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.

Gizmodo OnLive hands-on

Many are very skeptical of OnLive even working, and if so, how well.  So we thought a roundup of hands-on reports might not be a bad idea.  Of course, so far these reports are all of very controlled demos.  The real test will be when people get a chance to play with it in the wild.

Let us know if we missed any and we will add them to the list.

    • Jonathan Downin: Interesting points. Macroblocking does seem to be a bit of an issue, but I am mainly focusing on SD streaming here and there may be less of a problem
    • 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
