Something amazing just happened.... i just played Just Cause 2 and Batman: AA.

What's so amazing about that? I was doing it on a $100 Asus EEE PC 9'' netbook! (the thing doesn't even really have a video card, and usually has trouble playing youtube video's properly).

Really this is the future, there are even people who got this working on an IPad.

To good to be true? Here's Assassin's Creed II running on a simple Netbook: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cunm4CK7aU8

Seriously take a glimpse into the future and try it out for free, you can play a 30 minute trial of all available games: http://www.onlive.com/

Yes the resolution can look a bit low on high def screens(looks AMAZING on a 9'' netbook screen though), and there can be a small amount of lag(think Xbox Kinect like) depending on where you live and you're internet connection. But with internet speed growing rapidly we will probably get Full HD quality games with zero lag within a few years.

I'm calling it now, the next generation of home consoles is going to be the last one, if we even get one. Everything is going online, cloud gaming is the future.

(P.S. sorry don't know how to embed video's). And sorry for the misspelling in the title, should have been future of gaming :P.

Well depends when it release here...But will follow it, I really wonder if we also see games that are not on consoles and older ones?

waiting until NBN rolls though were i am, and reach 100mbps instead of 2 mbps i have right now. and get an data cap of around 200gb because i am sure that onlive would work but i think it would destroy my datacap.

I want to know how well it runs in Australia, because it would be great for multi plat games that would be far cheaper than what i pay or importation. I would get steam but suck at playing with keyboard and mouse tho getting better. 

Only problems are Online??? So who does it connect to, my guess its PC right. So you would get destroy if you are using the controller tho mouse and keyboard are compatible for an few games. 

But what about games that dont have PC but online?

Even more amazing, Borderlands and others on a IPad!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpFzpF0msrU

Right now most good new PC titles are available, with more coming in the future like AC: Brotherhood . You can even ''rent'' most games for like $4 to $6 for several days, or just try some demo's for free.

Again they've dropped the monthly fee for now, so you can try it for free. Just sign up by filling in e-mail and an username/password, and you will have it up and running in like 2-3 minutes. It's being run by computers in the U.S. only right now, but i live in Europe with a 20mbps line(because of a crappy router) and it actually play's pretty decently.

This is not the future. I sometimes play old games on consoles from 20 years ago. I physically own them. I don't have to pay again to play them. Which is awesome.

Having to keep paying a monthly fee so you can continue to play games you don't own is not awesome. Especially since they can remove any game from their servers at any time. Which is what they will do, once a game gets old and is played by few people. Even less awesome.

Not being able to play without (fast) internet access: Least awesome.

Let's sum it up: Owning physical copies = Awesome. Not owning physical copies = Not awesome.

How fast is your connection?, and you have to buy every game and also pay monthly fee i'm i right?

Depending exclusively on the selection and pricing of the company that runs the service: Pretty un-awesome.

OMG this beats all....

Crysis, still one of the heaviest and graphically impressive titles, running on a IPhone!:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRRiMDq5r0&feature=related

It doesn't run smooth all the time in the video, but remember they're only using a 3G connection!

@Damnyouall: Have you even tried it? You can start up a game and it only takes like 5-10 sec to start. No installin required, no inserting game-disc, and the program itself is only a few MB large.

Either you didn't read or didn't understand my posts.

as i said in the comments on the article in gamrfeed, i have tried this and it only seems to work if you have a fantastic(or to their standards) Internet connection. i couldn't get it to work, yet i seem to do everything else that requires internet just fine. also, i hate the idea of not owning a physical copy of a game, its almost like just renting it. as well, if onlive decides that a particular game isnt doing that well, and its a game you own and love to play, they'll cut the servers and the game is gone completely. you just wasted $10-$60.

as of right know, i can not possibly see this as the future of gaming. at least not for a VERY long time. but if this is the future of games for the 8th/9th gen, then i want no part in the "future".
