WHAT DOES IT EVEN DO?

Sure, its a future 500$ paperweight

I will continue to post this in all OnLive threads until all discussion of it ceases and you braindead faggots and viral marketers stop praising this blatant investor scam as the second coming of Jesus.

IT BRINGS YOUR DEAD RELATIVES BACK TO LIFE

BITE THE WAX TADPOLE.

Also, isn't it a good sign that the only bad things people can say about it have to do with not believing it?

>>29109513
I HAVE NO RELATIVES, AND WHY WOULD I BREAK MY OWN RULES.

It is a great idea, if by great idea you mean "Another shitty idea trying to use 'the Cloud' for things 'the Cloud' should not be used for."

Be wary of sensationalistic claims from startups. This shit is the new Pixelon.

Probably a pump and dump scheme as well.

Don't believe the hype; don't buy into the viral marketing. Inform yourselves.

>>29109459
I doubt its an investor scam. My friend is in the beta and has one of the TV units, said it works wonderfully on a 4mb connection.

>>29109610
Cool story bro.

OnLive is interesting.

It's been a few generations since we've had a competitor device to laugh about.

The Phantom was getting a bit old there.

Modern day 3DO.

Is this the future?

In theory it's a cool idea. Also, everybody has Verizon 20/20 FIOS internet service in that theory.

/v/'s gonna be shocked if this thing explodes onto the market.

But it won't.

>>29109325

SHIT WILL NEVER WORK GODDAMMIT...worse gimmick than wii

>>29109610
Sure he is.

>>29109610
erm. the beta hasn't started yet.

>>29109452

lol, you think this thing is going to cost $500?

>>29109610

MY DAD WORKS FOR NINTENDO

and no

why do people keep posting this shit

THE FUTURE IS NAO

>>29109963
Exactly. They said it might even be free with a subscription plan. It's not going to be more than $30...

If I had ANY money I would. Poorfag here.

lol

internets

In all reality, it is a very, very good idea. Never having to worry about hardware ever again? Awesome.

Until you realize that the video game is streaming and will most likely be staggered with awful graphics or have excruciatingly long load times if you don't have a top of the line internet connection.

>>29109325
Back the fuck off! Make a console or something, i dont give a fuck i already called PC! Goddamn it fags these days huh /v/?

Oh btw Gabe Here

>>29110336

Yeah, even high-spec games are going to look like shit when the video feed is compressed

IT CANNOT WORK
If such advanced streaming technology worked, then why the FUCK is it being applied to video games before more important uses, like medical procedures?

>>29110410
720p isn't THAT bad.

>>29110336
>top of the line internet connection
This does not exist in large countries, where I assume all of their servers are going to be.

>>29110413
You want surgery over the internet?

>>29110413
It is, but none of you fags do any reading outside of videogames to know this. The tech has been around for a while, but it only works on small, low-traffic networks.

>>29110348
Hey Gabe, How come i cant stream Half Life 2 from my browser huh? Yeah fucking source gtfo! Love Bill.

WHAT IS THIS
I DONT EVEN KNOW
SOMEONE?

>>29109325
>More than that, OnLive overlord Steve Perlmen has said that the latency introduced by the encoder is 1ms. Think about that; he's saying that the OnLive encoder runs at 1000fps. It's one of the most astonishing claims I've ever heard. It's like Ford saying that the new Fiesta's cruising speed is in excess of the speed of sound. To give some idea of the kind of leap OnLive reckons it is delivering, I consulted one of the world's leading specialists in high-end video encoding, and his response to OnLive's claims included such gems as "Bulls***" and "Hahahahaha!" along with a more measured, "I have the feeling that somebody is not telling the entire story here." This is a man whose know-how has helped YouTube make the jump to HD, and whose software is used in video compression applications around the world.

Sorry to burst your bubble...

>>29110494
High definition, low latency connections are excellent for medical science and surgical procedures, allowing for a more senior doctor or surgeon to provide instant advice or assistance, even remote control of certain tools like endoscopes.

That sort of stuff isn't advanced enough to run over the standard Internet yet. Usually it's done through "fat pipes", custom closed-links between locations, away from the standard internet.

Now why exactly would there be better video game streaming tech than medical streaming tech? It's simple. There isn't.

>>29110453

It has nothing to do with resolution, it has to do with ugly, blocky compression artifacts

>>29110579
God dammit, now I want it to work just because that guy said it wouldn't.

I doubt they would beta a product they believe probably wont work, and they are scammers

Everyone who hates online is a butthurt consolefag.

what is this i don't even

>>29110515
Streaming on closed networks is a whole different bucket of cabbage than streaming on the internet.

Seeing as OnLine has been confirmed to work on a small network at GDC, that still doesn't mean it'll work over the internet.

I do read up on things.

>>29110579
> introduced by the encoder is 1ms

well, sure, but then the stream has to travel across the internet too.
lol buffering

Why do you fags care about this piece of shit. Half of you are going to find a way to pirate this shitty paperweight. Don't ask me how but you all will find a fucking way and if it goes mainstream all of you will bitch and moan about how it is killing gaming just like you do with the Wii.

>>29110820
>Pirate
>Streaming service
>Subscription based

Goddamn you're fucking retarded. We're not upset because BAWWWW WE CAN'T AFFORD IT. We're upset because we hate fucking con artists.

4 MB/s streaming. 250 GB monthly allowance.

Yeah. It's not happening.

1. Get shitty idea
2. Start company
3. Make stupid people believe in it
4. Go public
5. PROFIT!!!

OMG IT CAN'T FAIL

i'm not the best scammer in the world but wouldnt a beta expose how shitty it is?
