Hear that clock ticking? OnLive, the streaming gaming service, is set to hit the UK this autumn but you won’t have to wait until then to reserve your gamer tag and get in line. The OnLive.co.uk site is set to come online next Thursday as the service makes a series of announcements at E3. Click through for details and to see OnLive in action…
As well as teasing OnLive UK, its announced that Red Faction: Armageddon will be the 100th game to be added library and Homefront multiplayer will be the coming to its monthly subscription service.
OnLive is also promising to out a new line of Intel-based TVs, Blu-ray players and set-top boxes with support for the streaming service baked in. It’s outed a universal wireless controller that it say will play nice with any OnLive compatible device including Android tablets like the HTC Flyer
According to the countdown on the OnLive website, UK players will be able to reserve their OnLive Player Tag and get in line for early access to the service at 8pm on June 7. Will you be heading over there to check out what’s on offer?
Unfortunatly, 99% of UK broadbad connections struggle to get iPlayer fullscreen without lag, let alone gaming that has to be REALLY low latency and send user input.

I agree, I get 2mb broadband and BT have told me that they aren’t upgrading the exchange for another couple of years. I can’t stream video online. Trying to play a game would be a no no
