Tencent Cloud Games took the lead in supporting several popular online games

, No need to wait, unless you do some tasks and jump to other game zones (fortunately, the time is far less than entering online mode).  As long as you can enter the online mode, the biggest barrier to entry as a novice, you can even cross it. Behind you, you can enjoy the rich game selection of traveling in the city, which is very interesting.

Can Mac also play League of Legends (LOL) and Cross Fire (CF)? Learn about cloud gaming
This week, I saw someone in the group share Tencent’s recently launched cloud gaming platform START[1], saying that some of Tencent’s online games, such as Fortnite, NBA2k, LOL, CF, etc., can be played on MacBook, so I downloaded the experience myself. Something.

This article mainly shares the experience of cloud games and makes a simple discussion on the technology and development of cloud games.

START cloud gaming experience
Before this, I have heard the term "cloud game". In fact, the computing processing part of the game is placed on a server in the cloud, and the screen is rendered and transmitted to the player's screen via the network.

Therefore, we no longer need to download the game to a personal host. We only need an ordinary computer with average performance, a mobile phone tablet or even a TV, plus a good internet speed, to play some high-quality games. And the game will always maintain the latest version, no need for players to manually update or patch.

However, most of the previous cloud game platforms used browsers as the carrier, and loaded through web pages with high latency and poor operating experience.

This time Tencent has implemented it on the client, and there should be a lot of improvement in latency and operation. As a former internet addiction teenager, he immediately registered to download and experience it.

Tencent Cloud Games took the lead in supporting several popular online games of its own, such as Fortnite, League of Legends, CrossFire and so on.

As an old CFer, I tried CF first, and I started the game directly after selecting the server area on the homepage. It's fast, and it's a familiar taste.

The Ping value in the game has been maintained at about 30ms, and there is no obvious freeze, which is very smooth. But there is one thing, when the sniper is facing, the mouse has been clicked many times, and it hangs before the gunshot sounds. I don't know if it is the delay problem or the lack of technology.

I also tried Need for Speed ​​and LOL, and the experience was pretty good. If the MacBook has an external display and keyboard and mouse, it should be able to achieve the same gaming experience as the host.

In terms of energy consumption, you can hardly feel the fan rotating during the game, and the CPU usage and battery consumption are similar to those of normal video viewing. You know that MacBook usually runs a front-end project, the fan has been ringing, let alone running some games.

Therefore, if you are concerned about friends who cannot play games after using MacBook, you can also reconsider. Although there are relatively few games currently supported, more will definitely be added later. Moreover, Tencent is currently doing more than one company. The current domestic cloud game manufacturers will be sorted out later in the article.

Cloud gaming development
Here is also an introduction to the development of cloud gaming. In fact, as early as 2009, the concept of "cloud gaming" was proposed and some companies commercialized it. However, due to technical difficulties such as interaction delay, multimedia quality, and hardware limitations, cloud games have not had much success.

NVidia, Microsoft, Google and other companies have successively launched corresponding cloud game platforms in the past two years, but the delays are all over 100ms. According to the normal visual physiological structure of people, it is less than 40ms.
