Steam Remote Play

Evening Open Thread

by

Played Soul Calibur VI with Yutram tonight, with me hosting it over Remote Play. Other than some controller spazzing on Yutram’s side (either that or the overall latency between the two of us) it went rather well. It was nice to do something a little different this evening, laughing at different characters and their death/orgasm screams. I think next time we might have to play with custom made monstrosities.

Local CoOp Over The Internet

by

Steam had an update recently to the public beta branch that allows you to play local couch co-op games with friends even without them owning the game! So say for example I want to play one of the Mortal Kombat games with a friend, but they don’t own any of them. I can launch the game and play it with them as if they were next to me on the couch! I haven’t had a chance to test it yet, and from what it sounds like it’s still not working with quite a few titles. But I do intend to check out this feature! This opens up some new possibilities with games that have no online support, and I might even have to purchase some digital board games when the kinks are worked out.

Now it’s just a matter of what to play first? :melon:
