Onlive gaming on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

For years, people have been gaming using either a games console or a decent PC. Of course as of very recently, Mac gamers have been getting in on the action as gaming company Valve recently added Mac support for their Steam gaming platform. Even those on the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad have been getting in on the action. However, some of the hardware is not capable of playing a game. Those with hardware that is just about capable of playing a game will experience very slow performance.

Very soon, a new service called OnLive will fix this. Put simply, OnLive is a service that will stream games to a TV, a PC, a Mac computer, an iPhone, an iPod Touch or an iPad. If you are on a TV, then you would need to buy a special microconsole that plugs into the back of your TV. If you have a controller that will connect via USB, then this will work as will. If you are on any of the devices mentioned above, you would have to download the Onlive client and connect using your broadband connection.

Once you are connected you can then choose the game that you wish to play. If you have anyone in your friends list, then you can also play against them. Now this is where things get interesting. The OnLive servers will then stream the video to your iOS device. You will not need to worry about where you are going to get all the high-end hardware to run those awesome games from. OnLive’s hardware will take care of all that, so that all you need to worry about is actually playing the game.

This means that the iOS devices, PCs and Mac computers will be able to play games using onlive that are way beyond the capabilities of the hardware in them. Put simply, this means you will be able to play games like Assasin’s creed, DIRT 2 and many others on your iOS device , and it will still look awesome. However, you will need a broadband internet connection speed of at least 5mbps in order to use Onlive.

At the moment, the people at OnLive have not given any details on when the service will be ready for the public. However, a lucky handful in the USA who have signed up early, they will get their first year free and an optional 2nd year at $4.95 US.

Unfortunately, there are no details on pricing of onlive yet for any other countries. So we will have to wait until they do announce something like that. For more information on this interesting gaming service, visit www.onlive.com.

Until next time, this is Adiman423 on behalf of iPhone Tutorial Videos signing out.
