Re: 3 Steam Announcements

Wow, that's awesome, so I guess they're going for a local version of Onlive or something.

Sounds more like a Chromecast kind of deal to me. Pretty cool news, thanks for sharing Koil! Also '3 Steam Announcements' - the number 3 is in that title, and there are two words and one number which equals 3. Half Life 3 Confirmed.

So something like Playon or something, where you're streaming to another computer/terminal on the same network?

Sounds like it. Although when I'm using Chromecast and I hit pause or whatever on my device there is a discernible lag, less than a second usually but it is there. So if it is the same kind of technology I'm interested in how they will get around that for gaming.

I did a bunch of tests with Onlive back when there was a free trial for it, and I didn't notice a discernible lag, even though the system warned me I might get one by using a WiFi connection.

Do you think the issue was chromecast tech or your internal network?
