streaming gaming's biggest problem is to have your servers located as low-latency to the customers as possible. google's one of the best placed companies to have fewer potential customers have unusable lag.

The Elite Controller is why I played Burnout Paradise for the 5th time on my Xbox instead of my Playstation.

i've already got one but it'd be cool if they announce the rumored 2.0 version at E3. then i could have two elite controllers and not have to hand an old 360 controller to a friend when we have couch party games running

fischmech is right. if you're gonna play not on a pc might as well be a $20 chromecast and any bluetooth controller.

lmao did they buy onlive's assets or look at them and think "ok well maybe they failed but we can do it and do it better"

look, a market dominated by several dead companies, sony, and nvidias beta is as good a place as any to lose new money gaining shifting sands

i played all of borderlands on onlive and it was okay, but lol at nvidia thinking a sub service with per hour pricing is the ticket unless this is a long play to spin it to sony too

Sony bought Gaikai to use their tech.

Onlive went "assignment for the benefit of creditors", then went proper bankrupt, and Sony bought their patents.

The best part about video game streaming is that, because latency is additive and your biggest problem, you can cut latency anywhere and still make a difference.

This means poo poo like low-latency "gamer" peripherals might actually start adding value. It generally matters gently caress-all if your mouse has 1ms of latency vs 2, but if you're playing a streamed game then you can have 1ms worse network/encode/render/display latency before you notice.

the n64 controller was a failed transitional design

all modern controllers have an equal or greater number of buttons and joysticks which are all accessible from a single hand position

the thing that hosed all pc game controller support has been that there is no standard controller. console controllers are standardized, developers know and test what the customers are using.

let’s see if google can avoid the mistake of bring-your-own-controller (they won’t)

Wrong. The standard controller from 2005 onwards is the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller, with the Xbox One controller functioning as the same controller with a fixed d-pad.

in ten years I've changed the single aa battery in my thermostat exactly twice and programming it is a matter of pushing the button next to the thing I want it to do

old people thermostats are powered by batteries unlike cool new smart thermostats which are powered by magical jo crystals

new construction does tend to have 24vac wires but otherwise you gotta like install a transformer somewhere and run wires to it and it's kind of a pain in the @$$
