After making its original announcement at this year’s E3, OnLive has released a new update to its Android and iOS app {link no longer active} to bring PC-quality high-definition gameplay to a wide range of smartphones, media players and tablet, including the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and even the Kindle Fire. Available today, the new app will add complete gameplay support for any game offered on the service, which includes some of the richest, most graphically intensive titles available, such as Batman: Arkham City, L.A. Noire, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and more.
For those who’d prefer a more traditional gaming experience, OnLive has produced a new Universal Controller that pairs with tablets and smartphones via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other wireless standards. When combined with an iOS or Android device running the OnLive app, the Universal Controller provides complete dual analog controls, triggers, and action buttons with low-latency performance. The controller can also be used with the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Mac or OnLive’s MicroConsole using a USB dongle. Up to four Universal Controllers can be paired with a single USB transmitter.
