ONLIVE: Gamings Future

When we try to imagine what the future of the video game arena looks like, we probably imagine 100% lifelike games, more intellegent games, and just an overall more fun experience. Most of us probably don't think of cloud server based gaming when looking toward the future. However it turns out, cloud gaming is just on the horizon. A company called Onlive has been working on their system for the past 7 years. They claim that it will revolutionize the way we play video games.



There have been plenty of companies in the past to try and make a cloud based system work. All of them have failed. Why will Onlive succeed where others have not? Well we can't really say they will, but signs are pointing in a very positive direction. They have dedicated a ton of work, raised a load of capital, and have the backing of some major video game companies.

You can find out more information at their website: Onlive.com or at the unofficial Onlive Forum.
