OnLive CEO Steve Perlman has admitted that the Cloud gaming service isn't ideal for hardcore gamers that want to play high-end titles.
Dean Takahashi of VentureBeat writes: "OnLive has teamed up with British game retailer Green Man Gaming to resell subscriptions for OnLive’s cloud-gaming subscription service. The deal is the first of its kind in which a game retailer resells OnLive’s online bundles of games delivered via web-connected data centers, or the cloud."
With all the recent subscription services increasing in popularity including EA Access and PS Plus, The Game Fanatics decided to take another look at OnLive and how it could be the dark horse in the video game streaming race.
I still have onlive and compared to psn now it seems faster response time, and the ui is tons better. Imho.
Samit Sarkar of Polygon writes: "War Thunder, the free-to-play military MMO from Russian studio Gaijin Entertainment, is launching today on CloudLift, the cloud-based gaming service from OnLive, the latter company announced today.
CloudLift, which OnLive debuted this past March in open beta, is a subscription-based service that allows players to "lift" a limited selection of Steam titles they already own to the cloud, and then stream them to a variety of devices without needing to download the full game. Those devices include Mac- and Windows-based computers, as well as TVs and Android tablets. Because CloudLift is integrated with Steam, save games are synced across devices."
Were they not spouting Crysis as playable maxed out in full HD?
lol what's the point then ? because the game that does not require a high end pc are playable on a regular PC already and demo exists since over 15 years in the pc world ..
i ask again ...what's the point of onlive ? now he wants us to believe it's a demo plaform ? i don't buy that
This is better for a business man that travels alot..
I guess Crysis was just a staged show then? Because I seen tons of videos of people playing Crysis with onlive. So this service is for sure a waste of everyones time. I knew this thing was going to be a big old fail. Thanks Steve Perlman for that paperweight you gave us. This was the only thing this thing had going for it. This service was supposed to be able to let you play high end games on the highest settings. This is all it had going for it. What a joke.
