Google GDC 2019 Conference |OT| Floating on clouds

[DailyCalmSpirit]

Hell yeah baby, never own your games again!

 

[SharpX68K]

My stream just went fucking blocky flashy, LOL

 

[badnewsbeers]

Wow. I love the idea of instant access.

 

[Judge]

My BS senses are tingling

 

[alr1ght]

Publishers wet dream. Nothing is owned and it can be taken away at any point.

 

[Deleted member 12379]

This actually looks pretty dope for the average user. This is obviously not meant for the more hardcore type of gamer. Reducing the friction needed to play games seems like a great way to increase user counts.

 

[Mik317]

thats pretty neat

 

[golem]

This is REAL 😳

 

[Iddshane]

I'm skeptical of how well that'll work, but that was cool.

I got in the beta and It does work as advertised.

 

[Frozenprince]

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

Click to shrink...

Yeah this is all lies. Just nothing but lies.

 

[Firima]

OH GOD THAT LATENCY D:

 

[Kyra]

My alt right propaganda can't be this fun!

 

[Patriiick]

Wish he would stop talking about data centres because my nearest one is about 300 miles away.

 

[DoubleTake]

DID YALL SEE THAT LATENCY??? LMAOOOOOO

 

[DavidDesu]

Now that is a cool new use case.

 

[KoopaSwitch]

LOL. Look at this game running on a shitty chromebook.

Yeah, pretty cool actually.

 

[Acorn]

I can see me using it for pc games but yeah, I'm not dumping consoles

 

[Whompa]

holy shit wow

 

[Metallia]

There is no console, so it's exclusively streaming. Got it. The instant in on the game is a cool concept that makes use of streaming well, but it's still meaningless without a good connection.

 

[Deleted member 1162]

Google trying to be Skynet

 

[MortosDer]

Having people scream and shout and cheer for a multibillion dollar corporation will never not rub me the wrong way.

 

[Kinsei]

Let's be real, if a game takes a long time to download then you're internet is nowhere near good enough for this.

 

[Mediking]

What the hell...?

 

[Deleted member 42]

Oh shit this is basically Google's version of that PC service Shadow, isn't it

 

[Lulu]

This is impressive

 

[ItIsOkBro]

yo this is nuts

 

[Galactic Specter]

If your download is that slow, I don't know if you're internet can handle streaming on google's stadia platform.

 

[Windu]

not sure why people are surprised about instant launching. seems like an obvious benefit of streaming.

 

[Redstreak]

There is absolutely no way this is going to work this well

 

[iag]

My 4mbps internet won't like this.

 

[E_i]

My Pixelbook/Pixel XL can run games!

 

[Socialism Is Cool]

I don't wanna rely on Google's data center for gaming. Cheers

 

[Game Fan]

You see that device? You can play Assassin's Creed there.

 

[giraffereyn]

I think I've seen Shadow ads in Resetera...

 

[wenis]

im interested to see how all this works in a real environment. I'll definitely try whatever the fuck this is before passing judgement.

 

[Brinbe]

lol again, they're not gonna be the only ones streaming. Sony, Microsoft are also gonna be streaming

so this is more like google music

 

[floridaguy954]

No one with an internet connection good enough to stream games has 4h-long downloads :lol

Click to shrink...

Exactly lmao.

This is cool if they can show the latency receipts but I'll always prefer having my own hardware run a game.

 

[ekim]

That's pretty neat.

 

[jokkir]

Can I play it on my smartwatch

 

[kiguel182]

Not even the pixel slate lol

EDIT: Spoke too soon!

 

[Dougieflesh]

This is nice.

 

[asmith906]

Not gonna lie, that's pretty damn cool.

 

[Ryo]

Holy shit.

 

[bsigg]

Say goodbye to mods lol

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

Nvidia knew of course. GeForce Now was yesterday already preemptively preparing for this announcement the way they made emphasis on how you still own your games on your own accounts.

 

[Bakercat]

Will my payment also have Google put Fiber cable down at my house?

 

[Deleted member 48897]

Having people scream and shout and cheer for a multibillion dollar corporation will never not rub me the wrong way.

Click to shrink...

Hahaha, yep

 

[Rocco]

Impressive

 

[MouldyK]

LOL stream is fucking up

Click to shrink...

Wait until you try playing a game on Stadia.

 

[CountAntonio]

They may be the one to make game streaming popular but I am still not interested in it as a main platform.
