The rumours were true of series x blades being used for xcloud effecting series x consoles manufacturing. Not even close. The bullish behavior of people for cloud gaming always amuses me. It is going nowhere, at least not in India. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaibhavp Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Why would I want to play on a Series X planted 100s of kms away when I can put one in my living room and attach directly to the screen with nothing in between? Just to save on hardware purchase cost? Maybe they should invest in reducing price of hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a long journey yes , but to say it going nowhere in india is definitely being bullish. we were bullish about a lot of things as far as xbox and ps is concerned and many have been proved wrong.

Just imagine you have been playing asphalt 9 on your mobile and get an option for forza horizon 5 or gear 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not going to be "huge" in India in the next 5-7 years. People have been harping about cloud gaming for a long time now and it is hardly popular, even in developed countries. As I said, people are too optimistic about cloud gaming for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously not meant solely for console owners but for casual mobile gamers who can get access to a catalog of much superior games than what you get on iOS/Playstore.

That point is moot considering the bandwidth requirement for cloud gaming. Majority of mobile gamers game on the move. Cloud gaming is pretty pointless in those scenarios. Not to forget, mobile games are designed in a way that you can consume/play them for shorter durations. Console games aren't designed like that (at least most are not).

gamer_adi Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 This has potential. I also remember ivg ps fans posting last year that no one was gonna get series x without big exclusives. Just look at how many have already got it in this forum itself. Without a single big fp exclusive so far. They also ridiculed gamepass. Gamepass has become the biggest game changer so far for MS.

Yes that does remain a huge constraint for cloud gaming to pick up on mobile. Currently playing at 720p on xcloud requires 2 to 3 GB per hour . But New technologies are being developed to reduce data requirement of cloud gaming. http://www.mobilevillage.com/cloud-gaming-mobile-data-breakthrough/ A lot of work is still left for cloud gaming to become mainstream . But its definitely possible . Of course not all mobile gamers will shift to cloud gaming . But the market is so huge (3 Billion mobile gamers compared to 200 million console gamers globally ) The above ratio would be way higher in India . Even if you can bring in 5% of mobile gamers to cloud gaming that expands your user base by over 70% . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not just about cloud gaming adopting better technology, but also quality of mobile internet in India. While Jio has brought a huge boom in India, the quality of connection hardly viable for 4k movie watching on the go, forget cloud gaming. No one knows what the future hold. I am obviously not going to say it won't even successful. But it is long long way off, at least in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberpunk Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Yeah cloud gaming is not for enthusiasts/hardcore gamers even in the West. But it gives an option to people for trying out a few games they are interested in. Like playing Forza/console quality games on the go instead of the usual iOS-Android games might be an USP for some. Or the ability to play those games on a work/normal laptop instead of getting those thick gaming laptops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMNTR Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I could see cloud gaming working in India. The majority population doesn't like investing in hardware but subscription services (I'd assume) have a decent adoption here. Seeing how mobile gaming exploded here, you never know what'll happen.
