What do you mean. I and many people I know have been playing consoles for the single players aspect for years. "Social" was the least of concerns.. ]]>May 2nd 2010 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/May 2nd 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/May 2nd 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/
The game code is 100% the same it always has been. It is running on your machine. It just launches the game from a web browser, in web browser, but in the end the game is still being run 100% by your machine, which is nothing like onlive. ]]>May 2nd 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/
So not 100% browser based. It also seems to require directx 9 or above. They are working on a mac OSX version to so I wonder why they didn't chose for OpenGL in the first place.]]>May 2nd 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/
Which is interesting because before the re-launch, they had OSX support. I don't know what changed about the software that caused them to lose that compatibility. ]]>May 2nd 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/instantaction-goes-live-with-browser-based-gaming-model/it doesnt say its 100% browser based, playing the game in your browser, but the game runs on your machine, if that makes sense, much like flash games

oh... wait, macs dont run them well either?

It's not 'epic' when the company also supplies game engines, and due to InstantAction we haven't received promised updates and features...

Despite having Java 6 update 20, the latest version of DirectX, and installing the runtime libraries it wanted, it still won't work, in both Firefox and Chrome.

THIS is why Flash is needed. It just works.
