I just tried it out and checked the Red Faction Guerilla demo. It's awesome being able to start it up and play without having to download anything. It was streaming at a nice framerate, the quality was fine, and the delay was less than half a second. I'd totally use this if my computer was shitty.
This looks great for demos. I never want to download 1gb+ just to try something out

What do you mean nowhere close to them? I just played Just Cause 2, it was at least medium-high.

SSAO was enabled and so were sun rays. Streaming games at a decent framerate and at that quality with barely any delay in controls is pretty awesome.
It works great for me until the packet loss starts to kick in, then things start to die off and stop. It's a great service, I hope it's still there in 10 years when the tech starts to work.

This. If I wanted medium-low settings, input lag and not having access to the game files I'd play on a console. O and the video compression doesn't help.

That only rules out replacing your main gaming desktop with Onlive.
If you're on a trip, and all you have is a non-gaming laptop, I guarantee you would get bored and try it and maybe even enjoy the convenience of it.
And not a single fuck was given.

Err.. why did you post in the thread then?
Latency too high, lol.
My connection's 100mbit but im too far away...
I like the concept but until they get more stations up in more countries i'm not interested.

That's because Just Cause 2 doesn't require a high performance gamin machine, I had it running at medium on a 8600GT.
But for games like UT3 and Crysis, that's horrible.
Hah, wow. Last week I wrote in the OnLive thread speculating that if the monthly fees would drop, it would be great. It is a sign. I can see into the future!

UT3 is not only older than Just Cause 2, but the quirements are way lower. This can run UT3 fine.

Like Wii60 said on the last page, it depsnds on your internet connection. UT3 looked shitty in the screenshot on page 1, but it looks fine in mine. Crysis would be the same. Maybe not highest settings on DX10, but there's not a lot of systems that can run that above 30 FPS while streaming.
This RUNS fantastic but it looks like a video on youtube, I windowed it like they told me to if it's blurry.

Because that's what it is.
Because its all compressed video.
