Has anyone played it on GeForce Now and can share their experience? I have a potato and was hoping to play this on Stadia, but you all know how that went.

I’ve been playing it through my SteamDeck on GeForce Now, it looks and runs fantastic! I’ve also hooked my laptop up to my TV, and found the game through GeForce to be a bit blurry there, but otherwise runs just as well.

Is there a benefit to doing this instead of just running it natively on SD? The store page says it's SD verified.

Guessing you get higher resolution? Does it matter if playing handheld only vs big screen?

[–] Leorhall 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve played the game installed on my Deck as well as through GeForce Now streaming to the Deck when I’m at home. The experience is far better through GeForce Now.

Thanks for the input. What makes it far better?

Does co op work on GeForce? I'll be waiting to play it on GeForce once we get couch co op

Aye works Co op locally on GFN

That is fantastic news. I had heard rumblings about it.

What's it play like ? Split screen with two controllers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aye - the one thing is I found Steam sometime disables multicontroller support - I'd suggest googling how to enable it (it's fairly easy) if you're having issues, I'm just not sure how to describe to without a screenshot to reference :)

But it's pretty decent, vertical split screen and the game pad controls are OK - just lots of menu wheels to navigate

And it wasn't obvious - but during character creation you just have to present A on the other controller to join and it splits the screen and all just works

I'm excited that it just works. I'll be in your dms if I can't figure it out. I'll be waiting until they iron out some of the bugs. I know it will have a tonne and don't want to be stopping and starting.

Looks top class
