Google - GDC 2019 Teaser
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Because more developers will be in San Francisco for GDC on Tuesday than on the weekend or today?
Not in the first iteration (i.e. what we see in 2019-2021) but even if Microsoft doesn't find a way to profit from that subscription service, I feel that they wouldn't mind subsidizing the costs on behalf of the consumer. All Microsoft cares about now is users being heavily engaged in their ecosystem and gaming is one of the best engagement methods available.
I'll be really pissed off if I can't stream the keynote on Chromcast.
The quality of the graphics is not a problem, could easily be better thane PS4/XOne with a decent connection but the problem will be lag and framerate.
I think its...not going to be anything mind blowing, but more just like an official launch kind of thing for their Chrome streaming service, but expanded to a Netflix style app. That's my expectations anyway. Possibly a PS Now type streaming stick/hardware device to add.
I'd try to give it the benefit of the doubt. PSnow tech is light years behind what MS and google have cooked up in terms of remote computing. One is basically all the old onlive tech (i.e. video streaming with remote input), while Microsoft Azure technology has much greater context in terms of deciding what processes get done remotely VS locally. It's not big lump of compressed video being streamed to the user all at once.
When you think about it google already has a bunch of XBL/PSN accounts through google/gmail accounts. Man if they offer free online play I cant wait to talk about that lol
A flop is what I'm hoping for. Google getting into gaming is not a good thing. Remember how appalling the initial reveal was for the Xbox One? We do not want Google in this race.
I think you missed the point of my comment. I was saying that it would be wild if Google and Microsoft streaming competition killed PlayStation's reign as number one. Not necessarily took them out of the gaming space. And this is because of that historic market presence. This could be a battle of gods and Sony would be slightly out of their depth.
Streaming Service + Ads Service + Multiplayer Service + Console + Game Engine
Broke: Hardware to be put in the display after official reveal
Woke: Display to remain empty because it's a streaming service that only requires Google Chrome wow
I just hope that Google continues to support the YouTube app on the other consoles. The PS4 app especially is very feature rich, with PlayStation VR support and everything.

I really really hope it'll run on a pc or app or whatever. I can't justify a fifth platform to buy. Let me use an xbone controller. Port it to TVs as a smart tv app or put it on Apple TV and I'm in.
You hope for a flop, I'm hoping it takes off and it's about time someone joins the console arena, it's been pretty damn boring if I can say so.
Google is just as evil as every big corporation, but life moves on.
Too bad Google already has a device named "Pixel" because that name would have fit even more perfectly with it's gaming device than it's smarthphone. Hoping for something cool, I don't expect a fully fledged traditional home console tbh... but if they do, things are gonna shake for real on the industry with a 4th main contender joining.
They likely have some very strict NDA going on. Like, you say anything and we'll have your ass forever. That or they just have never shown it to anyone outside of Google.
You and me both! I'm sure something will in the next 24 hours... this is Google afterall :)
I have a feeling this will be another Google 'rolling out' product like Google+, meaning that everyone will be super excited, discover they can't use it yet, then by the time most of us can actually use it, everyone has forgotten about it and its a massive failure.
Except even worse because it will roll out 'worldwide', and 'worldwide' means the US to Google, so it will 'roll out' in the US and then maybe the UK or Canada in 2020 and the rest of Europe in 20XX if we are lucky.

Yeah we still can't even buy a Google Hub in Canada, Sadly I fear this one will take a while before we can get it. I never even thought about this till just now
Interesting, is that metal coming out of the rocks? Like metillurgy the code name? It doesn't look very Google-esque at all.
It would be kinda interesting if they did have a local system, they could have features like being able to play a game the minute it releases over streaming while you wait for the local game to download in the background.
But I still highly doubt we're going to see a full fledged powerful console tomorrow, it'll most likely be a streaming box bundled with a controller. I wouldn't be surprised though if they do talk about releasing a local console sometime in the future but just not right now.
Weird... I wonder if that's their gaming brand logo?
More competition is good. Going to shake things up and hopefully force some moves from everyone else.
