OnLive boss Steve Perlman believes games with visuals as good as those seen in the stunning CGI Batman: Arkham City trailer, below, will be possible on the online gaming tech.
OnLive, which launches in the UK this autumn, allows users to play high-end games using the internet as opposed to a home console.
This, Perlman believes, means games with stupendous visuals could be possible on OnLive, as games are powered by scores of distant servers.

What utter bollocks.
broadband isn't fast enuff, and wide spread or affordable.
Also Onlive compresses graphics to send it down the line now, and only manages entry level PC quality, so it will never do CGI. Thats wishfull thinking.
he keeps shooting his mouth because his product is irrelevant
you are really missing the point. First off it is only streaming video and input. Its like playing a video game from another location. Plus when they have super computers with 3 gtx580s in em... yea they can do something that looks cg. Espeacially with the new unreal engine features.
It means you can play the biggest and best games on a freakn ipad if u want because the hardware isnt your hardware powering the game.
Broadband is fast enough. In some places in california they are already doing 1 gbps ... and in the northeast they already have fibre going at 70 mbps for the same price that people in florida pay for 5 mbps...
Though 5bps is fast enough to do onlive... hell 1.5 mbps is fast enough to do onlive. You've never streamed hd video over netflix before? thats the same concept except ur also streaming your controller input.
I've tried onlive on a 3.5 mbps connection... there is no noticeable delay..
Onlive truely is the future. And game consoles will support it eventually. Watch what happens when microsoft or google ends up buying it.
You guys who insult onlive sound like blockbuster video who said netflix would never make it.. now blockbuster is going into bankruptcy... lol
As much as people like to hate on onlive I have to say it works for me! Less lag now & borderlands is fun on onlive!
You can rent games for a week for about $7 if it's single player that's good for me! Because I will beat it fast!
the closest to this is the samaritan tech demo and it STILL doesn't look near as good as that CGI trailer. maybe in 10 years such graphics will be possible but not now.
