Xbox 360 Hardware Problems = More OnLive Users?

Will the problems with Xbox 360 hardware lead to gamers jumping ship from Xbox to OnLive?

IMO: only minority would go to OnLive.
Hardcore gamers would stay with whatever console they prefer.

Maybe some unhappy xbox 360 owners might move to onlive but i can't see that happening.

Aaron Greenterd5922d ago

I will have my secretary add OnLive to the growing list of competitors we will buyout and then run into the ground.

Isn't competition great?

This article make no sense.
PS3 High Price = More Onlive users!

See what I did there

Sarcasm5922d ago

When OnLive hits, let's just wait for the Guinea pigs to try it out first. After a few months or so, if it looks any good I'll try it too.

uie4rhig5922d ago (Edited 5922d ago )

Don't Jump In, Jump On.. OnLive!
lolololol

article fails epicly btw..

IcarusOne5922d ago

But the idea that 360 owners - which is the console many would say is designed the most for hardcore gamers - would jump ship for a barely HD, lag-fest on the distant horizon of the gaming frontier is so laughable I can hardly keep from sh!tting myself.

Onlive as a product/service does not exist.

Onlive as a product/service will be too expensive for most consumers and provide lower quality and performance.

Onlive as a product/service, if it is ever built (will cost tens of millions of dollars just to get to stage 1) will be too expensive to operate and burn through all of it's capital before declaring bankruptcy due to the fact that it's a 30 times more costly way to provide gaming to consumers.

ThanatosDMC5922d ago

Wouldnt it be more sensible to go to PS3 rather than pay monthly and probably some premiums?

It'll be better if they work like Steam but stream the games but the person owns the game not something he has to pay monthly for... it's ok to charge for the game. But to pay a premium to use servers... no thanks. They can just put ads somewhere to pay for their servers.

SCThor5922d ago

Yes, most of 360 owners will jump to OnLive. Let's be honest, people keep re-buying 360 consoles when their console RROD just because they don't want to lose all the game they bought.

@1.2: no, because PS3 exclusives so far, don't get ported to PC.

Uh....no. IF it makes anyone jump off the 360, they will jump to the PS3 or Wii.

Console gamers who aren't PC gamers right NOW aren't going to change to PC just because of OnLive. There are too many other factors involved. Many console gamers complain about the (supposed) high cost of PC gaming, the mouse and keyboard interface, not being able to play split-screen, the lack of some console games (no Mario, Solid Snake, or Kratos), and so forth. OnLive changes none of those things.

s8anicslayer5922d ago

Exactly! 360 Harware problems mean nothing at this point, if rrod was hindering the 360's success then it qwould be the #3 platform right now but it's not! so no it does not mean more onlive users!

Mindboggle5922d ago

Your right to a certain degree, but I think if the PS3 was the same price as the 360 I think many people would of probably jumped ship, but due to the high price they didnt.

I dont think many people will go to onlive but the fact it will be very cheap, im guessing less that £60 for the box and probably £10 for the PC app, might make some people go to it.

Chris3995922d ago (Edited 5922d ago )

And not just people blowing smoke. An open beta of the product for starters. A controlled GDC demo doesn't cut it. There's no evidence that they can provide the FPS or resolutions that they promise, especially with today's bandwidth and ISP issues.

BX815922d ago

That's why I signed up for the beta this summer.

Lord Shuhei Yoshida5922d ago

Those poor souls afflicted from the RROD will find comfort and refuge on the Playstation 3.The lemmings who continue to support the 360 RROD will be destroyed in Sodom AKA Xbox Live.

II Necroplasm II5922d ago (Edited 5922d ago )

by looking at the sales and the millions of gamers that are now proud to be on Xbox instead of just playing PlayStation in this Gen... I can see they do not care what your fanboy ass has to say.

http://www.tweak3d.net/arti... < did this cause anyone to not buy a PS3?

KingKionic 5922d ago

lol how could the first thing on the home page be this article.how does this even make sense...lol im sorry i cant even understand how it would just be xbox 360 owners.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Venoxn4g22h ago

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga1d 8h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis0071d ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein1d 6h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.
