Steam in-home streaming now live
- Thread starter IdleHands
- Start date
Similar, but still only to a vita device. Can't hook up the vita to a laptop? You will also only play PS games. This is steam games, and any other game that you link to steam. That's old game, new games, etc.
PS4 has remote play which is identical to what Steam is doing here, only it is limited to the Vita as the second device at the moment. Vita TV will likely be coming soon. Playstation Now is a different animal.
Gotcha. Good to know.
Now, here's the big question.....will those games be the same old low res, low performing games?
The benefit of this steam thing, is that it essentially makes any old pc a high end pc as long as you have a high end pc in the house.
Right now, next gen console's library is limited, so the benefit you'd be looking at, is playing older games, but not better looking or performing.
But I see the similarities now.
It wasn't even about those being the best in said franchises, he flat out said I couldn't play any of those games which is absolutely false.
MY PC can play Halo, Gears of War and Fable.
And Forza? I don't play racers, but if I did I have my choice of at least a dozen better racers.
I decided to take the time to set up my network tonight. Now, I've never set up a proper network so I'm starting from scratch. Right now the issue is that my PC keeps telling me I can't create a home group without restarting my modem/router. There's other people here that use the internet so I gotta wait till the weekend when they're out and about.
But all my PC's (my main rig, my GTX 660 rig and my AMD 6770 rig) are all hard-wired into my router. So I figure that if there's any latency at all it would be about the same level as I get if I were to use a wireless kbm on any of those PC's.
Can your console play DOTA 2, LOL, World of Warcraft, Quake Live, Path of Exile, Torchlight 2, Planetside 2, Unreal Tournament 2K4, Amnesia The Dark Descent, Amnesia A machine for Pigs, DayZ, Wasteland 2, Marvel Heroes, Starcraft 2, Hearthstone, Arma III, Company of Heroes 2, Gone Home, Grim Dawn, Hawken, Neverwinter Knights, Rise of the Triad, Shootmania, Smite, Starbound, Wildstar, Star Citizen, Archage, Heroes of the Storm...
I'd continue but I really don't want to type out another 200-300 exclusive, high quality PC games
Right. We've already established that they are similar, but not quite the same.
PS4 can stream to vita. it can stream games from past PS machines.
Steam in-home streaming can stream to almost any device (cross platform even) and any game that will run on a windows PC.
Do you even read these forums? Since we all left TXB there's been at least half a dozen or more people on these very forums that have built, bought pre-built or are in the build your own rig thread asking questions in preparation to build/buy a PC to play PC games.
And they already own one or both of the new-gen consoles.
Then again it's you, so I shouldn't expect any less than pure fiction from your observations.

Don't quote me on this, but I think Gaikai's quality will be the same for Gaikai games. Not sure about PS4. But I do know the handhelds will remain the same from what I know
Wait WHAT? You can stream to Tablets? Oh I am gonna go find my Nexus 7 and try this ASAP.
This is f***ing amazing! I don't care what anybody says. It is huge and I'm going to use it.
Yeah, the video earlier in the thread showed it in action.

I love you Valve, I want your babies, and NEVER EVER GET RID OF THIS!!
PC Master Race has evolved yet again!
This is awesome!

Yeah thread title was a bit flame bait, thank you for changing it. Sets the tone for good discussion vs flamewar.
I wake up to see the nonsense in this thread? PC fan makes a thread title that invites championing, "Can your console do this," and is dumbfounded that it turned into a mess. Console fan comes in and gets all butt hurt to the colon for no real reason. You can't make this s*** up!

Damn Plain....I had a nice counter to TD that was going to make him cry moar....but I guess you'll just delete it anyway.
It was going to be sweet.

This is pretty cool. But how would you play Skyrim on your iPad?
Does each game have individual apps for control and interface?

Okay, so I found out that this doesn't work on Android or iOS tablets, it will only work on Windows Tablets.
On another note lol @ TDBanks posts getting deleted, you can come in here and state you opinions but when you come in here saying "You can't play Halo, Gears, or Fable on PC" and then get factually proven wrong by pictures of box art and reviews and even I own Gears on PC and then still say we're wrong, you've got some serious problems.

No, you don't use the screen as you would an app made for the device. I'd assume you'd use a usb interface gadget to hook up a controller or keyboard/mouse.
Edit:
The vid shows you exactly what I'm saying:
That kills part of the appeal for me personally. But I'll still mess around with it this weekend.
Yea I said some things I probably shouldn't have. Cooler heads have prevailed.Another literary master piece of mine deleted.
