yakov_a_jerkovПо-моему, интересная -- New tech could make consoles obsolete.
What if you could stream top-end games to your TV, just like a Youtube video that you can control? You'd never need to buy a console again.Звучит интересно. Нсколько это реально? Я не очень понимаю, как можно практически совсем убрать требования к hardware пользователя. Это потому что игра будет проходить на сервере, а на компьютере пользователя только картинка будет отображаться?
That's the future envisaged by Palo Alto startup OnLive, which plans to launch a groundbreaking gaming service this winter. OnLive will supply players with a small set-top box, not much bigger than a Nintendo DS, which will plug into your TV and your home broadband connection. From there, you can start playing games just like those on the Xbox 360, PS3 or PC -- but with no install time, no waiting for downloads, and no need for big, noisy, expensive consoles cluttering up your living room. OnLive's service can be continually upgraded, too, so you'll never be stuck with obsolete hardware again.
