You have to be in the beta. Wonder how long until it will be open to everyone.

It would be possible if it wasn't Steam exclusive, as a stream through OnLive. :tongue:

You could stream the gameplay, sure, but how would you control your character?

Well, weren't we supposed to pick Skyrim mods on our mobile phone to have them installed later when we play on our computer? Probably happens through that application :)

OnLive has iOS/Android compatible wireless controllers. It would be silly to play Skyrim on a tiny Android phone screen, but for something like an iPad it could work if the game was added to the OnLive service.

Which it won't be, but other games are. You could play Crysis 2 on max settings (on a compressed 720p stream with some input lag :tongue:) on an iPad if you have a decent internet connection available.

It's a very interesting service, technology wise. But it's a bit of a niche thing, I can't see myself using it.

But this is a little off topic, sorry. :P

Ha! Apple would never allow a competing app store on their devices.

"This app is incompatible with your phone."


Of course... just like every other app I want.

You can use the mobile version and the desktop version at the same time apparently. Logging into one won't disconnect the other.
