OnLive One Step Closer

Posted by Soulskill on from the condensing-vapor dept.

hysma writes "It looks like OnLive, the remote gaming system that streams HD video over the Internet, is one step closer to becoming reality, according to an article on DSL Reports in response to a lengthy video presentation by founder & CEO Steve Perlman at Columbia University. Perlman demonstrated the UI, spectating, using the service on an iPhone, and other features."

    I tell ya, does OnLive have to make their case every single Slashdot article or what?

    Game engines have latency in them... OnLive runs those engines at faster than realtime, so when the packet from your controller gets to the engine 300ms later than it normally would the engine has plenty of time to do its thing.

    All this was explained months ago when the technical questions were asked. This article is about the business question: when are you going to ship?

    It's okay. We knew you were already rendering your response in anticipation of what your prediction engine was going to have been expecting him to write.
