Slim Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Sick of not being able to afford a high-end graphics spewing machine to play the best looking games, well you may no longer need to... http://kotaku.com/5181300/onlive-makes-pc-...ysis-on-your-tv OMFG That really doesn't make sense to me. First, if it's returning 720p in realtime, it needs a fuckload of bandwidth. Second, a pretty average pc will run games at 720p anyway, it's a stinky resolution for a pc, so the 'no more upgrades' headline is bogus. Third, price. You've still got to have a box, controllers etc, bet that doesn't come to much less than a 360, and then you add in the cost of the sub to pay for their servers... Interesting idea, but I predict a fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual_Boy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Oooh Lag Central. They are quoting an extra 1ms in latency for the encoding/decoding video on top of the usual internet delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cresta Fiesta Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 In-depth piece on Eurogamer today. Whilst I can't see it replacing my main PC, the opportunity to say, for example, log into WoW on any computer anywhere in the world to just check your auctions or run a couple of quests, is quite a tempting proposition. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/gaikai-c...orks-blog-entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
