I just on the Youtube channel of SoldierKnowsBest discovered a video of him on the game-streaming service OnLive. In the video, it is apparent that the command delays are afraid to feel (at least in the U.S.) hardly. In addition, the graphics can also be seen. Ladies, here's the vid:

If OnLive is a new streaming service from the U.S., specializing in computer games. The games will be streamed on the home PC. The PC itself has to perform computing tasks no longer. Therefore, it is also possible to play through a little box to PC games on TV. In addition, the client software for Windows and Mac systems, so that Apple users will also enjoy times of gaming.

Today I stumbled over a News of the new gaming service OnLive streaming. If you just do not know what that is: If OnLive is a startup company. The same product out of the house makes it possible, even with a computer that does not meet the minimum requirements of a game to gamble, this. How does it work? It's simple: The games will be in the running of OnLive cloud server and is streamed in practice only the image on the home computer. By the user, only the keystrokes. According to OnLive, it will be possible to play a game at the highest level of detail and a resolution of 1024 × 768 px 3000 with a broadband line.
This all sounds very tempting. Easy to gamble at times as the netbook FacCry2 or GTA IV can. Only with the help of a plugin that just 1 MB in size. For the TV is also a set-top box is available, one on the whole the fullest on your TV. As I said, tempting. Were it not for a news, which I stumbled.

The message to, costs OnLive minutes per month. 14.95 U.S. dollars. And that's just the ongoing cost, ie the costs that must always be paid, because the server farms must also be paid. You can not play it. Per game, the customer will be asked to pay again ie. How much does it cost there is still not known. Out of sheer speculation, I would guess times that the games are not much cheaper than the store itself, the $ 14.95 is yes, only the server, and traffic costs. The publisher will even earn a little. So would the fun be quite expensive. But as I said, this is just speculation. OnLive has even commented on the additional cost for games not yet exist.

If this were really so, it would not be worthwhile to use OnLive. It is also of course so that it will be practically limited by DRM in the possession of the game. I go to the store, I've's in your hand. Even if the OnLive servers are offline, I can play. This is at the service not so.

As part of this news, I'm a bit of doubt on whether OnLive is really the blockbuster.

An hour ago I've only gotten up and have been a spectacular news for you. It is the "Project Natal," that was presented by Microsoft at E3 in Los Angeles. With Project Natal is an input device for the Xbox 360 that consists of a camera, depth sensor and room mics. Using these three components, it will be possible to squeeze his body into the TV and interact with it. This is the big difference with other camera-based input devices, that in Natal Project 3D movements are recorded.

In addition, the system is able to perceive changes in voice pitch and voice commands at all to assume, as can be seen in the above line video. Furthermore, the system's own Xbox avatar to assign the person standing right in front of the television. All done automatically! Another controller seems to be no longer needed to be, as all other activities, such as scrolling through the LIVE menu is also realized by means of movements or speech.

Here's a video of the E3 presentation, which presents impressive was that the system can all:

If the system works the way on the two videos, and if Microsoft can really keep his promise to the effect, it could herald a minor revolution in the software giant in the living room. For my part I think it's very impressive!

As I have just read, EA has a free version of the strategy game BattleForge released. These were previously only Play4Free games of Battlefield Heroes, free cartoon shooter. Now also joins BattleForge into the ranks of the P4F games.

This free version of the players is advanced no blockage, but they also have access to all community functions and scenarios, the Renegade Campaign, and 32 trading cards. However, it will be possible to buy more cards with real money.

Overall, this is a fine move by EA. I assume that the game will also continue to be funded through ingame advertising. But if it is well placed, I see no problem. Super O!

The client you can here download.

Now the secret's out: In the wake of the publication of the new website www.gameone.de was also the message that Nils Eddy and future work in the editorial of the same broadcast, aired.

Currently, there is the MTV show in the summer Gaming, which will last until August. Can observe whether the two Late Knights then in front of the camera, that is, the focusing screen is still unknown. But I'm greatly from it, because otherwise that would be a waste of the (obvious) talent that have both. I certainly hope that in the coming August 2 new faces to the fore
