My mind is kind of blown with the quality of xcloud. I’m playing games on Xbox without an Xbox and it looks great on even just your iPhone. I don’t know why Sony is not on the ball with this. Remote Play is trash for me but xcloud is like butter. Just smooth and flawless. I’ve tried out quite a bit in there. Dead Space remake, Hitman trilogy, A plague tale, Starfield and every game looks great. I hope they keep adding more to it.

dat dere azure putting in work.


MS is definitely a league ahead of sony in this department. It'll take a few before sony can catch up.

It streams at 1080p resolution or lower, so if you're a fan of modern gaming with all the bells and whistles in graphics it will not look good on your nice 4k TV.

Even with great internet there's still gonna be extra latency on top of what you get running a game on the console locally. This could be fine for casual low paced games but racing games, action games, fighting and other games like shooters will suffer a lot from lag.

It sure kicks the crap out of whatever Sony is doing.

Hence OP called it "next gen" you braindead moron.

It's still at it's early stages but if Xcloud performs this well ATM, can't imagine the future.

Sony’s solution is garbage. Atleast for me. Remote play constantly disconnects. Even if I’m right next to the network

How is cloud ever going to be more next gen than actually owning the hardware locally?

Yeah it really is some straight up garbage alright. Imagine buying an entire device centered around it lol.

why do we even want stuff in "the cloud"?

srs

fuk that chit

Have crushed quite a bit of Gears of War waiting on the lady in the car. Latency is there but tolerable if you compensate for it. But not ready for twitch shooters as mentioned above.

but who was Geforce Now?

You need a library with that though. Xcloud you have access to games you never even played/bought

Yeah that's basically the PC version of Sony's streaming service concept, in fact they did it much earlier with the GeForce handheld.

Dollar store remote play

I don’t get the appeal of GeForce now compared to xcloud. Pay a premium monthly just to access my own games? Wtf. The only ones getting it right is Microsoft.

Tried it. The appeal being I could play my PC games without a powerful PC, but it's been years since I had a gaming PC and not many of my games worked.
It didn't feel like I was getting a full product either. Theres limits to speeds and times.

XCloud is far better to me. I finished Monkey Island and Norco on my iPad without ever playing them on console.
Perfect for slower games. It also works on Oculus too, but it's not as if my Oculus has ever left my house so theres little point.

But they're still 3 years behind their promise on letting people played owned games. That would take it to another level.

I would love if Ultimate included some native mobile games though. Like Netflix does, but without Netflix. Especially with the new iPhone running games like Resident Evil and Assassin's Creed.
