Re: On Live Games Not The Same As Playstation 3

[ Edited ]

It's actually been producing better visuals on multiplatform games than their console versions. They're running at high level PC detail, so high anti-aliasing (something many console games lack), post processing, texture filtering, etc, but runs at a console resolution.

 

There has been absolutely 0 lag, and it's worked perfectly. I'll still prefer to run it at a high resolution with the highest settings on PC, but if it's cheaper on OnLive (on sale, or something), i'd get it on that over the console version, probably.

 

Also, it supports different control methods, all the games support keyboard and mouse and the pad. But, I own a PS3 for it's exclusive games that will never hit OnLive. It completely defeats the entire purpose of Sony having their own game studios for exclusives. The onlive guys just said, a while ago, that they would try and get Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo on board, but that is all that was said, nothing more. We know it wouldn't happen whilst they're still producing their own consoles.

The thing is, if you're using achievements as a major selling point for you, you're doing it so wrong it's unbelievable.


i dont play games for achievements was just saying they are available on onlive games

I think Onlive has surprised a lot of people and it seems a few Playstation and XBOX fans are getting so defensive and saying it's going to kill gaming.

At the end of the day the PS3 is a piece of junk compared to a gaming pc,and those who say different have not got a clue what they are talking about.Even a beginners gaming laptop is a million times better than the PS3 will or can ever be,,, Nuff said.

Re: On Live Games Not The Same As Playstation 3

I been using this for about 3 months now, only doing game trials and it works very good, am with VM and get 30mb down and 3mb up.

I would like to try this with the game box, because that can then output 1080p res, even when you using it on PC you till have to take into acount your system specs, its not all just about having good internet speed. At the moment my PC not that good, am saving up for a gaming PC costing me £1000 so I will try again with that beast.

Why people pay that for a PC is that their are a million things that a PC can do what a PS3 can't do.

 

A PC is a proper multi purpose tool unlike the half arsed attempt from the PS3/360.

 

A true gamer will own all and play all and TBH as much as I love console gaming PC gaming is king as their is so much you can do what you can pnly dream off on PS3/360.

 

I think you need to open yourt eyes and see PS3, Sony and PSN is not the be all and end all of gaming!

 

 

My Laptop gives out better graphics with onlive than I have seen on PS3 but TBH I do not care I play games for the enjoyment which is why I still play old games!

 

 

You still have not come back with a decent reply to the ones that quoted you on you original Post!

 

Sound to me you feel threatend by this! Well the more fool you are!

Below is a Signature



Sony are stabbing their loyal family customers in the back - We have 3 PS3s and 3 PSPs all on the same IP address and all registered with Sony. Why can't we use them at the same time anymore?

Gonna wait to see what the service is like in 3 months when the ISPs remove the service from the "Do not traffic shape" system. VM original agreed to not traffic shape BBC Iplayer only to Reverse that Buy adding AREA based Traffic management later to there T&C.
