Google Stadia details to be revealed this Thursday
Will you be tuning in?
SOURCE
the entire point of this is you can stream the games on your tablet or smart tv or potato computer so you never need to own any new hardware.I have zero interest in this unless there's an actual physical machine to collect besides the controller.
"it's not original if I'm not interested"Yeah, sorry, not interested.
it's madness when I hear gamers say won't get as I don't own it who cares if don't own its about playing the game and remembering the experience you get from it so Yr telling me if a fave game series of yrs was stream only you wouldn't get it as don't own it Yr talking nonsense and end of day Yr losing out as Yr punishing yrself over something so minor it's laughableStadia connect really?
I will never buy a susbscription to play games, i either own them or not, so yeah this is no for me.
They also have the information monopoly to convince people this is what they want :/I will be tuning in as I think Google actually has the pull behind them to make this work.
I dunno, I equate going to game streaming to things like chocolate bars getting smaller, soda no longer using real sugar, operating systems becoming less secure and unsupported faster than ever, news programs becoming nothing not anger inducing opinion pieces etc; and it seems like we will be forced into it like it or not. Google has so much influence over the way people think Im actually worried about anything they do now. This isnt like video streaming, which obviously was going to be a big hit once you looked at how people were pirating shows and movies with streaming. You dont see pirates streaming games, because it doesnt really make much sense to run a game server side unless you want to be in complete control of the user experience at all costs.it's madness when I hear gamers say won't get as I don't own it who cares if don't own its about playing the game and remembering the experience you get from it so Yr telling me if a fave game series of yrs was stream only you wouldn't get it as don't own it Yr talking nonsense and end of day Yr losing out as Yr punishing yrself over something so minor it's laughable
"it's not original if I'm not interested"
sound logic
there is a huge diference lolit's madness when I hear gamers say won't get as I don't own it who cares if don't own its about playing the game and remembering the experience you get from it so Yr telling me if a fave game series of yrs was stream only you wouldn't get it as don't own it Yr talking nonsense and end of day Yr losing out as Yr punishing yrself over something so minor it's laughable
if people cry about excusivity on epic store.. you can bet they will cry the same if the game is only on streaming google...it's madness when I hear gamers say won't get as I don't own it who cares if don't own its about playing the game and remembering the experience you get from it so Yr telling me if a fave game series of yrs was stream only you wouldn't get it as don't own it Yr talking nonsense and end of day Yr losing out as Yr punishing yrself over something so minor it's laughable
I just can't wait for the 128 ms of input lag coupled with compression farts/artefacting in the video quality. What's the point of cloud gaming other than to deter piracy? We don't even have a very consistent or reliable infrastructure in the US to support such an ambitious project. Those who live in rural areas are shit outta luck, WISPs and other wireless forms of internet in rural regions are slow and pure garbage.
To be honest, Google's project stream wasn't the best experience compared to Geforce Now. It had more stable results with a consistent resolution and not many artifacts but there was a lot more latency. Geforce Now had more variability but much better latency so I can see how it can be improved.The funny thing is that the input lag is very severe, even for people who have a 200 Mbps fiber optic connection. Such as myself.
Let alone rural areas.
I mean I have faith. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But I honestly do not see it happening in a sustainable, playable way.
Pretty much the only people who will be able to use this service, will be people physically near Google's servers, with 5-10ms ping.
I think you underestimate the power google has over peoples thinking.if people cry about excusivity on epic store.. you can bet they will cry the same if the game is only on streaming google...

I cant even get in home streaming to work to what I consider an acceptable level with both sides on gigabit Ethernet.The funny thing is that the input lag is very severe, even for people who have a 200 Mbps fiber optic connection. Such as myself.

Not only that, game streaming doesnt work like netflix does at all. With netlfix you are just sent raw data for a pre rendered movie and your device does all the rest of the work. Game streaming means you are running an interactive game on a computer in a remote location.You know why I don't like the concept of cloud gaming, barring input lag:
- You can't keep games, it's a glorified rental service
- Games cycle out, if you like a game, TS, you can't keep it, you have to play through cycled catalogs of games
- Streaming games is just another excuse to use bullshit DRM to curtail piracy
- If there's an interruption or interference with the connection, you can't play the games
- No way to collect physical copies of said games, no way to preserve them after servers shut down/close down, go defunct, etc
- Infrastructure in the West is pure trash, inconsistent and unreliable in rural areas
These are the reasons I don't like cloud gaming. Now, I know what people are saying "it's like Netflix", well the diff is that I would prefer movies/shows to be streamed than
games, because you only need to see shows once or twice tops, then you move on. With games, you can't really 100% complete them if they're going to be cycled through, you
have to play them more then one time to enjoy a game.

We already know they are lying, or at the very least being very misleading. Digital foundry tested it out and noted how the picture quality was pretty bad.Although I am hesitant with the idea of cloud gaming and do not want to see a decline in physical media. I am interested on how they will achieve this and pricing . The idea of playing a new game with the same quality as playing it on a high spec PC is interesting. We all know PC gaming in term of hardware is way ahead then console gaming. Google are boasting that there servers can handle this. Time will tell.
People have power..look nowdays how they are mad at youtube and how it changed... look at the social thing google wanted to do and didint work ( plus i believe it was called?).I think you underestimate the power google has over peoples thinking.

what ? people of course can choose if they buy or not something on the google stream thing.Just because someone has power doesn't give them the right to abuse it.
