Hmm. Does this mean that the controller is the "brains", and after sending and receiving the game play data, then needs to beam it to your device? Or do the two devices (controller + screen) work together to handle some of this?

I fear for the latency in general.



Neither device is the brains. The controller uploads inputs. The Chromecast downloads outputs.

The brains is Google’s cloud.


I would think it's just sending data on your inputs to the data center directly to reduce latency, but otherwise has no other brains.
