Comment on The unlikely story of Teardown Multiplayerparent

Comments

In addition to what others have said: even where remote play works, some games are worse candidates than others, and I expect Teardown would be towards the "worse" side of the set.

Teardown, visually speaking, is a pretty noisy game at times, and doesn't give a great visual clarity when streamed at real-time-encoding-type bitrates during these noisy moments.

FPS mouse+keyboard is also one of the worst-case scenarios for Moonlight/GFNow/etc. remote play, because first person aiming with a mouse relies very heavily on a tight input-vision feedback loop, and first person camera movement is much harder to encode while preserving detail relative to, say, a static-camera overhead view, or even third person games where full-scene panning is slower and more infrequent.
