Lowest latency on red dead 2 on pc is 180 something ms too so that will be another comparison
If someone can't tell the difference between double encode 60 fps and actual 60 fps just by looking at it and without doing an analysis then does it matter?
edit: I've never seen double encode 60 fps

It's not about being able to it's about knowing the difference. Plenty of people won't know any different about the experience they're having but would call it night and day if they experienced it side by side. I had this recently when i tried to remote play Fallout 4. It felt a little sluggish but I couldn't quite put my finger on how much smoother the original played locally. Then i got home and tried it and it suddenly felt heavenly. The difference was massive, even though what I played remotely was playable.
Question I didn't see an answer on elsewhere. If I buy a Stadia kit now it includes 3 months with it, is this something that is intended to go onward or only for buying it before release?
Trying to nudge myself to get one, but if there is no incentive to do it now I might just wait a bit for reviews. Thanks

So does double encode 60 fps looks like 30 fps or 60?
I've never seen it before personally
Should "look like" 30. As long as they aren't interpolating frames or anything, if you take a 30 FPS source and encode it to 60 it's just going to show every frame twice.
November 25-26, I ordered about 3 seconds after they said "available for preorder" on the reveal stream.
I wouldn't trust anyone on Twitter to accurately report anything to be honest.
True, atleast he's not some random person though apparently he works for a French gaming magazine/tv? So hopefully he knows what he's talking about

Yes, but that doesn't mean he hasn't played it on the chromecast, or can he not use it yet?
Yes, I see now arrival date is not strongly correlated to the time of order. Have you been charged yet? I haven't.
Have you checked your order to make sure there wasn't an error in processing?
I'm pretty sure the ETA is based on location since they are more than likely only shipping from one distribution center still. I ordered almost immediately and mine is 11/25-26 in Florida. Typically it takes a few days normally from stuff from Google to get here via their standard shipping.
I guess it was too much to expect them to express ship these for free for the founders edition.
I would bet it is only for Founder's/Premier. I can't be 100% sure, but it is most likely.
He had the controller in a cable, only chromecast can use WiFi , needs a cable anywhere else
I'm saying just because he shows a picture of him playing on a mac doesn't mean he hasn't played it on chromecast
Destiny of course, going to play that a few days before I buy anything
after that I'm buying gylt or red dead
Where are you even getting that from?
Found one tweet that says according to Twitter translate "Max is 4k60 FPS".. sounds like someone listing the settings available not an impression of the quality.
Just destiny for the beginning, if it sucks i will send everything back. If it's fine I will keep it and test it more from time to time to see how they improve it. If it's great I will buy gylt and maybe double dip on rdr2. Also possibly darksiders

Ok I didn't know about that i was just going by the original impression, everyone thought he was saying it was 4k 60fps
Most likely just getting Gylt. Maaaybe Red dead depending on how it runs.
news coming in hot on a Sunday night:
EDIT: Sorry, ResetERA didn't update on my end to show Geoff posting the same thing.

Same here. Will probably mostly play Destiny. Depends on the prices as well. Might get Metro Exodus or FFXV if they're cheap.
What do you think would happen to a streaming service if it shuts down?
There's not much more to say than that they're committed to Stadia for the long term. You either believe that or wait and see. For me it doesn't really matter as I move on from my games anyway, so if Stadia shuts down one day I will manage, and I plan to keep a limited library for now.
Yes, I might buy some games on sales. Sometimes I do install some old game from my steam library, having the option is always nice.
My fear is that unlike a store, keeping this system running will be much more expensive, so it will be one of the first things to get cuts if they are not profitable.
Google never cuts things quickly that have active users. Even total flops last longer than you would expect - like, you know Google Clips, that camera they released that you would clip on and it would "use AI" to choose when to randomly take pictures and videos? Worst idea ever, total flop, after 18 months they are ending the project. BUT, they aren't actually stopping the service until December 2021, for now they are just gonna stop selling new ones. Or Google+ lasted like 8 years despite nobody using it, and they gave people over a year's advance notice (and I think they only canceled that in the end because it became a security risk they didn't want to keep updating). Google has a reputation for throwing tons of ideas on the market and then canceling them, but what really happens most of the time, is Google rebrands the service, absorbs it into another one of their services, or splits it off into its own company.
In the case of Stadia, they are obviously in it for at least a few years, as they are spending tons of money just to get it set up (I mean, giving every Stadia Pro purchaser an $80 game package AND Samurai Showdown AND other future games at only $10 a month). Canceling won't get their hardware or R&D money back. I don't think they plan on making a profit for a few years.
Right now all we have is "similar to Steam". Since reviewers have access to the Stadia store, we may find out tomorrow when the embargo is raised.
Hm... from the interviews I had a feeling they are thinking more toward PS and XB prices.
Can't help but feel a week before Black Friday is an unfortunate time to release a service like this, given the age of most of the games on the launch lineup. There's offers for RDR2 for well under 30 for the consoles for instance. It'd be a bit strange to have a sale a week after launch. Perhaps they'll launch with a launch sale or something "to reward" early adopters.
On the plus side, RDR2's game latency is so horribad overall people probably won't notice if Stadia adds some more xD
Would be great if DF could run a battery of test with various pre-setup connections.
Something like:
- 100Mbit or more
- 50Mbit
- 25Mbit
- 10Mbit or less
And then introduce some stress\packet loss\disconnections along the way, to see how it deals with it.
Also, for wireless only setups, how the distance to the access point affects the experience.

Same, some Reddit users posted screenshots that their order shipped but no code yet

Thats not an issue, they have said you won't have your code until tomorrow the 19th, and no playing before 9 am PST. I am more concerned I haven't been billed, let alone been shipped.
Personally I'm swamped most of the week so don't really care if the unit is a few days late (currently Nov 21-22), I just want the Code to setup my account.. Also see if my work firewall is already blocking it lol
