Yes, for all those who haven't heard, Game Maker is now officially awesome. I don't care what any of you say bad about it. The first game maker game to be released on an Iphone is out now for a small price of 99 cents(I sure as hell ain't buying it). I can't wait to see what people are going to be able to pull off with game maker in the next 5-15 years. I am pretty sure Game maker will function with consoles like Xbox, Playstation or WII by then. Oh, the possibilities. GM is also on PSP too which is cool too. :P
Now on to another matter, some shit called Onlive came out a few days ago. Don't know what it is? I'll tell you, you lazy obese sonavabitch. Imagine Xbox Live. Now imagine it on your PC. Now, imagine being able to play high end current-gen games on your shitty 10 year old computer. Yes, you heard me right. You can now play games like Mafia 2, Red Faction and quite a few high end games, right on that shitty thing you call a computer. I played it on my somewhat average computer, and it performed without a hiccup. There are probably only about 15 games available now. But tons more should be available within the coming months. The only downside to it for me though, is that you can't actually own your game in your hands, all the games you play are through the Onlive servers, so if the Onlive servers suddenly go haywire or explode or something like that, yo ass ain't playing yo game until dat shit fixed.And obese stripper midget will be laughing at you.
Onlive has never been a good idea, chances are they will go out of business in a couple years.
Yeah, I can see your side, but I think it's a great alternative for people without an up to date console and shitty computers.
I cant wait for Enigma. That will be better because Game Maker takes up a lot of resources because everything is loaded by default.
They're still making Enigma? Last time I heard of it was two years ago at least.
So….. using Onlive, people can play the game.exe's that GM makes on an iphone?
A quick search of Onlive led me to their site, but more specifically to here: http://www.onlive.com/promo/borderlands
Which means I now NEED Borderlands GOTY Edition, solely for the Duke Nukem First Access Pass. I've been an avid Duke Nukem fan since I first played Duke Nukem on the N64, and then subsequently its predecessors as years progressed.Thank you, JID, this blog is now my hero.So the games play on a server? So what is sent back? A video?
Apple did this to 'play 3d games' on the iPad/iPhone. It was terrible because the video lagged 1 second behind constantly.@ Infinity_Plus
Well, you're welcome… I think. >_>@GlenWhat are you talking about? Did you actually read the blog. Game Maker and Onlive had absolutely nothing to do with each other.@KazYes, but I didn't have any lag.I think it's really dumb honestly. If you want an Xbox-live like system, you use Steam. The percentage of people who want to play games but don't have a good computer (OnLive's entire market), is so low that I don't see it working out well.
Kaz, they're actually planning to roll out a console that will only connect to the OnLive server. So they're planning on competing with the console market.
