This stuff makes things more convenient for casual players. That's the big difference.
Unlimited computing power for developers with unlimited develpment funds! It's not like AAA gaming has been on a decline lately...
How do the economics of this work? If there isn't a subscription, and Google is only getting money when you buy a game, how do they support the limitless servers and all that in perpetuity?
A thing is only the Future when people accept it.
Tech superiority never defined the future. It's the general populace acceptability.
Even 5% would be huge, I can see ppl just trying it because its on YouTube.
all im seeing here is google trying to funnel everyone into google services/ads/youtube as a hub for gaming, but still google has that money... time for everyone with a youtube to get that sponsor money.
i have a bad feeling your going to see a lot of developers and publishers running to google to grab some of this cash and deliver a lot of underwhelming content in return.

It's almost like this is presented at the Game Developers Conference or something.
Because this has no initial barrier to entry. That's at least what they are banking on. Not sure if that will be enough but I wouldn't expect that to go over all that well here. We are enthusiasts who largely have no problem spending $500-100+ on gaming hardware. Google is banking that there are hundreds of millions of people not served by that market. People who watch streams, who play shit like fortnite and phone gamers are the new casual market.
I think the fear of giving so much power to someone like Google is an aspect of what Giant Bomb was talking about when they expressed their concerns that aspects of this is potentially frightening, but you're right that the person you quoted focused primarily on ownership. I just think that's one aspect of not trusting Google, for me.
I haven't really seen any confirmation either way but the timing for a random Captain EO shirt felt very suspect.
The thread is moving way too fast to read tone, I guess, but yeah, all good.
Just considering the future of gaming with slowly dawning horror.
No real numbers but they said that the connection is supposed to be more direct than with the competition. I believe they also said that the controller directly connects to the data center per Wi-Fi? That's pretty wild
I mean they created a first party studio, borught out Jade Raymond and didn't show an actual game! Of course RestERA is going to yell at you.Never has this image been more appropriate, on multiple levels. This thread in its entirety -
This was my biggest fear is that they have nothing to fall back on and their business plan is basically "if you build it, they will come"
At least Microsoft can be like "here's a bunch of xbox stuff, go nuts"

Is there a internet requirement/any cost to this service? Is there a physical dongle they are selling ?
Literally what did you expect? Did you really expect them to support their platform
Era negativity is so ridiculous lol
