Holy wow those tow mirrors. Mine.dont stick out nowhere near that far.
 
Very nice. I welcome a world in which Xbox Cloud (whatever they're calling it these days) is in many TV's.

Imagine traveling, staying in a nice hotel, and not having to lug around a console or handheld, rather just a controller. Just sign into Xbox on the TV in your room and go to town.

Good luck with shitty hotel wifi.

The spike is not when people understand what it is, it is because of the showcase where it was featured, so logically more people search for it. You see interested died down immediately again after that moment. So I think your reasoning there doesn't make much sense.

Didn't do much reasoning but I'd say Starfield spiked okay considering it was the first showcase for a new IP with a 2023 release date. Will probably trend higher next year when release date (or delay) rumours are circulating.
Either way, as shown it's all just white noise on a flat line compared to Elden Ring's post-release and post-metacritic 96 hype 🚀

For fucks sake. Some of you act like you have never seen a girl. Regardless of if you want to let us know you would have sex with her or if you are white knighting for her, it doesn't matter. None of this should be in the topic and most of you don't have a shot.

As for streaming, I thought when I got 1 gig service I would be golden. Nope. I still get perceivable lag on every service I have tried. I get better results streaming from my home consoles than I do through either service. Also, even if streaming to a TV was a good experience, it's definitely not going to be a deciding factor for me when I shop for a new one.

I mean she's gay. No shit people don't have a shot.
 
On a quality line, 80meg my games pixelate very often on gamepass streaming be it on phone or xbox. By often I mean easily 3 or 4 times a minute. Worse than I used to notice using onlive and not a patch on any video streams. I accept because it is in beta and a quick way to demo games, but have they sorted this for the app? Because they have not for my devices...

Haha, no thank you! I don't rely on my TV to play games. I would never ever connect my TV to my network. For the same reason I would not connect any fridge/freezer or random crap that has a network port/wifi.

Also, I want the image quality.
 
The great thing about a thread like this is that it makes it real easy to identify worthless posters (and most likely humans) for my ignore list.

Sorry if asked an answered but any bench marks to back this up?

You want her to bench her ability to NOT perceive latency?


Noting that for alot of people ~100ms of latency is basically the same as no latency cuz they are already used to console gaming on LCDs which have anywhere from 80 to 150ms of latency.

xCloud was already hitting the sub 150ms mark of latency 3 years ago, by now and with Samsung theyve got to have it within or well below the Gamemode off levels of latency, so for the target market it would be imperceptible amounts of latency.

That is nice but I'd like to see someone run bench marks of the lag just the same. If it is low enough it's a great win

Digital Foundry tested a bunch of streaming services earlier this year...

xCloud is due to get an update that will reduce latency, so xCloud probably will have the potential to come close to GeForce Now, which in DF Outriders 60fps testing had lower input latency than native Series X.

Curious. Why does native PC have much lower latency than native Xbox?

Probably from the wireless controller compared to KB/M and possibly type of v-sync being used.

Could be. They don't really explain their methods at all whether it is wired vs wireless.

Possibly. I would think they would try and compare like-for-like framerates since they are really trying to see how streaming fares. Not sure. Maybe it says in the article. Don't care enough to look.

Nah, I'm wrong. The table shows the frequency they are running the tests at so that's not it.

The benchmark would be largely irrelevant unless its you running it yourself.
Which you literally can do on your PC right now.

Its streaming tech, so net speed/distance to server/local hardware etc etc will make the test practically pointless to everyone not in that room at that exact moment because of all those variables.

Assume average case of the same as playing a 30fps console game on your LCDTV and a worst case of Microsoft Powerpoint.
 
I'm struggling to be impressed. Who is the audience for this? Everyone who I know who wants to play games has a means to do so (console, pc, handheld, etc,) Why would someone go to their TV to play games?

Then with streaming games, in the best case scenario, you can't play anything competitive, or action oriented, so your limited in your game choices.

The "what" is impressive, the "why"is the part I'm missing.

Then try upgrading your glasses. Claiming steaming looks 100 times worse is absolutely not normal for that speed.

You'll get the odd bit of artifacting, but image quality should be close to native.

There are way more people in the world than the gamers you personally know.

Some can't afford consoles. Some dont want to buy an Xbox. Some can't afford to hook up consoles to every TV in the house. Most can't travel with their consoles.

This should basically give you a console experience on your TV.

Not sure why you're struggling to understand the use cases for this.

They can afford high speed internet and travel but they can't afford a 300-dollar console? I don't buy it.
