Has anyone else tried this yet?
I picked up Space Marine for £1 earlier today and I have to say I was quite pleasantly surprised by the service. Initially I had been sceptical about the whole idea of streaming a game over the net but after trying it for a while I'm wondering if this might be the shape of things to come...?
Yes the resolution is somewhat lower than we're used to and there is a small but noticeable amount of input lag but the game still looks great and plays perfectly well.
Since the service just requires a decent net connection it's not unreasonable to assume that the technology could be distributed in cheap consoles or built in to TVs. Compatibility and piracy issues could be sidelined and prices could be slashed. It's not without it's down sides from a players perspective but as a mainstream distribution method I wonder if this is the beginning of the next stage of gaming.
