Logitech and Tencent announce partnership for new cloud gaming handheld

Viri · Aug 7, 2022

If I wanted to play game streaming, why wouldn't I just get a controller, and use one of my many Android phones instead? There are tons of controllers that hold your phone properly on Amazon. Also, I tried Xbox's cloud streaming for a dollar before, and had very very very bad experience with it, and my internet(300/300) isn't bad at all. I don't know if things improved, but this was last year

I tried to play Morrowind on my phone/Xbox One/PC web browser, and it was unplayable. Yes, I own Morrowind on PC, but I was curious.

This thing will have to be very cheap to catch on. lol

Trash, nobody will buy this.

Ew, holy shit! Fucking GROSS! Putting aside all the flaws of Tencent, putting aside my gripes with game streaming and how it'll kill game preservation, all of my gripes with devices dedicated to an online service that can be terminated at any time, all of that, why do we need something dedicated to that when a mobile phone is already a platform for it?

This is an absolute disaster. If it has the name Tencent on it, AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Logitech was always the cheap/tacky peripherals maker in the 90s. I don't know if that's changed now but I wouldn't expect this to be a quality/expensive product.. and if it's not dirt cheap then it's already dead before launch.

How many cloud gaming fails does it need for them to learn their lesson? People like to own their videogames and would like to still be able to play even though support has ended for a long time. This is why retrogames are big and why piracy will never die. Why not try to compete with MS gamepass instead? At least that business model still lets you download the files to your pc

The rise of downloadable games sadly says otherwise.

Hard pass.

Exactly. Fuck that.

Logitech, please don't do a tech partnership with China. Please no. After Xi, maybe.
No country should be doing tech partnerships with China, full stop.

This is just stupid
One of the appeals of handheld gaming is that you dont need an internet connection to play.
This completely defeats the purpose

Cell signal in the USA is so bad that even with a dual SIM phone (T-Mobile+AT&T), I can barely get enough signal and/or bandwidth on either SIM to check email and play Pokemon Go. Speeds on both 4G and 5G on both networks are just a fraction of what 3G was 10 years ago and keep getting worse as the cell companies keep merging and not increasing tower capacity.

Aside from the fact that a $10 controller mount allows my phone to do everything this device does and more, the infrastructure in the USA simply does not support this kind of cloud gaming.

That has more to do with where you live in the US. I get full signal 5G practically everywhere on T-Mobile and I don't live in a city. That said... It's still unusable for cloud gaming. I get a full second of lag (or more) on any streaming service over 5G. Feels native on my home connection.

Looks like all those intel celeron fans will finally get the respect they deserve!

Finally, another way to play games on the go. It's not like mobile phones exist and can do the same thing...

Wanna know the crazy thing? My internet is pretty good(I get 0-5 ping on fortnite wirelessly, and 40 ping on apex which for apex legends is very good) and cloud streaming is still super laggy. So they want to take outdated hardware that can probably barely decode the internet as a whole and try to go somewhere with it.

It's probably going to run android like all the other handhelds

Yeah, even if I was big on cloud gaming, idk why you wouldn't get one of the many devices that can game offline and online.

Bladexdsl · Aug 12, 2022

guess they never saw what happened with stadia

Veho · Aug 31, 2022

Three photos of the device have "leaked," or rather have been made available on the down low to generate buzz. Stupid lazy marketing trick, bah.
Anyway. The device looks nice, is still pointless.

This is literally a handheld designed for the cloud. Why are we rioting over this?

"It's useless because phones can do it" oh yeah let me just play Spyro on a much smaller screen with the fucking touchscreen controls.

"It's useless because my internet connection sucks" damn, I had no idea your backyard was the entire world.

"It's useless because you don't own cloud games" first of all, you haven't owned any game since the 90s, letalone all the digital games you're playing now. Second, you can play games on this thing using your Remote play to play the games you already have. Crazy, right? Oh, and apparently you can run apps natively too.

Not to flame or anything but can y'all try to keep your head out of your ass? This can be a good handheld, if done properly. You don't need 0ms of input lag in every single playstation game.
