Forget Wii U: fancy playing the hottest new RPG at home 'til bedtime, then levelling up a little more on the train to work in the morning? That's the dream - and OnLive swears it's not far off.
DS:
Sometimes life just isn't fair. Vincent Van Gogh went completely unappreciated during his lifetime despite his obvious genius; Jesus - a man who could turn water into wine, don't forget - was nailed to a cross and left for dead; while Steve Brookstein has only ever had one number one single, despite winning the very first series of The X Factor. Now what's that about?
the dreamcast was not amazing:
-It's graphics were in between ps1 and ps2
-the controller felt so narrow and skinny
-no dvd drive
I don't know why people act like it was anything more than another overrated undersold flop of a console. My friend had one because "next gen" and I told him I'm just waiting for PS2.
He always talked about graphics, non stop. Of course when I played it did look better than anything I've seen before, but that was it. The games were ok at best. I didn't like NFL 2K's control scheme compared to Madden's.
Even as a kid I predicted this console would die off in 2 years, well what happened...
Failure is always relative. How many sales makes something successful? "If your not first, your last", or in this case, you failed. I'll admit, I've never heard of a couple of these.
GameCube made the most profit in its generation. I don't consider that console a flop.
I consider a flop to be a product that has a negative impact financially for a company.
OnLive announced that they would be shutting down their streaming service for good at the end of this month, which has unsurprisingly upset some of the streaming service’s supporters. While some took to griping on forums, OnLive user Larry Gadea decided to take action.
OnLive has been acquired by Sony and will shut down all services on April 30th, 2015. Vault of the Gameverse says Goodbye & Thank You.
I like Homefront & Borderlands on onlive but sometimes it lags.. But I have to say their prices are sometimes the same as steam.
Oh yeah this is about 360/ps3 sorry..

Onlive is great, but it just doesn't have enough AAA games to justify a purchase, though they got a killer deal right now, get the micro console and controller for free if you buy Dues Ex 2, and there is value all round, but unless it can get more big games like Battlefield 3 I don't ever see this any succeed any more than it has so far.
I can't wait till SONY and MS comes out with their own cloud streaming service and buries OnLive. I do firmly believe that the cloud is the future of gaming, but OnLive sure as hell won't be mainstays in the industry. OnLive just reminds me too much of that "Phantom" console that tried to get all their games on that system. While OnLive might have succeeded where Phantom failed (actually launching) it will not stand a chance once MS, SONY and eventually Nintendo enter that market.
When I think of my favorite games this generation, more than half are PS3 exclusives, so no thanks.
