Joystiq: OnLive Founder Wants You to Be Skeptical

Early last week, a new gaming startup was announced, kicking off GDC with an immense focus on "cloud computing" and, specifically, "cloud gaming." Everywhere you turned, people were talking about OnLive. "Can it be done?" or "Sounds too good to be true." You may have heard some of this debate on Joystiq's podcast or in the comments on their announcement post. They gathered up a lot of that skepticism and barged into Steve Perlman's office and demanded answers. The interview was quite long, so they will be bringing it to you over three days, beginning ... now.

and you know it, penny.
lol.

i think you believe its possible, and will happen, i just dont think you care, lol.

wibble5525d ago

I'm not skeptical. I believe it works. But that doesn't make it desirable.

I'd rather play my games in high definition without artifacts and with zero lag.

DragonWarrior_45525d ago

Id rather play pc games on this then having to upgrade my pc every 2 or 3 years. Ive seen vids on this service and it seem on par if not even better then xbox live.

I will remain detached until it is running outside of the perfect conditions in which we have see it as of now.

I don't know why sony would want people to sign into their service as if sony ownS the game.

gold_drake22h ago

not sure if sarcasm or not, but they do own the ip tho. ha.

thorstein21h ago

They're review bombing because PSN is required to play multiplayer.

Unlike some sites have claimed, it's not a launcher, it's just an overlay.

It's a bizarre thing to review bomb over since anyone can play it the single player game without it.

It's a single player game. The MP is bonus material.

I know it’s not like every other company requires people to sign into their account. S:

gold_drake22h ago

sigh.
just make it an option, not a requirement.

StormSnooper20m ago

Yes just because all other companies require you to log in doesn’t mean PlayStation should be allowed to do the same.

gold_drake7m ago

thats a weird thing to say. if all the others require you to do it, why should they not be allowed to?

how about we dont make it a requirement, period?

Christopher22h ago

Sony made the mistake of requiring a login for their service like EA, Take2, Microsoft, Rockstar, and more and by being named Sony.

I'd be more supportive of this drive to push back against secondary logins if people were actually criticizing the biggest offenders out there. But this is just controversy for Sony, not for the plethora of other companies.

Why can't you just recognize this as a step forward, why because it's Sony everyone need to prove their loyalty to the cause first before they attack them, Sony always needs to come last for you

Christopher1h ago

Because they immediately stopped at Sony. I wholeheartedly support the movement, but gamers aren't moving forward with it. And that's why I'm rolling my eyes at gamers who think they're fighting the good fight. They're not. Just pounding chests and letting the worse offenders get away.
