It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
Things like this don't come cheap like the article mentions. If the price is right, I'll be sure to pick it up.
I personally don't see OnLive technology making any sort of a big presence in gaming, I think it will remain a niche thing if anything. Their are so many things that can go wrong, not to mention it will take years to properly roll out over lets say North America.
will be interesting to see if they can pull this off...
This got an awefull lot of buzz out of gdc and then was nowhere to be found come E3. I doubt this service will take off the way they hope it will.
It's an ambitious product. If it's cheap, it'll sell, I think.
