$180 Rig That Will Play Crysis at Maximum Settings, 60FPS **Possible 56k**

And you can use the left over cash to upgrade your... Oh wait. :lol:

PS: You're gonna need a fast internet connection to pull this off. ;)

God, can you chill for while? I mean you're acting like you're preacher for Onlive.

Flaws with this theory: netbooks cost 100 bucks are plentiful

pcs that are new can be WAY cheaper than 180

just using an old computer is good enough, so in fact it's free

Years later.

Yeah, but I like having more of a selection than four or five games to choose from ;)

No thanks I don't want lag spikes in single player games. I think that would drive me crazy.

yes and you will need to pay for some seriously fast internet connection. At least 10mb/s with no bandwidth caps. With games getting larger and larger I don't know how you're going to pull that off with all the crappy ISP's out there.

Riku u need to stop. seriously. its getting anoying. plus Crysis isnt on Max settings. Its on High

it is but let someone else make a thread about it for once.

I don't think OnLive is as terrible of an idea as everyone is making it out to be. Is it the future? Very possible, we all said the Wii was ridiculous and motion controls will never take off, now look at Playstation and Xbox with their own ideas, I don't think motion controls will Ever take over as the standard, but offered as an alternative or just for specific games.

I think OnLive is a really cool idea, but it's going to take a decent amount of time until it actually can be played with little to no lag, and more games are available, and it can actually run every game at max settings. But it might take a long Long time, seeing as Digital Distribution hasn't even become a standard yet, and I would imagine that will become standard before streaming will. And even if Digital Distro. and/or OnLive become standards, there will still be physical copies available, much like how DVD copies of movies are being sold along side of the growing Blu Ray format. But who knows?

Meh, Digital Foundry vs Onlive.

Image quality.

Framerates.

This is one spider we just can't see to squash :P

(P.S Are we using spider? I didn't see the end of that thread.)

lol, keep fighting the good fight.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] more like 25fps. B) Onlive cant run its current games at any respectable graphical setitng. Rikusaki

And yet it looks worse than the console version and makes my eyes bleed with it's pixelation and blurriness.

My 30mb connection is to slow?

*checks onlive Just Cause 2 demo, def not Max settings, sorry, definatly not even 30fps, sorry.

Got to love that Onlive quality.

Decided to try out onlive again, and to me it was just as bad as before. Played UT3 and it looked terrible, not even close to the PS3 version, and you can definitely feel the input lag here with a fast paced shooter like unreal. And when I moved the image would become even more blurry, kinda like a video when its been highly compressed. As for this picture here I thought fraps would have captured it at its native 720p, but I guess it didnt, but still it looked bad regardless.

OMG!

First GT5 nonsense.

Now Onlive nonsense.

Looks nothing like what I'm getting on my end. Come back when you have Verizon FiOS.

Rikusaki

This happens a lot. The quality changes from blurry to downright eye bleeding.

Try taking a screenshot of you quickly turning right or left. It will be a blurred mess.

BTW that was from digital foundry which had a good connection and speed.

Well then that'sOnlive not delivering, not myfault.

Look at the guys image above.

Also Onlive will probably never get image quality comparable to a game actually being played on your PC.

You can quote me if you want.

Maybe in 50 years you can laugh at me when you get 10gb per sec connection with a 500tb a month bandwidth.

I probably won't care by then because 1080P will be long surpassed.

I might be dead too.

As it stands I highly doubt it could run Crysis at anywhere near max settings with a steady 60 fps framerate.

Yeah, in 320x240 res :lol:

Is that the next Wii config, btw? :P

I can't afford an 180$ rig. Want to know why? Because the rent is too damn high

It's a little early to introduce OnLive fanboys, but it's gotta start somewhere I guess... Keep up teh preaching.

Am i going to need to do this every time there is an onlive thread?

First of all, he just has a crappy connection. That looks downright horrible. Second, OnLive's hardware is constantly improving. In some ways, it has already surpassed the PS3 and 360 in terms of visuals (shading, lighting, etc.).

Rikusaki

When you have something around a 500mb/sec connection maybe then you can equal console quality.

But that would use around 225 GB (not gb) in one hour.
