1080p upscaled to 4k, big difference. I already get it in 4k on my Ps4Pro
But not 60fps?

This.This, I expected the reviews as Google has been so quiet they are obviously scrambling.. But to have employees at Bungie for 6 months and the final product is 1080p at mid settings is not acceptable
Alright Dark1x is here! I agree the Graphical setting are baffling. This I did not expect.I will admit that I'm impressed that it works as well as it does. As I noted on Twitter, when played on my FW900 the artefacts are less noticeable. Still, it's the actual game performance that baffles me. Lower res and settings that expected. It's not much of a match even for X1X yet.
Hmm.. I can't find a way to cancel even though it didn't even ship yet. When I edit my order the cancel option is mysteriously missing. :x

Same. This is worthless for what I wanted it for if I can get a better Destiny experience on my X.Now the question im asking myself is do I keep this shit and hope they improve on it and keep the cool looking controller or say screw this and return it as soon as I receive it lol
I must of been charged then. I needed a Chromecast anyways but the main reasoning I picked this up was to try out the tech play Destiny on it, from the sounds of it that version is subpar so I will likely go back to my PS4 version....UNLESS the Stadia version has significantly less load times which I'm sure would have been mentioned

I suspect we'll feel much the same way about it, which is why selfishly I was hoping you'd give some hands on impressions about latency and IQ, cause then I'd know whether it was worth my time or not :P
Ah neat! Thanks for sharing.I will admit that I'm impressed that it works as well as it does. As I noted on Twitter, when played on my FW900 the artefacts are less noticeable.

If I return my Stadia Controller or Chromecast Ultra, will my subscription be cancelled? Will I be refunded for the Founder's Edition?
If you return all of the contents of the Founder's Edition within 15 calendar days after the day you received it, your 3-month Stadia Pro subscription will be cancelled and you'll be refunded for your purchase. Returning the Founder's Edition also means you'll lose access to the games that you claimed as a Pro subscriber, your Founder's Stadia Name will revert to a standard Stadia Name, and your Founder's Badge will be removed. If the Buddy Pass included with your Founder's Edition has not been redeemed at the time of your return, the Buddy Pass and 3-month Stadia Pro subscription will be voided. If the Buddy Pass has been redeemed at the time of your return, the included three-month Stadia Pro subscription will be cancelled and the redeemer will lose their Stadia Pro benefits.
Then Stadia is back on the menu!Stadia does have significantly less load times for Destiny, it was mentioned in at least one of the reviews I read.
As soon as you boot Destiny 2 on Stadia, you know you're in for a very different experience. For starters, the prolonged, agonising loading times on the current-gen consoles are enormously reduced, but more than that there's a shift in rendering priorities. Console Destiny is limited to 30 frames per second, while the Stadia version runs at 60 frames per second instead. It may not be faster than the Xbox One X version in terms of controller response owing to the cloud-based nature of the experience, but it's certainly more pleasing to look at in motion with the frame-rate holding steady in some pretty hardcore battle scenes.
It's the same with video streaming! You lose detail.DF comparison images are damning, all that image quality thrown away. I guess there are limits to video encoding under these time frame constraints.
You can cancel, order edit and cancel shipment, basically they just put your money on hold but when you just cancel it , it's doneWas debating on mine and just looked and it shipped with an updated delivery date of 21st-22nd instead of 22nd-25th.
Same happened to me, it's "processing" now so you can't. I talked to support, best you can do is wait for it to get delivered and then return it for a refund.
Yup looks like they just charged me. My expected arrival date isn't until Dec either! Kind of shady that they charged me all of a sudden mere hours after the embargo lifted... Sure that was totally a coincidence. lol
That image quality has little to do with video encoding, it's a mix of the Stadia game hardware power and the effort that went into porting the games.DF comparison images are damning, all that image quality thrown away. I guess there are limits to video encoding under these time frame constraints.
All reviews I've read said this is the best streaming service they've tried to date.This is actually nuts, this service seems inferior to even GeForceNOW which has been out for years. It's surprising to me that Google has fucked this up so badly.
I'll respect that opinion, but the videos and reviews I've seen of Stadia performance/latency on even gigabit connections, as well as the limited quality and catalog of games, makes this far inferior to GeForceNOW for me. GeFNOW has a huge library of games and has in my experience performed flawlessly, and is still .. free and in beta.All reviews I've read said this is the best streaming service they've tried to date.
Which ones have you been reading that says GeForceNow has better latency? Like I said, every single review I've read/watched, including Digital Foundry's technical measurements, said Stadia was the best streaming service they had seen, especially in terms of latency and performance.I'll respect that opinion, but the videos and reviews I've seen of Stadia performance/latency on even gigabit connections, as well as the limited quality and catalog of games, makes this far inferior to GeForceNOW for me.

GeFerce Now can run Destiny 2 at Highest settings @ 1440p/60FPS.Which ones have you been reading that says GeForceNow has better latency?

I didn't say anything about graphical quality, I was talking as a streaming service, meaning latency and performance. There isn't a single review that says any other service is better, and multiple reviews state that it is the best they've tried.GeFerce Now can run Destiny 2 at Highest settings @ 1440p/60FPS.
Apparently Stadia does Destiny 2 @ 1080p/60 on roughly medium settings.
Latency is another issue, but google isn't really blowing anyone away there either according to DF's results.
I think it's been 5 years since DF actually tested anything GeForce now related back when it was called Grid. Can't find anything on their site about actual tests of GeForce now, just news articles repeating PR.
Yeah but what have they tried?I didn't say anything about graphical quality, I was talking as a streaming service, meaning latency and performance. There isn't a single review that says any other service is better, and multiple reviews state that it is the best they've tried.
BRUHYeah but what have they tried?
I mean my wife is the best wife I've ever had... she's my second lol
Best wife ever? Need more data.

Yea it's currently not really better than GeForce now which I already have, I'll revisit next year and see if they are offering 4k yetWow, you canceled? I mean you had been the most pro-stadia guy on this board from what I read^^ Google seriously fucked this launch up ...
Same. I'm gutted, was so hyped for this and found myself defending Google. This seems a shambles....
Google should have listed this as a beta, is worse than I was expecting but I had no illusions of as launch without issues. The low specs on games is the surpriseSame. I'm gutted, was so hyped for this and found myself defending Google. This seems a shambles....
I don't care if it was listed as beta or not, Phil Harrison himself said all games would be 4k and not a single one of the games I was buying is 4kGoogle should have listed this as a beta, is worse than I was expecting but I had no illusions of as launch without issues. The low specs on games is the surprise
Number of disappointing things from the reviews, but still want to check it out for myself. My expectations of the "launch" were already in the low "this is a beta" area, so I'm fine with keeping it around to see if they (can) improve some of the major issues like game display settings levels.
It'll also take some time to generally evaluate the ongoing usage of the service/platform.
Geforce Now has worked well for me other than the fact that I have to enter my Steam password every single time I launch it. With Steam Big Picture's awful on-screen keyboard. Unfortunately, that alone makes is basically unplayable for me. It's just too much effort.I'll respect that opinion, but the videos and reviews I've seen of Stadia performance/latency on even gigabit connections, as well as the limited quality and catalog of games, makes this far inferior to GeForceNOW for me.
