>DOesn't provide the game only the processing power
>PSnow does both of those with monthly pay instead of hourly

Holy shit this is retarded.

Bullshit like this almost makes me wish for the cyberpunk dystopian nightmare predicted in the 80s and 90s. I'd rather be fighting off hunter-killer robots than pay 25 dollars a fucking week to play video games.

Hold on a second.

So paying just gives you access to the computer, right?

Any games you want, you have to buy yourself, correct?

Because if that's the case this isn't even the Netflix of games.

Don't hurry bro, the new NVidia Spy will help you with all your cyberpunk needs

>onlive 2.0

ayy lmao

>25 dollars for 20 hours
>you actually only get 17.5 hours

thanks nvidia

DOA

I don't see this being useful at all. Especially with things like PSNow that only cost $20 a month or $100 a year.

You know they've dropped the ball when PS Now looks like a good deal in comparison.

This. I thought PSnow was the pinnacle of jewery.

>NVIDIA today announced the GeForce Now, a service that converts any PC or notebook, into a gaming PC. This works by making your games to render on remote GeForce "Pascal" GPU farms. On the user's side of things, GeForce Now works as an interface that presents popular DRM platforms such as Origin, and Steam, you purchase games on these platforms, and begin playing them in minutes, without having to download or install them. The games get rendered on remote servers, and your integrated graphics plays a video stream of the game. NVIDIA claims to have minimized the lag involved in making something like this work. You will be able to purchase the service by the "hours" played and in various "tiers" (visual detail). The service works on even Macs.

they better provide some included games with it

The only way this may be interesting is if you get more out of those 25$ per hour.

Lets say they have those various settings.

2160p - 25$ / 20 hours
1440p - 25$ / 30 hours
1080p - 25$ / 40 hours
720p - 25$ / 50 hours

and you have to buy a game yourself on your account if they don't give anything for free play which is hard to believe

If an average game is 10 hours, its 12.50 to play a whole game which is pretty okay. However this is ONLY for casuals who don't play games often or have their own machine, and right now not many places will have internet good enough to support this.

also these, paying 60 dollars for a game and then 25 dollars to play it for 20 hours seems insane.

It's already here blue pill bro

The only way this would be appealing is if you paid money for IN GAME HOURS.

You know how steam and co. works. Once you launch the game it starts recording your playtime. Its considered as in game already. Geforce now will probably use the same method.

I feel like 1080p/720p is possible almost anywhere.

I could see this being useful for console gamers that have that *one* PC exclusive that they are dying to try.

Consider this: would you pay $25 to play Bloodborne if you don't have a PS4 or $25 to play Bayonetta 2 if you don't have a Wii U? Sure, it's expensive, but better than spending $300 on that console and never touching it again.

Would still have latency issues which is how OnLive and the one before that failed, and GeForce Now has been a thing for awhile already
Yeah its 20 hours of playtime, not 20 hours after you pay.

nvidia is finished. their coffin will be presented in 8 hours

no because I have dark souls 1-3 and I'm not an idiot. but I do see your point.

still, renting consoles or in this case renting computers is an awful waste of dosh.

Too bad most people in NA have data caps and will not be able to use this anyways.

Who would want to use such a service anyway?
Dudes who travel alot or bored ppl at work with good internet connection?
The usual "gamer" has its own setup and those on a budget definitely won't pay for shit like this.
Maybe I'm wrong and this is the next big thing ever.

>Streaming your video games

Why not just eliminate the unnecessary expenses and just watch a fucking LetsPlay streamer on YouTube instead?

You can buy this Shield for 199$ and play first month for free.

Nvidia will make shit ton of money.

I play for 10-12 hours every day and would end up paying 450$/month, it's not ok at all

For casuals who play 2-3 AAA games a YEAR its okay.

No one who plays games regularly should use this when you could invest into personal hardware

>He didn't support AMD and buy AMD so that NVIDIA doesn't have a monopoly on PC gaming

I warned you , I warned you...

this shit used to be completely free on the shield portable
what happened, nvidia?

It was free as a part of beta testing the software and network, that was explicitly stated multiple times, even called Beta in the fucking app. I agree the service itself should be free, but don't act like they went back on something, this was the plan from the beginning and that was clear to anyone who used it.

I'm still mad I got a Shield, there really isn't a use for this thing

Ugh, take your upvote and leave

Wait there's a new version of the SHIELD coming out? I thought they said it would be discontinued so they could focus on the Switch.

well if it actually works it could be cool

i'd much rather just have my own hardware though

...

The infrastructure in NA hasn't changed much since Onlive. How are they trying to sell the same compressed video and input lag gameplay but more expensive?

$8 a month to $25 every 20 hours seems like a fairly large price hike.

Please tell me they are only advertising this for 3D Rendering Projects and not Vidya....

No, because 25 bucks for 20 hours of render farm time is a hysterically low price.
