The Cloud gaming service that everyone’s expecting to dominating gaming, makes another aggressive move. Today Onlivereleased their Andriod App, which allows most smart phones and tablets using Android OS, to play console quality games on the go. Over the past few months Onlive has picked up almost every major release in gaming. Hit’s like Assassin Creed Revelations, and Batman Arkham City released the same day as retail on Onlive’s Cloud Gaming service.
We take a walk around the Cloud Gaming Graveyard - listing all the failed cloud gaming services over the last decade.
We discuss the ups, the downs, and overall history of this technology. Turns out running a successful cloud gaming service that addresses the various technical hurdles and actually makes money is a real challenge.
GB: "With this feature, we take a look back at the incredible Batman: Arkham City with the aim of analyzing it from the perspective of a 2024 release."
Reviews are finally out for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and the game's Metacritic review score means Marvel still hasn't toppled DC.
The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.
All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?
Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.
You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.
To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.
IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8
Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.
SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.
And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.
'' here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece''
You know that train is never late.
Once the widespread application of 4G along with it being Unlimited happens Onlive will surely strive.
The death of mobile dedicated handhelds?- Maybe not but it will surely decline.
I will check out this onlive app whenever I get asus transformer prime.
*smirks* all when all the telecoms are pushing to be able to heavily limit bandwidth...and some already are.
go onlive! idiots.
now this is awesome
