  • HI 2009, I'm from the future. Here in 2012 Onlive is a free service and it is a resounding success.

  • nerd

    

  • Your just jealous that you cant get the Onlive Micro Console

  • ...my thought is that your a fucking follower who needs to get over themselves

  • haha whats with the quotation fingers for "service"

  • my thought is that.

    your logic failed.

    NOOB

  • ur mom will fail

  • @RetroShinigami Not sure what you are trying to say...English may not be your first language so I ll let you slide. But still...You words make no sense.

  • @RetroShinigami Like I said, exception not the rule. There are still people who collect vinyl record because of their nostalgic value but they are few and far between.

  • @RetroShinigami Sorry to burst your bubble but most people are moving towards digital copies of everything - movies, music, and eventually having everything in the cloud - it a matter of convenience. You might be the exception, not the rule.

  • I know you made this video pre-maturely 2 years ago. But today Onlive is going on pretty smoothly. They adding games and no longer require a subscription (they never required any subscription fees). I don't think it will fail but the larger their library the more likely people are going to adopt to it. Give it 3-5 years time and then talk.

  • Your An Idiot... Onlive Is Gonna BE WAY BETTER THAN Consoles Because Consoles Get Old As Technology Evolves...Ass Hole.. Onlive is At its Best.. As Of Right now 8/4/2011 i also not plan to waste 400 $ on Something thats gonna be old in 3 years

  • LOL a kid who plays video games in HIS BEDROOM is predicting the future of a BILLION dollar company...EPIC FAIL VIDEO!

  • also ALL video games will lag if someone else is on a internet device

  • ONLIVE IS FREE

  • I can't trust a guy who WONT TAKE THE SALES STICKERS OFF HIS PRE-BUILT COMPUTER!

  • @GreenFox1505 I love you.

    Also, Herp, OnLive is free, you just pay for games.

  • @0bbypwn they didn't start free. it was $15 a month when he posted this.

  • his opinion  naw j/k. Onlive will succeed since they already have 3rd party groups.

  • YUP ONLIVE FAILED, IT HAS OVER 100 GAMES NOW

  • hmm getting games through the internet? I'll stick to Steam.

  • when u buy the game u cant keep it itz  onlive=(

  • Pretty good points here, but I'd have to disagree with the "collector" argument. That just seems subjective; I'm sure many people would enjoy the benefits of a digital game copy than a "hard" copy. Oh well, let each man have his own I suppose, I see where your coming from.

  • I got a xbox slim with 250gb memory. I buy my games from the Xbox market and it's more reliable then onlive any day. Onlive is just redundant...

  • can i pee on your forehead

  • ok you've probably noticed this by now( i hope) but onlive is free to install. you only either pay for one whole or pay monthly for ALL of their games.

  • is he gay onlive is getting millions of dollars and the games are sooo cheap id rather buy their games and miroshit is awalys raising fees on me.

  • is he gay onlive is getting millions of dollars

  • You don't actually own the games, the "service" takes them down after 3 years, so they will lose all nostalgia value.

  • try to use onlive before you start criticizing it. something you don't know about onlive: onlive doesnt allow you to play multiplayer with people who arent using onlive

  • Yeah but Onlvie barely have a good library of video games. Shit MVC3 is not even IMAGINED to be on Onlive, let alone Street Fighter or Sonic. Which sucks Major Balls, so for Now ON Live just Sucks..RIGHT NOW until then I might change my mind if they have more library of Video Games.

  • I agree it will be Epic Fail , Number one reason why it will fail is cause people wanna own the games not lease them , and they don't wanna be dependent on Internet alone. So yes this is no brainer , Onlive will Fail and they know it too , that's why they still in beta.

  • it all depend on the gamer but this is a great option to have i don't see myself getting a onlive console 1. you need a broadband internet service to play your games 2. you need a computer to play your games..........and most people out there don't have both and beside if your going to a friends or relative house that don't have one of the two your fuck stuck with an onlive paper weight console i like to own my games and when i'm finish with it sell it back so sumone else can enjoy it to :)

  • My hard drive is small, and I don't have quite enough money for an upgrade. My motherboard's also gonna go out soon, and if I stress my 2007 tech enough it'll only go out faster. OnLive doesn't stress my PC a bit, even when I'm playing Metro 2033(the most hardware intense game to release since Crysis). I'm a PC gamer, I plan on splurging for an $800 gaming PC eventually, but OnLive really doesn't give me much reason to do so. I'll only get a new PC when mine dies because of the service.

  • 1. u dont have to pay for a subscription, and games are normally 20 percent cheaper than they are at stores

    2. ive never seen the server down

    3. it only needs a 5 mb connection, which everybody should have

    4. you don't need to download games to your computer

    5. And you don't pay 60 dollars for the game. You would pay sixty dollars if it was in stores, but if it was in OnLive it would be for about 40. Also, you can play Onlive on any computer.

  • I dont like onlive too, but I think that will work with some persons, well, also, pc gamer users have the game "literally", and an onlive user just have "video streaming of the game"

  • well i just want a gamecube to play SSBM...and Metroid

  • well i just want a gamecube to play SSBM

  • i rented splinter cell for 3 days and that was kinda cool!

    the problem was lag! the picture looked like shit!

    my down load speed is 15mbps! Once they start

    charging for a subscription i am done with them.

    i will try them out for a bit longer. i am using their

    pc service.

  • As much as I appreciate this misguided attempt at being hardcore, OnLive is the future. And your arguments are seriously weak. No matter how much subscription costs, it's still cheaper than having all the consoles and a PC. Also, compatibility with OnLive it will put PC's back on top of the gaming hierarchy, where they belong. All of the technology necessary is already there. And no, nothing like this was ever attempted. The closest relative would be the Phantom, and it's nowhere to be seen.

  • Onlive will succeed, as far as your bandwidth argument goes look at WoW they have the bandwidth to support over 16 million gamers, it is completely and totally possible. Also the subscription is an option now For $9 a month you get almost ALL the games in their library, they don't need support from the other consoles they are a whole new console, there will be people (like myself) developing specifically for THEIR service. Viruses affect ANY game. Most gamers are not collectors.

  • you are so wrong. first of all the subscriptioon is OPTIONAL..and it won't fail..douchebag

  • RETARDed people. theres 1 server, it has inf abilites for 100$ thats all they pay for 1 month. and all controllers are remotely the same, and Where the fuck did you get "subscription" from? wtf dumb asses

  • @travazoid911 apparently you used to have to pay for a subscription and buy the game but now the subscription is optional and you get a whole bunch of games for only $9.99 a month

  • wtf not 60$ its cheaper cause its online and streamed, and wtf, the percentage of people on pc have steam, no cd , Get with the rest of us.

  • heh noob console lovn fag...

  • Probably one of those people that talked all that shit about Nintendo and the Wii, not knowing NIntendo knows what the fuck they are doing. Nintendo brought gaming back in 80s and owned the 90s. just because you want to conform to the hot shit of the week like Call of duty and all the FPS hype doesn't mean what you oppose will fail.

  • theres a free version for onlive and i got mifia 2 for 15 dollars and have better sales than steam.....

  • Nah. It actually is pretty good.

  • MOST OF YOU ARE FUCKING IDIOTS. Its called an opinion, and he has some good points(missing others tho). I think whats gonna happen is its gonna be an option for people, but not a huge switchover for everyone.

    So go back and play with your iPad now peopl. kthxbye.

  • no major console games... EPIC fail.. no xbox or playstation or nintendo formats.. wtf are they gonna play? sega? lol

  • @robdmhaze yeah we are the lowest of the gamers cause we actually have LIVES unlike you who just sit on your ass all day and play halo, call of duty all day xD ahhah

  • Ok first people dont like to pay a monthly fee. well xbox live has one 8.99$ a month i belive. well onlive has a 5$ per month and and on xbox you still need to buy your games and i played the beta and it is the best thing since shoes. OK SO S.M.D

  • wery bady video.no wach

  • YOU SIR, ARE A FUCKING MORON.

  • Your reasons are completely off, OnLive will fail but not because of the bullshit you just talked about.

  • this guy probably is the same guy that said that sony cant get into the gaming market, or microsoft lol remember when there was no microsoft in the gaming world i do. i also remember when sony said they will enter the game market. most people said they would fail, bwhahahahah. live in the now. i bet your a wii gamer, the lowest of the low gamers...

  • @robdmhaze is that why i own all of their systems???

  • @16BitJunkie now u do after the fact, dont try to hide it....

  • @16BitJunkie ignore the fucks . shits gonna fail.

  • @16BitJunkie becuase you own them does not mean anything... just means your a consumer..(or gamer) and want to play games. does not mean anything to your thoughts on how the console will do economically. but thanks try again.

  • @16BitJunkie

    I own every system since the NES, and that doesn't mean anything.

    Its a matter of giving things a chance. Remember Sega Channel?

  • @robdmhaze Rofl Wii lowest of the low? Console kids are low period.

  • @scatmanwfm yes consoles for gaming suck in my opinion too but the wii is a joke, its games suck, it was all hype about motion control then you played the LAME ass games they made and realized this is a piece of shit and in noway stand up to what nintendo has produced in the past.

  • @robdmhaze Oh I agree. My mother bought a Wii against my advice (Lol) and it sits in the living room and collects dust. I tried a few games on it and it doesn't do anything for me but then again I got a 360 as gift and It's been played twice.

  • my wii and 360 (all gifts) sit doing nothing, well actually i use my 360 to stream videos to my tv from my pc, but i dont think i have played a 360 game in 1 1/2 years. also the new motion thing for 360 will still not change my mind, i actually dont like motion controlled games i find it gets in the way of playing, you need lots of room, and if you move the controller off screen cause u dropped your hand cause it was tired waving in the air then it takes some time to find your control again

  • @robdmhaze i think PS3 AND 360 only gamers are low and sad those who play all consoles like meh ARE TRUE GAMERS :D you noob

  • @gamerTonester console gamers are lame, if you think of yourself as a gamer you play pc. no true gamers would ever play console pieces of crap. you fag noob.

  • @robdmhaze your the noob you shouldnt jump to conclusions i play all GAMES

  • @gamerTonester its "you're" but thats ok. console noob, trying to talk trash , go back to your baby games. pathetic console noob.

  • @robdmhaze dude your hilarious i subbed

  • @gamerTonester hilarious console noob

  • @gamerTonester your gay ps3 rocks!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @jordanator6734 yes im gay for ps3 stupid trolls like you shouldn't jump to conclusions

  • There's nothing "stopping you from still being a collector"

    Live with the times and stop being stupid!

  • LOL @ this guy

  • Comment removed

  • @cromwellsimon people are going to buy Kinect because it looks promising, its different, and most importantly Xbox has proven themselves and are followed by millions. OnLive has done nothing but start. I support them but as everyone should know by now, you never get the first of something. because something will go wrong

  • @BionicUnicorn77 the games are cheaper than any you'll find in stores. granted I don't have the facts right in front of me but my friend told me these games will cost roughly $15-30. Not sure if thats completely correct buy my friend usually knows his shit

  • onlive is aiming for people who have crappy computers so that they can play newer games without having to upgrade their computers

  • Whats more likely than "Changing gaming as we know it", is "Destroying modding communities as we know them".

  • This service is going to fail, but the reason is other services like steam. I used to love my boxes like you 16BitJunkie, but now after seeing how awesome steam is, I always buy my games on it.

    Another thing, half of the world (Myself included) do not have the bandwidth and ISP stability AT ALL for this kind of service.

  • Hows does it taste? yea.... your words how does it taste? because onlive is the SHIT! yea you failed.

  • Which other ones are there? Besides OnLive, which companies stream games.

    inb4 Steam and Direct2Drive because those are downloads which are the same as installing a disc, just over the internet.

    Also, the advantages of STREAMING games is that you can play any game on any screen as long as there is an internet connection. Crysis was played on an iPhone with Wi-fi, that's pretty amazing. While, you wouldn't want to play that game in particular, that just leaves more options for developers.

  • AIR QUOTES MUCH!?

  • Well today is the day it came out and server is working smoother then when I was a beta tester. I am guessing your a fanboy and you don't give a chance for anything, you enslaving yourself from having the best. Looser get a life.

  • @AnimaTheSavager enslaving myself from not playing games that i can already purchase and/or have already played???

  • @16BitJunkie well your wrong already lol, they have just signed major deals with almost all major publishing companies. and has the most launch titles ever. plus you can play for 3 years before getting to the cost of xbox 360.. or ps3. are you a consloe gamer is that why u think it fails? i guess you'er upset you paid a shit load of money for you xbox or ps3. its ok. your mom paid for it...

  • @AnimaTheSavager hahhahahhaha you said it brother.

  • Wow. You're a fag. Stop making videos.

  • I hope you guys know that playing a game OnLive will cost a shit load of your internet money.

  • First off if microsft was going to sue they would have already. Second why would a new game service want help from copetitors?and you said that you want material possesions when you pay 60 dollars for a game, obviously they won't cost that much. There is virtually no lag due to the speciallized servers made just for onlive. Finally this is revolutionary because it will be faster, cheaper, and less complicated than the other systems. Next time do your research.

  • I agree with you all the way.

  • dude your stupid nerd this shit rocks and its going to make buyin games cheaper there taking out the middile man with putting it on disk

  • Internet connection is going to be faster and faster over time , so if today there are not many people able to use it.Tomorrow , there are less and less of that.

  • onlive and otoy will RULE THE WORLD

  • they may send you a free box and manual for your "collection" :P

  • I do foresee it taking off. I have very little doubt that it will become a huge success, as a matter of fact. How do I know this? I'm in the beta, but because of the NDA I can't say anything else other than everything they claim is true, and it is very awesome. About the digitalization thing you mentioned, while I feel you, this will not get in the way of you enjoying a game. You sometimes forget you don't have a physical copy when playing ;) The pricing system is another matter...

  • You could even play OLv on PS3 or the 360!!!. Just that OnLive wouldn't dare to butthurt Sony or M$ asses!

  • This looks good, i mean it could be good. But the prices are too high.

    I mean its made for people with low end laptops and mac's, where playing games like crysis are a distant possibiltiy, this is meant to make it possible without £1000 for a good PC to run it lag-free.

    Same with other games, as for the comment where "if someone fucks with ur intenet it will make it lag"... well that happens with any game online.

  • @christian02020

    R u retarded? You have to pay $15 a month ($180 a year) and you still have to pay for the game you download. That's more than buying a console if ur a hardcore gamer. PSN is free and Live is $50 a year. You can't win if the servers down because you can't play offline. No one smart will buy this.

  • not everyone wants to be a no life, dorky video game collector. most gamers want their games fast... they dont want to have to go to the store when they might not even have the game in stock. also because of the recession, not everyone can afford a 300$ console or a 1000$ pc, so this is also a good way for gamers to get their games cheap! that is why i think onlive WILL WORK!!!

  • @christian02020 I agree. as the onlive people are saying, they are not trying to get rid of consoles, they are just trying to put netflix-for-game things in peoples homes

  • @christian02020

    Not going to the store makes you look like a anti-social bitch....

  • @christian02020 "not everyone can afford a 300$ console or a 1000$ pc"

    Lol maybe you might want to do some research before you say stupid shit like that. You can build a pretty nice rig for under 500 bucks I'd much rather do this anyway and buy steam games on sale then pay 40 bucks for extended renting of shitty streamed videos.

  • 16bitJunkie. No. No.

    You are wrong, and time will show this.

  • LOL@Because you won't have anything to collect. HAHAHAHA! Get a life dude, f'real.

  • its his opinion so u get a life

  • @grade70race FUCK YOU ALSO

  • Good for you... it will still fail.

    A monthly fee + having to buy games... lol

  • sounds similar to xbox 3shitty :p

  • Cotinued

    Most people won't have onlive on its on, it wont replace the playstation and xbox but it will do its thing happily on it own. Onlive will just be PSN and Xbox live but 10 times better.

    Plus if Onlive is struggling a little it can always franchise out.

  • On demand gaming is the future. It will be the equivalent of interactive TV in the gaming world. We have cinemas but we still made TVs, We have DVD and Blu-Rays but well still made on demand tv.

    It wont kill or hurt Sony or Microsoft, they will just become all in one entertainment centres and will do really cool things in extremely sexy ways. Onlive will making online gaming and everything associated with it absoutely sexual and Nintendo will follow up the rear with the causal gaming market.

  • Continued:

    Most people won't have onlive on its on, it wont replace the playstation and xbox but it will do its thing happily on it own. Onlive will just be PSN and Xbox live but 10 times better.

  • Do us a favor and come out from that rock your hiding under.

    Onlive WILL FAIL.

  • the title should say "my opinion about onlive"

    but still good vid bro.

  • This video is totally your opinion. Not everyone is a collector like you. No everyone has virus in their router like you. Not everyone isn't a cheap bastard and can't pay for a subscription. And most importantly you don't even own the console you can't give me reasons why it fails. The only that fails is you. Good day shat,,,,

  • virus in my router? LOL "not everyone isn't a cheap bastard"...am i comprehending that correctly? gtfo fairy

  • @16BitJunkie ...Did you just call him a fucking "Fairy"?! ...Gay...

  • @xCrzycocox Cheapt to pay for subscription ? You think building a gaming rig or paying for console + games is cpeaper ?

  • @xCrzycocox no shit its his opinion

  • None of the console makers will "give support" to OnLive? Oh shit, really? You mean they don't like having their business taken by competitors? XD

  • heres an idea. What if they let you download a copy to USB? I agree that service isnt lookin good, but i think it would awesome to have acopy of my games on my flash drive. The, you could access file from usb, and play game stream by accessing it as a shortcut?

  • some vaild comments on this video but people said MP3s would not work because people would still want a physical item and thats been shown to be untrue for most people.

    Also most games on consoles are not made by the console makers so if this takes off developers will jump on it as it will be easier to get their games to the consumers.

  • @infernalcross LOL love you too

  • When this comes out i think your provider will

    charge you more fee soww this is kinda hard!

  • I To, Like To Hold A Game I Have Bought In My Hand, But I Hate It When It Gets Scratched & You Have To Buff It Out If You Want To Play It Again.

    I'll Let Outher People Be The Trail Blazers Before I Decide To Try It.

  • As far as playing this on a high-end PC I don't realy see the point, but for people who can't afford a PC like that, or for people who moves around alot and doesn't want to bring a clumpy stationary PC (or Mac) I think this will be great. IF it works that is. Becouse playing Crysis on my little laptop would realy be mind-blowing!

  • Almost resembles the X remote copying the name? Sony and nintendo won't like it?

    Wtf I don't think sony and nintendo like the 360 either and oh yes it resembles the 360 remote perfectly WTF!?

  • Who cares it is a controller plus the 360's is the most comfortable.

  • i dont want to be a nerd or geek but u said 10 reasons u said 1

  • onlive will either take off or just die from the start....

  • @mattman696 die from the start. im sure.

  • Are you going to be playing LittleBigPlaney later?

  • OnLive is a spam!! lol jk.. but it will fail...

  • Well Citrix has been around for years now and that works fine running over a WAN! Onlive is really the first people to step forwards and say lets do it with games.

  • if onlive works an they git the wrights 2 alot of sonys games like microsoft did with final fantasy Sony would b royally screwd.

  • You make some valuable points but you have to remember, all your negatives against Onlive are speculative and not based on fact. Until the service gets launched and people start to use it, no one knows what the service will bring.

  • Pay $60 for a game, with onlive i expect it to be around 20 tops (less middle men and piracy + more competition).

    And here we get the real reason you want to be a collector so you are dissing something against your self-interest.

  • No input from microsoft... Yet they are running MS only games. How?

    Furthermore why does a service need to cater to these three companies?

    Gamers and Bandwidth - You posted this on youtube right?  Youtube uses more bandwidth than the entire internet did in '00 and that was in 2007.

    Fucks of your computers? What do you mean, if someone fucks with my computer not only will it not play games i could lose valuable data - With Onlive all you need is an internet connection. (BTW, QOS)

  • they are running third party games that have no contract with microsoft...

  • @16BitJunkie Nice Reply lol That guy is an idiot.

  • Onlive will be a great service!

  • its called copyright, sorry i cant take you seriously if you say "fuck" all the times

  • I support On Live

  • this video fails

  • You fail.

  • why do you think nintendo is selfish do they not want other game cousoles making games have thier characters why do you think

  • nintendo and microsoft have helped this service nintendo gave them world of goo and mocrosoft gave them the ability to play on the pc ???

  • world of goo isn't owned by nintendo, and giving them the ability to play on the pc isn't a big deal at all...i edit with sony vegas on windows and they are microsofts rival...

  • lol do you own a wii ?

  • used to

  • sry to over fill

  • edit : theres ten

  • this is my list :)

  • (1) first thing to think about you have no idea how much items in the gaming community if your saying things like this because most of the USA is in times has hardly any money to upgrade then buy games and then keep up with patches

  • (2) yes the service seems copied but when can you play a decent high end game on most pc's

  • (3) IF you are a collector you could at lease have a petition to have on live mail the game you perchased. and finnally if you have a company such as microsoft or sony threatened by this the most logical thing to do is buy and own the ONLIVE

  • (4) MOST people say it will fail but if you think about it mainly the people that dont see things eye to eye with some one that is in the medium low class in economics

  • (5) yes it will hurt a lot of companies ATI AND NIVIDA will still be ok because the servers still needs GPU's wich might i add ATI AND NIVIDA makes it only comes down to which will make the first move

  • (6) yes it takes some internet to use this but even ME a medium low class can still buy a 3mbps connection perfect for sdtv quality

  • (7) so what if there is more companies its more than likely to fail because this is the first highend instant play industry making it harder for others to start if they have the same technology theres no difference

  • (8) yes i will agree to the fact that servers may go down but if you do plan to purchase and want the physical material look at (3)

  • (9) i remind you that this is a new comapany but they will make major adjustment through the beta for that is what its for and will have a major boost in cash the first 3 months or more.

  • (10) ONLIVE is just a term but it is no where near the name Xbox Live!

  • well this will probably just be for pc gamers only and I dont think xbox and ps3 players will go into that game style

  • I agree with your observations however all of you have to admit if it comes out succesfully it will rape the shit out of any other system.
