Cloud Gaming Service OnLive Set For Launch

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday June 16, 2010 @04:10PM from the money-mouth-etc dept.

Steve Perlman's long-anticipated cloud gaming service, OnLive, officially launches today, finally ready to be put to the test by skeptical and hopeful gamers around the US. After granting some early sign-ups a free year to try out the service, OnLive also announced the list of 23 games that will available from the start, including Mass Effect 2, UT 3, Assassin's Creed 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and F.E.A.R. 2. Perlman spoke at length with Gamasutra about the beta, latency, and potential partnerships with other broadband providers. Future OnLive competitor Gaikai recently announced it's targeting 2011 for its own launch.

Joke post?
Everyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that this will never work.
We've already seen that they graphics they shitstream to you are not high end as they claimed they would be, they're low-middle end.
The framerate is 30 fps if you're lucky.
The latency (and this is input latency as well!) is a joke.
You don't own the games.
Etc.
It's a turd.
