We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
OnLive existed back in 2008, was ahead of its time, but the infrastructure was not there to make it sustainable. Yet it was and still is first and foremost an infrastructure issue, not a content issue.
If the infrastructure is intended to be gaming-specific, then you have to sustain the development of said infrastructure ideally through gaming-related revenue. That's a big problem as it relies on content offer on their platform to sustain it and they have significant competition on that front, for now.
If on the other hand the infrastructure is not intended to be gaming-specific, then the current lackluster offers on Stadia are not very relevant in preventing Google from eventually being in a position where they have an infrastructure that is advantaged to the point that it can impose itself to become the go-to platform for cloud-based gaming.
So which company will eventually dominate the space is all about which company has the means and incentive to sustainably develop the required infrastructure. Since I don't think that said infrastructure is very gaming-specific (or at least, won't be for very long), then I think that gives a good idea as to which companies will be in a position to dominate cloud-based gaming in the future.
Oh?
Don't suppose there is much else you know about this, is there?
Probably more than someone's jobs-worth to go spilling major beans though, so I'm guessing probably not.
Would be nice to find out what they are working on at some point. They keep talking about using their massive conversaional-AI systems in a game, to produce natural dialogue you can interact with. I'm intrigued what eventual shape that will take on.
Who gives a shit whether you like or remember Stadia or not when it is not the actual topic of the thread?
Can someone point out the rules for what gaming news is allowed so the OP doesn't make the same tragic mistake?
On topic, also don't expect anything to groundbreaking or it would have likely leaked by now

I know a bit, but nothing I can share, naturally! Very strong teams imo.
Surprised I haven't seen the word "Amazon," in any of these comments.
I'd imagine that they are going to be announcing more games for Stadia Pro because that list of games looks pretty lackluster and they likely want to draw people in before the Amazon service launches. Has it launched? Honestly, I didn't even realize that Google had a Pro tier on their service until I searched to double check. A pox on these streaming services' houses.

I have the lowest possible expectations for this and I bet I'll still be disappointed by whatever nothingburger they serve up.
But why if you have good access to their ecosystem? If they have a game that interests you there's really no reason not to play it.
And there are a lot of us. :( That being said, I'm still hoping to find a PS5 or XSX around launch or before the end of the year.
Wow, there, Rian Johnson...
Let's save the cultural revolution for later!
My favourite types of games are fighting games, music games and VR. None of those are feasible on a streaming format.
Now if they release this amazing, standalone game that is exclusive, I would play it. But I don't see how Stadia could in any way make the game better than, say, on PS5.
I wonder if they start the show again by saying "You know, we don't really like to play games..." ... yeah, remember when the Google CEO said something like this, when they unveiled the service?
I mean they don't need to release something better than TLOU2. My point was with their format if they release something good, you can pay for it and play it. No barrier to entry and no reason to deprive yourself of it.
Replies saying something about a Pac Man demo. Hope for the sake of Stadia fans it's more than just that.
Yeah, some kind of Pac Man battle royale got leaked. And just like Mario 35, it will be temporary.
I'm always down for wacky Pac-Man variants. The GCN asymmetrical MP mode was awesome so I hope they take cues from that, with players becoming Ghosts.
