We have been monitoring everything about OnLive, a company that wants to change the way we play from our devices at home by offering an alternative that is more interesting from a reasonable price and low hardware requirement since what games are offered streaming, which means that it is necessary to have an Internet connection to play.
The truth is that, at least in particular, I love the challenge of this company, some nuts have to tighten as the standard connection that is not very demanding to keep the flow of a video game, but overall is the best ideas have been presented in a long time, and of course want to exploit. OnLive shows that passing is not a company is launching its applications for mobile devices based on Android and iOS, which include tablets and smartphones.
The applications work the same way that happens from the terminal that connects to the TV, that is, once we enter the application, either Android or IOS, we can choose any of the available games and start playing without worry about whether or not a mobile version. It’s really cool games like Batman: Arkham City or Assassin’s Creed 2 is already available, in total and there are 200 titles to choose from.
Another interesting point is that the OnLive team over 40 games adapted for touch support could count on knowing that the owners of Android or IOS terminals are used to playing with your fingers on the screen. However, it also includes a wireless controller that can be purchased for $ 50, with it you can manipulate the games that need it, which is now the majority.
The price Android or IOS OnLive is free, but the games have a different cost no matter what we are playing on TV or the iPhone application, ie, we could not meet up with $ 50 games. However, what I call the attention of this business model is being offered game rentals for three or five days and more for a price you can would see $ 6 to $ 9 or, if you prefer to pay a couta monthly access the full catalog for just $ 10.
