Funny you should say that. I'm basing this on GeForce which I use exclusively. It runs games from the cloud. I play Valhalla on my TV. I love rural and don't have don't have fibre.

Yes you read that. No fibre.

I recently got starlink and have been loving life. Living on a farm playing GeForce games. I loved stadia and bought into the whole thing. Raged that they cancelled it. But I got my money's worth.

Now it's not perfect but I live in rural NZ. So I have streaming to Aus to use GeForce since GeForce isn't native to NZ.

It's insane how good this cloud gaming is.

So fuck Google but first company to get a phone running on remote I will be buying

I mean I didn't mean it to be funny...so apologies if you took it as a bad joke.

But basically I just meant that I prefer (for gaming) to run the game locally than on a cloud. I barely tried remote gaming. I tried on WLAN the one from steam but only for 5 minutes. Then I tried PS Remote play last week streaming FF16 (just for testing) to my steam deck running W11 but at the home I was there was not enough bandwidth because there was a delay while moving the camera.

I usually play at 144Hz 1440p (on PC) and also at 2160p 60Hz (TV, although the PS5 gives crappy 30 FPS in many heavy games).

I also play some online games like Warzone with some friends. So if the experience of cloud gaming works for games like these then of course I'd be more happy with it.

Yeah nah. You ain't getting anything like this. Nobody who plays that kinda high level would be Happy with cloud. I'm trying to live on the cheap and since I'm nomad with no house or fixed abode.

Yoid not get that can off power from GeForce. You can't really play any competition games as latency would be too high.

I suggest everyone gives it a go as it's been great for me. But we need more people involved and more competition. If it's just GeForce then they can price it through the roof with no improvements

I'll definitely give it a shot. At least to the ones I have at home (the one from steam that uses my desktop and the one from the PS5).

I think everyone playing with it would be good. Can force them to work for the consumers and not just give us what is cheap or best for them.

Cloud works well for me as I don't need the best graphics and can't really justify buying an expensive console. Especially with how good GeForce has been. Tried Luna and it was honest just as good. Sat on my lawn playing ac origins. Was glorious
