WhatsInTheName Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 The service needs to be launched by a company (Xcloud, Stadia, PSNow, whateva) in the country first. So, nothing in India yet. I used to play on Xcloud in France. The small screen wasn't for me. But, everything else was fine. I played Dirt, DMC, Civ and some story based games. The lag is being blown out of proportion. Its not that bad. Of course, if someone wants to play an FPS where even a split second counts, and she/he wants to play it on cloud only, then there is something wrong with that person's expectations and knowledge of how technology works. Cloud cannot compete with wired latency; or even wireless for that matter where player is sitting mere meters away from the machine running the code. So, cloud gaming is the "filler", not the "replacement". Its a method which can let you have a casual game to pass time when you want to play but dont feel like switching on your console or launch a game on PC. I would be surprised to find any advertisement by any of these cloud gaming companies promoting it as a "replacement". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude like seriously this is the third or fourth time you are dictating the mods on why someone should or why shouldn’t be “banned” Maza aane laga hai kya ?!? I think that if everyone, and I mean everyone, got together for a meet and had long discussions, it’d be super awesome! I think gaming brings people together like nothing else. It is a great platform to bring like-minded people together and in the back of mind, everyone is very happy to found this company of people irrespective of arguments. Maza to ayega hi ??

Has anyone here had any sort of first hand experience?!? How does it work?! It's not cloud streaming per-se, but the best I can think of in India is MMORPGs. When you're playing games like WoW or FF14, you generally have to play with EU guys (No Indian servers, too high pings in US and high pings + language barriers in China, Japan and all of Asia east of us). When playing in EU servers, the latency is around 120-130 ms, which is decent enough. It's absolutely fine for SP, I would say. Decent for MP, but horrible for competitive and extreme reaction based games. Something like competitive esports, or very difficult content (Like the mythic raids in MP games) - you will do better to avoid.

As I said, it was MMORPG, not full cloud game. But theoretically, 4k 60 fps should make no difference. In cloud, the HW or Download/Upload speed is not the problem. What is important is the latency (which is different from DL speed). The difference between the 2 - if you have low FPS, game will run very choppy and look like a slide show. This should not be the case at all. But if you have a very high latency - your key presses will not register. So for example, the world will look fine. It will look like it is running in high FPS. All NPCs will be moving normally at high FPS. But if you press the jump key, for example, your character will not do anything immediately. It will jump after 3-4 seconds. At extreme high latency, it might not jump at all. If you cast a spell, you might see the cast bar 2-3 times for 1 cast. Essentially, every key press has to go to the server, which will register the button press for you. That's why latency is so important. At very low latency (Like say 1 ms - 10 ms), your button presses will be registered instantly, and it will feel like you are playing on your own system. On the MMORPGs I played, in EU servers, there is not much issue. 100 ms-130 ms is decent as I said. Your button presses register quite fast. You can easily play the vast majority of games. But say, you are playing a game that requires very quick button presses. Something like say - Sekiro, where you need to carefully time your parries. In this case, it will be extremely difficult to play, because you will have to account for the fact that your character will block/parry only 2 seconds after youactually press the parry button.

Wish I had just youtube'd it because the story and cutscenes were all that were good. The gameplay was from two decades ago and graphics looked like PS360 cross-gen title, which it was.

Used to get 70 ish latency in overwatch and I played it for 300 hours. Yep. Been playing Overwatch all these years with ping ranging from 60~110 ms. No issues at all. I think 150+ is when it starts getting noticable. Edited June 29, 2021 by dylanjosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure by now you know that number was for all variations of switch .. also the number for PS4 includes sales of original PS4/Slim/Pro , same for xbox one . And your point about Switch selling more than 4 generations of Xbox's combined was clearly made up so stop defending it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people before me have tried explaining it to you so I m not gonna waste my / your time on it . Also anything I or they say is just our opinion and not a fact .Anything you or radical or that "Hope" guy say is an opinion not a fact . Only thing I can say for a fact is Xbox one was hated here on IVG .And now a lot of people have bought Xbox series S/X here . And all of these will buy or have already bought PS5 . MS must have done something right to get all these people to buy their consoles ( Gamepass and acquisitions of studios to make high quality exclusives ) Globally too Xbox series S/X have been selling well ( yes not as much as PS) but the numbers are good . Numbers speak for themselves . Opinions don't . Edited June 29, 2021 by Krazyniks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Acquisition of studios has not done a single squat of fruitful labour up until this point When it will I’ll gladly credit those studios along with M$ over & above them As far as popularity right now,we all know that’s cos of an unusual market penetration attempt with GamesPass which I have credited as a great offering just not a replacement for quality being offered elsewhere & only being done to stay afloat to carry them into the cloud Don’t expect them to give away as much of deals & offerings as they are doing right now when they are on top of that game Also the guy you are comparing me with has made a fool of himself numerous times discrediting ace developers & franchises who actually elevate the bar in gaming (rather than cheap tricks) For instance he made fun of PS getting nothing but useless “Japani” games in e3 2015 while the star of M$ show was a Platinum game which he was hyping on the threads side by side simultaneously 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
