IEEE Spectrum sits down with Steve Perlman, the brains behind OnLive. They discuss some of the technology behind OnLive, and get into a few of the details of the service:
Spectrum: How many game developers are on board so far?
SP: We’ve partnered with 11 game companies so far, including Electronic Arts, Epic Games, and Warner Bros. Games. And we’re partnering with both major and private game developers.
Spectrum: How often will OnLive update its hardware to keep up with the latest in graphics technology?
SP: Every six months, which is more often than most hard-core gamers do now. So just as Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and ATI are upgrading processors, we’ll roll in new servers. That way you’ll always have the latest and greatest technology.
