  • Tech gets fixed, performance improves

All Google has to do is find a way to make the signal go back in time a few milliseconds.

Or install a small data center next to every user. They could call those mini data centers "home consoles".

The controller is offered in three different colors, white, black, and a light green ‘wasabi’ color, chosen for its “universal appeal” according to Google director of design Isabelle Olsson who found that “both men and women gravitated towards this color.” She praised the fact that “it ended up being super gender neutral but still really expressive” as “it’s really hard to find colors like that.”

The thing with Stadia that strikes me the most is that yes, we have had poor/rough video game platform launches in the past.
But 9 out of 10 times even those launches would have a worthwhile exclusive game.

Stadia has absolutely nothing going for it  :doge

Even the Saturn had Panzer Dragoon, Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA at launch.

If we're looking to compare things historically, it'd be more accurate to compare the lineups of consoles that were the first of their kind by their manufacturer. Even then it looks bad (NES and PS1 still had much better launches), but not *as* bad. No duh Sega's third and fourth consoles will have amazing launch lineups, they invested in an entire first/third party apparatus.

Once upon a time Xbox rolled out with HALO.

They're Google, they have Jade Raymond and Phil Harrison. There's no excuse to not have a single worthwhile exclusive game on your new gaming platform.

Google responds after Stadia owners accuse it of breaking promises over game performance
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-11-25-google-issues-statement-after-stadia-owners-say-it-broke-promises-over-game-performance

Quote
"We designed Stadia to enable 4K/60 (with appropriate TV and bandwidth)," Harrison said. "We want all games to play 4K/60 but sometimes for artistic reasons a game is 4K/30 so Stadia always streams at 4K/60 via 2x encode."
:doge

Quote
"We expect that many developers can, and in most cases will, continue to improve their games on Stadia. And because Stadia lives in our data centers, developers are able to innovate quickly while delivering even better experiences directly to you without the need for game patches or downloads."
blaming the devs for fucking up our lovely launch, of course that'll work and definitely not piss anyone off! :lol

Google is saying my unit was delivered but it never was. I have to go to battle with this shitty company again. Every time I’ve used the Google Store, there’s been some sort of fuckup. This is two fuckups on one order. Good job, Google. Cancel a few more projects. You’re still spread way too thin.

Oh, THAT thing. I haven't tried it since the summer, but 6ish months in, it still felt like I was beta testing an almost-solid product. That was also a Google Store purchase that went wrong. They had to resend me the keyboard iirc but I forget the whole drama.

They make things I want to like! It just seems like they have a problem when it comes to delivering.

I think you just choose the wrong products of their lineup... both Pixelbooks are great, but the Slate wasn't... Chromecast is good, but Stadia is iffy... etc.

I mean, makes sense: The wifi has to up/down constantly for the streaming so the radio hardware is gonna heat up.

Sucks, but that's something Google REALLY should've figured out before launch.

Yeah, but you're streaming down (just video to you) not up (input like games) and down (the games images/etc), so it's less "taxing" on the wifi, in a way.

Which sounds insane when I put it like that, but...

The UX for GeforceNow is awkward at best.. but yeah it works really well.

Yeah, I thought I could play my free games from the epic store. After waiting for 10 minutes it just boots up Steam. Where I don't have the game I just booted. I mean even if your database is absolut shit, you could at least add Steam or Epic Store to the respective game title or at least the description. Some games have logos, but in most cases there is just no information at all.

Also kind of a downer that 25 MB line is't enough for 1080p. Apart from the bandwidth, my line is actually pretty tight. But as my Dell monitor is shit at downscaling, games would probably look like ass. Apparently it's enough for Stadia, although that might be just Googles marketing talk.

Anyway, even if I didn't actually played anything, Geforce Now offering a free version definetly rekindled my interest in this streaming thing, already thinking about upgrading to a 50 or 100 Mb line, lol. Gonna be interesting how well all those different services work. From a business pov, I wonder how profitable this streaming biz will be for the providers. All the big ones want in and with that much competition prices will probably low for at least a couple of years.
