I'm interested, but I won't get excited until I get some hands on time with it. The streaming services I've used so far haven't provided enough of an enjoyable experience that I'd even consider picking that over a physical console.

 

[thief183]

It kinda looks interesting, but I don't want google to control even more of my life.

 

[Voost Kain]

This conference is just Google trying to add gaming to it's insane amount of server farms since the tech is already sitting there. While also trying to make profit off YouTube,

 

[nkarafo]

This whole "sharing" and social shit.... Do people really care?

When i play games i don't want to deal with other people.

 

[VisualFidelity]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the future. only Google could pull something like this off and so far everything sounds perfect. Waiting for mb per second to stream Max resolution and pricing availability.

Sony and Microsoft should be very concerned.

 

[Xenon]

Seems weird they're telling people that devs have been messing with this for a few months. Seems like this is really early

 

[EDarkness]

State share could be fun to mess around with. Sending a link to a boss fight could be fun.

 

[DanielsM]

technology yeah sure but it was never refined. Google has the capabilities to do actually that.

Most of this can be done today from your own house, there are a few features that are slick but generally you can do all this for many years now. I'm not saying you should like it or not, but its not new.

 

[VulcanRaven]

This can be good if you have good internet connection. I might try this if there are interesting games that I can't play on consoles.

Microsoft already has this tech and SOny is already doing this with PS Now...

Google going after that Twitch money and viewership

[VisualFidelity]

4k 60fps on my phone or laptop with pc level graphics, this shit is crazy!

MS already started this type of push with xcloud. Sony however, dont have the infrastructure for any of this. Or nintendo for that matter.

 

[Thanati]

I find it fascinating to be honest, perhaps because so much new idea's coming out of this.

Absolutely. The cross-save thing came out of the blue!

 

[Shouta]

This concept and technology is neat but it's still reliant on internet being fast and widely available. It'd be cool on a place like Japan or Korea though.

 

[manfestival]

I think I am just gonna wait for all of the information to be out before I start trying to think anything about this

 

[VisualFidelity]

Microsoft already has this tech and SOny is already doing this with PS Now...

They might have this tech but not to the scale that Google is describing. Neither of them is pushing 4K 60fps across any device. This is basically like PC gaming for everyone

 

[DanielsM]

Probably very similar tech, just like Sony uses their tech in PS Now, PS Remote Play, and Share.

 

[Quixz]

Happy for AMD - currently providing GPUs for Sony, Microsoft and Google

PS Now isn't YET, but XCloud is capable of this.

 

[Great Hair]

If you fancy building a PC on your own, this aint for you.
If you fancy a near 0ms latencyfree gaming this aint for you.
If you fancy Microsoft Games, this aint for you.
If you fancy Nintendo Games, this aint for you.
If you fancy Sony Games, this aint for you.

This will only replace a PC, i dont know how nvidia and amd will survive if from one day to antoher everyone stopped buying their gpus and went with stadia? Aint happening ...


Next gen watercooler ...

Sony and MS can't do something as versatile as this. Especially Sony.

I think Nintendo will fair better, because all of their power comes from within. But Sony and Microsoft have a huge threat to face, and they don't have the DNA and resources to tackle this 100%. Sony in particular, might be fucked.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

I hate seeing Youtube celebs on stages

 

[Afro Republican]

This guys over acting way too much. AVGN would do a better job,

 

[Verdanth]

This is basically a console for streamers.

Being honest, I don't like where this is going.

Hope the main top 3 don't go the same way.

 

[Dunki]

Again the technology yes it is old but no one was really capapble of doing it without problems. Like latency etc. If DOOM eternal actually works I am very impressed if 4k and 60 FPS

 

[Insane Metal]

The GPU Market is about to take a blow

 

[Shin]

Probably very similar tech, just like Sony uses their tech in PS Now, PS Remote Play, and Share.

Tech wise perhaps, but not even in the same league as Google when it comes to local DC which is key to streaming.

I'm confused, Sony been doing this for 5 years to the masses and remote play has been working since 2006, at least in a limited sense.

This MattPatt creature must go.

Seriously, why are we pretending this is impressive?

It's just streaming

IF I OVERACT BY OVERACTING...AM I OVERACTING??

 

[leo-j]

this is going to push sony to anounnce their 12 TF PS5 earlier. Lol at 10.7 TFLOPS and streaming 2160P to ur iphone and ipad.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Stadia sounds like a new pharmaceutical and I'm still waiting for the side effects list

 

[DanielsM]

Seriously, why are we pretending this is impressive?

I have no idea. (there are a few features that are neat and the adding the client to chrome gives a strategy advantage but yeah, its just streaming)

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I don't know who that dude was, but I never want to see him again. Good lord that was cringy.

 

[thatoldlimey]

Have they actually showed anything? Or has it just been talk with a few videos in the background?

 

[Afro Republican]

Lol, Youtube? Most people looking for help look at text documents, no body is opening a 2 hour youtube video trying to find the exact spot and accidentally spoiling the other parts of the game.

 

[Xenon]

Stadia were cheaters play!

 

[DanielsM]

Have they actually showed anything? Or has it just been talk with a few videos in the background?

Demo near the beginning across multiple type devices with the controller, but its basically just streaming. A couple of neat features, some are copying of PS features like share. In the end, its a streaming service.

 

[thatoldlimey]

"discover your games anywhere' - basically, ads then.

 

[VisualFidelity]

This reminds me of the Crackdown 3 reveal. Similar tech here, but with greater focus and investment. Google briefly demoed that aircraft game with fully destructible environments so only time will tell how this plays out but Something tells me Google will pull this off much better than Microsoft did.

 

[Kathanan]

Sony in particular, might be fucked.

But you actually need great games for a game console/stream divice to succed.. Sony has the games.. what does those other plattforms have to offer?

 

[cryptoadam]

Did they say if you can use your PS4/XBOX controllers with this or only the google controller?

 

[Afro Republican]

Xbox Stadia Game Studios will be the one 1st-party studio of Google.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Lol, Youtube? Most people looking for help look at text documents, no body is opening a 2 hour youtube video trying to find the exact spot and accidentally spoiling the other parts of the game.

You're probably as old as I am, then, because today the kids all use Youtube.

But I do still love a good txt walkthrough with an unnecessary ASCII art header and meticulous changelog.
