Google GDC 2019 Conference |OT| Floating on clouds

[Chasing]

Are they literally aiming at "downgrade" lol.

 

[Maple]

Push people to Youtube. Serve up more ads.

 

[alexbull_uk]

The only way this would work for me is if it's Netflix-style and you pay a monthly fee. There's no way I'm paying normal RRP for a game I really don't own.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Konami code on the bottom of the controller, ugh why?

Click to shrink...

What's this? Must have missed it.

 

[Biteren]

yeah im not droping consoles for this junk

 

[TeHi & BuSp]

Simultaneus Streaming

 

[DeoGame]

Will scale up provided you support it.

 

[Deleted member 43084]

Keep in mind that Google built their own codec (vp9) just to be able to stream 4k/60fps without using as much data.

 

[Deleted member 42]

Do you really want to play a remotely streamed game with M/KB input? I mean, maybe if you live next to a datacenter.

Controller input is significantly more forgiving in terms of lag.

Click to shrink...

I'll take the option over having to use their controller and having no other recompense

 

[Skux]

Play my games with input lag, what an exciting proposition!

 

[svacina]

Instantly stream your gameplay is nice

Click to shrink...

I'm sure it's gonna work fabulously on my eastern european wifi.

 

[Dust]

This whole presentation is my kryptonite.

 

[Ushojax]

It's already better than those 3 consoles because games aren't held back by outdated boxes.

Click to shrink...

Right, now they are held back by your internet connection.

 

[Deleted member 1162]

if it's free with ads? idc. lol. free is free.

Click to shrink...

i can see that happening with ads

 

[dunkzilla]

It looks just like the Switch Pro Controller... aka the best controller ever made

Click to shrink...

I like it, but jesus no. It's not even close.

 

[LinkStrikesBack]

This is all well and good, but we need to cut through the fluff. We need real performance and latency testing. And software support because I couldn't care less about Assassin's Creed.

Click to shrink...

The software support will be announced eventually. This is a tech conference, not just for the people watching on the internet.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Scale up to match my imagination? What?

 

[Deleted member 38397]

Oh my! Dr Su has got her fingers in this pie as well!

 

[DrROBschiz]

This thing is going to MURDER data caps

Click to shrink...

Data caps have to end basically

5G and future ISP services need to be unlimited or bust

 

[Brinbe]

so, they're really not offering anything new except the youtube integration stuff and controller...

why would anyone believe google has anything to offer in the space? they've had lots of stuff fail before

data caps are a thing and if I'm at home I'd rather just play off dedicated hardware

so who is this for

 

[Rolodzeo]

wait wat

 

[Fitts]

This is how streaming movies started and now look at it.

Click to shrink...

Buffering and worse picture quality than physical formats?

 

[fade]

ISPs that impose data caps are like

 

[Bakercat]

No fucking way it'll be that good, not on current Internet available in America.

 

[Kindekuma]

OH NO
NOT THE JAGUAR

 

[SharpX68K]

Custom AMD GPU

10 TERAFLOPS OF POWER for each game instance

 

[Betelgeuse]

Custom AMD GPU? Weird.

 

[DavidDesu]

Holy shit

 

[Kaako]

It'll scale up to match your imagination! Magic lol.

 

[ekim]

Oh wow... we flop now.

 

[Sekiro]

NAVI?!?!?!


10 tf OMG

 

[-COOLIO-]

but honestly, 1080p 60fps is plenty good enough anyway

 

[Mgs2master2]

So some things im taking away from this:
- Google is assuming we all have 500mb Down and 300mb up worldwde
- Your controller literally has a back seating button
- this is literally ran on google chrome servers
- this is assuming everyone will upgrade/scale their devices

like holy shit google. This is ambitious, but its going to fail right out of the gate and flop for years most likely.

 

[blastprocessor]

Well i'm impressed so far no doubt Sony and Microsoft will be keeping a close eye on this.

 

[Carolina Reaper]

Are they actually delivering on Microsoft's cloud boasts?

 

[Protome]

Don't bother. Same group thought the Vita would be huge and the Switch would fail.

AMD once again supporting innovation

 

[Anastasis]

8K 120FPS

why you lying

Click to shrink...

What does my download speed need to be for this?

 

[rpm]

putting the konami code on the controller is like the ultimate "man, us gamers huh" thing you could do

Click to shrink...

IKR
so fucking large too, they didn't even try to hide it

 

[Pesmerga]

Wow

 

[Whompa]

jesus

 

[Mantrox]

"The datacenter is your platform", is kind of a game changer.

 

[Danthrax]

running on AMD chips? PC players turning up their noses en masse

 

[Deleted member 11182]

It competes with Pokemon, Mario & Zelda?

Click to shrink...

Zelda is my favorite franchice. But Nintendo first party games aren't a solution to everything.

 

[Shoichi]

Nintendo filing for bankruptcy.

Click to shrink...

No Nintendo games. Nintendo will be fine
