This I can definitely agree with. As I said, Wii, PC and Mac owners are probably the only people I can see buying this and loving it. If you own a 360 and/or PS3, I don't see why you'd want OnLive. They'll have to do something crazy in order to get the 360/PS3 fan's attention.Devildoc said:If it works, it might put sony and MS out of the business unless they evolve, but Nintendo will survive because I doubt Onlive is going to have anything but a standard controller, and Nintendo sure isn't going to let its 1st party franchises be compatable with Onlive.
In fact THE most threatened market if Onlive succeeds is PC gaming hardware manufacturers.
not really same amount of pocessing power is needed, pherhaps more. aslong as people are playing computer games there's going to be demand for hardware manufacturers. they prolly can't rip people off as much tho.Devildoc said:If it works, it might put sony and MS out of the business unless they evolve, but Nintendo will survive because I doubt Onlive is going to have anything but a standard controller, and Nintendo sure isn't going to let its 1st party franchises be compatable with Onlive.

That made so much sense I declare you president of your ass. Serisously console controls have like 8 buttons and then the kayboard has over 40+ buttons to use so which is harder? REALLY? There is the door now walk through it.letsnoobtehpwns said:I would never quit console gaming for PC gaming. I always thought as the mouse and keyboard controls for people who are to stupid to use a fucking controller. Damn, I'm going to get a lot of hate for saying that the PC controls suck!
Yeah Time Warner is a company founded on lies. I rarely get the speeds they claim.keptsimple said:Do you actually get 54 mbps or is that just the "up to" speed? I've lived in several places and the speed of my cable internet connection never lives up to Time Warner's (or anyone else's) claims.
Actually I think the HD consoles are going to take the serious hit, especially after the next generation of consoles hits, that's where people will just use Onlive instead of upgrading to the new Xbox 720 or PS4 or whatever.Quadtrix said:This I can definitely agree with.

Actually since it's a stream, you can play high end games over a low end computer.Banok said:not really same amount of pocessing power is needed, pherhaps more. aslong as people are playing computer games there's going to be demand for hardware manufacturers. they prolly can't rip people off as much tho.Devildoc said:If it works, it might put sony and MS out of the business unless they evolve, but Nintendo will survive because I doubt Onlive is going to have anything but a standard controller, and Nintendo sure isn't going to let its 1st party franchises be compatable with Onlive.

I'm probably wrong but I doubt that there is any game that uses more then 40 keys. Also, it's not that hard to play a first person shooter with a controller.Zedzero said:That made so much sense I declare you president of your ass.

Aiming with an analog stick is just.. unsatisfying and shitty.letsnoobtehpwns said:I'm probably wrong but I doubt that there is any game that uses more then 40 keys.

There may not be any games that use more than 40 keys, but there are hundreds of games that need more than eight buttons. Not to mention the fact that the analog controls make turning quickly impossible, and precision aiming difficult.

my point is that its being streamed from a high end computer/server. hardware still going to be needed.Devildoc said:Actually since it's a stream, you can play high end games over a low end computer.Banok said:not really same amount of pocessing power is needed, pherhaps more. aslong as people are playing computer games there's going to be demand for hardware manufacturers. they prolly can't rip people off as much tho.
Yeah but individual consumers won't need to upgrade their computers as often.Banok said:my point is that its being streamed from a high end computer/server. hardware still going to be needed.Devildoc said:Actually since it's a stream, you can play high end games over a low end computer.Banok said:not really same amount of pocessing power is needed, pherhaps more. aslong as people are playing computer games there's going to be demand for hardware manufacturers. they prolly can't rip people off as much tho.
