too early to tell how much danger, of course, but a start-up called
OnLive announced a brand-new game distribution system Monday night
that, if it works as planned, could change the games game forever.
OnLive,
which was started by WebTV founder Steve Perlman and former Eidos CEO
Mike McGarvey, is aiming to launch a system -- seven years in the works
-- that will digitally distribute first-run, AAA games from publishers
like Electronic Arts, Take-Two, Ubisoft, Atari, and others, all at the
same time as those titles are released into retail channels.
The
system is designed to allow players to stream on-demand games at the
highest quality onto any Intel-based Mac or PC running XP or Vista,
regardless of how powerful the computer. |
