Footage appears online of people in the US playing the Japanese game Resident Evil 7: Cloud Version, revealing some problems with it running on the Switch.
The president of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, was in New York this week to sell his company’s big holiday line-up. But there was plenty more to talk about, too.
Why would the head of Nintendo hope for an N64 Classic.
You literally have the power to release one.
@2pacalypsenow
Well, don't expect to get the full story if you don't read the article. It's not about Reggie hoping to release the N64 Classic. It's about him commenting on others hope for it.
@TheKnightofknights
See I didn’t even have to click on it, you did the work for me.
Thanks 🙏🏻
@2pacalyps
Lol you still don't know what he said. You just know the context now.
Idk if the title got edited, but it says "reggie ON hopes for an n64 classic" not his own hopes for one
The streaming-only version of Capcom’s survival horror hit can only be played via the cloud – but how well does it really work?
I’ve played cloud games on PS Now and it’s a serviceable method of playing games.
in 720p :D. I am a fan of the cloud, but the tech still has a few years before it's mastered.
Next gen cloud gaming may reach its potential along with fiber Internet. The difference between cloud and native will be just like HDMI and Digital audio, hardly noticebale
You make it seem like upgrading a countries internet infrastructure is an easy task lol. It won’t be done by the next 10 years lol
Don't forget choppy frame rates. This will not be the norm until everyone has fiber running on LIFI vs WIFI. LIFI will surpass a wired bandwidth connection by alot...then streaming games in HD will be feasible, with low latency.
Until then keep dreaming. This won't work for competitive multiplayer yet.
Internet in the US blows. I have "High Speed" internet in NYC and it's not great. I don't use wireless at all because wireless is meh.
Basically we pay premium prices for internet gaming that is still as good as Halo 2 was in 2004. For 2004 it was awesome, for 2018 not so much.
Yeah we don’t have the latency to have 1080p streaming now, but I didn’t say it was my preferred method of playing games, I just said it was an adequate way of doing so.
Only playable if you live in Japan and even then Input lag is a real issue for RE7. The game is broken if you try to connect from outside Japan. I'm on Fiber and the US connection get's lost constantly closing the game and losing all progress.
Oh... Well that sucks. I played it on PS4 and really enjoyed it. I thought Switch players would dig it too.
Not sure if using an Asian or Japanese server via VPN would help. That way you would appear local. Your connection should be more than enough.
I’d rather have a standalone release for the Switch, but hey, its Capcom. Maybe they are just testing the water with this in Japan.
After a surprising reveal just a few days ago, Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version launched on the Japanese eShop this week. It comes with a significant caveat about save data, however. In that the saves are not stored on the system itself, but rather on Capcom's own internal servers.
The issue here is that Capcom is making no promises with regard to this data. The company says that after the 180-day ticket expires, there are no guarantees that saves will be preserved. While that somewhat makes sense, oddly, Capcom also warns that the same even goes during the play period that you’re paying for.
Capcom finds new ways to screw up even when they’re doing alright like it’s a force of habit
Nintendo is kind of doing the same thing now, putting saves on the cloud but with a major caveat. It's being put behind a paywall.
I'm pretty sure you need a PS Plus and Xbox Live subscription to use cloud saving on the other consoles as well.
This is a reply to hipk_bash1987 - wrong. Cloud save is free on Xbox and on ps4 you can backup to usb
@hulk_bash1978 true but at least on PS4 (not sure about Xbox) you can back your saves to a USB stick.
@hulk_bash1987
You wouldn't really need cloud saves anyway considering in 2013 when these consoles release they came with 500GB of memory. If the Switch came with just half of that at 250GB then we wouldn't need to rely on the cloud and the like.
My bad on the xbox live assumption, I've never used the cloud storage on my Xbox One. But I know for a fact that PS Plus is needed for cloud storage on the PS4. My point being, Nintendo isn't somehow worse for doing the same.
Are you serious? Not being able to keep saved progress is absolutely ridiculous. Please don't buy this game. We don't want this mentality to spread.
lol.. could you imagine. The game is in the cloud, but we aren't sure about the save games.. :P
Appears to be only for Residents. Evil.
It's a Japan-only game with servers only in Japan. Obviously the experience is going to be crap for people in the US.
Cloud-based gaming having issues...what a shocker /s
It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that it's a Japan-only release at the moment that requires an internet connection, and therefore probably connects to a server in Japan? Surely that has nothing to do with it...
RENTident Evil 7 LOL! Atleast for Switch owners
