LiveSpace

I remember when news slipped about Live Space what an exciting idea which seemed to already be 98% polished and complete and ready for the market. But that was almost two years ago and we haven’t heard anything since. Here is a link to the original post made two years ago http://blog.modtv1337.com/2008/08/live-space-the-holy-grail-of-mmo/

All that was known was David greenspan co founder of myspace was working on a massive open world where you could live  your social life online ( video in the link above )

OnLive

Then there was news of a company called OnLive using similar technology,  running  high end graphics via the high end server then streaming the content to your handheld or pc. With this method they too are able to  run games that would other wise require high end hardware.

Everything would run server side, no need for high end hardware  they said and when looking at the information that slipped for live space tech crunch also discovered the company backing live space was Otoy. Two years ago if you looked at the site it was just being built now you can see that they’ve been developing the backing end for this exciting  technology all along.

Otoy

Otoy makes  it possible for you to play crysis on your iphone O.o

Altho it’s exciting to know you no longer need to have the latest gpu to enjoy good games, i feel that bus speed will always be faster. No matter what they say lag will be inherent and if not i would be very curious as to how they got over this historical hurtle. Otoy’s proposition is exciting but i doubt it will kill the already too popular xbox as i said before and what i will say again only time will tell but what’s good news for all you mac fanboys out there you can now game your little heart out without having to use some third party application  and if anything this is a windows killer  now that there is a nice fast easy way to play games in the browser i dont think anyone will be interested in windows anymore when there are far more exciting operation systems out there like linux. you heard it here first

Otoy the Microsoft Windows killer.
