Wow, the gameplay was flawlessly smooth.
First DONT BE SAD. Now WERE SORRY. Jesus Christ get more server!
This is pretty impressive, never thought I'd be able to play games like these in a browser let alone over a 10Mb cable line.

Also I'm in the UK, looks like this service will only be usable for Virgin Media customers :v:

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Wow, this is pretty amazing. I was able to run Dead Space 2 on my shitty HP netbook. Even if only for a couple seconds because it had a delay time of about 7 seconds...
I played Dead space 2. It works, but it cut me off before I could finish the Demo. (I was multitasking)
The graphics were ugly compared to what my computer can usually show. The mouse acted like an analog stick on a 360 controller rather than a real mouse, which was very annoying (Maybe it's the game, I don't know) There was no lag while I tried it. It's pretty cool, but I'm sticking with Steam.
This seems like a better use for cloud-based gaming than Onlive IMO. I'd never see myself purchasing a full game with Onlive (as my PC can run most of those games better than Onlive anyway), but as a convenient demo that takes 30 seconds to load up, the tech has found its niche!
Onlive was shit anyways.

But it's not [b]ACTUAL[/b] fullscreen.

well this is a shitty fucking pageking :colbert:
Worked surprisingly well. And to my honest, it was snappier that Just Cause 2's mouse lag. Though it's pretty amazing how it's basically taking my controls, sending them to a server, rendering the game, and feeding it back to me in flash. My Gpu's usage was 1%, pretty incredible.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;28479742]I remember when OnLive was first announced and everyone said it was a terrible idea.
What makes it different this time?[/QUOTE]
This thing is in-browser rather than on a special program, and you play demos rather than full games.
I really don't see why you'd want to buy a full game and then play it with the imperfect video and control latency, but it makes more sense for demos because you don't have to pay for them, and it's very convenient compared to downloading the demo in full.
This is definitely a fun thing to try out. I wouldn't recommend relying on this for gaming though.
How do I get Mass effect 2?

Sorry for the bump. But why is Onlive bashed so badly? I use it most of the times and its awesome. Its made for people who can run intense graphics. So the internet streams it for them making it faster.

At first it was you have a time limited license that you pay for (FULL PRICE OF A GAME). Now they changed. But I killed my account as I just didn't think it would really take off. Haven't heard much either.

Everything changed. Voice chat was added. Games have a full playpass. And games no longer expire.
Congratulations!!!

I'm just gonna bump this so everyone who haven't seen it can get the last chance.
