Because you can take it with you anywhere and play on any smart device. That's the whole sell here.Jeff from giantbomb had a good thought on this. Basically without it being a subscription service for games, at this point in time I dont see it being more reliable than a local system. And thus why would someone buy the subscription only to have to buy each individual game that may or may not work as good as a local game.
You shouldn't care, but you're knocking it without even trying it. Early real world results are quite positive as someone already posted the link here. #447Why should i care if a Stadia game is running on the best of hardware if the internet infrastructure won't let me appreciate it? For most people, running a game on PS5/XBox will get them a better experience than on Stadia. Most likely. If that is not true, then they need to show it. And i don't mean in a controlled presentation 200ft from a server farm.
That has been my thought since it was revealed it wasn't the Netflix of games. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.Jeff from giantbomb had a good thought on this.

Early latency tests are showing in line with an Xbox One X playing locally. (166ms of lag from button press to action on the screen).
That can already be done with remote play though. I think their big sell here is that you can play games at 4K 60fps on any device for 10$ a month + whatever the game cost. The question is if people buy it, personally I'm still not sold on it but for those that are I hope Google succeeds and keep this alive for many years.Because you can take it with you anywhere and play on any smart device.

God bless you for this.

My internet is pretty good and I have no data cap, but I still prefer my gaming to be rendered locally so as to not deal with unnecessary lag. Games are buggy enough as it is anyway.
You own a next gen console?
I don't see me having any problems from streaming because I already do it on GeForce now, so I rather save moneyMy internet is pretty good and I have no data cap, but I still prefer my gaming to be rendered locally so as to not deal with unnecessary lag. Games are buggy enough as it is anyway.
I want to get some ps5 exclusives too, I hope I can just get them on PSnow thoughCome on, you know perfectly well what I mean. I can already remote play my PS4 games. And when I buy a PS5 I'm buying it for the games that will never be released on Stadia.
I want to get some ps5 exclusives too, I hope I can just get them on PSnow though
stadia will have exclusives too eventually
But you can do the same with Gamepass, and xCloud, and Steam, and PSNow.Because you can take it with you anywhere and play on any smart device. That's the whole sell here.
I tried project stream and even then the delay was comparable to playing on a TV, the video compression on the other hand is a huge eye sore and I would never want to play a game in that way.You shouldn't care, but you're knocking it without even trying it.

Cyberpunk 2077 isn't confirmed for PS5/Scarlet yet we've no idea when it will happen.
The fact that you would even compare this to Ouya just proves my point. You guys think bringing up Ouya or Onlive is clever, but it only makes you look ridiculous.
Yea I pretty much look forward to anything that can save me money without much compromisePS5 exclusives will most likely get on PS Now eventually, and whatever exclusives Stadia gets I'm looking forward to seeing them. But as of right now I am not sold on Stadia yet. I know you are which is great, I hope you'll enjoy it a lot.
It's all FUD, OP, and this thread went exactly how you'd expect from a group of people that are both scared as fuck that it will actually be successful and scared as fuck of change, in general. People don't want Google in gaming and they don't want streaming to be a thing, so it's obvious where the majority of this shit is coming from.
I wouldn't worry, though. The history of people being right or knowing wtf they are talking about around here is pretty anemic, so Stadia will be fine, even with all the cheerleading for its death.

It'll only work in places with a good enough Internet connection though. Apparently they won't even allow you to play on cellular data at launch.Because you can take it with you anywhere and play on any smart device. That's the whole sell here.
I doubt most people have internet quality equivalent to Eurogamer's. The largest tech website in the UK.
They got decent results streaming at 1080p, which is a far cry from 4k. Which is the promise being sold. That's not even better than current hardware.
I'm not 'knocking it before i try it', i'm simply wary of salesmen telling me how awesome their product is. Everyone should be.
With a post like this it seems you don't understand any of the three products you listed aside from "they new"There are people that backed the OUYA. These are the people picking up Stadia day one. They plan on picking up playdate in the future.
There's definitely a demographic this could cater for. The people who just buy yearly releases of FIFA, Madden, NBA, CoD, etc, which make up the largest chunk of the console market. They don't really have a need to buy a $400 piece of hardware for that, especially not when Stadia is so much more portable and hassle free. Google just needs to secure the games and market it well.They will.
Enthusiast gamers already own consoles and gaming PCs.
There aren't any killer apps to bring people specifically to the platform.
Competitive gamers and Twitch/YouTube creators won't touch it.
Casual gamers are happy with their phones.
Like Steam Machines, there is no market.
If I buy a Wii U and some games for it, those games are fully playable even though no one else bothered to buy it. The risk here is that some online servers may shut down, which would affect some games with online components, but even when the eShop on the Wii U is finally put to bed, any games I bought physically or already have on the hard drive will still be playable in at least an offline capacity.If Stadia gets shut down in a few years, it will be because it failed and no one -- or almost no one -- will have bothered to use it.
I know the risks and I'm fine with it because i rarely replay games anyway, but I don't expect them to shut it down anywayIf I buy a Wii U and some games for it, those games are fully playable even though no one else bothered to buy it. The risk here is that some online servers may shut down, which would affect some games with online components, but even when the eShop on the Wii U is finally put to bed, any games I bought physically or already have on the hard drive will still be playable in at least an offline capacity.
If I buy a bunch of games on Stadia, but not enough other people buy into Stadia, I risk losing all of those purchases in their entirety if Google decides to pull the plug, because they only exist on Google's servers. "No one - or almost no one" is irrelevant to anyone who falls into the "almost no one" category. Anyone who buys into it does so at the risk that their library goes up in smoke, at whatever level of risk they determine that to be.

What was your connection speed?I tried project stream and even then the delay was comparable to playing on a TV, the video compression on the other hand is a huge eye sore and I would never want to play a game in that way.
i agree there is no need to jump the gun day one. I think most people who frequent forums would make an informed decision. Makes sense to see how early adopters in your area are experiencing it and then make the jump. Its also worth keeping in mind that the less tech savy customers are more likely to be base their decision on word of mouth and they'd be satisfied with less than ideal response times or video compression. The promise is also playing AAA games without owning a $400 machine and that is bound to appeal to many, even at 1080p.I'm not 'knocking it before i try it', i'm simply wary of salesmen telling me how awesome their product is.

"Stadia will be succesful. It'll dominate other company. All hail Google"
Yea I wish I didnt have to buy games on PS4 and Xbox either that would be nice
some users weird obsession with defending huge billion dollar companies on this here forum is very strange.
I don't think its "defending billion dollar companies" to call out people making baseless claims about a product they have not tried and have no intention of trying. If Stadia is a failure then its a failure. But for fucks sake at least judge the thing on its own merits. There is a difference between being skeptical and outright dismissive.some users weird obsession with defending huge billion dollar companies on this here forum is very strange.
Countless people here have raised perfectly legit points about Google killing off underperforming services, as well as how various cloud-gaming services have tended to underperform. Being excited for Stadia is all well and good, but it is no excuse to be willfully ignorant and just plug your ears to other viewpoints.
That is honestly my favorite thread on this site so I hope soThis thread is going to end up being the new Stop Saying Happy Friday thread.
