If I sign up for a trial can I download pc games? I got into the gamefly beta but I dont want to sign up for a membership if you have to buy the games.. I already have steam
Jesus, This is a stupid idea on their behalf. I only see this as a good idea if:
1) Existing Gamefly Members download for free.
2) It isn't trying to ride the coattails of Steam and Desura like a fucking money-hungry whore.
You were good as a game-shipping company, just stay as that. Your retarded PR team shouldn't make the decisions based on whats 'awesome'. You will always be outtrumped by Steam, Deal with it, Gamefly.
I see that in order to download you still have to pay full price for the game. So how is this any different than any other game download service. Why should gamefly customers care when their subscription doesn't include the cost?
i dont understand how this works. iam a 2 game a month subscriber to gamefly. would this client let me download and play all the pc games i want for free under my current subscribtion??
I'm in the Beta, I'll try to clear a few things up.
As of right now you can't download EVERYTHING. Of course you can't download and play PS3, Wii, or X360 games.
But as for PC and Mac games, there are a few really good instantly downloadable ones right now, such as Saints Row 2, Assassin's Creed 1, Velvet Assassin, or Prince of Persia. There are a lot of other downloadable games but they're shitty indie stuff. I'm assuming there will be MANY more games made availabe once its out of beta.
SO, if i do get this for playing pc games, after i download the game, can i just get a no-cd patch or a Gamefly backup player to just own the rented games
i think gamefly themselves are confused about what they're doing. unless they're trying to fight off onlive by providing a game streaming service, how are we able to play console games on pcs/macs?
PCSX2 requires a decent quad core, and that's a decade old console. what makes you think sony/ms would allow gamefly to acquire emulators for their very-much-alive consoles?
I'm assuming it means you would be able to link your Xbox Live Gamertag to your gamefly account, so it could download to your Xbox 360 upon renting it from the gamefly client on your computer. Like how you can buy things on Xbox Live site from the marketplace and then download it on your Xbox 360 upon choosing it there. This could also apply to the Playstation 3 or Wii, I suppose. How does this make no sense?
@Deadboy99 well its just that... its not Microsoft and only Microsoft can do that, they cant just do what ever they want to your console its protected against as if they wouldn't sue when it expires what happens then? you get to keep the game they cant simply go into you xbox and delete it themselves thats called hacking and thats what this would fall under if it was setup like that and so far iv not seen anything to do with this junk on xbox i dout microsoft would even no these ppl exist
This makes NO sense. Here are the words Gamefly uses to describe their service: "Gamefly gives you a revolutionary new way to access the video games you want. All titles, all platforms, all access, available instantly on your PC or Mac."
This makes it sound like you can play ANY game, no matter what platform, on your PC or MAC. That is not the case. Is Gamefly trying to go all netflix and screw their customers over, or what? Try making a video that MAKES SENSE, Gamefly!
Will i still be able to use my PS3 browser, to navigate the site and pick my games? if not Gamefly will be losing alot of customers i got four friends who use the ps3 browser myself included, because we dont have a Computer or are to old (Err) stupid too use one.
I've got the beta for this now, and the only decent game available at the moment is Saints Row 2. Like e0steven said, you can manage your Game Q from the launcher, that is it. They've got a section with free game available on your PC if you're a member, and it's got Assassin's Creed, Saints Row, and a bunch of third party games that I haven't looked over yet. It's fantastic for what it is, because you get this plus the two games. There's just not much of a selection yet.
Ok bottom line is this; it competes with Steam. You have to pay for PC games and they have a limited amount of 'free' PC games that are included as part of your GameFly membership. So far as I can tell it is NOT like OnLive and you cannot play non-PC games on your PC. You can manage your existing game-Q and you can do most of the same functionality as the website.
It'll be worth it if you can merge your Steam games with Gamefly and vice versa. There's simply no point whatsoever for the over 30 million steam users to use Gamefly otherwise.
From what I've read it's not going to be like onlive where you can stream the games via internet. Like Kriss Kross would say "it's a shame, it's a shame alright."
You guys are so dumb, OnLive's game library is absolutely terrible, and since when is streaming games better than downloading games? Last time I checked, I'd rather be playing my PC games at 1080p, not 480i. This is for gamers who've got great gaming rigs, not just great internet connections. Also, you can play ANY game on your PC now. Not just PC games, but PS3 games, and Xbox games as well. The whole, "All Titles, All Platforms, Available Instantly On Your PC or Mac" speaks for itself.
@Conkerkid11 Onlive is 720p not 480i, learn to do some research. And you wont be able to play ANY game on your PC, for various reasons. One, console exclusives. Dont count on Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo to allow this to happen, they'll sue Gamefly to the ground if they try. The only games you'll see from this will be games already available on PC, its just a Steam competitor. And its not instant if its not streamed like Onlive, this is just a rebranding of Direct2Drive that they bought out.
@sw204me shut hell up dud u an ever one here useing gamefly to rent game is it so bad they want to try new things out to help ppl that useing gamefly even more now if u dont like it dont fucking use it
@sw204me Because you pay Gamefly's standard subscription fee ($15.95 p.m. no extra charge for this new service) and play ALL the games you want for ANY platform as long as you are subscribed. Similar to Netflix, Spotify, Rhapsody, etc. Steam only lets you buy PC games and at the game's normal price (not counting their discounts).
$15.95 for unlimited games > $15-$60 for EACH game
@martialfarts31692 So they allow you to download games to your Xbox? I have GameFly, so I'm trying to figure out how this all works, and this video doesn't explain shit.
@sw204me They didn't really explain it much in the trailer. But if I had to guess, I would think they would come out with an App for the Xbox/PS3 (similar to the Netflix App now) So that say if you download a 360 game on your PC, as long as you are in the same wi-fi network, you just start up the app on the 360 and select the game you just downloaded. That would make more sense that playing 360, PS3, and PC games all on the PC.
@martialfarts31692 yea, that would be awesome, no waiting for games, that would be insanely sick, but that sounds way too good to be true yea know? They need to explain this shit better.
What about those who have a Wii? GF should add an app on the system so users can play Wii and GC games without wasting money at blockbuster or family video.
@sw204me After a game has been out for more then 18 months it will be free for download, but ofc gamefly has to get permission to this specifically per developer, so far ubisoft and thq agreed with it.
@Gorgonsmasher Oh that's cool, so instead of paying for it on Steam, I'm paying for it on the Xbox, which that is different than the Xbox marketplace how?
@useevengowanttodo it said all platforms, that's why I asked, I didn't know if they were going to pull a netflix and just download the game onto your console. If you didn't have anything productive to say, then keep it to yourself.
@trabujar Mk thanks, just saw on there that is said all platforms...would be cool if they did what netflix do, just put an app on the consoles where you can directly play the games off of the console dashboard.
@WickedSweetTV "How are you suppose to play the games that you downloaded on your PC onto your PS3 or 360? I've got gamefly so I was just wondering." this is the comment i replied to, if you weren't retarded then you might have an argument
Why aren't they creating a rental service for the PC? Just limit games to 7 days of activation, one (or more, depending on your plan) game active at a time, and 30 days of delay in between rentals of the same game. I'm guessing there's even a way to encrypt the game files so they can't be cracked.
@cattac61 steam is kinda a bitch like that i got on a friends account got Deus Ex but since it was not purchased on my account it does not quite work it is possible its just no one is smart enough to try they would only be gaining money and the people who would crack their game probably torrent anyway im against torrenting so i do not do so
@cattac61 make it 7 day delay and that is the perfect PC rental service. Id rather not wait 30 days if Im at a juicy part of a game and cant afford to buy it.
Ok, for everyone's assurance, this is going to be specifically for PC downloading, the confusing part is if this will be hosting PS3/Xbox360 games on PC. Maybe, it's probably going to either be bewteen, putting the game on a blank CD which would be absolutely stupid, or you're playing Xbox/PS3 versions on your computer given you have the controller hooked up. Maybe I hit it on the noggin, and if so that would be awesome. Hate it when games are exclusively for console, not that I don't have one.
To anyone looking to start a free trial of gamefly:
listen, gamefly has this feature where if you give a friend a link to start a free trial, that person gets a month instead of ten days like they would normally, and you get a free month added to your existing trial. Well, my trial ends in four days. Help me out and omg I will be grateful forever!! so if you're trying gamefly please use this link!!!!: gamefly. tellapal. com /a /clk /10CBFJ <<t(the spaces are so my comment doenst get deleted.)
Where r u basing these facts off of? If it's gonna be a DL and play service you might as well stick with steam. Although it would be fly to play wii games on a PC, that ain't no lie.
Q : you are adverstising digital gamefly online, does this mean I will be able to download a game straight to my console, or only play it online? by which i mean PC?
A : Hello,
Thank you for contacting GameFly. Unfortunately you would not be able to download to your console, the game will have to be played on the PC.
If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.
Seems to good to be true...??? So if I am a member of Gamefly I can now download and play all the games I want? Seems like I could basically own everygame for $20/month...
@CombatMedicRN Actually their flat out stealing Gametaps shtick, not steams. Steam is purely buying, not renting, their "renting" Them. It's really not that hard of a system *eyes gametap*
@ZiMZiLLA ok well Im slightly confused on this. Is it like I "rent" a PC game to download, and it acts as if its a rental game like normal(aka on my gameq, no late fees etc) and then I uninstall it when Im "done" renting it. Or are console games included to download? Or am I so off it isnt funny.
@cooljj82 Technicaly 360 games have been pirated onto the PC before, but as I already said, I have no clue what all the downloadable service gamefly has will do.
Im just speculating based on how in this video itself, it shows a 360 and PS3 section. Either gamefly gets remodoled to this, or 360 and PS3 games have something to do with this, or downloaders just get a new gamefly look to use.
if this is renting PC games then I'm totally down. I have loved gamefly for about 2 years and this is just going to make it better. I hope you wont have to pay extra.
@bryandPR At 0:59 in it says "Gamefly members play as many games as they want." So, I'm guessing that for a monthly fee you can download any game and play it as long as you're a member.
as awesome as that sounds, it doesn't sound realistic. they would lose a bunch of money. that and at a certain point before they download revelation you can see the price tag of $50
@bryandPR thats because you are allowed to buy games as well. it would suck to play a game you like and want to buy and have to re download it from someone else .
Now if only this digital renting system would be available worldwide. I mean, (disc based) console games can't obviously be sent worldwide cause of disc transport issues, but PC downloads can, so they really should consider opening this worldwide. I'd sign up day one. =D
Why don't u do this Gamefly(Not a hater on gamefly) Have actual real numbers you have in. No Availbility and if you click rent and its on your 1 spot in your game q they shipped it to you the next day. Now thats Revolutionary.
Great. I much prefer Xbox 360, and would definitely have to get a more powerful PC with a much faster video card to take advantage of this, but it might be worth it just to have games available at all times, and not having to wait for the turnaround which often takes more than a week.
@MrClericDisciple Like I said before, this isn't OnLIve at all? This is a subscription based to play like GameTap, nothing like OnLive since this isn't cloud based gaming.
Is it just me or are all the games laggy?

Ok, for everyone's assurance, this is going to be specifically for PC downloading, the confusing part is if this will be hosting PS3/Xbox360 games on PC. Maybe, it's probably going to either be bewteen, putting the game on a blank CD which would be absolutely stupid, or you're playing Xbox/PS3 versions on your computer given you have the controller hooked up. Maybe I hit it on the noggin, and if so that would be awesome. Hate it when games are exclusively for console, not that I don't have one.

To anyone looking to start a free trial of gamefly:
listen, gamefly has this feature where if you give a friend a link to start a free trial, that person gets a month instead of ten days like they would normally, and you get a free month added to your existing trial. Well, my trial ends in four days. Help me out and omg I will be grateful forever!! so if you're trying gamefly please use this link!!!!: gamefly. tellapal. com /a /clk /10CBFJ <<t(the spaces are so my comment doenst get deleted.)

Will they have demos to the games when GF streaming goes live? If it's not going to be a cloud computing service then I'm stickin' wit onlive.

@AceDT311 it's not a cloud service it's a download and play service just like getting a game from a store

@nnnjc1,
Where r u basing these facts off of? If it's gonna be a DL and play service you might as well stick with steam. Although it would be fly to play wii games on a PC, that ain't no lie.
AceDT311 6 months ago
Is this like renting games on the PC or what? Because if its just buying it, I might as well just stick with steam.

Q : you are adverstising digital gamefly online, does this mean I will be able to download a game straight to my console, or only play it online? by which i mean PC?
A : Hello,
Thank you for contacting GameFly. Unfortunately you would not be able to download to your console, the game will have to be played on the PC.
If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Juan B.
The GameFly Team

@ZiMZiLLA ok well Im slightly confused on this. Is it like I "rent" a PC game to download, and it acts as if its a rental game like normal(aka on my gameq, no late fees etc) and then I uninstall it when Im "done" renting it. Or are console games included to download? Or am I so off it isnt funny.

@gman5852 I don't understand how you can download a xbox or ps3 game to your pc...??? I really don't even know what this is...
cooljj82 6 months ago
@cooljj82 Technicaly 360 games have been pirated onto the PC before, but as I already said, I have no clue what all the downloadable service gamefly has will do.
Im just speculating based on how in this video itself, it shows a 360 and PS3 section. Either gamefly gets remodoled to this, or 360 and PS3 games have something to do with this, or downloaders just get a new gamefly look to use.

bryandPR 6 months ago
@bryandPR At 0:59 in it says "Gamefly members play as many games as they want." So, I'm guessing that for a monthly fee you can download any game and play it as long as you're a member.

@xhaloownerx
as awesome as that sounds, it doesn't sound realistic. they would lose a bunch of money. that and at a certain point before they download revelation you can see the price tag of $50
bryandPR 6 months ago
@bryandPR Maybe, but they haven't announced a fee yet and the price was most likely there to show that you can buy games.
xhaloownerx 6 months ago
*if they do announce one

@bryandPR thats because you are allowed to buy games as well. it would suck to play a game you like and want to buy and have to re download it from someone else .

Now if only this digital renting system would be available worldwide. I mean, (disc based) console games can't obviously be sent worldwide cause of disc transport issues, but PC downloads can, so they really should consider opening this worldwide. I'd sign up day one. =D

Great. I much prefer Xbox 360, and would definitely have to get a more powerful PC with a much faster video card to take advantage of this, but it might be worth it just to have games available at all times, and not having to wait for the turnaround which often takes more than a week.
