I've got Hitman 3. It runs at a very low resolution. But the framerate is very stable as long as the connection is stable and wifi won't cut it. I love the game and I honestly couldn't care less about the game looking like mudd smeared across the screen as long as it runs smoothly.

I would not buy a cloud game anywhere.

What would you prefer on the Switch?

a) Witcher III cartridge as is

b) Witcher III streaming 1080p 60fps with known streaming limitations

Native port because I can play in handheld and it won't kick me out of the game after 10 minutes without inputs. It looks good enough for me.

Cloud ports on the Switch to me makes quite a lot of sense if done correctly and if priced right but sadly, the companies generally phone it in like this.

What they should have done is went to Nvidia and used their Cloud Streaming tech instead:

The reason is as shown in the image above, Nvidia's GeForce Now which is a cloud game streaming service offers you lower latency than a game running on the Xbox Series X natively. And of course, you have the option of choosing a Cloud PC with a 3080! On top of that, the Streaming quality from GeForce now is also a lot better than xCloud/Stadia. Now it will obviously depend on server location but the fact that it's doable is pretty crazy. And that's the type of innovation that can make Cloud gaming work for the right type of person. Instead, we get full priced games with subpar cloud experience for the Switch...

Fuck the cloud

I have absolutely no interest in cloud gaming, regardless of the platform.

heh plebs not being near a datacenter

Luckily, Switch owners don't care so much for graphics/ 60 fps. So I think this cloud strategy is fine for the developers.

Would you could you on a boat? In a train? On a plane?
