloading games will eventually become the standard. but many people dont trust in it enough yet, so i think onlive will fail, but maybe 2 gens from now, it will work

Well they only stated that the highest resolution they would output is 720p, they didn't talk about 1080p... But I did found that they would use 1 GPU per Crysis... and there's plenty of GPU that can play 720p for Crysis.

onlive is supposed to simplify pc gaming it only kills off mods......

I pray that it doesnt take off, DD is enough of a scam as it is but then not to be able to own a game at all?FirstDiscovery

DD a scam??? How...

720p is the future!!!1

OnLive isnt going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe 10 or so years from now, but not in the near future.II_Seraphim_II

I never understood this argument. Why would it work in 10 years, but not today? For the record, I don't think it will ever be a viable platform of gaming for me.

I know we're all guessing about how or bad this service will turn out to be, but I think the better argument might be that it could start replacing consoles and PCs in a decade. For right now it will run along side them as another alternative, because as has already been mentioned,not everyone has the bandwidth for this kind of thing (especially without caps).

there will never be a need for a console or high end computer again... incredible
