We used to play a lot of funny games in our childhood. But with Scientific and technical progress our games were transferred to an electronic kind - computer. And further with progress, games became more and more exacting to the computer, hence, to a financial condition. What can resolve this problem? A new online video game. This kind of a game hopes to free players from buying game discs and high-priced computers.These games will be available on the OnLive Game Service. This project was officially announced today at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Project members would let the gamers choose were they want to play video games – Windows, Apple Macintosh or television sets.
Now let’s compare some different computers with this new generation of games. For example, let’s choose Microsoft Xbox were you can play only specific games that are made only for Xbox platform. But OnLive store their games on powerful data servers that provide a high speed bounce game data back and forth from player. Thanks to new proprietary compression technology that make your games running as on your computer.
I think that most of us have got tired of this small screen, bad sound. Now it is HDTV screen with a small micro console that can help player to connect game controllers and headsets.
OnLive shows us the first true virtual console! But many scientists consider that this kind of gaming solution will be very expensive. But if we look on the other said – you never need to upgrade your home equipment. This is very fast and powerful solution for games – no physical media; it’s an all-digital platform!
Many Games Magnets such as Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Epic Games, and Warner Browsers work in this project. There are 16 games playable on this new platform. There you have your own profile, you can save and load your game, view your friends’ games.
Then if you want another game, you can download from OnLive website plug-in that allows you to buy games. One of the pluses of this system that it is anti-piracy! The games will be only on the server and nobody would have allowed doing something with it.
