[0102106kls]

will it crash can you watch porn like ps3

[externalpower]

it takes away all your choices and freedom.

[vality1]

this thing is going to fail 56% of video game users dosn't have internet

[ShadowwwLFS]

usls

[therealEnrique]

the lag on this shit is going to be crazy

[surfsidet0m]

Not necessarily - they've put a lot of effort into making it fine for all but the twitchiest games, further away from the servers.

[elite335]

how many MB/sec i should have to run that...?

[TkMToM1993]

it says minimum of 1mb/s but u might wana go higher to be safe xD

[kittencomesoutofcann]

i like the idea i reckon the payment will be like u buy the console although they have said they will be bundles which u might get it free and then it will be like say wii points u either pay online or in shop for so many points and there will be a little bit of vat for developers anybody agree? or perhaps there will be bundles which u can download/ or play so much a month reply to me with your ideas please

[smoke489]

Well who could have predicted in early 2000 that in less than 5 years, a site like youtube would stream video endlessly to users worldwide ?

Now gaming is heading this way.

[jh5kl]

with this gaming will become expensive.

[YeorRecneps]

no with this gaming will be CHEAPER. fucking idiot :|

[jh5kl]

no with this gaming will NOT BE CHEAPER. fucking bastard of a shit load of brain with a shit shooting tongue. :|

see, i can do that too

[YeorRecneps]

alright well maybe you could do this thing its called using your brain, if games don't have packaging (which increases the games price by 60%) and are completely digital AND not to go without saying this will eradicate piracy completely, they can make games MUCH cheaper i.e 20-30$ for games that used to be 60-80 at launch. now go fucking read a book or something kid.

[jh5kl]

dawn of war II and risen didn`t came out with 60% price difference on the launch, comparing steam (a only online seller) with the dvd version. and you can sell the dvd version, something that makes it cheaper and you don`t need to keep paying anything. please do not use your brain again. now go toothbrush a hungry crocodile you... elderly person.

[YeorRecneps]

let me just be perfectly clear. steam downloads games that can be stored on your pc therefore can be pirated, so the price is still high. When you elimate any possibility of pirating games the prices will drop the packaging and whatnot are just the icing. I have no idea what you are talking about with that retarded crocodile remark, it just makes you look yet more like a retard, good work.

[jh5kl]

retarded is not to understand the very simple crocodilian comment I made. english is not my language so I might making some mistakes but I think it was clear.

just like you were being clear when you posted: "if games don't have packaging (which increases the games price by 60%)...", so don`t try to cheat, I questioned your concept of 60% increase in price because of packaging. current console games are not pirated (at least in a big scale) still the price tends to be a little higher than on pc.

[Lawrmnky15]

It will be successful because they have already formulated remedies to the supposed problems such as lag, bandwidth use, etc. Not to mention many big name developers have already hopped on board such as EA, THQ, Ubisoft, WB, etc. And it's ability to make a run-of-the-mill computer perform like an Alienware is more than an accomplishment in itself. This technology is far beyond its time for common use. It will work. It's revolutionary but convenient.

[xxcurbyxx13]

while I agree, the only problem is if you have little or no internet connection in you home, then it is useless

[manyakoyuncu]

i dont understand how can we play new released games on onlive without download game

[gothikgamer]

the system is conected trought the internet to super massive computers that processe the graphics, and so on, there for, the games are allready instalead on those machines.

[penprop01]

So is this thing going to make the xbox 360 the playstation 3 and the nintendo wii usless now. I mean dont get me wrong this looks amaizing but im not sure that i like all my video games to be on a internet only. I like to have hard copys of a game, cause is something happens, poof i lost everything i spend 500 dollars on. I mean this looks cool but so did the dreamcast, i still have mine and my 10 favorate games on it, but i think that this system will either do great or be another dreamcast.

[ddl1nz1mon]

You don't know what type of feature they may have to stop that from happening, they probably already thought about it...probably have an account system, all your games that you purchased are saved there. Also I like hard copies just like the next guy, but seriously, I have no room for them!

[blackwarz]

its goin 2 b another dreamcast

[UltimateDud]

exactly what i was thinking, I'm going to wait a bit to see if it gets popular before I look into it

[bigboy9153]

wrong.

Just because it's technology that you have no idea about, does not mean that it is going to fail. It is going to flourish the gaming industry and it's going to be a HUGE hit.

[bmb93x]

man it sound good but they probably wont lower prices like game stop would and uh everyone don't have internet how many people wanna play that at there friends house and there friends might not have internet and how would they now you bought the game and played at another persons house

[Mreyrey]

APRIL FOOLS

[Indecom]

like i just said, idiot, research, it makes you look not stupid! do it

[Mreyrey]

you're the idiot, this thing is not real, try looking for a forum debating about this, its imposssible, and why didn't they talk about this onlive shit before?

wtvr, if its real, its gonna lag like a motherfcker

[Indecom]

why dont you sign up for the summer beta, or check out the gdc reviews here on youtube from people that have tried it, with video footage of it working on the floor at the conference. Before automatically assuming it's fake, sign up for the beta and find out first hand.

[retsnom92]

Actually its not impossible because the military most likely can already do this in there tech. And the concept is very simple, The only problems would be video compression, slow ISP and money. But the video compression has been worked out so it tags on 1 MS of lag. As for the ISP if you got comcast or something like that you totally should be good.

[somesoup94]

OMG you guys are fucking retarded, well actually not really you are just ignorant and unknowing. It uses a new kind of video compression system that sends data to you at the speed of light within the reach of 1500 mile data centers.

[Mreyrey]

APRIL FOOLS

[esspytood]

i knew it...

[Indecom]

Haha idiot, do some research

[IANBUFFTON]

is this suppost to be competing with playstation and xbox? and wii ?

[MonkeyBarn]

Sounds like some bullshit with an outrageous fee. These assholes aren't game developers their salesmen.

[ogdog187]

only fuck retard will buy this. if your internet goes down you can play your games, it going to take to munch bandwith, payin for a service for a game you not really owning, it probably Lag in middle of gameplay, and I rather have a pychical copy of the game.

This going to suck

[esspytood]

"OnLive connects you to game servers through the Internet, instantly sending your controller actions upstream and the results back downstream at blinding fast speeds"

they better deliver considering how rubbish Australian internet is compared to some other places.

[Comptons1989]

Nobody except the continental US will be able to play! At least in the beginning.

[tansin9]

its supposed to have no lag whatsoever and the service is around 7 dollars month with no hardware watch the 52 minute GDC demo

[tansin9]

i think the end of console gaming is coming

you can play on a low end pc or mac and play hd without the video card

[SonicProwler15]

Lol it's ok. I don't even see it. It's a zero.

[xutzu2003]

you all are fuckin retards, cant u document urselves? of course there'll be no piracy idiot....u play ehrough ur pc on a web browser...u have to make an account and then pay REAL money....duuuhhh..and that stupid idiot snprbones ehere did u hear its 50-60 dollars? schizophrenic bastard.... dont misslead everyone...there's been no announcements on pricing

[Comptons1989]

where did you see that will be 50-60 dollars? they didnt say the prices yet.

[comatarmsFTW]

very cool but i don't think this will replace consoles anytime soon i don't think sony or Microsoft is ready to let the games that sell their consoles be available to play through this if this did take over then sony and Microsoft would have to work on awesome games :)

[xenuke]

The Future is here already !!!! I haven't even finished with pong yet. I hope thay have space invaders. Awesome !! Wonder if it will work on my wireless radio set ?

Seriously ... This looks cool.. I hope it does counter piracy and the pricing of the games should reflect this.

Time will tell.

[xxbirdman416xx]

wonder how the graphics look...

[IChopYoEggroll]

Release Date? Price Date? Do you download games for free or use real money to buy them?

[kookiebuger]

hopeful they have halo 3 as one of there gmaes.

[SonicProwler15]

They won't. First party games are staying with the consoles.

If Microsoft gives them Halo 3, Microsoft dies.

[MonkeyBarn]

good point

[IChopYoEggroll]

release date and price??

[SnprBones]

beta - summer 09

relase date - winter 09

price - around 50-60 dollers USA I think

[megamanxu]

i think it should be free when u buy a game LOL

[IChopYoEggroll]

release date???

[BobbleMusicTv]

I like how they say you cannot pirate it.

Obvouisly their out of their minds, Have they ever heard to hacks and Microchips? They will have those little modems cracked and sold on ebay in a jiffy.

[ninjaapie]

Jezus christ all those screens will give you an epeliptic attack!

[omgrckr]

Omg 1:30 looks so cool, spectating.

[QueenJavas]

Whoa
