This is exciting
this means there will be more gamers to play with
however still ps3 has there exclusive games and xbox has there exclusive games, but would be good for call of duty and other games that are across the platforms

Good point, but it does mean that PS3 and Xbox360 users alike will be able to play the exclusives from consoles they don't have!
I'm a PS3 guy, but I did own an Xbox360 for a while, purely for Halo. It would be GREAT to play that again!

Edit: Balls. Turns out that onlive doesn't do exclusive titles. Totally disregard the above, unfortunately

It's a gaming "platform", I guess. It's basically console & PC games streamed over the internet so you can play them with a dedicated viewer box, or on your PC.
Go to http://www.onlive.com/ and sign up (for free) and you can watch people's games in progress and see what's available.

No - that's the beauty of it. It streams games from their service. You still have to buy them, obviously, but they're cheaper than "the real thing".

Hey there,
I was just wondering if there are any free/paid games for HTC Hero which can make use of G-Sensor?
Something like a racing game like what is already there for iPhone where you steer the car by just turning the phone?
Thanks.
Don't know of any car games, just some other games like. Papijump, Papipole, Labyrinth, and fishing. Maybe someone can comment on a car game?
Good luck

Nothing too elaborate considering the Delay inherent with the streaming.
There may be something a little better than Tic Tac Toe (available) but it would mostly be turn based stuff as anything that requires Twitch and React will not play well.

I could see something akin to the "overview" screen that some racing games do, but as Asphyx says, the inherent delay will prevent anything timing-based from relying on both device and CC screens simultaneously.
Leaderboard, instant replay, map would be possible though.
A Battleship type game would work, as would most hide-your-hand card games, Vegas type gambling games, and trivia games.
Lots of possibilities, but ultimately it's up to the developer and how much Chromecast ties into the core gameplay. The risk is too much tie-in will limit the game's market to Chromecast owners specifically, while not enough tie-in will make Chromecast just a cute toy.
Now if someone made a game that ran on the Chromecast itself... that would be interesting, as it would obviously require a Chromecast to play. Even higher risk, but better possibility of sync between players.

Battleship is a good one! But your right unless there are millions of CCasts sold I don't see anyone really targeting it.

Buy a Nexus player? No but the issue might reside in the limitation of chromcast only using a 2.4ghz network instead of 5 GHz which might reduce the lag

I play emulators on mine every day one mine and they work great. I mainly use SuperGNES and Mupen64. I've heard there are PS1 emulators and Game cube/GBA that also work. I'll try GTA on mine later.
You need to sideload the games to it using EFS but its really easy to do. Also PS4 controllers do work from what I've seen. You can head over the the Nexus Player forum to see more because I haven't checked recently.

OK so I've been really busy with finals coning up next week, but I tested GTA San Andreas and it works great on my Nexus Player. I used the controller from the play store and it functions perfectly. You can install it directly without needing to sideload it. Just goto the play store in chrome and hit install then choose Nexus Player.
Here are some pictures of it on my TV:

After watching the demos, there's not much else to do (not into games. Just movies which is why I purchased)

You can add your downloaded movies to the sd card folder titled " Oculus/movies/myvideos"
I bought it for the same reason.
But where can I download movies.... Like movies just out of theater?
I use torrent pro, its the best full featured torrent downloader I have found for android, PM me for more info.

This is why they reiterate that this is for developers and not consumers. There's no reason to be disappointed if you read what it could do right now before buying. The consumer wish list might come true tomorrow, or might not happen for awhile or ever on this edition.

It would be much easier if one of the VR video player supported Ultraviolet DRM (most Blu-ray releases let you download an MP4 with this type of protection).
Until we have that or a native store, you could always pay for the movie, then feel alright with downloading it. If you prevent seeding (by setting an upload cap of 0 perhaps), you're not contributing to others downloading without paying. It's totally a moral gray area, but something you could consider if you're really dedicated to buying movies to watch in VR (in a roundabout way); and definitely something for torrenters to consider now and then (paying for discs or downloads, that is ).
There's probably going to be more free content out there as time goes on, too. It's a small trickle now, but I've been seeing more and more 360 video interest, manufacturers, and content over the past several months.
Finally burned a cd and converted to mp4. Works well but takes too long. I'm not the type to spend 30 mins making a compatible movie.
