Would be quite something if PS6 turns out to be just a hdmi streaming dongle with controllers.
But sony PC ports are still taking years to arrive after their PS releases, and I can’t imagine everyone being able to stream games for the same reason everyone can’t download them.
Especially not in countries like the US, which have areas with absolutely atrocious internet infrastructure. I would expect them to embrace PC further, if this is their course…
Official PC support for PSVR someday? PC ports of PSVR titles?
Even with good internet infrastructure that can handle the bandwidth, I’m not really interested in cloud gaming because of the latency.
Though I do think that it’s a better way to handle anti-cheat than allowing the companies to install rootkits in your kernel. And you can’t really get around the latency issue with online shooters, either you run the game locally and have cases where it looks like you hit on your end but didn’t on the server’s end, or you have a case where you hit the trigger on your controller when the shot was lined up but don’t see the shot go off until it’s no longer lined up. Ultimately, I think the latter is a bit better because then you at least see reality on your screen, even if it’s more frustrating to interact with. Better than a more interactive reality that is more like a hallucination.
