Google GDC 2019 Conference |OT| Floating on clouds
- Thread starter Jawmuncher

To show how traditional hardware can be a failure or something I'd guess
Yes. And you call them steamed games despite the fact that they are obviously locally stored.
Here's my prediction:
- Google Stream
- The focus of course will be the streaming service.
- 5,99 euro/usd a month (1 month free trial), catalogue of 100 titles at launch (that will expand every month) including AAA titles from EA, Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, SEGA and few exclusives.
- Google first party titles will be:
1) reboot of Ultima Online in full 3D
2) a party game similar to Nintendo Land with a bunch of minigames, and a battle royale mode.
3) New exclusive racing game from SEGA
- We will see a bunch of trailers and teasers of multiplatform AAA games that are also coming to Google Stream.
- You can play from your Chrome browser on PC, on selected high-end Smart TVs at launch, in the future phones and tablets as well.
- there will be a box (Google Streambox) with a controller designed for those who want to play these games in the living room and don't have an high-end Smart TV. It will cost less than $100 bundled with the party game. SEGA helped with the development of this console
- The OS is based on Android TV, it will integrate the Google Suite (Youtube, Google Assistant,...), text based chat.
- coming very soon, before E3. Launch in selected markets. (US, Europe and some asian countries)
- More news on the post launch support at Google I/O 2019, and E3.

It's not like they would highlight the history of their active competitors.
If Sega is a strategic partner, it would be kind of stupid to shit on them on the product presentation, no?
My predictions...
-Streaming box/tech , with hardware to offload some computational cost reducing latency, allowing for 4k etc. In the $99 USD range, maybe US/Canada only. Will run android natively.
-Some kind of on-live esque subscription for $10 USD a month. They'll keep the price low to try and aggresively build a big subscriber base. Streaming tech will also run in Chrome.
-Some kind of exclusive title or studio partnership, but the library will mostly be existing ps4/xbone stuff in development.
If all this comes true I'd maybe bite.

Just saw the tweet on 3 consoles and coming soon. Seriously, they could've picked the current competitors consoles saying this is something new, instead picked Sega's last entry, the Power Glove and the ET game from the Atari 2600 that caused Atari to lose credibility and cause thr 1980 gaming industry crash in the 1st place. That marketing dept needs a head shake.
I recognized only Dreamcast and Atari E.T game.
What's the thing in the middle? what's the timeline?
They never mention the Switch or Nintendo's brand. It's a big difference from displaying the actual console.
How are they shitting on it? They're displaying the console as a highlight of gaming history. They are comfortable showing it, though, because SEGA is exactly that: a partner, not a competitor.
They're definitely trolling lol
There are a few other displays they have up with the PS1 so they're probably have other last consoles on display to talk about the history of gaming.
Even though I'm not much for a streaming console I'm super curious of their plans. I'm guessing they'll have a box for the tv and controller, and then it'll be usable in chrome or some other interface on your desktop. Streaming is a cool idea I just wonder how well it can really be done. I can't imagine playing DMCV on a streaming box. Competition is a good thing though.
Outrun.. from Namco? Wonder if Sega make a Ridge Racer...
This comes off as incredibly pretentious marketing and risks becoming an obvious meme if Google's venture fails or even has a poor response after the unveiling.
Yeah I saw that and I guess that makes sense. More so in their conference than just a marketing thing outside without context.
They should have just gone with the first console the big three put out. It would have more of an impact than the three failures there lol
I experienced it at a friends place, he has 300mbit line and it worked surprisingly well. Look, I'm not oblivious that it is perfect and for some genres it is not good yet...
But having both MS and Google investing in game-streaming infrastructure will propel this far more than what Sony ever could imagine.
You have to begin somewhere and as far as my experience, google managed to do a quite good first shot at this (if the beta is to be expected)
obviously my experience here..
Yes it sounds like "we're ready to make niche products" or "we're not afraid of failure", it's funny but also weird
You would want to put your thing alongside the best revolutionary products like the NES, PS1, DS,... not the worst ones. lol
Who knows what their narrative for this is?
If this is a streaming focussed device, my guess is that E.T. is there to highlight the downside of physical media and the risks it entails?
That is one of the most ugly PC I have ever seen, gamers will love it.
Haha no, one of the rumors in the OP is that there's going to be a big sega IP revival. I know technically Phantasy Star Online isn't dead, but it hasn't been in the west for years and seems like a good fit with Google streaming.
They would be shitting on it if the time line is highlighting bad products.
It still hurts my soul that PSO2 never came here.
I'd be happy with PSO1 HD at this point.
