"The current implementation is utter crap as the games run from a Playstation somewhere in the world, and if none is ready then you can't play at all."
Which is exactly what Xcloud does.
"Add to this the gray and brown of last gen with bad compression on a non-consistent connection, making them blocky as a PS1 game and huge lags if the console is far away. If you're idle, the service will disconnect you to make room on the server, so save before going to the bathroom."
Those are problems with all streaming services. Obviously PS3 games aren't going to look good but streaming at 720p and 30 fps requires less data. PS Now can also stream PS4 games.
Streaming games at 1080p or 4k requires a faster internet connection with more data. People complain about the quality of PS3 games on PS Now but then they complain about the data requirements. Sometimes I can't tell if people are really this dumb or they're just hating. |
Never had anything to do XCloud, so I wasn't aware of this.
I helped out a friend since he thought he botched up something when buying into the service, but it became apparent it was none of his fault.
Sony says the minimum internet connection speed should be 5Mbit, but these problems came with stable 16Mbit, and he still reported those problems almost a year later after he upgraded to 50Mbit, though the graphics looked much closer to the PS3 original by then. I think instead of 5Mbit, 25Mbit would be more realistic.
