nVidia GeForce Now Cloud Gaming Is In VR | Meta Quest Review

[@Arlen.Kundert]

5:37 likely was a "you issue" but it's a good you issue that included because I can easily see other people making the same mistake too

[@liveopenmike]

Yup, which is why I left it in.

[@jonspotts8615]

My biggest interest in this program is if I can play my games with mouse and keyboard a lot of my games have very little to partial controller support and I would jump on this in a heart beat if I can use a Bluetooth and mouse to play my games without a computer that would be insane!

[@liveopenmike]

I didn't have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse when I tested for this video, but I've since gotten a bluetooth keyboard (no mouse), so I can at least test those inputs. I'm making a guide on all the ways to play 2D games on a Quest, so I'll incorporate M&K when I test the cloud options.

[@toniolegendre2220]

Just need to keep push the start bouton and select "bring up keybord and mouse" after you can use the controller like a mouse and keyboard

[@liveopenmike]

@@toniolegendre2220 thanks! I will give that a shot the next time I am in

[@BronenR]

Bring up Keyboard ? And mouse ? How

[@GettingThingsDun]

Great video fam 🎉👏🏾⚡️ I feel like the keyboard issue has been resolved now

[@liveopenmike]

@@GettingThingsDun Bet. I was on this right when it released at midnight, so I figured they would iron out some of the issues.

[@MrLordbeavis]

This is for people who don't have a PC or who want to play the games on the go. No need to buy a steam deck just the controller if you already have this service

[@liveopenmike]

Yup

[@cocobos]

Also for people who have disabilities.

[@MurrayMcMillan73]

Do you have to own the games, or can you play via a game pass OC type thing?

[@liveopenmike]

Gotta own them. GEForce uses your existing accounts for platforms like Steam and Xbox.

[@MarcoMarfia]

Hey, i have the same annoying issue of the cursor showing up and not being able to select anything. Definitely a bug that Nvidia should fix asap. I use a Switch controller pro connected to the quest 3 via Bluetooth which works fine until this cursor appears on screen and then i cannot play anymore. Did you find a solution? Thanks

[@liveopenmike]

I didn’t have this issue using the XBox controller honestly. Just the issue of needing to log into to something via the headset and I have a bluetooth keyboard now (bought after I published this video). Sorry! 😢 I do have a follow up video on this coming next week to see what they’ve fixed because I saw a patch notes post yesterday.

[@MarcoMarfia]

@liveopenmike I solved the issue. For anyone using the Nintendo switch controller pro, which works absolutely fine, just press the buttons + and - at the same time and it will open the menu, then select the option mouse and keyboard and then activate either the keyboard that will show up to fill in your datas or the mouse and you can use the controller as a mouse.

[@liveopenmike]

@ thank you for this. I will make sure to include that in my follow up video!

[@duncanmacleod280]

How do you get past the log in screens on the game? When it gets to the xbox porsion of the login i cant select anything i can get the cursor to move but it wont actually select anything

[@liveopenmike]

That was my sticking point for TMNT in multiplayer. Like I said in the video, you have to bluetooth a keyboard to your headset and tab into each field. Massive pain. I hope they quickly patch it to accept the trigger button on a Quest controller as a click and bring up the Quest keyboard, so the separate keyboard isn't necessary.

[@cocobos]

Just use normal game controller. Hold the start button for mouse cursor and keyboard.

[@liveopenmike]

@ the start button wasn’t working for me. Someone told me I had to hold both menu buttons. I tried that and it worked. I really like the service, especially since I spent a good deal of time away from my computer

[@cocobos]

Is there any games in GFN that have stereoscopic mode?

[@liveopenmike]

@@cocobos not that I’ve seen, but I haven’t gone through the whole library yet to check. I would imagine I can safely skip all of the older games though.

[@HazeyRFC]

just press the two buttons inbetween the xbox button on controller and it will work and say there is controller at top right of cloud gaming

[@liveopenmike]

@@HazeyRFC I’ll try this this weekend.

[@HazeyRFC]

@@liveopenmike yeah once you connect the xbox controller to headset do the two button thing tho :)

[@MrLordbeavis]

I was messing with this and Xbox cloud gaming and using a capture card on and off and even with the capture card I ran into the issue of needing a keyboard to be able to log in to any of the services inside GeForce now while running it on my phone

[@liveopenmike]

Hmm, so more a bug on their implementation then? I was fine to just play Meta’s shaky OS. Lol

[@tlacui76]

Is there rumble feedback on gamepad

[@liveopenmike]

@@tlacui76 Not in what I played. I’m diving back in this weekend to test more games and from what I’m told, there’s already been an update to the service.

[@dylandavid3703]

I think what we all want to know is : Is the 4k really available or not ? If not there is not reason to play it on the quest 3...

[@liveopenmike]

Unfortunately 2D video doesn't do this justice and I was recording at 1080p, but I was on the highest plan available. It looked GREAT. Honestly, if you already have a decent PC, I would just use Virtual Desktop instead of this service. This is for people on the road a lot (underrated Quest 3 use case) or folks without a mid to high end PC.

[@pawelw8099]

2.7 k

[@iorusoul]

graphically I don't see any diference beyond 1080 60 fps, there must be a limit because of the meta quest 3 screens.

[@liveopenmike]

Either that or the browser is throttling?

[@cocobos]

Set in the GFN settings for resolution. You can see the difference if you bring the screen close or use cinema mode. Though the FPS got frame pacing since Quest using 72fps and GFN 60 (performance subs) 😅

[@paologuercini7555]

Is not possible play Assetto Corsa in VR360 ??

[@liveopenmike]

I mean that game has VR support built into it, so I would just play that.

[@dw2920]

Does this work for Quest 2

[@liveopenmike]

No, just Quest 3 & 3S. Sorry.

[@DevinWIlson84]

Thank you! What resolution?

[@liveopenmike]

This is in-headset recording at 1080p, but I was on the top plan for this test. I HIGHLY recommend having a bluetooth keyboard. It was a blocker for multiple games because you need it to tab through fields to log in sometimes.

[@BronenR]

Don’t work with Xbox Controller , impossible to start

[@liveopenmike]

Really? I used an Xbox controller and got in fine unless I had a secondary login (mentioned the need for a bluetooth keyboard in the video).

[@BronenR]

@@liveopenmike ok maybe start game with keyboard ? I will try

[@BronenR]

Don’t work !!! Impossible to start

[@liveopenmike]

Start as in can’t log in?

[@porogonlovespokemon1648]

I might stick with Steam link for now.

[@liveopenmike]

Yeah this service is for those without a decent PC (or any PC at all, like Mac users).

[@cocobos]

​@@liveopenmike I have quite a high end rig and still prefer playing on GFN if it can run smoothly. Colder room and less power bills 😅

[@liveopenmike]

@ that’s fair 😊

[@Jonathan-tz2gz]

does it work with the ps5 controller?

[@liveopenmike]

I can't say for certain as I don't own one, but I know you can bluetooth a PS5 controller to your headset. So in theory, you should be fine. I'd tell you to sign up for the free plan to test it., but like I said, that's waitlisted at the moment. Sorry I can't give you a straight answer. :-/

[@Jonathan-tz2gz]

@liveopenmike thanks for the answer. I have a subscription to them and I tested with the PS5 controller, I connected it but in the browser on nvidia geforce now it doesn't work. And on the site I saw that it was only mentioned from xbox.
