OnLive Game Service has just been integrated into the
LG Smart TV with Google TV (G2 Series), making games
instantly playable on the TV screen.
The OnLive app is the first commercial deployment of
cloud gaming in a TV with no console necessary. OnLive
allows users to continue playing their save games on
the go, on nearly any PC or Mac, and many Android
tablets.
The OnLive app was delivered over the air today to the
LG G2 Series TVs that are already in homes and will be
preinstalled on future LG Google TVs. With the OnLive
Wireless Controller (available at
onlive.com/controller), LG G2 TV owners in the United
States can go to the Premium Apps menu on their TVs and
play video games on demand.
With a single purchase, OnLive games can be played on
any OnLive-compatible device-on PC, Mac, many Android
tablets, TVs with the OnLive Game System, and now LG G2
TVs-anywhere there is broadband. OnLive also enables
cross-platform multiplayer gaming, so that an LG G2 TV
owner will be able to play with (or against) friends on
PCs, Macs and tablets.
Games can be demoed free and purchased or rented a la
carte, or players can subscribe to the OnLive PlayPack
for unlimited play of more than 200 games. OnLive also
offers free access to unique social features, such as
game spectating in the OnLive Arena, recording
ten-second Brag Clip videos of players' best gaming
moments, and sharing videos and Achievements with
friends on OnLive and Facebook.
