Are people really THAT annoyed by the load time or install size of their games, that they want to run them in their friggin' browser? And probably even have to pay to do so???

Just when you though OnLive is a stupid idea from both the commercial as well as the end-user perspective, an even more stupid idea comes along...]]>Mar 12th 2010 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/Also, this article almost reads like an advertisement.

So I guess that won't fly for me either ;-)]]>Mar 12th 2010 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/
The use? No need for top shelf hardware. The hardware rendering/physics etc. is done on their top shelf equipement and just needs your basic equipment (even integrated graphics) to display the streamed video on your machine.]]>Mar 12th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/It says you still need a computer capable of running the game to play it!
The technology your talking right now is what OnLive is.
That one, provides all the rendering from their servers and serves you the video.
This one just caches parts of the game and plays in your browser!
It's kind of like Steam just on your browser!
That was the whole point of it being compared to OnLive!

Read the article before you start saying something like that.]]>Mar 12th 2010 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/Mar 12th 2010 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/
$9 for the original monkey island is a scam, you can buy the collection for a penny.

Anyways, i miss the part that say what is the share (x sale) for put a game in our blogs.

It's a whole lot cheaper to play the latest games on your 5 year old hardware then it is to upgrade every couple years just to play the latest games.]]>Mar 12th 2010 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/
It's something I would consider myself. Making money from offline-downloaded games is not easy. The only option, as of now, is putting ads inside your game. Ads don't pay the bills.]]>Mar 12th 2010 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/

I welcome this aswell...but to say it will stop pirating is absurd.

That's what they said about the gamecube and dreamcast too (Ripping games).

What did people do? Find a way to use an exploit thru another game, "listen" to the output given thru the modem and engineer a program that could rip.

If it all fails though, there is no way something is uncrackable...as long as humans make it, it's crackable :)

-

I support this idea though :) Shame it isn't cross platform though :(

I know it's a far fetched comparison but you get the idea.

IE: Setting up a link between your computer and this that "listens" to the input, that will rip it as it's streaming for example]]>Mar 12th 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/Mar 12th 2010 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/instantaction-streams-full-games-to-any-web-browser-gives-indie/

Actually the streaming part has always been part their core business model. They've been developing game engines for streaming games forever and the games that people could play were just to test their platforms. They recently hired a new CEO and the company split with a division going to Portland and a division going to Las Vegas. One division is going to continue developing platforms and the other is focusing on the streaming which will now include porting 3rd part games to their platform.]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:03PM
