    Hands down the BEST REVIEW on the G Cloud. Also worth mentioning that this thing is also completely fanless, and has no need for heatsink whatsoever. So you have lightness, and silence, and also a very thin device compared to some thick competitors. I'll buy one as soon as it comes to Europe since my use case is exactly light emulation and home streaming from my PC, PS5 and Series S.

    • @kadash977
      @kadash977 Год назад +1

      @Carl Gunderson you need to point that out since people keeps comparing to the brick known as Steam Deck. So, if they don't play fair comparing a Cloud device to a totally different device, it's necessary to remind them the pluses in terms of lightness and noise and ergonomy.

      I don't really consider the Odin an option for most, it's like a 6 month+ wait. I sold my Odin Pro the beginning of this year, hated the sticks and streaming kinda sucked with its smaller phone sized screen. Imo if emulation is your main use you should stick with the SteamDeck but if it's streaming go with this. I use this device as an accessory for my gaming pc so it's basically just a expensive controller monitor all in one that I can use anywhere I'm my house.

    • @Justin-xi6ue
      @Justin-xi6ue Год назад

      @@Macky4941 I think the wait is more like 2-3 months now but yeah the sticks kinda suck, and part of the reason streaming also kinda sucks is because the Pro/Base has a software bug. The bandwidth is most noticeably being limited in local and cloud streaming, and so there’s actually still an OTA update in the works as we speak. That said the quality isn’t really as good as it should be. As for the screen size it’s only 1in smaller but yeah still smaller. Personally I’d love the Cloud if it came out sooner and wasn’t as underpowered for the price. Plus the video out not existing is actually a huge dealbreaker for me. I had been in the market for one awhile back and the Odin was the first of its kind that had it. So yeah I’ve been really enjoying my Odin a lot with it hooked up to a big 4K TV and a Bluetooth controller. It’s nice being able to play all my games from my gaming PC on it, and I also like knowing I can hand someone a wireless controller and it works almost exactly like a Switch does. It’s a great party device I think in those types of situations where you may have some friends or family, or even maybe just want a bigger screen to relax on the couch with using a PS4 or Xbox controller. Plus the screen mapping software is real handy, but I guess there are still also third party offerings for the Cloud. But yeah overall I’d definitely say the Odin is probably still the best of all the emulation devices, with video out device for the money. The ergonomics, screen, full size sticks, support from a big company like Logitech, and especially the shipping times are really attractive on the Cloud though. Seems like a really good device although just pretty expensive for the money imo. I hope they come out with a second version. I’m interested in seeing the western market step in more into this Android gaming space.

    I don't really get large android device handhelds, the rp2+/3 is good cause it's small, but you would have to keep this in a bag... So why get this when you can use a modern phone and just keep a controller in your bag instead? You could even carry a battery bank too if you want to keep your phone charged up.
    Edit: got farther in the video, no TV out on a modern handheld is a complete deal breaker, especially since many modern phones have TV out. That means that if you wanted to play some deeper games like a Zelda or a rpg, you have to transfer your saves to a pc if you wanna play it on a TV at home.

    The lack of exFAT/NTFS is frustrating, but you can format the SD card to basically extend the storage. (In the system, you can format, either choosing Portable which is FAT32 or another option, I forget what it's called. Maybe Extended?) It means you can't remove the SD card and load content to it outside of the G Cloud, but it can load larger games on it. You just have to plug the handheld into a PC or download from your google drive or other site directly to the device.

    Thanks so much for your typically thorough review Russ. These days I most appreciate how much time you spend on ergonomics and feel. I've seen so many comments hating on this device calling it "trash" which is just so funny to me considering where we were on price for this level of performance only a year ago. Some consumers only seem to care what level it can technically emulate up to regardless of how the device feels in the hand. My older crampier hands could care less if a device can run most of the ps2 library if its uncomfortable or has only 2 hours of battery life. Your review of the Odin actually convinced me not to buy it because the sticks and face buttons did not look comfortable enough to use for extended periods of time. If this ever goes below $300 I'll probably pick it up unless something else comes along that meets what I'm looking for. The G Cloud is kind of perfect to me if it comes down in price. Big screen, nice sticks and face buttons, good battery life and just enough performance. Anyways, I've been watching you for a long time now and you really leave most other creators in this space in the dust. Plus you don't use the word "ULTIMATE" in every video title unlike another channel that I've come to dislike quite a bit. Cheers and keep up the good work, also Chicken rules.

    I think Logitech went in with this price solely because they need to profit from the sale of the hardware. They're not selling the streaming services/games so they're not taking a loss like Valve is with the steam deck or Nintendo with the Switch. That said this device was poorly timed and I don't think they evaluated the actual demand for this

    I really wanna like this thing, but especially the price scares me a bit away a little. If it gets a a few more updates, I'm by far no expert but I'd assume something like a key mapper, or maybe even video out would be something Logitech could add through software updates?! If then the price may also drop further to around 200 bucks, it would be an instant buy from me.
    Then they'll just have to release it worldwide. I don't think it's currently available here in Germany to begin with lol.
    Also I'd love to see more about this Daijisho Frontend! :)

    After watching your video review, I am tempted to buy one, when there is some major price drop.
    With the top-notch screen and build quality, it's a pity that it cannot play most of the Gamecube and PS2 titles smoothly at 2X. It would have been a perfect emulation device had they opted to use something like 778G.
    As for the Daijisho, it's comparatively easy to set up, but it's always nice to see your guide.

    Can you turn on the stats in moonlight and say what your decode latency was? I've been searching for the perfect in-home streaming device for moonlight that has a good screen. The steam deck screen left something to be desired and was more hardware than necessary for local streaming. All the other handhelds have too small a screen. I currently use a Galaxy Tab S7, but it's too cumbersome to hold so I'm using it on a table with a controller. Really want a handheld with a 7-9" 1080p screen.

    Excellent review, really in depth. I bought one of these at the pre-release price and absolutely love it. Tech reviewers have a tendency to "herd review" and all end up with the same conclusion on something, individual subjectivity is dangerous if your goal is making money. Directly comparing this device to other devices as justification for suggestions of it being too expensive is dangerous as it is not the other products that is being compared against. When you take the device and directly apply it's specific function to it's price it makes plenty of sense. Not all things have to be apples to apples.

I have larger fingers and the Odin, even the switch and strangely the PS5 controller, all cramp my hands after about 30 mins.

    Another terrific video! thanks a lot for that. I will probably buy the logitech because I can't get along with the retroid pocket 3+.
    However, I have a question that is very important to the decision to purchase the device.
    Would it be possible with the xbox series s to start the emulators, such as Gamecube or Dreamcast to play my favorite Games and stream them to the logitech device?
    So I don't need to install all those apps like retroarch or mupen64 or any other on the logitech. In addition, I save storage space on the device itselfs.
    would this be possible?
    Best wishes from Switzerland.

    As someone who already has a high end rig, I want to see a in depth comparison of what it’s like playing pc games on the steam deck (natively) vs streaming them from a high end rig plugged into Ethernet (what I’m running right now). I’m looking for something to play on the couch while I’m sitting with my wife, and although I love my steam deck, there’s something attractive about the g-cloud. I feel like it can potentially look better, if im streaming rather than playing locally.

    This feels like it would be a better fit for me in comparison to the RP3+ if the price ever lowered to 200$. I currently use my phone to stream games locally (sometimes I also stream my PS5 away from home and it works surprisingly well) and emulation under Gamecube, but that is fairly uncomfortable what with the controller i'm using and my phone needing to be available for calls, messaging and even college some times.

      The Win600 will definitely be more powerful than this one, but it will come at a price (battery life and poor ergonomics). That being said, the Logitech can't play any Wii U games at all so if that's very important to you, then your choices are much more narrow.
