OnLive Does What Consoles Can’t

September 07, 2010 in Blog comments 6

The OnLive promise is to let you, the gamer, play games through your PC without having to install the game itself. All of the game's video will be streaming...but is technology advanced enough to let this work properly?

"The promise of constant performance upgrades may pull it ahead of today’s consoles."

    Why pay once for a game to own as long as you want when you can pay indefinitely for content you'll never technically have that is taken away from you the moment you close up your wallet?

    It certainly does what no other console does and that is annoy me every time I hear the damn name.

    I think the only thing it does have over consoles and other PC's is constant hardware upgrades. I mean for your subscription you never have to buy another GPU, CPU, HDD and you'll still get to play the games on maximum settings at full resolution, that is a pretty big advantage but I don't think internet connections are stable or fast enough for this to work perfectly all the time.

    I mean my ISP delivers fast 50Mb/s broadband over fiber optics, but if they think I'm downloading too much they won't hesitate to slow me down a bit and with OnLive and all that streaming they at some point are going to think I am downloading constantly.
