We had a feeling that this week’s Game Developers Conference would yield some major news concerning the upcoming OnLive streaming game service and we were not disappointed. At the VentureBeat@GDC keynote address today, OnLive’s head man Steve Pearlman stated the service would officially launch on June 17 at a basic cost of $14.95 a month. The first 25,000 qualifed people to pre-register for OnLive will have that monthly fee waived for three months. Renting or purchasing of games on the service is a separate fee but no prices have been announced.

The service will support both PCs and Macs via a browser plugin. VentureBeat reports that OnLive will feature between 12 and 25 game titles at first including recent games like Mass Effect 2, Borderlands and Assassin’s Creed 2. More games will be added to the service over time. OnLive will later allow the service to run on televisions via a small set-top device. Today’s announcement of a June 17 launch date is a few months later than OnLive’s original plan to launch their service in the “winter 2009″ time period. The big question: Will this streaming game service perform as planned with hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of gamers signed onto OnLive?

GDC 2010: OnLive to launch on June 17 for $14.95 a month for PC and Mac originally appeared on Big Download Blog on Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

With the announcement that Valve would bring its line-up of games and its Steam download service to the Mac, there seems to be a resurgance of interest in releasing games for Apple’s machines. The truth is that Apple doesn’t seem to have much interest in gaming on their Macs and laptops (gaming for the iPhone and iPod touch is another matter) but if Steam is successful on the Mac that could change.

Right at the moment the big game on the Computer is Battlefield Bad Company 2. The Universal Gaming Database web site contacted developer Digital Illusions to see if they had any plans to port their first person shooter for Apple’s machines. The encouraging response was, “We’re currently investigating the possibility of making BFBC2 available on Mac.”
