Can you imagine once Stadia and Xcloud hit Switch alongside Nintendo's 1st party?

Nintendo is sitting so pretty right now.

This seems less like a product for gaming itself, and more of a product to push youtube gaming.

Instead of games they show graphics filter, useless game state gimmicks and YouTube integration.

I have a question. If Steam is releasing their own version of Stadia, wouldn't that make Google's tech null and void? Just asking...

It'll depend on exclusives and QoL for each. The competition will be between platforms, not consoles, so using your favorite for most things and others for their exclusives is the likely end scenario.

I'll definitely be trying this out but if it doesn't work on ATT Fiber 300 then this isn't a thing I would ever want.

Yeah I get the feeling that this service will appeal to people who dont even know what a teraflop is, but not much to the people who do. Time will tell, I guess
Precisely. This is a solution for the people who don't know any better. This won't be taking over for traditional gaming hardware any time soon.

The shit they are showing whether attainable or not it's industry changing and will force the big 3 to up their game
How? Lobby Comcast to waive data caps for their streaming platforms but not Google's?

There's really nothing industry changing about this other than games that will blow through your data caps and a platform that will oversarurate an already crowded field with lots of options.

Google is doing good stuff. Looks like they're tying to take the color red from Nintendo.

So how this works? i will stream digital games from my PS4 and XBOX? I need Game Pass for something like this to be practic? Is this like a Comcast but for games?

So is there a monthly fee ? I mean I don't see this being like gamepass where you pay a fee and that's it if it really will have brand new games like Doom Eternal. I'm thinking we will have to pay a sub fee and then buy the game on top of that? Did they mention anything ?

That trailer reminds me of the Wii U reveal.

In other words, tragic and fails to deliver the message.

I just watched, I'm a hardcore gamer, and I have no idea what Stadia is about. A casual player browsing the news is probably more lost than I'm.

It's about time the rest of the world caught up to Nordic countries and introduce unlimited data plans as the norm.
Problem is US politicians are now aligned with ISPs against net neutrality. If anything, it's even less likely today than it was a few years ago to get unlimited data plans at affordable prices in America. Which is, you know, Google's home country.

I hate the focus on streamers and "creators" but I feel like this will boost their "celebrity" in to the stratosphere as well.

Legitimately interested in trying this out though.

I see this failing badly for google but I can be wrong. Who wants to play stream games anyways yuck!

Exactly what I thought. So much stuff by Google sent to the grave after a year or two.

That trailer wasn't made for you as a hardcore gamer, it was made for game developers. It absolutely delivered that message and I'm excited to play around with it.

People bitching about this should also understand this is what MS will also be doing, just in a a phased format.

Sony will eventually too. Nintendo may be the only dedicated device maker in the future, but if that phone device rumor is true..maybe a switch pro or 2 may also be cloud based with LTE/5G.

I'd like them to get into game pricing and how that'll work, is playing a ghost run free, kind of skipping over a lot here, maybe they'll discuss later on

I like the look of the controller, with its superior analogue stick layout. Undecided on the rest as I'm really only interested in seeing the exclusives they have got.

Welp, as a developer I might be a little bit sold. Some of the ideas that become possible with near zero latency between instances combined with that state sharing thing might be really really big.

SO wait, wouldn't that means that Sony would become like Nintendo if all major 3rd parties went with Google/Steam and Sony will have to live with their 1st and 2nd party to make a profit? Yea...that won't be viable for Sony.

Hard pass.

I live in Boston, have a pretty high Xfinity/Comcast package, and still don't trust it to reliably stream content.

I'll stick with my PC for heavy duty at home gaming, and Switch for couch and on the go.

Most people don't have the internet to use Stadia at all and Google will most likely drop this idea after a short amount of time. But that's just a theory. A Game Theory.

Games aren't art to Google, that's clear. They only care about the service. At least Sony and Nintendo care about the art.

I fully expect "streaming internet package" to pop up now due to that at an additional cost.
