Sometimes I totally loss the signal while playing. I listen to the radio via internet and sometimes, even if I only need 1.5 kb/s , I loss signal and I have to launch the site again. that's why I don't believe in cloud computing and web based only applications. In the current state of the network, this solution is not reliable. And you can't move home when you found out the place you live is badly connected. I don't reject OnLive, I think its main flaws cannot be overcome in the current state of the network. |
My take on the PC gaming end is I get nasty potluck when it comes to hardware and the operating system. I can't trust games I buy on the PC will work.
Beyond this, I see this solution working in game centers they have in Asia, where the bandwidth is superior. However, what I can say here, in the United States, based on first-hand experience with it, OnLive does work. I am like 90 miles north of NYC also, where they likely have the data center.
