The future of gaming: OnLive
Posted on March 27, 2009 in Games
GDC is being held this week and what seems to have grabbed everyones attention after the first day on Monday is the introduction of OnLive a new online gaming service which promises to abolish the need for a powerful computer or a specific console to be able to play the latest and greatest games. They offer to create one unique gaming platform available for access on any TV or computer through the use of the latest developments in video compression to play everything while streaming the gameplay from their servers.
Most people have argued that this will not work as advertised because of latency but the idea is a novel one and it is likely that this is the future of gaming but the question is can they make it our present?
Below are a quick glance at the service and then the 60 minute press conference at GDC:
