GDC 2010: OnLive to launch in June, service pricing revealed |
Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: games for windows, GDC, mac, onlive, steve perlman
OnLive, the highly heralded cloud gaming service announced at last year's GDC, will finally launch in the US on June 17, with PC and Mac support on day one.
According to Steve Perlman, OnLive's Founder & CEO, the service will definitely transform the way gamers experience the games and interact with each other, and in time, will hopefully transform the way games are developed and marketed.
For gamers, this means you never have to do anything for your gaming experience to keep getting better. And developers now can unleash unbounded creativity to deliver state-of-the-art gameplay that they know will reach virtually any gamer—instantly.
Today we also announced OnLive’s base service pricing, and a pretty cool special offer.
The base month-to-month service fee is $14.95. Loyalty programs (e.g. multi-month pricing) and other special offers will be announced by the start of E3. We’ve got a great special offer for starters: The first 25,000 qualified people to register on the OnLive Game Service will have their first 3 months’ service fee waived. You’ll find all the important details here, and note that the service fee does not include the purchase or rental of games.
Included in your monthly service fee are OnLive-exclusive features such as instant-play free game demos; multiplayer across PC, Mac and TV platforms; massive spectating; viewing of Brag Clips™ video capture and posting; and cloud-saving of games you’ve purchased—pause, and instantly resume from anywhere, even on a different platform.
Also included in the monthly service fee are features you’d expect from standard online games services such as gamer tags, user profiles, friends, chat, but with a twist: everything is live video. You’ll be friending through multiplay, Spectating, Brag Clips, or by flipping through video profiles of friends of friends of friends. OnLive is delivering the first instant video-based social network. It’s really cool.
Once you are on the service, instant-play, top-tier, newly-released games will be for sale and for rent on an à la carte basis. Specific pricing will be announced as games are released, so you’ll hear about the pricing of the first games by E3, but needless to say, we expect them to be offered at competitive prices. Games are always updated with the latest versions, and purchased game add-ons are playable instantly.
Initially, we’ll be offering the OnLive Game Service for PCs and Macs through a small browser plug-in. Later this year, we’ll announce the public availability of the MicroConsole™ TV adapter. And, we’ll be steadily expanding to other devices over time.

I really hope they make it and dont suffer the same fate as the Phantom.
Although, I will not be subscribing to their service.

from what has been stated there is a charge to use the service on top of my broadband fees.
I would still be required to pay for games or to even rent them
if my subscription runs out what will happen to the games considering that all the processing is done at the onlive base of operations?
It would have made sense if there was a subscription and you could play anygame you wanted
it would seem as though the only people who would benefit from this would be those with low end computers but they would probably save alot more if they just used that money to upgrade their pc which will see them through another couple of years

no-one in their right mind will pay for this garbage. if that included the use of full games then maybe it could work. but this has fuck all chance of surviving with that business model.
this is just steam with video. if you want video chat, use skype ffs!
i "was" interested in their idea when i first heard about it. in theorie it sounded good, originally.
good luck morons. you got too greedy.
