Google GDC 2019 Conference |OT| Floating on clouds

[Stinkles]

The name sounds competitive gaming and MP to me but it might sound sports stadium and spectacle to others. Names are mostly irrelevant and defined by the product not the other way around.

"Google" is the perfect example of that. Xbox and Project Gotham are codenames that stuck. So "Stadia" is short, easy to say and spell, evocative of some aspect of the product and has no negative connotations I can think of. In that regard it's a perfect name that will live or die by the experience it provides.

ITs a streaming BOX.

FUCK im out!

I'm surprised anyone could be surprised by this. The good news (if that's what floats your boat) is that it'll be cheap - push other competitors to do more and better - and fully integrate with Google home, YouTube etc.

But I am surprised anyone would expect anything different.

[Canucked]

I love AC and I am open-minded about this console, but don't start with AC. I finished that game.

Show me a reason to play, NOW.

 

[Manmademan]

Sony going to be sleeping like babies not having to worry about whatever the hell this is

 

[Rosebud]

Ok thats cool

 

[Skux]

The worst gaming related conference I have ever seen.

20 minutes in and nothing.

 

[Elshoelace]

I Really don't want to connect to other people playing games

 

[Maple]

This is just trying to take back ad money from Twitch. A gaming social network. I'm not seeing a dedication to gaming, I'm seeing a dedication to gaming networking and social media that ties into Youtube.

The predicted Era response is working as intended.

Outside of context, Google and Wii are kinda stupid names as well. Its all in the marketing, did you all think they were just gonna call it "Steam" lol?

 

[Metallia]

Imagine watching games on Youtube.

 

[ekim]

Ok this is pretty cool

 

[TeHi & BuSp]

Youtube NOW

 

[Arebours]

i just puked in my mouth

there is a lot of felating goin on here

Lots of fluff already

Doesn't no one know how to fucking ground themselves in reality anymore?

Click to shrink...

its typical silicon valley crap. they are saving the world by giving us game streaming.

 

[Carolina Reaper]

So this is all because Twitch destroys them in viewer and streamer numbers? Cool. This isn't going to change that, Google.

 

[Tarot Deck]

Stadia sounds like prescription medicine.

Click to shrink...

Yup. Competing with Viagra

 

[OldMuffin]

Uh does the thing only have one set of bumpers on the side without an additional set or triggers?

 

[Deleted member 51691]

This conference has been a bit self indulgent. "Look at how awesome we are. Now we're doing this"

Click to shrink...

Yep. This is how tech conferences usually go. Try watching a smartphone reveal event. They're always so pretentious and stuck-up.

 

[acheron_xl]

I feel like this is Google getting ahead of Microsoft as a platform-agnostic streaming service, with YouTube as their secret weapon.

 

[Shoichi]

this is a developers conference, not one made for the consumers.

It's supposed to inform devs about how they can use Stadia

 

[Masagiwa]

Say whaat

 

[Wolf of Yharnam]

WHUT

 

[Khaos Prime]

Woah

 

[RecRoulette]

If they can pull it off, Stadia would be ridiculously popular console for mainstream folks (with decent internet connections).

 

[crienne]

As someone that enjoys streaming and YouTube, I'm not onboard the hate train that y'all seem to be on.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

holy shit that's cool

 

[Whompa]

what the fuck!? YO WHAT?!

 

[Smiles]

wtf

 

[poklane]

Guys, do you know about this AAA, beautiful masterpiece Assassin's Creed? It's really AAA! AAA

 

[BackwardCap]

HUH?!

 

[DavidDesu]

I mean, that IS the future of gaming, ultimately..

 

[Memento]

Are we still sure they are not playing around?

 

[Deleted member 27793]

Wat?!

 

[Temperance]

That cool

 

[Unknownlight]

Okay, that's sweet.

 

[Deleted member 1162]

quick as 5 seconds no download....

 

[maximumzero]

It's like with every line he speaks I'm less interested.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Oh that's pretty cool. And huge.

 

[byDoS]

This is fucking incredible

 

[Alienous]

So Gaikai then.

 

[jelly]

BS. 5 seconds, straight in there. Come on.

 

[Hidden One]

This is all a lie.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

At least they're showing lots of my GOTY 2018

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

I guess the controller skimatics

As I said:

All the comparative chatter about Google and Microsoft just made me realize: at the first sign of the backwards-ass Xbox ABXY layout, I am conclusively out.

Click to shrink...

And I'm perfectly serious.

If this is operable with a Switch Pro, maybe I won't completely tune out.

 

[Deception]

I like the Divison tshirt lol

 

[Deleted member 42]

Can go from a Youtube video to the exact spot in Odyssey in minimum of 5 seconds
No patch/install etc

 

[DorkLord54]

This is literally just Google saying it's making it easier for publishers to sell you shit.

 

[EchoChamber]

I'm glad that I'm the gym right now instead of watching this shitty ass conference.

 

[E_i]

Damn at the Youtube/Game streaming stuff. That's pretty cool.

 

[Sir Hound]

This lack of friction will be incredibly compelling.

 

[Rahfiki]

So what demon do I need to sign an internet contract with for "play in 5 seconds speed"
