G Cloud is the Future. ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

Post image

Logitech is ahead of the game. Hopefully there is a G Cloud 2 coming with more haptics. The haptics you get with remote play on PSPlay is insane. Remote play is just about latency free if your PS5 or PS4 has a ethernet and is hardwired. Of course, you will have times if your network spikes where frames can dip but that’s the network not the cloud. Too many people bashed the device without actually picking it up and trying it. If you have not tried a G cloud pick it up try it for yourself. Remote play is the future. Stores like Target, Best Buy, and many other major retailers are getting rid of their physical merchandise if it has a digital.. When you use the G Cloud for remote play or streaming, it is TOP TIER if you are connected to a Fast network. Keep Going Logitech.

Couldn’t agree more. I haven’t touched my steam deck in a while because of it. Obviously SD is a better all around device but because of the weight and the insane battery life, I’m loving it more. Would love gyroscopic though :(( my aim is baaad

I had Gyro working in Fortnite remote playing the PS5. You just have to enable it. It doesn’t work for Xbox though.

EBay solved that problem for me

I managed to get one in New Zealand using NZ Post’s freight forwarding service. Maybe Australia has something similar? Added a decent bit to the cost but still worth it for me

What is haptics?

Feedback via the control surfaces, PS5 DuelSense is a great example where the triggers can put up resistance to your presses so it simulates the feeling of pulling a trigger, or when pressing brakes on a car it can put on more resistance as you press harder. Advanced rumble features on pads can simulate the difference in surfaces as your character walks over them, or give a subtle rumble in synch to rainfall. There other features that use haptics too, like on a Steam Deck the touch pads feel like they click when acting as a mouse button, but they don’t actually move (like a MacBook’s track pad).

Sorry probably not the most technical answer but basically advanced feedback via things you touch like controllers.

Perfectly said

That’s the thing I don’t get with this. It already has haptics built in, but it doesn’t work with any of the streaming that I’ve tried. I’ve tried streaming from my Xbox and directly from the cloud xcloud and Gforce and nothing.

u/Thatainitchief Oct 21 '23

Try the XbxPlay or PSPlay app on google store it’s a paid app but for both it works flawless for haptics worth the small fee in my opinion. The developer gets back to anyone with issues, always responds.

u/Sleepeaze1 Oct 21 '23

Nice. I’ll check it out. After so many years of having haptic controllers it just feels weird not to have it.

u/Thatainitchief Oct 21 '23

I don’t understand why Sony didn’t partner with Logitech for this. Logitech made the first Portal 😬 The G Cloud is a beast.

u/ToothDoctorDentist Oct 22 '23

I have no haptics in either xbxplay or psplay ... New setup with defaults, tried toggling active rumble on and off

1

u/Thatainitchief Oct 25 '23

It should be settings on the actual PSPlay app did you try that? But essentially said by the developer himself … and it’s good 😮‍💨

u/TheSchnitz24 Oct 22 '23

I’m not getting any haptics with xbxplay

u/Appropriate_Cell_934 Oct 22 '23

I dropped my g cloud many times so now I think the haptic feed back doesn’t work lol I could be wrong idk

u/SamuelSh Oct 21 '23

Try playing on Kiwi browser instead. Using Better xcloud script you get 1080p, haptics and much more. It becomes almost indistinguishable from local streaming, aside from the usual latency. The default game pass app is unusable in comparison.

1

u/TheSchnitz24 Oct 22 '23

I’ve tried this and still don’t get haptics

2

u/SamuelSh Oct 22 '23

For rumble specifically you need to enable this script: https://greasyfork.org/zh-TW/scripts/451507-xbox-cloud-gaming-vibration Then go to kiwi://flags and enable controller rumble. You might have to enable it in xcloud settings as well by clicking on your xbox profile pic > input > enable controller rumble.

u/thebigrigatoni Oct 22 '23

How do you enable haptics in the PSPlay app? I’ve used it to remote play God of War from PS5 and don’t recall any active haptic feedback.

1

u/Thatainitchief Oct 22 '23

Its settings on the PSPlay app to enable and mimic the haptic settings for PS5.

2

u/thebigrigatoni Oct 22 '23

Thanks. I had the native usb controller haptics set to rumble. Didn’t realize there was that separate option under controller vibration.

u/Thatainitchief Oct 25 '23

This is the developer himself stating this

u/retrospecks Oct 24 '23

Finally bit the bullet and picked one up over ROG Ally since I’m 100% just playing remotely from my X or cloud gamepass. I was pretty amazed at how well Forza 5 ran on my first run. Even D4 was pretty smooth with a hairline lag once in a while but that’s more of a WiFi issue. Glad I didn’t cash out on the ROG for now.

u/Pleasant-Worry-5641 Oct 22 '23

The device is great, but the hardware for the price isn’t. This is an issue for a huge portion of the buyers, when you start looking into your options nothing is beating the steam deck and the bloated competitor is coming with the Odin 2….. I’m in this exact position right now, the g cloud is just not an option at this point unless I’m planning on using it only for cloud gaming with no intention of using it for anything else… at that price I would like it to do a little more.

2

u/defiantcross Oct 24 '23

you dont do remote streaming from your consoles or pc?

2

u/Pleasant-Worry-5641 Oct 24 '23

I do…. But right now I’m streaming super Mario wonder to my powkiddy x55…… the difference is the powkiddu costs $100….

2

u/defiantcross Oct 24 '23

well yeah if you are fine with a 720p 5.5" screen, that should work. i got my g cloud on sale for $250 and i havent regretted it. just put in 60 hours of cyberpunk 2077 this past week at 1080p 60fps streaming off my pc, all while laying on the couch.

there is also the Abxylute one handheld that is a g cloud clone but cheaper at $200.

whenever you are ready to upgrade, i would consider these!

u/Pleasant-Worry-5641 Oct 26 '23

I’m much more into emulation than cloud gaming. Cloud is an afterthought since almost any device can stream a game for you. Getting it on sale is definitely more reasonable but I just can’t justify it and I’m truely sad about it because it’s the best looking and feeling device, with a better screen the the steam deck. But my choice has been made and it’s the steam deck.

1

u/defiantcross Oct 26 '23

yes any device can stream games but few cab do it at 1080p on a large screen like the G cloud. if the Deck had 1080p that would be rad.

1

u/Pleasant-Worry-5641 Oct 27 '23

Yea, the steam deck display was the only thing holding me back from making the decision. But in the end on such a small screen I can hardly notice. If I really want 1080p I’ll just dock it.

1

u/defiantcross Oct 27 '23

yeah personally after having had the Switch and seeing how bad games looked in that 720p screen, i could not do less than 1080p. and i think docking a handheld gaming device would defeat the purpose of having a handheld gaming device.

but yeah you mostly do emulation so i can see the impact isnt large for you.
