| Something like OnLive would be a great demo service or broadcast gaming system though, I hope someone does that sort of thing with it. About the only thing that worked well in my OnLive trial was the whole "watch another user play this game" feature which was great and definitely superior to youtube or something. Would I pay for it? Hmm I don't know, I think it would have to be ad supported. |

It will be near impossible for OnLive to have games like this that require very fine and split second decisions and control:

It should be limited to slow turn-based or RPG style games that do not require much skill.

I can hear thousands of people who understand the reality of the Internet yelling all at once "I told you so!".
Sweet vindication.
Some games where high lag is not an issue will work fine on OnLive just fine. Just not the high profile games where latency matters a lot.

Waitaminute... I went back and read what Cutter said... Did you just admit to having an alt?
Possibly. More likely he's just sad not everyone is happy settling for a shitty gaming experience, and he feels lonely.

We'll be discussing the reasons behind this variance in our upcoming OnLive feature.
Here's the reason: it's called The Internet.
"Even with this mammoth connection, in our tests OnLive never meets anything like the claims made for it by company front-man Steve Perlman, on the record as describing end-to-end lag as being under 80ms and 'usually... between 35-40ms'."
What? Say it ain't so?!

| Like some people already posted. This is hardly unexpected, the lag is noticable and significant. When you add up the fact that all the processing and input/output is handled serverside once you get a substancial subscription base the performance is going to go to hell in peak hours.... |

Funny thing is that many game sites that apparently got money for their "review" say its perfectly playable.
I was suspecting as much... |

I tried to play Dirt2 and many other games (demo time is 1/2 hour) using OnLive on my 6mb DSL.
The latency is TERRIBLE, I would say 100-150ms is about right. For driving games that is a deal breaker for me. I also don't like smudged compression everywhere. Nothing is sharp and clear detail like they were saying it would be. (Then again, I do have clinically better than average eyesight.)
I have a year free in the founder program. I'll check back with it in a week or so. Maybe things will have changed. (I'll probably check it out at work at some point too.)
Latency:
When I can click something and almost get to two-onethousand I get terribly irritated, Don't you? I still hate most Unreal engine UI because of this. |

Fios is not common yet and none of these tests were done with a massive online game such a Bad Company 2 or BF2.
Good fucking luck. This won't get off the ground and be cost effective by any stretch. |

Cutter,
You are such a jack a$$. I've been on board with the system since I signed up months back and was given the free game. Used my coupon code for Just Cause 2 and it's been great. Speed is the same as it is playing on my local machine. Not thrilled about the fuzzy graphics but it's still early.
My connection is okay. Basic cable service from Cox here in San Diego. Nice service but as others stated, the pricing model will be tough to work through.
I'd love to see a flat monthly fee for all the games.

I was in the beta test of OnLive and i can say input delay wasn't an issue for me. It was very tolerable and after a while you stop noticing it and adjust to it. You won't be pixel perfect precision of sniping across the map with un-zoomed railgun, but for virtually everything else its fine.
However, what totally kills the service for me was bandwidth requirements. Games are fixed at 1280x720 resolution. I have 15down/2up internet connection. When you launch OnLive each time it does its quick bandwidth test and then uses however much bandwidth it thinks you have. Every time it used less than 7mbit of bandwidth games would become an unplayable blurry mess. Turning around or doing any action that would significantly change the screen would require 3-5seconds for the picture to recover details missing from the compression artifacts.
At ~7mbit or more it becomes less noticeable.
And as long as OnLive is running, it's using that bandwidth full throttle nonstop. If you play for 2 hours, it'll be using downloading at 7mbit nonstop. ISPs will really hate this service unless they can directly peer with them. |

I've been playing AC2 on it for a couple of weeks now, I've got the least expensive comcast connection I can get in delaware, and subjectively, it's been working great. I love it.
Really? And the fact that you signed on to Blue's today and this is your first post doesn't make it at all suspect, does it?
