Cries in South America
Still have a long long way to go for cloud gaming to take off globally imo. And that's without taking into consideration internet speeds and other factors out of their control.

Project xCloud demo featuring Forza Horizon 4; public trials later this year
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Now I understand why publishers keep lying to consumers
I've tried bringing it up in the past but nobody cares lol. It's usually used for shit posting and trolling and those people aren't really looking for facts. The funny part is there are numerous actual bad Kinect demos out there that they could use.
As for this demo I curiously await the public trial and subsequent impressions from participants.
Demo looks faked or the tech isn't really ready yet.....but im sure it will be fine once it releases, if google an nvidia can make preety good low latacy streaming options I see no reason Microsoft can't too.
And they haven't. I used the E3 beta of PSNow and it wasn't great. It was much better by launch. What shape was it in prior to the beta? Who knows, but that's the stage that MS are at right now. Public trials are this year so we should have plenty of actual hands-on impressions then.
Is Faked Demo or a Laaaaaaagy Demo.....and, to be honest, I think that a Fake Demo could be the best scenario for MS because if is not a Faked Demo then...that's a pretty. pretty bad way to showcase a Streaming service.
Does any company ever do public demos like this that aren't obviously fake/staged?
So you don't see how it is relevant when they kept saying cloud computing in CD3 is like 20 times the power of one x1 and in the end it could not even match the destruction of red faction guerrilla on ps3 and x360?
All the damn time. Hell sometimes stuff goes wrong, other times you get articles describing how stuff almost went wrong etc.
Just because they couldn't replicate it on a larger scale doesn't mean the demo was fake. That was long before the game actually launched. Games can go under a lot of changes during development. As long as they're not lying about the final form of the game that they're launching I see no issue.
I'm talking about faking a reveal in its entirety. Since the kinect bull they haven't done that.
Definitely real thats just how forza plays and I can imagine with lag it would be just like that.
90% of the first page needs to take the heaviest L ever, geez yall quick to judge with no knowledge.

Microsoft has done real live demos in the past that have not been too successful
Sometimes companies demos products under fake conditions though.

In this xcloud demo I think it's more due to bad conditions like in the following instance
uhhh, i havent read through the thread but are her inputs even being represented in the game? did they just play a video on a phone to pass it off? LOL
FWIW Microsoft is notorious for not staging their tech demos, too. Way too many instances of on-stage fuck-ups, unless they've intentionally muddied the waters, which is a higher order level of conspiracy.
The Live E3 stage demo for Zelda: Skyward Sword went completely haywire and Miyamoto was very embaressed by it. I'm unsure if this was actually true but the guy onstage seemed to think the thing was being messed up by the like thousand wireless devices in close proximity.
Google already did a public beta of their tech called project stream
ive played HUNDREDS of hours of horizon. it doesnt look real to me. the only thing that maybe matches is her constant taping of the accelerator
This demo, faked or not, is worse than PS Now in terms of latency.
5G. Plus not all of the underground is actually underground. Still thought it was an odd thing to say in the video tho!
Based on what? A thirty second clip? Or you have actual evidence of this? From what I've seen they're on par with one another. Fortunately Ms isn't charging for this yet. Still time for them to improve it more.
Yes, based on this 30 second clip. That's literally all we have to go on. And you don't even have a PS4, how would you know what the latency is like? We literally have a thread on Era in the last day of users experiencing PS Now for the first time in new territories, nearly all of them talking about how low the latency is, nigh on imperceptible to local play for some users.
Even at launch when PS Now was worse than it is today, it still registered around 50ms to 100ms latency in tests, and what we're seeing in this short snippet in the OP is orders of magnitude more delayed than that. Eg it looks like a second or more in delays as oppose to milliseconds.
Right. He says one thing I say the other. Neither has proof as far as I know. That's why I asked
Not that difficult to understand...
Based on this demo clip. PS Now tested at CES 2014 didn't have that kind of lag. This demo is much worse. Anyway, why bother.
Okwy
Doesn't look like it to me. Guess we'll find out when the public trials launch! Hope I get selected. Or even better, hope it's an open trial! You gonna try for yourself? Let's touch base after!
Yeah, I know. I was in the Beta and it was pretty good and that is why I'm asking why is Google seemingly so ahead of them on this where they were actually doing a Beta last year.
Look at when her left finger hits LT and when the car's brake lights turn on. It looks pretty responsive to me.
If this is real, then the whole "Microsoft have Azure and they said that they made latency breakthroughs" needs to be looked at as a giant joke now. If Azure is supposed to be the game changer, then even in bad conditions wherever this was held shouldn't be an issue
I think these are the best conditions possible. On the Microsoft campus, near the Quincy datacenter.
Its real. Not sure where others are getting "fake"from. Clearly she's playing the game in real time and it controls pretty well.
