To the people who don't have a high-end Pc at home, maybe you did not consider the following option.
Companies rent an access to gaming computers configurations that will run what you wish at a distance, and offer the result on your screen via streaming.
All you need is a good internet connection to avoid lag and a screen from an old pc, a mac, a smart TV, even an android phone if you like (but internet speed will be better if you connect via a network cable, so an old pc might be your best option).
I chose one company that seems to be operating very fine (but let us know if you used other ones). It's called Shadow, and their product is called Blade. It will cost you 20€ for a month, which will cover most of the time until the full game comes out.
Config : Intel Xeon (4 cores, 8 threads, equals an I7). Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080. 12 Go RAM. Hard disk : 256 Go SSD. Win 10 license. Some resources are shared, but from an interview I read : the Geforces are not, so every user has access to his own graphics card.
All you need to do is :
-Go to https://shadow.tech/
-Install their program/app.
-Register for a month, with a promo code to get 10€ discount : ILOVESHADOW
The total will be 30€ -10€ = 20€.
-Connect a console controller to your computer
-Then unsubscribe before the end of 1st month tif you want to avoid paying 30€ or 40€ (depending on the option you chose, with or without engagement for 12 months). Or subscribe to the service if you like it.
They also rent a box, but if you have your own old peripheral, you won't need it.
Activation these days takes less than a day (I asked them), so I plan to register on Friday to be ready for the weekend.
Hope this will be useful to some of you.
P.s : To the mods : I know you did create a thread about the trial, but I doubt people passing by the dojo to get some info will read every post, and this might be useful to them. So please leave this thread alive, and do not hesitate to update your thread and put a message on Facebook about it.
