Im in the beta and its great but yea as Gord says the price is gonna be retarded…
I tried out the beta, but it has you login to Steam currently to play games? I guess if I am traveling it might be good, but I just didn’t login and uninstalled it.
teh_g Its only for games you already own on steam and uplay. Not sure if Origin/GoG will be added in the future.
Still, not worth an hourly cost. That xbox deal is like 10 bucks a month and you can play all the games as much as you want. Nvidia will have to partner up with another company to bring the cost down before I touch it.

It’s not the cloud part that bothers me, it’s the pricing. My connection can handle it (provided I’m not playing multiplayer).

If the streaming is stable, what’s the problem? You’d still have the game in your steam library should you want to run it locally anyway. Also you wouldn’t need good hardware for max settings.
The main benefit of this thing for me would be to play while I’m traveling, but usually when I’m traveling I wouldn’t have a connection good enough to play these anyway, so it seems meh. Switch FTW!

Yeah, I would only trust a game to be streamed properly on my own home connection or at google headquarters.

I don’t know. I think it’s a lil bit weird that people can afford fast internet speed and the geforce now subscription plus games but they can’t afford a decent PC. Crazy, right?
This geforce now thing is going to be some exclusive platform thing like playstation or xbox. Mark my words, games will be released only on geforce now in the near future. If the damn thing succeeds.

They would have to support existing libraries to get off the ground…that is if they fix the price problem. Exclusives would just tank them.

katsuo Well, I pay 59.99 a month for my internet which is 100mb/ps down and about 20mb/ps up… but unfortantly ontop of that cable and phone brings the total to $225 a month. If they figured out how to have a subscription based with only a monthly fee it would be a nice touch for thoughs who cant afford i7’s with huge amounts of ram and GTX 1080’s… especally with a GTX 1080 being nearly $1600+ right now.

Cut the cable. It’s redundant.

Orrrrrr, they could just get a normal PC for mortals. If I remember correctly, you don’t really need i7 CPU or GTX1080(Ti) to run a game. Hell even 5 years old hardware can run games on almost max settings 1080p. And if they REALLY can’t afford a PC…consoles still exist. Plenty of choices and in my opinion, GeForce Now is the worst choice possible. Saaaaaave your money people!
