Don't forget that is hard to find another player in the game. It's basically all bots
Imagine not being able to sell a streaming device to the masses when everyone is stuck inside for a month.
That's how dead stadia is
Are you telling me "negative latency" was all bullshit? Who would have guessed...Remember when people actually believed Google had developed an AI that could predict your button presses in advance to remove the input lag?
imagine being a billion dollar company with employees having the highest education on the planet making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and STILL having no clue as to how the video game market works, a.k.a "one does not just enter the video game market without having highly attractive exclusive software". The videogame market of the last 30+ years has shown that dozens of dozens of times with all the failed consoles and handhelds. You can't get more naive than Google.
On the other hand, if you have this much money, maybe thinking isn't even neccessary anymore. You just go for any idea that "sounds good".

Not people. Companies. Companies love Streaming of any kind, because it reverts control of ownership back to the IP holder. It is financially beneficial to offer less for more.that people used to think that Stadia could change gaming landscape..
the used to be lot of believer even at here, believing that stadia would be part center of gaming landscape next gen. Even on other site, lot of insider there place their faith.Not people. Companies.

But the companies couldn't figure out a way to sell a worse product at a higher price, at least not this time with Stadia.
If they made a real "Netflix for gaming", I think that they'll do great. But they didn't, and there's Microsoft, Sony and Steam doing their thing that is more close to the ideal plan. Google is just loosing by designthe used to be lot of believer even at here, believing that stadia would be part center of gaming landscape next gen.

Have you tried the xcloud beta? Being able to play games that aren't too latency sensitive while on a bus is great. Stuff like state of decay, destiny 2, the Sims and such.So too with all game streaming....
All game streaming needs to fail and fail hard. Gaming needs local hardware.
Streaming gaming is great as an optionSo too with all game streaming....

Not interested. I have a Switch if I want to go mobile... answer to a problem that doesn't exist.Streaming gaming is great as an option
In a not so distant future people will have better internet and stuff, so you could plug a dongle on a friend's tv, hotel or something, and you can play very easily. Also, resuming the game on a tv and playing again on a smartphone is the dream
That was BEFORE Stadia announce the pricing structure. Just like with Xbox, the expectation is that Google would throw money away to keep things attractive.

Ok....
DRM free that I can own with no clients, etc necessary and can backup in full on physical media and permanently keep and play whenever I want for $30US$30 on GOG. Stadia costs US$40
To be fair, if one plays on stadia, they have more money than brain cells. Imagine paying premium prices for fast internet and game licenses but oh, a gaming rig or a console is one bridge too far. Walking punchlines.DRM free that I can own with no clients, etc necessary and can backup in full on physical media and permanently keep and play whenever I want for $30
Vs.
Game I can't own that is stuck on servers that if ever go down temporarily I can't play and if down permanently I'll never be able to play again for $40
Wow. Tough choice.
All streaming must suffer such a fate... a fate worse than death.I just wanted to congratulate everyone on making this the failure it deserves to be. I am convinced that gaming would've been worse off if Google were successful.
The problem I have with cloud gaming in it's current state s that it's not ambitious enough. Aside from Grid's 40 car multiplayer races on Stadia I can't really think of a single game that does anything with the raw computing power of the cloud that consoles can't. Where's my Ready Player One type experiences?

Optimization is the reason. I mean, Batman Arkham Knight run really bad on PCs, even thou PS4 was a weaker hardware, and not long after release everyone saw that only 10 people worked on the port to PCespecially when it comes to stadia there is no crazy horsepower there either.
Immortals Fenyx Rising runs at 30fps and it doesn't look super crazy detailed or cutting edge in any way either.
where are those 11TF GPUs Stadia servers supposedly have?
most games run below Xbox One X Settings and/or performance, some run as low as PS4 Pro settings and/or performance.
11TF cloud servers my ass, what are they using? GCN1???
or are they using some REAAAAALLLY shitty CPUs? but then how does Destiny run at 1080p 60fps when Bungie apparently thinks that dthe One X's CPU is too weak to run it at 60fps?
That is why Streaming will not take off. Image quality is top priority for consoles.Anyone tried that Immortals: Fenyx Rising demo in stadia?
I have to say, i was fairly impressed with the snappiness of stadia there. I'm not a pretty mediocre internet connection & wifi, yet it felt absolutely responsive.
Image quality, on the other hand, was a bit of a disaster for me. Game looked like it was rendered at 480p and then upscaled and blurred. It's a little hard to say if that is down to the game itself, to stadia, or my particular connection though, I wonder what everyone else's experience is?

For many people there is no difference. And the image quality tends to get better as the overall internet improves and allows better bitrate, not the opposite.
The tech is good and I can totally see it in the future.
The problem is Google's business model and the lack of experience in this market.
Also the issue is streaming. This will be a problem with E-Sport. Streaming will not be the future.For many people there is no difference. And the image quality tends to get better as the overall internet improves and allows better bitrate, not the opposite.

Yeah I have not once had a problem with the image quality on Stadia. But it doesn’t matter, for me Google essentially pulled the plug on the service when they closed their own Studios. I cancelled my day 1 sub the same day.For many people there is no difference. And the image quality tends to get better as the overall internet improves and allows better bitrate, not the opposite.
