Reality check for those of us who don't live in big cities:

I'm currently at my parents' in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
I have 9mb down and 600kbit/up
It's been at those speeds for +5 years
We have one provider available to us and they have no reason to improve their infrastructure ever
Stadia has no market here, sorry

Shit, I'd fucking kill for THOSE speeds where I am. I'm lucky to even get 3meg.

This is like a corpse before it arrives for the reasons that Sho Nuff laid out. Doesn't some of the country not even have any internet access at all? So this is a viable thing population wise for maybe half the country, and what % of those people are into gaming and would be up for an all streaming all the time machine? Not enough to be a financially viable thing. Since this is Google I guess they can just lose money on it forever. :teehee

I think this has a lot of potential, especially with the Youtube integration. A lot of enthusiast's problems such as input lag and image quality aren't going to be shared buy the general population. I mean movie enthusiasts love the bitrate of blu ray and want Dolby Vision as the standard. No one buying tv's at Walmart or Target to watch stuff on Netflix cares. It just needs to be good enough. 

Caps and speeds are the problems. Internet infrastructure in America is awful outside and even in major cities. That really needs to change and even then it will probably be in your major metropolitan areas.

The Apex Legends nerds already complain about the input latency being 5ms higher than CS:GO, at a whopping 14ms...

That said, the concept probably has a future (for slow paced games at least), and Google could probably pull it off. They have the infrastructure, the money, and a billion people already use their software and services and have accounts. They are in a much better position than Microsoft, let alone Sony. But they're also infamous for coming up with some shit, burning tons of money, getting bored and shitcanning everything.

The strength will be in the YouTube integration. When you watch "Angry Review Cyberpunk 2077" a button pops up: "Play now".

When a guy is streaming a FIFA match you can instantly join. The way that sort of integration is going to work is going to make or break this thing along with the available content(TM).
It is sort of the seamless community that Microsoft tried to built with their cloud gaming and XBLA ideas but never quite got off the ground.

Will it be another Crackdown 3, where the power of the cloud turns out to be very limited or will it actually work as advertised.

I don't think she should be entirely blamed for that, EA hired her to create new IPs, then told her staff farm to prop up Visceral's Star Wars, and then shoved the failed BioWare Montreal into her studio while telling them to start from scratch on another Star Wars game. She probably bailed out for this position because of all that.

As for the quality of the games, they sold buttloads, Blacklist failed to meet Ubisoft's expectations. (So did Watch_Dogs 2, which she didn't work on.) :trumps

I would point out that none of those games had anime tiddies.

I would argue Ms. Raymond should have been hired and the game dev division started two years ago, so they would actually have interesting, ready-to-go exclusive content to show this week as opposed to a Doom sequel, an Ubisoft port and some tech demos. They're launching in 2019. Are we supposed to ignore this until they make real games that actually take advantage of the platform?

Also not mentioned: pricing models. Good luck with that

That said if I can play games current gen games on switch that don't require precise input I could be in if thenprice is right.

The right price is not 30/60 bucks for a streaming only game line Ass Creed on Switch in Japan.

In some future world where everybody has awesome internet and there are no data caps this product makes sense, because there are probably a fair number of people that would theoretically play one or two games per year but don’t buy a console or whatever.

But... if the market of people that want to lay out the cash for  killer internet AND want to play a video game but also don’t have a way to play a video game seems like a weird overlap.

One thing is that I assume a lot of people will consume this stuff on PC, and input lag on a mouse is way more noticeable. I can’t imaging trying to play an FPS with a quarter second of input lag with a mouse.

Probably can do an ok job hiding it on a controller by messing with lock on and acceleration, but it will be trash with a mouse.

You can use all the emoji's you want, but your concerns are enthusiast gamer concerns.

Your average person just wants to play something well enough for convenience.

I gave my nieces my shitty old computer. They were happy enough to be able to play Fornite probably only at meduiem settings and not even 60fps.

My girlfriend brings over her old ass Xbox to play Battlefield 5 with me. She dosen't care or notice that it runs and looks better on the One X. She just likes to play the game.

PS4 and Xbox One S sales still sell well despite the obvious better upgrades.

The Switch is a thing and people love it. The Wii...

Fuck consoles in general have never been the place for 100% the best game experince.

Go to your local Walmart or Target, pay attention to the tvs there. No one buying them really gives a fuck about HDR least not the different standards and whatnot. 4k Blu ray sales and blu ray sales in general are an increasing niche despite still the overall better quality then streaming. People buy roku and amazon streaming sticks because it's simple or to fucking hack them so they can watch shitty quality rips of Aquaman. People watch full movies and tv shows on thier phones on the train.

All video games need to do is become as easy and passable to stream as movies and then you have a problem. It's the same thing that happen to movies and music. Make them easy and good enough ,because in both those situations they are not the top quality, and you have something that will really take off. Internet infrastructure is a problem sure, but not enough to stop this from taking off. And who knows how data caps and internet providers will evolve as this very real streaming economy evolves.

I just don't see the point in being dismissive of a very real thing.

I love buying video games. I love discs. I try to have the best quality myself. I am not the average consumer. Yet, I don't think what I like is going to disappear. But things like google's streaming service and the netflix like gamepass, those are kind of the future. And yes I get that that games are not 1 to 1 like movies, but neither was music.

All I'm saying is I wouldn't downplay this. The Yotube integration itself is extremely smart. Fuck the fact that it will be using Chromecasts which are probably built into the average Vizo or Samsung tv your consumer buys from Walmart means the ground work is already there.

Why are you comparing old consoles that might not be 60 fps 4k to input lag. Input lag is different from not being able to play in 60 fps. Not all games need 60 fps anyways. Shit, for most, 30 is fine. And I'm satisfied playing a non-fighting game in 30 fps. A story game like Mass Effect can do well being played in 50 fps.

What I have mentioned is input lag.

I get lag just using blue tooth on my phone. I'll get a notification on my phone and the notification beep comes up on my car stereo maybe 3 seconds later. That is the nature of wireless set ups as well as streaming.

https://twitter.com/prodiGtv/status/1108072829285814272

Comparing image quality to input lag isn't going to work as a comparison. What we are talking about are control responsiveness, which yes, factors into an enjoyable game. I've mentioned nothing about HDR, 4k, or anything of the sort. I'm the sort of gamer that doesn't give a fuck about that shit. Input lag, though.

Because it's pretty obvious that the input lag will improve.

I mean you just referenced playing street fighter 3 online and being happy with it. Which I'm pretty sure 5-10 years ago people thought would be impossible because of input lag. Yet here we are. Single player games will obviously be easier to do.

There was input lag during AC on the Project Stream test, but not enough to ruin the game. And not enough to think it would improve from an already solid base.

It merely needs to get good enough for most people to take off. And most people will already have access to it.

Input lag like that doesn't "feel" as  bad with a controller though;  but yeah it's nearly unplayable with a mouse.

Depends on the type of game. In a platformer, yes it does. Completely changes the nature and timing of the jump.

Online is just a supplement. It's not the real thing (an arcade machine or playing locally). I know many players who refuse to play online even now. :idont Even then, I just tend to play games that would likely be impeded.

Sometimes high tech doesn't mean better tech.

In order for Google's thing to work:

1. We should all be on fiber connections or fiber equivalent
2. You'd have to completely change the fabric of American online infrastructure
3. Wireless shouldn't be the only option of play

Either way, I don’t think it’s going to replace console gaming. But I think it’s going to do well and give people and publishers options. I think it’s exciting even though I probably won’t use it.

This is something that won’t happen, but I’d love to see people try out Persona 5 or Final Fantasy X because they watched a thing about them on YouTube and then the link to play them was right there.

I want to emphasize that I think an option for both streaming and hard copy should be possible. Just like today, wireless controllers haven't taken away from the fact you can still play with a wired controller. Both have their own utility. The main concern comes when people talk of one technology "replacing" another.

tbh not even movie streaming convinced me. No one wants to sign up for more than one or two services at the same time and the offerings on their own are pretty crap. The most basic movies/classics are gone within a month on Netflix, or haven't ever been on there. I don't even want to imagine the licencing hassle for games. Not to mention that converting 60$ products to a stream will no way make for subscriptions as cheap as movies. Unless you go full mobile gacha and lootboxes for everything.

This is true, but to a lot of people the mentality is less "i want to watch X, who has it?" and more "i want to watch anything, what does Netflix offer?".

Yeah. In the case of something like Netflix you pay once a month. How do you pay for games? Stuff is taken off Netflix all the time. What about when services shutter? Do you own it? Criterion Collection has gone from Netflix to Hulu to FilmStruck. FilmStruck closed down and now Criterion has to make their own service. Never mind that paying for a game has always been more expensive than paying for a movie. So what happens if it I pay monthly and I like this one specific game and it's taken off the service? Or what if I pay full price for the game and it's taken off? We have a something similar to how this is handled already and it's how Apple handles games. Firmware upgrades may or may not work with your games. Entire games have to be completely retooled sometimes to work on new firmware updates. People will deliberately not update so they don't lose their games/apps. I see a similar consumer/developer hostility with a stream service.

However, there's an anomaly in your example. I pay for Netflix and Hulu but I sometimes do rent or buy from Youtube or Amazon. They're safe and it's okay to throw four bucks at Google to rent a movie for a night.

It sounds good for disposable for gaming, but not much beyond that.

The main concern comes when people talk of one technology "replacing" another.
I think Google fucked up by not launching a hybrid solution where you could have streaming everywhere but offline play for those who want it

There might be a market for this but its not "teh future of gaming".

If anything gaming is very diverse now. PC doing good, Switch doing good, PS4 doing good, mobile games doing good. Very diverse ecosystem that caters to lots of stuff and people.

Lets not die on any hills here like Oscar did with mobile gaming.

Its called Game Pass. I know the Xbox One isn't viewed in a favorable light on the bore, but as a service, Game Pass has been fucking excellent. There isn't streaming yet, but at this point, its not needed.

If tiers or packages are added, imagine paying $29.99 monthly to play most AAA games right when they launch.
OH!

I think it’s talking about how game pass works. I’m pretty sure he knows the Xbox sales figures.
