  • Thanks to Shadow for sponsoring today's video! Check them out at lmg.gg/c2eqf
    Cloud gaming is getting more popular, and we're not strangers in how they work, but have you actually thought about what the hardware looks like when you play games or whatever on them? We convinced Shadow to send us one of their units, and they actually agreed to it... I hope they knew what they were agreeing to.
    Check out the video where we toured their office and even their data center at • The gaming PC days are...

      I mean, also the latency issue is realistically not going to go away. Encoding, decoding, error correction, data transfer and routing just take time. If your goal is to play anything that requires fast reactions you'll never be able to use this sort of service unless we come up with a completely different way of transmitting information which I wouldn't bank on.

    I know you already did the review and was curious of what hardware they were using and this was a very nice video.

Trust me latency is gone after that, you can't notice you're playing on a cloud gaming machine.

The low-tier gpu mainly to stay on a reasonable power consumption level for a system never intended to go beyond HD movie playback and snes/psx emulation :) besides that it was totally overkill for the purpose :p (120gb ssd boot-drive, 4tb archival harddisk for main media) but it would run fine on a mini 160w "picopsu" which you'd basically stick right into your mobo's 24-pin slot.

    I've been using Shadow for several months now from Canada and have been really impressed. Multiple friends signed up after they tried it. It's similar to youtube style compression in that when you have a ton of fast moving artifacts on screen it compresses then sharpens like Linus said. I've had a great experience using Shadow on my Nvidia Shield on my 4k tv.
    Did full play-throughs of Fallen Order, Control, NFS Heat, A Way Out, Snowrunner, (most of) Death Stranding, Watch Dogs 2, Detroit Become Human, and Battlefront 2... and all played really really well. Also is really playable for something like Warzone.
    Huge benefit that most people seem to forget is that they have clients for OSX as well as Windows. Meaning everyone I know who use daily drives a Macbook Pro (which has an excellent display) gets an awesome experience and doesnt have to invest in Windows hardware to have a great gaming exp. You also have an iOS and Android app which is overall a mediocre experience for most games due to the wifi latency, it's still very playable for most, if not all, puzzle games.

    I was laughing when Ready Player One had a time where he used a light rig to connect to a more powerful rig to use for their super vr stuff. I know that Google Stadia shows that this tech still needs some fine tuning, but this low profile beefy experience is impressive.

    I'd love an LTT episode about how systems like Access Analog work, allowing audio engineers to stream audio to hardware effects units over the web, so you can use the devices without owning them. A bit niche, but there's so much focus on video systems or gaming systems. I think there's enough nerds here, even if they aren't audio engineers, to truly find that kind of content fascinating.

    Been using Shadow for years and I *LOVE* it. I signed up before it was available in my area by using a VPN (shhh). I've tested it in several parts of North America (before COVID) and it's never let me down. Highly recommended!

      dnbmania Honestly, I was on a wired connection. Didnt really try on WIFI. But I can say, it was minimal. Not enough to complain. But definitely low enough to have a solid gaming session. Surfing the internet was .. watching youtube .. using USB peripherals w the pass through .. it was pretty cool.

    The rule is simple, if you want to use any input from any source, that source must output the output as a standard key used for input by a game.
    If you ue a joystick, convert the output of the joystick (digital) as a key, like forward,backward,side left, side right, as a key press (and hold) on a keyboard. That way all you need to provide is such conversion on a client.
    For analog stuff, use a base analog support for any device attached to any client, and convert to the standard input of the server. That way, the client does the conversion to server standard and the server only has to inpret said standard. It will then become simple to configure each controller, by the client, while no matter the configuration client side, the server will always receive the same standard.
