Google Stadia is coming. Are you excited?

Not in the least. Unless you have a monster connection at all times, there will be latency problems, and there will probably be latency even with a monster connection. Someone streaming with Stadia (GS or IGN, I don't remember) died in DOOM because of latency. And they were at a place made to showcase Stadia.

**** that piece of shit hard.

Nope. I’m not at all interested in playing games through a streaming service. The quality of what I might get is not an issue for me, I simply prefer to buy a console that can play games from a physical format locally.

Nah, it will be a B-tier experience with sluggish feeling controls.

**** NO, but like everything in gaming casuals will **** it up for the rest of us.

It will do well with casuals, likely mobile phone gamers.

Yes anything that scares Sony into bending the knee to Ms has me interested, I have the internet speed for 4k60 and a good HDR tv

I won’t buy full priced digital games as I like to complete a game and trade/sell for another

If there are a decent amount of studios supporting it And some subscription options i’ll Give it a bash

Though with rumours Ubisoft are going to have a game pass type subscription I wonder where that leaves their games going to stadia.afterall they showcased it with AC odyssey

No, even the input lag from not having game mode on the TV is too much, no way the added latency from online is going to be useable for any kind of half serious gaming.

Anaconda or bust. :P

0/10 , couldn't care less about this service. I'm not interested in game streaming and I already have tons of games to play on my X.

I keep forgetting Stadia is a thing. Miss me with that Google shit.

Yeah I'm always excited for new things.

It's not really something I see myself using a lot, but I see the potential. It would likely be a win for Linux gaming in general as well.

So yeah. I'm excited.

I'm hyped to see how long it last before Google kills it.

Now everybody has a 4k60 hdr pc, just the ones who are going to use stadia didn’t have to pay for it

I can't get excited into paying for any streaming service, honestly. They have to show me something that's worth paying for first to be honest.

I will power down my Ouya and put my Gizmodo into storage for this very occasion.

Streaming is garbage for gaming that demands minimal latency. No fucking way.

I'm excited, anything that offers me a way to NOT have to buy a new console in the near future is a welcome development. Also, if it motivates Sony and M$ to provide a good streaming service, all for it.

I'm more excited about laundering my socks than playing games on Stadia.

Personally Im more excited for the xbox gamepass on PC. Stadia seems like a pass at this point.

Why stream games with such powerful hardware? The whole thing seems like a waste.

Not really excited, but I am interested to see how it all works out and the quality it can push

Yup! I love videogames so more of them is a good thing!

I’m more excited about paying my taxes than Google Stadia.

So hope streaming won't be the only way to play new games in the future, yuck streaming.

I bet you dollars to donuts that if/when streaming takes hold that companies are going to pause your game stream to inject advertising. Probably have a basic service with ads and a premium one without.

@Sevenizz: You don't like games, be real now.

Nonononononono

@fedor: Damn, you got me!

@Sevenizz: You almost got away with it.

Streaming gaming can kiss my ass.

Not yet. Seems too expensive so far.

Not when i'm stuck at 120Mb/s. I'm fine playing my games locally, and paying a premium for hardware.

@mtron32: You have a fatal flaw in your logic and its because streaming games is complete ass. I'd rather shit on the floor and plug a controller into that pile of shit then stream games, hopefully when Google fails bad with this song and MS do take notice and leave streaming in the toilet where it belongs.

LOL

It's going to make console kids real mad since the games will count.

You say that because no one has successfully made it happen yet, doesn't mean they shouldn't push the issue. At some point streaming games is going to happen and then the vast majority will just not bother with a tangible disc. I remember when I used to collect movies, I've got two dvd wallets filled with iver 500 films that I never look at because I'm too lazy to go get them and load them and all my streaming services are fat with content. I'm hoping that gaming goes the same route, then I wont have to pay for full games and I can try all the new shit without bothering to buy the full game.

I said Yes, simply cause I want to see if its money or a bust.

I certainly plan to get around to testing it out and seeing what it is like but don't anticipate loving it.

Does anyone have any idea when it's coming? I feel like, with the lack of info right now, Stadia won't arrive for quite a while. Probably very late 2019.

Go play with your mobile phone.

I can't seem them pausing your game, but I see them showing adds while the next level loads etc.

@i_p_daily: Yeah I could definitely see them putting ads during loading times.

Yeah streaming is garbage, i'd rather quit my 30+ year hobby then to stream.

@mtron32: They can't even stream movies yet at the same quality as you find on physical blu rays, how the he'll do you think they'll magically make it happen with an insanely interactive medium like gaming? There's a reason no ones done it yet and its because they're no where close to that goal. This upcoming failure is going to be fun to watch. Also If rather buy what I want to watch or play rather then hope and pray a streaming service gets the movies/games I want to watch/play. Streaming hasn't killed physical movies, it sure as he'll isn't going,to make a dent in gaming.

It's a cool concept but I think it would ultimately fail.

I'm going to go ahead and dodge Google's cumming.

Nup.

Gave me a good laugh.

Nope, the games it plays my PC can already play better.

Then there are the downsides of streaming like artifacting and input latency.

The only place it would make sense would be MMO games where a permanent internet connection is required and there are frequent updates and latency is less important than desyncs...

But who is gonna pay for it?
