OnLive caused rifts earlier this year with its plans to release “cloud gaming” software, which would allow users and gamer aficionados to use software to play video games, instead of piecing together often-expensive hardware to run the latest gaming titles.
However, without even determining an actual release date, OnLive claims that it’ll be possible to stream games and play them live on your iPhone. AppleInsider reports that at a recent even in New York, the company touted that its software could run on two separate phones, a television, and a computer simultaneously, with gamers on all devices able to communicate back and forth with each other.
CEO Steve Perlman admits that it’s just a “tech demo”, but doesn’t elaborate on how accurate the demo really is.
Though OnLive’s service sounds like a plausible advancement in gaming, we agree that we’ll have to see this service in action to believe that it’s really that powerful.
