OnLive Expands To Tablets & Phones
Starting this fall, OnLive subscribers will be able to play their OnLive titles via their Android tablet, iPad, iPhone, or Android smartphone.
The functionality will be enabled via an OnLive Player App that will let subscribers play almost all of their titles on their tablet of phone. Games can be controlled by either touch controls or OnLive's wireless controller, and your tablet or phone itself can be used as a controller when used with an HDTV – kind of like Nintendo's new Wii U. Multiplayer play and in-game chat is also supported via these additional devices.
OnLive's reach is impressive, but we're curious how regular console games control when using only touch controls.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
