no one knows if it will work. just dont speculate lets see if it can.

History lesson: When televisions first came out radio and the movie industry said "this won't work" and "we're not worried".

So if OnLive can give a quality experience Reggie should be crapping his pants.

For a person who doesn't zero for Nintendo I agree with him. But seriously Nintendo do you really need this guy for your company anymore? I mean the Wii is selling tons and it has nothing to do with this guy. Drop the salary you have for this speaker and invest in a few games.

What would Reggie know about Crysis?

Its a fair comment.
When you put it to real technical scruitiny, the onlive service is not gonna deliver the immediate response many games require and won't even deliver 720P signals to most without lots of compression corrupting the picture, never mind 1080P, which is what new technology should be delivering. Theres no doubt this kind of system will make a huge splash in the future, but the technology and the infrastructure around the world means its only suited for a select few in ideal conditions. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I highly doubt it.

ok fans and fantards, its time for just for the recors once again.

Reggie Fils-aime joined nintendo late in the gamecube's life cycle and since he's been there, he's made a lot of claims people laughed at, but for the most part he was right. such claims as:
DS will beat PSP, Nintendo will be back ontop with Wii, Mario Kart will top Halo, and Wii Fit will be a huge success. So Reggie knows what he's saying, and he knows rhat this is nothing more than a modern day SEGA channel, and casuals rule the market, and i don't see casuals choosing this over Wii!

This has been just for the Record.
Angel Winged Brawler signing out.

lol from a guy who represent a console company who have only 3or4 good games and most of these games doesnt have online feature... Come on!
The exact title should be "regie want the onlive to fail"

Just think about some of the biggest games of all time, or even just the last couple generations. Zelda, Mario, Metroid, God of War, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo, Halo, Fable....and so many more. ALL first party. Why would they start producing for OnLive when that would kill their console revenue?

Answer - They won't

I'm sorry, but I like some Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft games. I want to keep playing them. If they make me buy a console to play them, I will. Consoles aren't going anywhere.

I hate Reggie, but this time he really is right. Currently digital downloads are not very practical, especially in distributing games. It not only takes a lot of time and a lot more money (think of all the servers that'll have to be running 24/7) and there's simply not enough space. Most people aren't going to shell out money for something that will need to have a massive HDD which could crap out at any second. Besides, most people prefer a hard copy that they keep and will be able to rely on

"By for a state-of-the-art shooter game like “Crysis,” which relies on a hair-trigger response, you may as well be playing with dialup Internet connection, he said. “We’re not worried.”"

Because Nintendo has a state of the art shooter named Crysis or even like Crysis, a robust stable online network, and a High-Def console to make a statement like that.

Not that I think OnLive will work either but get bent Reggie. Use some reasoning and logic that doesn't make you look like the ass you are next time.

In fairness now I think we should listen and take what he has to say to heart. I mean he did give us Wii Music and all!

i wouldnt be surpised if we saw the other 2 (MS,SONY) say it doesnt work then its pretty much ganna be

PS3,XBOX 360, and Wii fanboys vs Onlive fanboys...
