The f'kin controls, mate. The f'kin controls!!

The touch screen is well suited for some applications, but for more complex games, it just doesn't work. You can make it work, but in the end it becomes more frustrating than anything.

Buttons/analog controllers are your friend...not the enemy. ]]>Nov 16th 2009 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/

Could they ever truly become gaming platforms with the control scheme so bastardized?

Don't get me wrong, loves my "smartphone/computer"....but dedicated gaming devices are so much better.

Last point, Nintendo and Sony need to drop some new generation devices....new graphics, new technology....extending current platforms isn't cutting it. ]]>Nov 16th 2009 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/
Technically speaking, the Droid does have that D-Pad, but I doubt that the experience would be any better.

Personally, I think On-Live should give an adequate demo before getting everybody's hopes up.]]>Nov 16th 2009 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/
Also i dont see why something like the iphone cant do it as long as its using wifi.
No way AT&Ts service is goung to pull that over their 1/3g conection.]]>Nov 16th 2009 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/Nov 16th 2009 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/
A type of program like this is basically streaming a video from somewhere, and sending some simple UDP packets (of your control inputs). Granted its a bit more complicated then that, but it won't require anything like flash does, therefore there would be no reason for it to not be allowed in the app store (other than its questionable functionality) ]]>Nov 16th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/Nov 16th 2009 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/Nov 16th 2009 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/Nov 16th 2009 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/Nov 16th 2009 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/

But if you want to be:

#1 An attention whore.

#2 guarantee that the blogs that in the past laughed your idea off, treat it a bit more gently or even positively.

You just say it will involve the iPhone in someway.

yes, ive read the info from their blog. great, lets move on from the home network thing... since youre on their ^#$315 its only fair to ask them to have a demonstration of a high end 3d game asap!

I've seen live demos of FPS on PCs and Macs and it works great. One caveat is that you currently have to be within reasonable range of one of their servers to have low latency.]]>Nov 16th 2009 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/Nov 16th 2009 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/
In a few years from now, everyone will be plugged to the 10gbps network and working, playing, watching whatever... online. Everything will be streamed.


I'm not looking forward to that, but I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later anyways.]]>Nov 16th 2009 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/
I guess in this scenario all consumers have at their place is a basic networking terminal and all the apps and data are on servers.
I for one don't find the concept of not owning the software I shelled out hard earned cash for very appealing (I'm from Germany - software licencing the American way is not legal here, if you buy software you own the copy) and I also detest the idea of my data cruising around the internet.
Not to mention that your "PC" is basically useless if there is no connection - if a street worker damages the cable, for example...

But more to the point, I still don't buy into this OnLive thing... And as long as there is no public beta with real gamers in real world conditions, I just can't believe their claims...]]>Nov 16th 2009 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/
I suppose this service would also get around the problem of older iPhones not being able to play newer titles that were designed for faster devices. No doubt 3GS-only titles will only be the beginning so this service could address that particular problem.]]>Nov 16th 2009 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/Nov 16th 2009 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/
The best games are those that play to the particular strengths of the platform that they are being played on. I am very much convinced that the best games for the iPhone are those that don't have a bunch of on-screen buttons to simulate buttons that the device does not have but rather takes advantage of the multi-touch interface and accelorometer.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that OnLive can deliver what they are promising but I am not wanting to try playing Cryssis on the iPhone.]]>Nov 16th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/

1. I've seen Onlive in action. I've payed it. It is amazing. They developed new compression algorithms and proprietary hardware to do the encoding and decoding work. So this thing really works.

2. It is coming to Android. Perlman provided the seed money for the Android project before Google purchased it. ]]>Nov 16th 2009 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/16/onlive-demonstrates-iphone-app-set-to-redefine-mobile-gaming/
