Default Anyone tried the new Onlive app?

Curious if anyone has tried Onlive on the Plus yet? I have it installed, but keep getting connection errors.

Yep, worked fine on my Tab7+, was on wifi (Comcast) at the time. Pretty compelling app, may have to try going through a game or two on it.

My Tab dislikes my work wifi, so I'm hoping it will work when I get on my home network. I'm curious if controller support only works with the new Onlive controller or if it will work with a PS3 controller too.

I think it's only onlive controller. Don't know if there is a workaround.

Default Onlive

Wouldnt work on my work network, oddly enough (Business class). However at home it let me in. Menus are laggy as all hell. Gameplay was acceptable at times, however there are lag spikes which cause slowdown and than super speed while it catches up. Very dependent on your network speed. Was still quite a thrill playing these games in the palm of your hand though.

Yeah, it's definitely not perfect, but hopefully a sign of good things to come. It would be great for some turn based games like Civ.

OnLive worked quite well for me... I think it's highly dependant on internet speed / latency though. (I have 50mb up/50mb down and 7ms ping)

Controls on the touchscreen are limited. If you're going to do it serious I'd get an onlive controller.

I bought the Onlive controller, it'll arrive tomorrow. Will let everyone know if it works with the tab.

Hello all,

Just want to give you a quick status update:

1). Onlive App works flawlessly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+
2). I bought the Wireless controller, pair it via Bluetooth with my GT7+ and it works
3). I can start Onlive app, play Lego Batman (FREE if you register) and use the Wireless controller to play.

The wireless controller, once connected to Bluetooth, can even control the GT+. I use Go Launcher and I can move left and right to different screen, play music by pressing the "Play" button on the controller, etc.

So now I can play pretty much ANY games on Onlive via my GT7+. Lego batman, Just Cause 2, and HomeFront multiplayer.

One thing to note: pairing the BT requires following the instructions in here.
Once it's done, it's a breeze!
