| Navane said: It'd be way too easy for me to sit here and moan about the shortcomings of a great technological achievement that we wouldn't have thought possible at the beginning of last-gen so I'll just say this: My only complaint is the video quality and input lag. I was playing The Last of Us and noticed some pretty crushed blacks, and lack of detail. The input lag, while not bad, makes it hard to be precise while playing. Not sure if there is much that can be done at this point but hope they can one day improve the service where there is at least no input lag. |
Crushed blacks might be because of a wrong setting on the tv in case the service sends full RGB instead of limited or Rec. 709. Loss of detail will be improved when the service switches over to H.265 (HEVC codec) or simply by offering higher bandwidth. Input lag is the hardest to fix, distance to server, your internet connection, using wifi, wireless controller, tv decoder + image processing all add to the lag.
It's a great achievement anyway. When OnLive was announced it was thought to be impossible, myself included. Now you don't even need a setup box anymore and it's actually playable. Next all they have to do is make a deal with MS and put a unified Minecraft on there... One Minecraft to rule them all.
