Re: OnLive - Savior of PC gaming?

No.......i dont want to sit in fromt of a PC to play a game nor do i want my PC hooked up to my tv...i definitely dont want to not use a controller.

and i know you will say oh you can use a controller on a pc ...NO its not the same going up against people who are using a mouse for certain games

Not tryng to change your mind, but you might have missed this part in the article.

Here is the piece im talking about

"Of course, they'll also be playable on OnLive's micro console, a simple, low-cost device that's about the size of your hand. It's simple tech—there's not even a GPU in the device. It simply acts as a video decoding control hub, with two USB inputs and support for four Bluetooth devices, and outputs audio and video via optical and HDMI connections. The micro console is expected to be priced competitively, "significantly less" than any current generation console on the market and potentially "free" with an OnLive service contract."

Now that is a very smart idea. because you can easily hook it up to any tv.

Looks like they are trying to cover all aspects. A pc is not even needed.

I'm really starting to feel this OnLive service. It's is easy to test out and see if it is for you.

So play your 360......I bet it would be years before this thing ever got to Xbox 360, Sony network subscription levels. But now that I think about it, if this works, it would seem like MS and Sony would jump on the technology. You could have massively powerful games available to the masses.

Re: OnLive - Savior of PC gaming?

I personally would not be too interested in this, but I like the idea because I love PC gaming. OP is right, this may breath new life into PC gaming in general and that would be great.

The only thing I am curious about would be the limitation of modding the game. One of the best things about pc gaming is the ability to apply user made mods. I don't know if that is possible with this service. It is a great idea though and I could see a lot of people going for it.
