http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2343717,00.asp What do you guys think? Personally, I think the bandwidth just isn't there. That and this would depend on high quality of service lines from broadband providers. Just in example, our can go anywhere from 11mbs to 1mbs depending on time of day.
Roflness, I don't think what they are proposing works the way you are describing. I seriously doubt that they intend to set up a dedicated box for each user. (one CPU, one GPU per user) That would kind of defeat the purpose of what they are proposing. I'm still not clear on exactly how they expect to make this thing work…
Again, some surprising information. The Phantom was all bluster and concepts. The lapboard was the only concrete thing they ever produced for it. With this OnLive service, they are scheduled to go into beta in just a few months. They already have two data centers established for it on both coasts. They have performance…
Hmmmm...so they are planning some robust community features with this thing? That is the proper direction to take a product like this. Get people invested in an on-line community, and the lack of physical media doesn't seem as important. Clearly these guys are more on-the-ball than those snake-oil salesman at Infinium. I…
I think it's a silly idea when you consider the cost of maintaining such a data center to crunch the processing. Why would a company bear all the financial risk of purchasing the hardware to sell time back to the user? It makes no economic sense to me. What are you going to charge for this service? Remember how slow the…
We did some calculations here and the input lag would be around 2 ms extra, not nearly as bad as people would think. The biggest hogger will be sound and video. It could work, but there are so many variables that need to be taken into account. I wonder how they will compress the content from server to client in order for…
In this day and age its way too unweildy financially, the tech wont stand up to it either.. and if it did the cost to set all that up for one user and charge them per month you're going to need alot of damn months to make your cash back . The amount of machinery required to run this for 10k users (which I would consider…
