Controversial games streaming service OnLive will launch in the US on June 17th backed by Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, THQ and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Details for the cloud-based gaming service, which was unveiled amidst much attention at GDC last year, are to be given in a Wednesday keynote this morning at the GamesBeat one-day event at the 2010 Game Developers Conference.
The serivce launches on PC and Mac, and costs $14.95 a month.
Major publishers have already backed the service - and while specific titles, pricing and revenue share models will be made public closer to the E3 launch, McGarvey told us that a few of the launch games include Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed II and Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, as well as THQ's Metro 2033.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Please work the way they claim it will, id really like it especially at those prices!
Edit:
Wait a second, they said the it will be 14.95 a month but then mention game prices on will be announced later... so its 14.95+ the games? Thats stupid unless the hardware is free of course.
Good luck getting it to work outside the US, we don't all run on high speed Cable, some of us still use Victorian Copper Wiring strung on telephone poles (me ;__;)
actually no one in the US will be able to use this with out lag unless u have t1 speeds. not sure if regular cable/dsl will be fast enough.
I really want to try this out for myself. If this indeed works, then this could open up a whole new arena of possibilities. The thing is, I do like owning hard copies of my games and I don't completely trust this digital movement, but that's just me.
...to FAIL.
And at such a ridiculous price....$14.95/mo. WITHOUT THE GAMES...they'll fail faster than expected. LOL...and people complain about XBOX Live @ $4/month.
