if Netflix 4K is 7GB/hour at 24fps 4k60 would be 17.5 GB/hour
This is about netflix though? Same reasoning, just because you can do 4k doesn't mean you have to, and sometimes shouldn't if you know you have caps and are going over it consistenly. Ever since the advent of 4k it's like all other resolutions don't exist and aren't worth mentioning, while the majority of the world is still content with using 1080p or at most 1440p. It doesn't need to be 4k just because it can, know your limits and don't abuse them, It's not going to kill you if it's running at not 4k.
Please highlight where I said that it's the right place for the d-pad.
The difference being that theyll have a console that streams and also plays physical games. Therefore catering to everyone.
Nope. I have more than enough great games to last me.
Streaming premade video content is also easier because all the encoding is already done so you can compress it decently. Content that is encoded on the fly can only be so small.
It's entirely possible that this could happen by the mere fact of running by streaming.
I suppose this could be a reality to a lot of people. Like, I've never even be able to try and see PS Now working since I live so far away from the data centers that I never passed the quality test. I suppose it being Google, it might be more accessible to more people, but there's no denying the fact that it'll be a crapshoot for lots of folks.
If Stadia requires 25mbps for 1080p, then that's 11.25GB/hour not 20GB/hour.
*cries in data cap*
EDIT: I'm trying to verify this now, but this is likely being misinterpreted/was me getting bamboozled. Apologies, please disregard.
And I'm sure that for Stadia, the data requirements will be higher.
The data cap issue is the one that concerns me most. Even streaming at a lower quality still chews through data.
Could be more too, I'd think live video encoding would not be as efficient as a set video file encode. if people stream video at 4k60 on twitch what numbers are they uploading at?
it baffles me how many people (press included) just forget that Sony's been doing this for half a decade now and they weren't even the first people to do it.
I don't even think it'll replace consoles. Even in a land of game streaming, local machines, but it phones, tablets, or consoles, will always have a place for many of the same reasons why PC hardware won't vanish. People will probably be streaming their own collection from their home device to sibling devices (PC to phone halfway across the world) more than anything else.
A lot of people don't have a whole lot of choice. In a lot of places, the only choice is bad internet or an ISP with harsh data caps. Short of moving elsewhere, there are not any options to improve it.
Yeah, but the key concept here is that even with Stadia you don't have to do it at 4K. In fact it scales automatically depending on your connection, so it can and will scale down to 1080p or 720p to maintain a stable stream, and you can set those limits. Stadia supports up to 4k 60fps, but there are many other options that are much less bandwidth hungry.
Sounds about right.
That poster in particular is repeadetly aggressively chiding people for forgetting that it was a game developers conference, even though its a bad conference for game developers as well.
