Bit of a read but a very Interesting article on the origins of Stadia, it’s development, and the challenges it’ll face after launch


I don’t think cloud gaming will totally replace consoles, but it will definitely carve out its own space within the video game ecosystem and be a factor. The fact that they’ve been able to get titles like CyberPunk & Red Dead on the service bodes well for their ability to attract 3rd party developers and port games over to the platform. They still need their own killer IP which is yet to be seen, but I think the service is gonna surprise a lot of people when it drops next month

Won't amount to shyt unless IP bandwidth issues/usage requirements for consumers are resolved

Thanks breh. I enjoy reading articles like this.

That said, I am looking forward to next month's digital foundry comparisons of Red Dead, Borderlands, Destiny and Doom comparisons of input lag and image quality vs consoles and PC.

Four big budget titles should give us an idea of the near future for streaming platforms.

If Destiny, Borderlands and Red Dead run at 60fps on Stadia, I think people will be surprised with input lag results vs console.

Something about google getting into the gaming industry just rubs me the wrong way.

Why? Both Sony & Microsoft are tech companies that jumped in the gaming industry.

i thought the idea was ok initially... but then the pricing

You’re creating a straw man argument. He didn’t say there was a problem with a tech company making a gaming console, he said “google”. The company notorious for making products and cancelling them the second they get bored. The company that has perpetual beta syndrome, the company that releases hardware and thinks email is adequate support. What happens when you spend $60.00 on some games and Stadia goes the way of Hangouts? You are left with nothing.

What's wrong with the pricing? When the free stadia base plan launches in 2020 you can essentially play games without having to grab a console or even a new controller. Granted you're paying $60 for access to a digital product but obviously people do that all the time. You dont even need stadia pro for multiplayer play either so it's entry barrier is pretty low compared to everyone else. Even the founders edition is $70 cheaper than a Switch lite.

As far as stadia getting dropped by google, I doubt that it happens anytime soon given how big of an investment they're making on it, plus developers wouldnt have committed to the platform without the expectation that it'll be around for a while. Google still has to prove themselves in the gaming space but so far I aint mad at the vision. It all comes down to execution once the service launches
