- Classic Game Room reviews the unboxing and packaging of the ONLIVE GAME SYSTEM videogame console for cloud gaming! Games from a cloud?? Sounds like rain, which makes beer, which is good. And that all matches the OnLive logo too (look at it).
- บันเทิง
really excited about the onlive review. been thinking about this thing since it was announced years ago.
Cant wait for the console review!
thanks for reviewing this! it wil come to my country and now i am prepared :D
"Down here you get 2 x of that.... but only 1 x of that."
XD
''when i think of onlive,i think of beer'' gt to love mark and his wisdom.
solid review. I love your sarcasm!
Nice looking controller
Damn that was a nice packaging!!!
Getting ready for the reviews. All three of them. I wonder why mark used the Onlive so little?
"It almost fits" lol I love Classic Game Room.
When is onlive available in the UK! Can't wait to play this!
@bcheck123...I agree. Nothing beats the convenience of a disc and the experience of unwrapping and unboxing. I think disc are here to stay until fiber optic and super fast internet connections become the norm.
@goku3809 it does but you need a composite cable that is bought separately
@shadowtsunami yea, if you want to get one, I suggest waiting maybe a few months because by then it should have more games.
@papercanfly no this is a system itself but it doesnt use disks or download anything except maybe updates; it streams games that you buy and you can also play free demos for around 30 mins. the system cost $99 and the games run anywhere from $10 to around $45 or possibly $ 50 in not too sure about that.
Watching CGR is the highlight of my day!
@mephisto40
Quake live does run locally on your own computer. Onlive runs the games on the computers in the "cloud".
@Ninkyo893 Exactly! I actually enjoy shopping for my games. Actually getting out of the house, talking to gamers at the store. Plus you can always return a physical copy if you don't like it, or get tired of it and at least get in-store credit! And with physical copies, you can get discounts on used games.
'when I think of water, I think of beer', dude that sounds serious
since you the tiny console when you put it on ur PC is it like a console where you already have all the graphics cards and stuff or is it like PC where you need a certain graphics card to run games
i love all the 2001: A Space Odyssey references on this show!!
@theSman11 Naw content is streamed off of Onlive servers so it is more like an internet interface of modem with controller input.
Nice video!
@Hakern 1. True. 2. With today's DRM, it's not that different from buying a box. 3. Subscription is free, and you "rent" for 3 years. They have awesome discounts too, just like Steam. 4. Delay to OnLive + no delay to game server, since they are on LAN.
@dgd151 yeah but the biggest problem of this system is, you do not have control of which game you want to play the moment you want, it all depends on how long their servers will support that game and system. I really want to keep 100% control over the hardware and games i have.
@CheapBeer09 it allows you stream live gaming to it and download full games.it connects to your mac/pc/HDTV
so you can pretty muth say its a console.
damn mark! you allways get these things first!!!!!!!
@ndaniel1997 It's a game console, but you buy games on the internet. And the games and save data is saved to the internet (the cloud).
@Ivanchokoev96 no it can play single player, but you need internet to get the games
@toot1231 Yeah, very well. Minimum is about 2 or 3 and recommended is 5 ish. You'll do fine and it'll stream in 720p with no lag or dropouts. As long as you have low ping.
This just a great idea I commend the the people that thought this up
its a good looking console because we can see your reflection :D
I'm so curious to see your opinion of this system Mark, I've been debating it
I got a chance to use the Onlive from my pc. I have to say that I am impressed. The graphics are pretty good, the game plays great with no lag, albeit with a good internet connection, so it's not for everyone yet. The games aren't quite there yet however. When the game selection gets better, I will highly consider getting the onlive console for my HDTV. Until then, it is fine for the occasional game from my pc. I recommend the service to anyone with decent internet. There is a free trial.
@Hakern
1) There is not active subscription, so you never lose access
2) The renting issue shares very little difference from Steam. If the service is discontinued you lose access to your content. Some would argue that Onlive would be less drastic impact because you did not pay for the hardware to play the game
3) On travel, the server lists change and the delay has minimum impact on games like Batman or Borderlands, but you are right that this is not ideal for racing or fighting games
@melikecomedy Yea and you can resell physical copies!
I was hoping that Mark would comment on the connections/ports the OnLive has.
@AntDude92 this however means you don't fancy hardware to run games, it streams the game to your tv or computer, so instead of having to upgrade your computer to play newer games you can just let their computers run it and you just have it run on your tv
I heard about this thing a couple years ago. If there's not too much delay, it's a really good idea, but I'd think that streaming hd video would be laggy....
NICE!!!
Mark is so awesome! :D
@HerrGubba 2Mb/s for SD gaming 5Mb/s for HD gaming.. Unless you live out in the wilderness most ISP's in mainland America and Europe provide 10Mb/s and higher for a low cost. OnLive is heavily streamlined to make sure that the streaming works effectively.
Hopefully he does a review on this, I've been eying the onlive for a while now, not because I want to buy it, but because I want to see if it actually works.
@CoolDudeClem its a streaming console. u buy the games online with it then they stream to ur console. with that being said, if ur connection sucks the game will be choppy
I need one! Horray for onlive!
does it run games at 1080p? and if it does how much internet speed you need?
(sorry for my bad english)
Nice
nice collectors item, get yours before is too late!
He never fails to bust out a Sega product
is there some kinda processor in there? hdmi out? i don't get what it does :O. does it work like any other console or wut?
@kriptonis and what happen if your internet went down for 2 weeks?You cant play your games in off-line mode and that would suck
The controller looks pretty sweet. If anything they could make 3rd part controllers
Hey could u talk about the ps3 lamborghini steering wheel or any wheel for the ps3 cuz I am looking to buy one and want to see a good review
I was one of the first beta testers for onlive and at first I did not really like it, impressive technology but lag and bluriness were a problem, but it has gotten a hell of alot better within a years time and now sometimes I think someone could be fooled into thinking their playing native hardware and it is only going to get better. I really think cloud gaming and computing is the future, it just makes sense.
does this come with standard AV cable? if not where can i get one?
So do we know yet how well, this newly advanced system works?
It claims to have games instantly downloaded on the software and no lagging in games and connectivity with other players.
@WebVMan why would you want to play nintendo games anyway? just can't get enough of wii sports or boogie?
@BrandenSuperstar I know right? It means developers can make games as big as they want
@D3STRUKT0R99 Not sure if you're up on the service, but there's no subscription fee now. Hasn't been for a couple months at least. They have a 10 bucks a month thing, but that's for access to a set of games and you get a month to try it free - you don't need a subscription to just try it out.
It's nice sure but, does it blend??
i might be wrong but is onlive so small because its basically an external hard drive?
I really can't see how a system like this can overcome the presumably massive controller lag, as the data makes the round trip from your hands, to the server and back. It is however, an interesting proof-of-concept and the device itself, along with the user interface, are very well designed.
Will you be doing any usage reviews of this system Mark?
Mr. Do case! That's smart.
@fallenangei another example of why Onlive is good. Homefront was launched everywhere around midnight in their timezone. With Onlive, it was 12:01am EST, meaning people using Onlive on PSTwere able to play the game a good 3 hours before any other people not using Onlive. They didnt have to wait for a download like Steam users. They just logged in, went to their games, selected Homefront, then they were playing the game. Even the east coast users did it a little faster, no trips to the store.
slick move putting it in your Atari Mark
@shadowtsunami I use the pc version but it works the same,
They usually have regular prices with a few discounts on the weekends
@Ninkyo893 Is it really that bad? You'll still get the game, just not some packaging that takes up space anyway.
@Verification11 Im no expert but im pretty sure its when you play games on another computer (one of onlive's in this example) and then it sends what you would see on the screen back to your screen, when you press a button it sends to the computer and does the appropriate action, many people say its the future of gaming because in theory it allows anything that is connected to the internet and can run video to play even the most advanced games.
I never heard of this before until now... I looked into it, and I like the new way they stream things, but... I just like the old school way of gaming.
Yes but will it blend
when will the review be up
@backwoodsmods what if you dont have an internet connection?
3:23 Mark mounts the camera to his head lol
@madant1977 Yes it does, why is the download so small if your supposedly downloading the whole game then? Quake live is what they tested this whole thing out on before they started selling it
@Renzeko yea, true. but it did look like he had smething on his head. maybe sunglasses? and i didnt see a tripod in the reflection..
I have to admit that when he tried to plug it into the Atari 2600, I laughed. Can't wait for the review. Shit, had I known about Onlive sooner, I would've gotten it for my kids instead of a PS3.
@bcheck123 yeah i agree on that, with physical copies it just feels safer
I find OnLive to be an amazing concept to say the least. Sadly when I tried to sign up for trying it out I got a reply stating that they were currently not offering their service to where I live, which is Europe-Greece. O well anyway, let's hope that one day it will come. Oh and I'm curious about the connection latency.
i love OnLive, i really want the console or at least the OnLive Universal Video Game Controller A.K.A. the OLUVGC.
i hope physical copies will live
On a more serious note, the olive system is cool but the problem is you must have a continuous steady stream of bandwidth at all times to play your games. Also if a server goes down no games for you that day.
@fallenangei
what does this have to do with DRM ? it's coud gaming, you never see the DRM
@GavinSpenceR18 on the contrary, onlive doesn't actually "play" the games on the machine. It connects to a server and streams the game to you. The games are run on a pretty beast machine off location. The games performance mostly has to do with your internet connection.
@Ninkyo893 (Although, having said that, I should mention that I have no idea if this thing is good or not, and I think there should always be the option of buying PC games the standard way)
OnLive = beer = mind blown
@Hakern Are you saying we have to sign a contract to play the games just like alot of other games on my PS3
I still don't know much of anything about OnLive. Will be interesting to see upcoming reviews.
im not sure if you reviewed this or not. but if you didnt can you review the ZEEBO GAME SYSTEM?
is it like PC whre you need a graphics card or like a console
No cartridge slot or disc drive? How the hell it it supposed to play anything?
@mnofmystrie ...and you can only get it in the States.
@Ivanchokoev96 yes, just online games
Pleeeaaase review the service! :)
You logic chain is awesome :D onlive->clouds->water->beer => onlive=beer.
@Ichigo9913 It's made by its own company (OnLive). It's not really a game console, more like just a box that allows use of the service on a TV. The service itself just streams the video to your system from their servers, which can cause issues if you don't have a fast enough internet.
They have the PC app available for download on their website, and it allows you to try 30-minute trials of games. It's worth a try.
@dresskid THNK U!!!
on live came out???? last I heard of that was last year in an electronics magazine.
can you put a link to where to buy it
so can you play online multiplayer with other people?
i just got the onlive cloud gaming ad for utube!
