Yea because onlive is just as good as stadia.
I'm certain the google rules and TOS will prohibit any usage in a public context or commercial context (like internet cafes).
They all do it.
No, we are talking about an Alphabet company here. If it does not win enough money, they will cut the cord and call it a day.It won't be a smash hit or a big flop. It will just... be there.
Given the already half-baked launch (not fully featured out the gate plus "early access" approach), bandwidth and capacity limitations from ISPs, and Google's eagerness to just ditch projects on a whim...
Yeah, this thing is super dead.
And I say this as someone who owns multiple Google products and has used their services daily for years.
No but it's similar in how it's being hyped.Yea because onlive is just as good as stadia.
this is like saying switch will fail because remember the vita
85% of the people in this poll say it's going to fail how is it being hyped? Because I don't see hype here
There are always posts hyping Stadia up, there have been tons of threads about it to.85% of the people in this poll say it's going to fail how is it being hyped? Because I don't see hype here
Let's wait for latency tests comparisons before we decide if there's a difference or enough difference to even matterI really want it to fail, hard.
Input latency is my worst nemesis. As if it wasn't bad enough that many games running on local hardware exhibit significant input latency, you mean you're going to add another huge layer on top? Just burn.
I don't want this to become the future of gaming. At least not until the technology allows for sub-10ms roundtrip.
Google Stadia won't survive to the end of the next generation, threadmark me ;dGoogle Stadia will be the Market Leader by the end of the next generation.
Threadmark me.
We know what happened with tapes, cdroms, dvdroms, even games are mostly purchased digitally. Rent a dvd movie. Nobody is doing that more. Cloud is the future and it will surpase consoles in power so fast that next gen looks like old gen
Not with there current 1st party studios they won't.Google Stadia will be the Market Leader by the end of the next generation.
Threadmark me.
That's a terrible analogy. Gaming consoles are not tapes, cds or dvds.
Games are not movies.
Google isn't stuppid, they have researched it first before doing this, they have data and knowledgefor it.That's a terrible analogy. Gaming consoles are not tapes, cds or dvds.
Games are not movies.
Why do people act like there won't be massive discounts on games? And why is a subscription service impossible down the line?
Someone says, look at what happened to music with digital distribution and streaming, the same will happen to movies. You answer with "music is not the same as movies"
Keep your straw man, I never said that.
Games are interactive and affected by latency.
Movies and music are not.
I'm pretty sure google isn't expecting a large amount of users right out the gate, I'm sure they have looked at PSnow subscribers to get an idea for their own goalI don't think it'll be a total bomb or anything but I doubt it will meet Google's (likely high) sales expectations.
Yeah it will be as it continues to flounder and the people defending it will continue to come up with excusesThe collective egg on face that will result from Stadias success is going to be hilarious. This time next year the spin on all of these Stadia threads is going to be epic.

One way I could see stadia surviving if it's a failure, is if the project is just Google trying to get ahead of the curve so that when Streaming blows up they already have a competent service.I see the appeal on paper, but in practice I think it's gonna struggle to gain serious traction.
Google does have deep pockets though, and I'm not ruling out the possibility that there will at least be a moderately sized audience for the service... so it might not be a total failure in the sense of Google shutting the service down, but considering Google's ambitions for the service, I think anything short of it being hugely successful would be considered a failure in their eyes.
Yea like if I were them, 700,000 in less than 5 years would be my first goalI expect Stadia to grow a lot faster than 700,000 subscribers in 5 years. It cannot be understated how that Play Now button on YouTube will help the service grow.
