That it did and it was such an entertaining read. But I don’t think it’ll be a Phantom—probably just a novelty product. The founder claimed in his interview that the process of making a game compatible with OnLive was relatively easy. I’m assuming if it weren’t painless and cost-effective, none of these nine companies would have jumped onboard. I can’t wait for impressions on the beta.

Ok, I haven’t actually read anything in here YET, but I’m convinced OnLine is the next Phantom. Leadbetter’s article absolutely destroyed it.

What OnLive lacks is a “killer app”-esque title to focus their marketing around or even a truly unique selling point. I mean, the reason we’re impressed is because of the tech but getting the uninformed masses to participate will be the real challenge. We have the Wii with its motion controls and Nintendo heritage, the PlayStation 3 with the PlayStation heritage and the Xbox 360 with its shooter-happy Halos and Gears. They have something to truly hinge their product on.

Hardcore PC gamers won’t care much since they already know what to do and even more general gamers won’t find the system any more convenient. Perhaps this is aimed at the casual gaming market—the ones that don’t have leet rigs—but does OnLive have the clout to take on the Wii?

I dunno, but I personally see OnLive as a novelty product and unless they can ensure a proper 1:1 experience for each and every subscriber with zero lag, it’s going to be a perennial beta experience. Not something you want the casual masses to even think about it.

OnLive is a direct competitor to Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo: why buy a console when you can just play on theirs? Who needs Xbox Live when you don’t have an Xbox? I just don’t see the big three allowing something like this to take off.

These guys sound stupendously optimistic; so much such that they seem to be missing some sort of very essential point. Y’know, the kind of point wherein a shipmaker will go: “Oh dearie… I’ve forgotten the bolt that keeps the boiler from blowing up!” An exaggeration, but you get the point, right?

The founder was quite happy when he spoke about how one of the CTO’s (presumably of the publishers they’re courting) sons tried it out and found the experience enjoyable. Derek commented that the guy probably has “super-fast” broadband and at this stage there are probably hardly any players taxing the servers. Following news on this is going to be an entertaining experience.

What makes online play with most modern games bearable is that they have both prediction and lag compensation, so that you can comfortably play as if there is no lag.

With this, lag will be a constant companion, even if you’re playing single-player. It sounds like an utterly miserable experience, if you ask me.
