I do use streaming quite a bit now (via Parsec) and find it pretty good for most of the genres I play. So I'm by no means opposed to it. But something like Parsec gives you control over the remote virtualized machine, installing anything (emulators, your steam library, etc), while this is surely going to be a closed ecosystem.

The input lag will always be KO criteria for me.

 

[Paracelsus]

A blind person could tell the input lag in the presentation. It's gonna be entertaining.

 

[synchronicity]

good bye boxes (I still like boxes. )

 

[nani17]

What will this do to Nvida and AMD?

I have a gaming PC and now I can play with anyone on a shitty laptop very interesting

 

[DanielsM]

Basically the controller from the patent. No console.

 

[Lionel Richie]

I'm not going to pretend I know shit I don't, but I doubt this is currently doable with my country's internet connection. Plus enjoy dat lag lol.

Stadia controller looks like a derpy dualshock.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Where my updated VMU at?

They will fool the peasants with it but anyone who is more serious about gaming will not have it.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Hmm... controller is bland, but it's an interesting move to make it communicate directly over WiFi instead of going through the extra hop of your local computer. Can probably engineer it carefully for lowest local latency this way.

 

[AstroRhino]

Oh good...the head of engineering is here!

 

[Dr. Claus]

Just think about those that ca


What's with all the hate Jesus. I own and collect consoles and have no issues with this. Not everyone can afford 500 dollar consoles on top of 50 dollars online fee.

It doesn't take a genius to see where this would lead. Major developers/publishers pushing streaming as the "future", killing off physical media, preventing gamers from actually *owning* their games. Imagine Sony or Microsoft releasing a streaming console as their sole platform, ending any physical media from being purchasable. I don't that future. That is the future that will kill gaming for me.

Did anyone else notice the Konami cheat code in the back of the controller?

 

[caffeware]

so far, anything we didnt know already

Wait until it's out before you call hardware out.

Everything but the browser and switch devices could be done with OnLive almost a decade ago. GPUs are still used in the cloud, the hardware really never goes away, it just gets moved.

 

[Calibos]

Hope there are some 3rd party controllers...that controller is looking terrible

 

[Nikana]

Seems like it's capped at 1080/60 which is fine for most but with 4k screens becmoing standard it's a tough sell for the hardcore.

Well NVM lol.

 

[DeepEnigma]

So cringe hearing all the cheers and "ooh", "aah" from the crowd with shit that's already been done.

 

[JimiNutz]

Great ideas but it all means nothing if the input lag is too great.
I have decent Internet though so I'll def be willing to give it a try.

 

[amigastar]

Idk, maybe as an addition to my main PC with a good flatrate price, otherwise i'll pass

 

[nani17]

OMG LAG in a room full of people using the internet

Never happened during Apple Conference or a Nintendo one

Kotaku - 10/10.

 

[Afro Republican]

8k resolution with 5x the input lag.

 

[nikolino840]

The same thing MS are trying to do...but..MS evil....

 

[DeepEnigma]

Data caps be damned.

Nvidia will gladly sell Google a bunch of high-end server GPUs for use in the datacenter. Margins on those are way higher than anything on the desktop.

 

[Calibos]

Up to 4k 60fps and even 8k.

Selling me a bag of magic beans now...

 

[Helios]

The controller definitely looks better than the leaked pictures. The old one looked unusable. I still need to know the price of this and the input lag.

 

[nani17]

Wait until it's out before you call hardware out.

Oh i agree but it's very interesting. Years before we see this being common

 

[DeepEnigma]

This is garbage no matter who does it because you don't own the games and you're at the mercy of the platform holder.

More and more consumers give up their rights gleefully for being wow'ed by presentations.

I think they said to can use your existing controllers, keyboards/mice. There was even a picture of the Xbox One controller I think.

 

[Afro Republican]

10 teraflops of powa!!!

 

[Insane Metal]

The vision is gaming evolved in itself, 5 seconds to play without any download.
The ability to click on a YouTube video and play said game, truly brilliant stuff on paper and most interesting thing that has happen in the last couple of decade with gaming IMO.

I have to agree.

 

[Kathanan]

But with bad internet connection you are f***d.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Hahaha at the comparing the systems, so disingenuous.

 

[Nikana]

Interesting they put a number on it. But that number won't last through 2020

 

[DanielsM]

Its basically a virtual desktop with 10.6tf.

 

[nani17]

Insane power but tell me the cost

 

[Azelover]

Wow! I'm impressed so far.

This is something only Google can do this well.

If this really works as well as they're saying. The Industry incumbents are gonna get their asses kicked. I think Nintendo could survive it, but Sony and MS will suffer quite a bit. This might do to MS/Sony, what iOS/Android did to DS/Wii.

 

[Voost Kain]

So it's a streaming controller. Oh well.

 

[Shin]

Google has the money but you never know when they pull the plug on something as everything is an experiment.
But damn are they bringing some interesting freakin' ideas.

 

[demigod]

Lol, didn't someone say there was no way they'd use Linux.

 

[Nikana]

Oh fuck. Let's play some Doom!

This is garbage no matter who does it because you don't own the games and you're at the mercy of the platform holder.

Sad reality is that some people don't mind giving up their rights for novelty/minor conveniences in the short term. Hell, you can see it in this thread.

Yeah i know but i have read comments..not here...saying wow good Amazing! The different Is the fact of YouTube ,but Is Google..
Is garbage for streaming games,i don't like too...but with ms stream you don't depend by hardware also

 

[Afro Republican]

Oh Google took a gab at Xbox One X and PS4 Pro...

One year before the successors come out.

Low blow google.

 

[Burrito Bandito]

I tried project Stream and while it did work well, i never really touched it again. I have gigabit internet but the image would still pixelate trying to keep up. This is likely the future but its not there enough to make me not want a console this gen.

I usually pick my platform based on ecosystem more than anything, which is why i tend to play more on xbox than even my pc. So ill have to see details on that and what the cost of this will be.

 

[Golgo 13]

So, where do the games come from? Is this all mobile gaming trash still? So like a streaming Ouya? Because if the games are only mobile-quality, this things already dead.
