Well OnLive seems to be making a lot of news over the past couple of days whether it’s regarding their possible pricing structure change in the near future for all upcoming games or adding full Xperia Play support which landed this morning. OnLive has switched the free game you get when you download the OnLive app, put a bunch of games on sale and are holding a gaming contest.
OnLive is faced with a bit of an issue now that they are available on Android phones and tablets and soon to be on iOS devices as well. This little issue is about the overlapping of games and how they plan to combat that. One idea they are throwing around is that future OnLive games could end up being broken down into episodes.
We knew this day was coming for quite some time even seeing it already running on a Motorola Xoom back during E3 2011. OnLive’s gaming service is now fully available for Android devices which means, through the app, you will be able to stream console games right to your Android device.
Earlier in September you may remember Engadget and other sites, such as ourselves, reporting on a DIY project that had someone streaming Wii games to their Android tablet, an Asus Transformer to be exact. Ever wonder how they managed to do that aside from the brief description in the articles? Well here’s how!
Last year we reported on Gamestring and their Adrenaline service which would allow you to stream your games from your PC to your Android device to play them. It came along with a demonstration of World of Warcraft of an HTC Desire which looked to run fairly well.
It’s been floating around for awhile that GameStop would be getting involved in the mobile gaming scene. In fact we’ve known this to be true for some time now and with the recent announcement of their iOS device trade-in program, the news today that GameStop is testing an Android-based gaming tablet shouldn’t be a surprise.
We already know that OnLive’s game streaming service is heading to Android devices soon thanks to their new Universal Controller. Hell we’ve already planned with it on a Motorola XOOM back during E3 2011. Well there is a rumor floating around GamesCom that the first device to get it is the HTC EVO 4G.
With Steam possibly/probably coming to Android and other game-streaming/DLC services heading our way, it seems GameStop is gearing up to be in the battle. According to a job listing, GameStop is looking for a developer to port over their game-streaming Spawn Player to Android devices from recently purchased Spawn Labs.
