You should watch the video from Modern Vintage Gamer about the cloud versions of Kingdom Hearts.Of course they will.
They will turn more profit off of physical/digital software.
The only reason a few of them are going the Cloud route is the Switch is underpowered, but it's not as profitable a business model.
The good news is if they weren't interested in the huge Switch market, we wouldn't even be offered Cloud games, because these games need to be scaled back too much to port.
When the new Switch comes out its third party support for physical/digital games will be even stronger than it is now, substantially so.
That was on topic you said Nintendo was the only one doing it & I said Sony will also be doing it because it was in their road map."B-but Sony!" Nintendo is doing it in the here and now already. Stay on topic.
Nah I’m fine with itNo. (Also be aware of astroturfing accounts on internet forums...)
1. No amount of optimal settings will make up for a local, no latency and full media capability (raw local hdmi signal, VRR, local screen processing).
2. Nobody should wants cloud even when it becomes somewhat optimal because nobody decent intellectually capable trusts video game companies. I know gaming lobbies want to arbitrarily push for dystopian in which people pay the full price or more (without grey market and piracy concurrence which acts as market regulation against abuse), not to own the games you purchase.
Nah I’m fine with it
Can’t wait till everything is cloud and I don’t need to own any hardware and I can play it anywhere on any device. I won’t have to worry about having a PC or owning all the consoles, just a sub to a streaming service. The trade off is worth it, imo.
well, that was weirdMy sweet berry child, rushing into dystopia because you don't know you'll be a victim of it.
I mean if you're not a gamer ie. you only play CoD, Fortnite or GTA which I suspect you do, yes you'll be fine paying for a recurring subscription to access the same game while also paying micro-transaction without owning anything in the end.
But for actual gamers, this means the end of popular access to the medium and it's culture/backlog, it'll be worse than current Netflix. Thankfully some of us are smart with their cultural and digital asset especially in the wake of crypto and data-propriety laws.
You'll sub to multiple streaming services that will drain you of your money and will remove the plug whenever they feel like it. Also with streaming being popular get ready to wait in queue to get a change to play the game you are paying for, because unlike Netflix where ANY low end server can be a content server, game streaming requires more powerful hardware.Nah I’m fine with it

lol why are you guys so gloom and doom about this? its like you can only see the negative and refuse to see the positives of a streaming future.You'll sub to multiple streaming services that will drain you of your money and will remove the plug whenever they feel like it.

At least with digital, as long as your console works you can play the game and you can still play it regardless of how much other people are playing.
Already happening?lol why are you guys so gloom and doom about this? its like you can only see the negative and refuse to see the positives of a streaming future.
its going to be fine, and its already happening. you can live in the past and stick to retro all you want, no one is forcing you to move on.
its going through some growing pains but it is indeed already happening. its only going to grow from here and i believe itll be a better future than keeping everything physical or download based. there are negatives, sure, but im saying that the trade off is worth it, imo. i think you and others are refusing to see any the positives and only focus on the negatives, and hey man its your world do whatever you want.Already happening?
Streaming has been flopping for quite a while, Stadia is in the lowest it's has been for quite a while even their biggest supporters on r/Stadia are already doing post mortems.
The only place where streaming has been, kind of succeeding is on complementary services like PS Now, xCloud and Geforce Now, where streaming is only part of the deal and even then the usage hasn't been out of this world.
We focus on the negatives, because streaming only is more problems than solutions. And so far no service has been able to change that perspective.
Switch Lite as well.Cloud gaming defeats the entire purpose of Switch.
Growing pains is the understatement of the century. FIFA 22 is after Cyberpunk the best shot Stadia had of any relevance, since it's mainstream million dollar seller that where the Stadia version was objectively better than the XB1, PS4 and even the PC version, since it's based on the PS5 and XBX/S versions. Like Cyberpunk it was barely a blip on the radar.its going through some growing pains but it is indeed already happening. its only going to grow from here and i believe itll be a better future than keeping everything physical or download based. there are negatives, sure, but im saying that the trade off is worth it, imo. i think you and others are refusing to see any the positives and only focus on the negatives, and hey man its your world do whatever you want.
again, youre only focusing on the negative parts that support your argument, but youre not even mentioning all the positives. ic an see the negatives and i feel its worth the trade off. it sounds like YOU dont want it and thats fine, but that doesnt mean the majority of the world doesnt want it, and it doesnt mean that the tech cant grow and get better/faster. it will. its starting right now and as everything in its infancy, its has some road blocks and growing pains yo overcome. but streaming is here to stay, whether you use it or not, and its going to be fucking awesome once its fast and functional enough.Growing pains is the understatement of the century.

FIFA 22 has 6000 players on Stadia, even the Switch version has passed the 30k mark. FIFA 22 Switch is a reskinned FIFA 19 Switch which is in itself a reskinned FIFA 17 from the Xbox 360, not even based on the PS4 version even that is for the majority a better value proposition at full price than streaming the game.
You can keep saying that it's happening, but everything points to it NOT happening, not exclusive streaming at the very least.
Why do you keep saying "you don't want it" and trying to imply I'm the minority? Did you even read my post?again, youre only focusing on the negative parts that support your argument, but youre not even mentioning all the positives. ic an see the negatives and i feel its worth the trade off. it sounds like YOU dont want it and thats fine, but that doesnt mean the majority of the world doesnt want it, and it doesnt mean that the tech cant grow and get better/faster. it will. its starting right now and as everything in its infancy, its has some road blocks and growing pains yo overcome. but streaming is here to stay, whether you use it or not, and its going to be fucking awesome once its fast and functional enough.
you use one game as an example and think the debate is settled? lol okWhy do you keep saying "you don't want it" and trying to imply I'm the minority? Did you even read my post?
FIFA 22 is a multimillion seller, it's the top seller on pretty much every platform it is sold, except the Switch. Even when the Stadia version is objectively better than what most people have access to, it's barely a 10k seller.
If the majority wants game streaming, well they sure aren't showing up.
FIFA 22 is the top selling Stadia title as we speak, if that game is barely scrapping 10k, yes I'd call the debate settled for now.you use one game as an example and think the debate is settled? lol ok
its going to take a lot more games and a lot more time before we can call streaming dead or dying. its got a long road but i believe it will be bigger than physical or download in the long run, and i also believe the majority of the world will want it. people like you will still be doing physical and download, and have a love for retro gaming, but i think youll eventually be using streaming too. just a matter of time
I'm kinda agree with this, I mean I'm not going to cloud game on the go so if my choice are cloud or play a game on PlayStation or Xbox, why would I go with the cloud?Cloud gaming defeats the entire purpose of Switch.
And Microsoft too don't forget they are the front runner of this all. But still it's an afterthought.That was on topic you said Nintendo was the only one doing it & I said Sony will also be doing it because it was in their road map.
