Playstation Tablet 1,772 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 So many buzzwords then he talks about lag and other shit. “I played a 10-minute segment of one of Halo 5's early levels, up to the point you battle two Hunters for the first time. The lag was noticeable, but totally and completely playable, and more than adequate for an offline shooter. There were occasional instances of artifacting here and there, and you probably won't want to get competitive on it, but the audio delivery, the responsiveness of the controls, and the visuals were all incredibly impressive, vastly exceeding what I would ever have expected” “Now, as I noted, you could certainly tell you were playing over an internet connection. It seems Microsoft has yet to figure out how to circumvent the laws of physics to that end. But if I were to compare the latency, it was far less aggressive than simply turning off "Game Mode" on my QLED TV. Aiming and trigger pulls were right where you'd need them to be, responsive, and precise. I had wondered if the more difficult fight against the Hunters in that early Halo 5 segment would have been tough to get through on xCloud, but nope, getting around the back and popping precise shots into the orange wormy weak points was a breeze. Quite truly, I was left stunned.” Link to post Share on other sites

JonDnD 2,818 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Lmao comparing to turning game mode off. I guarantee it's a lot more lag than that. Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,772 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 The XCloud presentation was so bad. Is expected MS to go has deep into Stadia's ass this E3, and I don't even remember what they showed for XCloud. Literally. Link to post Share on other sites

The Giantbomb guys, who would be given the same demo from the same MS reps, were told that they were connecting to a data center from the Bay Area. Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,772 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Whats the pricing or XCloud. What resolution options does it offer and at what price. When is the beta. When is it coming out. Will you even be able to buy games on the app store or need to log into a different service. Like we literally don't shit about the thing. Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,313 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Why do people think GamePass is automatically going to be offered through xCloud? At the same price? Why would Microsoft give you discounted games, and then also shoulder the cost of maintaining servers and paying bandwidth for you to play those discounted games? Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Google one upped them on pricing, service or something, or upped them on some technical front a few days before. That's why they basically gave no info. Which once again means they fucked something up in their planning. Which at this point wouldn't surprise anyone. The whole gaming division is a disaster getting the benefits of the successful cloud division. Edited June 10, 2019 by Team 2019 Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,250 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) People expecting this to be vastly superior to PlayStation Now or Stadia are going to be extremely disappointed. It's going to be on par or worse. Edited June 10, 2019 by lynux3 Link to post Share on other sites

If it works beyond expectations people will pay for an instant library of games regardless. Link to post Share on other sites
