OnLive's Epic Plan For a New Type of Video Game

[wraggster]

"OnLive's had a tough twelve months any way you look at it, but as a new profile of the cloud game streaming service (http://www.redbull.co.uk/cs/Satellite/en_UK/Article/Cloud-consoles-OnLives-epic-plan-for-a-new-type-021243313536662) points out, throughout it all, service never dropped, and the number of platforms it's on keeps growing. Up next is the tiny Ouya console, but in a wide-ranging interview, OnLive's general manager talks up plans to bring MMOs to the service, and even a whole new type of video game, one that will run on many servers, not just one PC: 'Look at how CGI has changed cinema over the last few years — you can do CGI essentially realtime. It could completely change what a video game looks like. That leads us to new technologies. Then game designers say, "What could I really do with a computing platform that is so powerful but also available across so many devices?" You're no longer constrained by computing power — that has tremendous opportunity.'
