Cloud gaming sucks due to latency, not price.


Which is something we already knew a decade ago.

Just like we knew self-driving AIs are not reliable.

The magical thinking was assuming they would just get better.


Cloud gaming can have lower latency than local consoles. https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2022-geforce-now-rt...


Played forza motorsport 5 on xbox cloud gaming and could not notice it. Of course I am the most non-serious player ever, but I really tried to notice, and for my standards it was fine.


maybe I'm just over sensitive to it, but I can't even stand playing when the tv isn't on game mode. can't imagine waiting for controller input to make a server roundtrip


Not even an issue anymore. I have no issue playing FPS games like call of duty multiplayer via GeForce Now and can be decently competitive. I do live close to the servers though.
