Your source for news on the gaming revolution, OnLive

onlivecloud

Things have slowed down in the OnLive world.  There are still previews and interviews coming out from GDC, but no real new information.  Don’t expect too much news until summer with E3 and the public beta happening then.  In the meantime we have another roundup of articles and interviews that have popped up around the web.

As usual, video after the break.

CO-OP sounds-off on OnLive at GDC

For those of you who are not familiar with CO-OP, they are a weekly gaming-centric show put out by the team that brought us the 1UP Show.  They are one of the best videogame webshows around and they attended GDC last week and are talking about OnLive.  With hands-on experience with the service they have some impressions as well as some takes on how this could change the gaming scene overall.  One thing that seems to be a universal sentiment is that people are tired of upgrading their hardware, be it PC or consoles, and are at least very interested in a service like OnLive.

The segment where they talk about OnLive has been embedded after the jump.

TechCruch OnLive hands-on at GDCWe have another video for you this afternoon.  It is from CrunchGear and offers a look at the hands-on experience.  There are many features that were touted during Steve Pearlman’s GDC keynote and surprisingly, many of them already seem to be implemented and fully functional.  Brags clips are shown here and work as advertised.  Another thing of note is that they are using an Xbox 360 controller made by Logitech for the demonstration.  Interesting.

See the video after the break.

1UP crew talks about OnLive at GDC1UP has put up a video special with a discussion on the big things from GDC and OnLive gets a good chunk of the time.  They talk about not just the technology of the platform, but more importantly, what it could mean for rentals and game spectating.  The coverage starts at the 18:30 mark and lasts for almost 15 minutes.  The video loads slow with no scrubbing ahead and the audio could be better, but it is still worth checking out.

As usual the video is embedded after the break.

    • Tahiri: "but all eyes-on reports seem to point to the fact that OnLive’s is very good" No they don't. I've read many complaining of macroblocking, which
    • Jonathan Downin: Definitely. The anticipation for some kind of announcement leading up to E3 will be a killer.
    • OnliveFans.com: And many people believe that a larger company like Microsoft, Sony, or Google will buy them out. It will certainly be interesting to see what happens
