OnLIve service and STO

[Jeebs]

Hm. Dear developers, did you hear about OnLive service. :confused: I think it will be a great opportunity to port STO on thouse servers. Just imagine. Playing without any lags on 42" TV! I think it will be revolutionary step for MMO.
Yours Alex.

oh man i cannot wait to play this game on my 42 " plasma screen will be ace confort of my own chair! getting the gf to get drinks make food! and get kids to watch a bit of trek for a while! (jk) but still this game will look dude on the plasma

Do you know OnLive?

[HittingSmoke]

You could already easily play it on a 42" screen with decent graphics hardware...

I am interested in the streaming game development though. It's still a long way off.

I still doubt OnLives validity, a few tiny shows by no means equals the same service to a worldwide distribution of the product.

plus, imagine aaallllll that data streaming through the net, worms will be a thing of the past, onlive will do their job for them!

heck over here i can't even get the required bandwidth for onlives higher res service, then there's the trouble of limitted downloads with isp's here too, i'd get to play about a week out of a month before my isp cut me off, and i pay over $100 a month for that and it's a large download compared to many other isp's here.

hmmm,i think i'll just stick with hooking my comp up to my 42' tv, why imagine when you can do?

personally i don't think the net is ready for onlive, give it another ten years then maybe, but i wouldn't expect it any time soon.

OnLive looks cool, but I'm not too sure how far along it is. (And thanks, Cormoran, for that link to the halo officer in that other thread earlier. I lol'd).

I'm thinking about switching my TV and comp monitor for when I test/play ST:O just to see what it's like.

Don't understand where you're getting the malware argument from. I just read an article about the streaming game market and most of them are based on flash and will stream through your browser of a stand alone flash player type app. It's not an installable or .exe running on your PC

OnLive devs said that month subscribtion will be little. I think like 5$

not malware, just the amazingly large amount of bandwidth it'll use up, one of the side effects of worms is they use up bandwidth and can slow things down, well, a cheap way to play the latest games will do that times a thousand. you'll get lag, and not just for onlive, it could start effecting other things too.
