Google New Console out this week?

I'm so fucking sick of subscriptions I've got netflix and a gym membership and a phone plan how much more money do these dickheads wanna bleed from me at regular intervals

This honestly scares me.
I don't want to pay for and put tons of time into anything that can be taken away if the company decides to.
Streaming games as a novelty if you already own the game is fine, but still being able to own the object physically is the most important part.
Fuck

Played Ass Creed Odyssey on it, it's okay I guess. Too bad 75% of Americans have data caps.

I feel like customer fatigue is definitely a thing though, losing a bigass chunk of your pay immediately every week isn't a good feeling and people will start to prioritise

>stream HD angry birds
FINALLY
we can move on from those stupid phones and play real games on real consoles

>the netflix of video games!
which means:
nothing stays on the service forever; games are rotated in and out just like shows and movies
multiple billing tiers for picture quality and amount of games you can stream at once to your devices
you're at the whim of good servers
no modding whatsoever
only a matter of time before isps throttle you for streaming massive amounts of data all day and make you pay extra for a "gamer" tier package

They do, but there's also the forces of pay increases and new users countering that. When I was broke, $8 a month felt like a massive expenditure. Now that I make more than $100k a year, it feels nonexistent.

so is the entire reason they're releasing the "console" so they can essentially botnet the computing and hosting costs of their game streaming service?

I just want to play DQXI
Not all of us have super computers or the latest in consoles...

I don't care if it lags a couple milliseconds

is this thing still alive?

was there significant lag?

>Not all of us have super computers or the latest in consoles...
have you tried not paying a monthly fee to stream a video game and use that money to instead save up a buy a the latest console?

No one is going to buy this when they can just get a ps4 or xbox one for $300 or less used. What is the point of a console that exists to stream games that are already released on many other platforms on a monthly subscription?

A second hand PS4 should come at the range of 150 bucks. Maybe less if you play smart. Not so much for the Switch though.

>streaming
Lol

>another streaming console
DEAD

Sony and maybe Microsoft will try it but it will bomb so hard they will never try it again.

Personally I don't care if that really happens, honestly. I have an absolute fuck ton of old games I've never played/want to replay. There's so much I probably have enough for the rest of my life.

An average australian income of around $60k a year after rent/mortgage, tax, food, bills, etc doesn't leave a lot of room for extra subscriptions. I'm happy for you, nice flex and all, but you're an outlier.

I know, but it's bullshit to push it now. Most people don't have a performing enough internet connection to stream games. I really hope the next generation of consoles doesn't start pushing it too, or it's going to suck SO much dick.

>I wouldn't even be surprised if the next generation of all the consoles are streaming.
Nah, next gen will be regular consoles, but halfway through there will be a budget revision that's just a streaming box and a controller. It's the PS6 that'll be full streaming, and they'll sell it with garbage like "now the graphics for all games get better over time as we upgrade the servers!".

> everything will eventually go the streaming route
Only AAA. Games with simple old graphics will be playable locally.

vr in a nutshell

They are surrounded by yes men. This happened in redmond with microsoft and windows 8 metro tiles.
They are completely disconnected with people that are actually poor/middle class.

The slow, lumbering response of RDR2 controls is to slowly adjust players to the lag of future streaming titles.

ah yes, another console, just what the oversaturated video game market needs. i mean, the Ps4 and the xbone are both doing stellar right? oh wait, just one of them is

Have you not been playing games for the past decade? They all play like shit because of LCD lag compensation, companies realise that their customers might be playing with 300ms+ delay on 4k hunks of shit, so everything is as easy as possible and reaction based gameplay hasn't existed outside of online play in years.

>streaming
its fucking normalfag bait or for network illiterate retards.
normalshitflix already created a network peak hour that will 100% ruin the latency even if you ARE fucking close to the server ahaha they are so fucked

>reaction based gameplay hasn't existed outside of online play in years.
Its due to controllers. They are the worse input method.

Kys

it will only have a few ported aaa trash games and garbage phone games. all will be western trash and some cheap chink rip offs

whod buy such a garbage machine

>>Its due to controllers. They are the worse input method.
There's nothing wrong with controllers, rubber domes aren't appreciably worse than microswitches and wireless latency has been lower than monitor delay since pretty much the first first-party wireless option.

The issue is LCDs, and games being designed purely for the lowest common denominator.

you couldn't make it any more obvious you're from another website if you tried

You definitely felt the lag. It was like forgetting to turn game mode on on your TV.
I suppose given that modern games are all post-processing buffered to hell and back again input lag is highly variable game to game, so if you aren't familiar with the local version already you might not notice.
The big problem the service had was image quality. It was okay until everything started moving rapidly, then it was a mess of blocks.

Wait, isn't this guy is a "musician" (raper)? What the fuck does he have to do with bootleg nintendo consoles?

They already did this years ago. When rolling out fiber in Kansas city, they provided a "free" 5mbs lifetime internet package to anyone, after paying a $100 installation fee or so.

it looks like someone bolted on white metal panels onto an Xbox One and combined an NES Controller and an Xbox One Controller.

Why can't companies make actualy consoles? Like an actual console lsuch as PS4. XBOX1 and Switch? Is it that hard to make?

Literally got away with selling roms on Chinese knock off consoles rebranded as his own and is still selling them.

Well thats the moment I stop buying games then. I mostly go on with indies already anyway.

He sold bootleg Nintendo consoles under his "tech" company through some Chinese manufacturer.

The funny thing is the Switch uses a more recent version of the same SOC.

I wanted to watch a movie I saw on Netflix before but it was no longer available. That reality alone makes me hate the service and would rather have some kind of genuine ownership of the product I’m buying.

Someone edit this to say "nigger".

On top of all the technical issue with streaming game, the worst problem is to find a good business model.

A service like Netflix cost around 10 to 14$, and it's just for streaming a decent catalog of series, and a shitty catalog of movie.
To stream game would cost a whole lot more than to stream video. Like there's no way that it's not at least 2x more expensive (so around 25$). Now even with that, game production cost is way more expensive than your average serie on Netflix.
Like I'm pretty sure that a 25$ service will never be able to top the number you get from regular physical or virtual store. What AAA did we've got in 2018 : god of war, assassin's Creed, rdr2, Spiderman, call of duty, battlefield, fifa.
There's no way a service like that would produce enough money to pay all those company.
Also all of this is assuming there's only one service that own all the game, which is not realistic either.

You just pay full-price for the games normally, duh.

Seconding this

good, the AAA/$60 model needs to die already anyway. Netflix isn't churning out summer blockbusters, it's paying for weird niche stuff and buying things that might not otherwise get any attention

Google has already demoed the Yeti technology, its essentially the standard Linux gaming stack with the same stuff Valve has in beta on Steam for Linux, except hosted on a remote Ryzen/Vega system.

In the short term its no threat to Valve, and in the long term it may help Valve if it gets more developers on to standards and off shit like Metal, D3D12, and UWP.

Yeah I'm sure they'd build it on top of facebook's corpse, oh wait

Except that people want the AAA games, what we'll get most likely is the system where dev are paid based on play time (like Spotify), and in this kind of system, indie and niche stuff get totally fucked by AAA games.

remember when Yea Forums thought Atari was going to blow the market wide open with their new console? Lol.

honestly yeah. kinda looking forward to it

although nintendo would always be 2 generations behind so wed have that for awhile

Unfortunately I think this is the future of "console" gaming. It's already absurdly expensive to make games that really take advantage of a PS4 Pro's hardware or whatever, and I don't think it's going to be economical to keep making games that keep pace with technology as it advances. Instead, I think in a decade we'll be using our smartphones to stream 4k/60 PS4-quality graphics to our TVs and "Playstation," "XBOX," etc. will just be app stores and lines of accessories like controllers, TV docks, etc.

The capabilities of these open AMD+Linux platforms keeps increasing. Its really only a matter of time until somebody gets it working as a commercial product.
Atari kept getting cash injections and increasing the specs last I knew. The same was true of that Steam controller style handheld.
Valve now just seems to be waiting on SteamOS 3 before taking another crack at the hardware market, with DXVK hitting 1.0 and Faudio merged upstream that may be close now.

Give less money to marketing and bribing and you have enough money again.

>stream consoles reduce amount of purchaseable games
>crypto fags drive the price of hardware even higher
>pc gaming dies forever

Fuck that there's no chance I'm buying some shit that's going to spy on me 24/7.

The name "Google" is enough for many people for not buying it.

Nigga, there is still room for improvement.
Better bots, bigger worlds, more objects, more detail, high res textures for irrelevant objects in the background, ray tracing, physics for every object, etc

are you implying everyone will have a 4k smartphone and fast enough internet speed so stream? (not even counting using smartphone to play console-tier games, the controls just aren't good enough until the bumped touch screen technology becomes affordable and mainstream which might take decades)
streaming cuts a huge part of the population because of the technicalities themselves, and I don't see it getting better any time soon

>streaming cuts a huge part of the population because of the technicalities themselves
That part doesn't matter much because everybody can see this is the wave of the future and companies want to get out in front so that when the infrastructure is ready they're the market leader.

just to abandon it when no one buys it just like VR right?

I hope console devs get so greedy that they actually do this. Fuck console owners in general for holding everyone back by being too dumb to build a PC. You get to stream bloodborne 2 in 30 fps with random packet drops and disconnects as punishment.

Just because the media stops paying attention to something, doesn't mean that companies have stopped working on it.
Sooner or later VR and all the other stuff the reporters have forgotten about will come back to the front of the queue and they'll make a big deal about them again.
Not sure when that will be though with the huge stink that's going to be made around new years.

>be evil

VR might come back but it wasn't the huge buzz/"future of gaming" people were saying it would be because it was just too expensive for common people to afford and there were not enough games, which attracted no consumers and thus no developers worked on it, making it be a catch 22 case
people might still work and improve VR tech and it might still take years until we actually see affordable mainstream VR, but just like streaming, there are actual physical barriers in the way throtling progress
Trying to push a stream only console right now is an idiotic option and only the elite will buy it, which is not enough money for these big companies, thus attracting no developers and thus not attracting more buyers, and the cycle will repeat

>I wouldn't even be surprised if the next generation of all the consoles are streaming.

>streaming service

yeah, fuck that. good tactic though if you're trying to catch retards.

>Trying to push a stream only console right now is an idiotic option and only the elite will buy it,
I don't think you understand the point of a streaming 'console', the hardware in the device becomes irrelevant, Google already demoed the technology and at worst they'd need to push out a new version of their smart TV apps and maybe a new revision of the Chromecast. The limiting factor would be geography, but that wouldn't be too difficult for them to handle with a staggered roll out. They just have to roll up with a Semi, drop off the shipping container full of Ryzen+Vega servers, hook it up to the local internet in a city, and then flip the switch to enable the service there.

yeah?
and that stopped dead in its tracks because of the STRANGLEHOLD THAT FUCKING COMPANIES HAVE ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE SHIT

you're delusional if you think current tech will allow more than 1000 people to fully enjoy it without major technical issues

>Better bots, bigger worlds, more objects, more detail, high res textures for irrelevant objects in the background, ray tracing, physics for every object, etc
These are exactly the things I think will hold mainstream gaming back. The tech isn't the issue, it's the amount of time and labor that goes into making those high quality models and textures, programming better AI, and so on. A few companies (notably CIG) are working on tools to speed up the creation of these things but it's not enough to make up the difference by any means. You also run into issues with the size of game files and download times, a game that takes full advantage of mid-2020s hardware may well be 1TB or more and I don't see network speeds catching up fast enough to handle that.

I wasn't actually necessarily thinking about streaming, it could also be the case that you just download games to your phone's flash storage, which by 2025 or so will probably be at least 1TB, which is plenty to handle several PS4-quality games.

I do think most people will have phone hardware that can push that level of graphics by then, but I wasn't talking about people actually gaming on their phone screens, what I meant was that you'd hook your phone up to a TV and use a bluetooth controller, so it'd fully replicate the experience of a modern console.

>I meant was that you'd hook your phone up to a TV and use a bluetooth controller, so it'd fully replicate the experience of a modern console.
ah I see, it could work since the switch has shown it is possible so that could make things more accessible to everyone, but not all phones are equal and people would still need to get different models for different games to get it to run better
this is kind of why the steamboxes failed actually

>user ITT arguing about infrastructure/bandwidth in an era where smartphone gaming is becoming the dominant platform

streaming consoles will have no problems delivering their mediocre content and will be 25% of the cost of a full fledged console

I could see boomers getting them just to play repackaged ROMs for the 100th time and probably little kids won't care because they play literally anything

True, but in another 10 years I think just about anything but absolute shit phones will be able to handle PS4 quality games, and since this would be replacing modern $3-400 consoles you could just figure that people would spend an extra $3-400 on their phones instead if they were getting them to game on. You might also start to see more standardization in phones if they became mainstream gaming platforms, maybe even a situation where Sony would specify a certain CPU, GPU, etc. and then Samsung, LG, Huawei, etc. would sell certain "Playstation-compatible" models that had the same core hardware.

>everything will eventually go the streaming route
Indie gaming wants to say hi.
Anybody outside of AAA companies will not have resources for such move. Esports also requires lightning-fast rendering which streaming will never beat.
>but indie devs will talk with companies to release it on streaming services
Then they are as much indie as I am professional dancer.
Streaming is just a vision of bigger companies to squeeze more bucks and give more access to retards who can't into gaming at all. So, expect mobile-tier monetization on such platforms with similar nagging to give them money.

VR actually has some future, it's just still too clunky to use and way too expensive. 'Digital only' already exists so I don't understand your point. Streaming already failed as service. I've tried it for shit and giggles on my phone with LTE with HD resolution streamed. Lag was simply too high and overall experience was like running in molasses. Even steam link which runs on LAN has lag but it's reasonable for casual gaming. Unless they haven't got in every city servers running their service they won't be able to bring anything else than mobile-tier gaming.

With no games

VR does have a future, but their biggest hurdle is finding a way to appeal to the couch potato. They have to understand that even helmet+waggle is too much effort to bother for most.

Hey Google, maybe you should fix your Chromebooks first, because I bought two apps on mine and neither of them could be used because everything in your store is for smartphone touch screens.

I think the real future of VR isn't in gaming, but rather in augmented reality. If we can figure out how to make compact, lightweight, and transparent VR glasses that are practical for everyday wear (or at least to be carried around in a coat pocket or small bag for occasional use) and which have similar projection quality to current VR, and which can operate without separate sensors and can be networked together, we'll suddenly be able to do scifi-style holograms in a real practical way. The potential for use in science, education, architecture, engineering, and so on is massive.

the absolute state of (((google)))

Quick guys we need to design a new wojak hat for the inevitable googlefags
I’m thinking yellow to go with the 3 colors we have now
And the hat is a visor

This is why, as silly as it may seem to some who are so used to streaming now, I still buy dvds/blu-rays, as well as keep pirated copies on a drive somewhere.

The googlefag wojak also wears these dumbass glasses
Get on it drawfags

Go back.

Why not just emulate for free at that point? The trade-offs for the monthly fee don't seem worth it at that point

Ironically, VR would be the escape hatch out of the streaming hell bad future. There is no way in hell you are going to make VR work by rendering in the ""cloud"". Not only the massive resolution requirements but also even slight latency feels like shit and makes you hurl.

They literally repurposed a gamestick controller

>science, education, architecture, engineering, and so on
Yea, everything but games, which frankly no one gives a shit about anything on that list aside from the types who see "potential" without bothering with actually thinking through what that "potential" could look like. Seeing buildings on your coffe table? Wow, how would that be any more useful than doing the same in proper VR?

Google YEET

you can pirate a game if it is streamed only hehe

oh shit, that' right
how can we pirate stream only games?

You could go to a building site and actually see what the building is going to look like once it's built, and you could actually walk through or around something large without being constrained by a VR room or cables. You could have animations or annotations on top of real things, like exhibits in a museum. You could project a simulated view of the outside world for pilots flying through low visibility, which is already a common tech but isn't currently projected in 3D. Teachers in classrooms could show students things they can't get in real life (historical objects etc.), or things that are too large or small to show normally. (The solar system, molecules, etc..) You could have all kinds of crazy effects in live theater or music performances. Military commanders could use it for battlefield awareness or organization. (For example it'd make a great replacement for those boards they use to keep track of where aircraft on a carrier are.)

There are some gaming applications too, TCGs where you actually see holographic monsters fight, or tabletop strategy games, or whatever, but they're pretty lame compared to the science and industry potential.

So it's a streaming service for Ouya trash and has nothing to do with actual games.

yes it's just streaming

I'm a developer and they held a conference explaining it to us

The "console" is a fucking streaming box and they want some kind of universal controller that connects to everything, including chromecasts and of course smartphones

I didn't take part to the conference because I'm a low tier shit eater but then the guys who were in it quickly reported it to me and this is what they said

Lots of cool niche things certainly, but blowing up more than VR? Absolutely not. The real world is too limited to be able to to do much of anything useful beyond the "Stick stuff on top of real stuff when relevent." like many of your examples are. Everything else would be better served with VR, where there's 100% control of the entire environment and you can do literally /anything/.
It's not to say AR can't be a thing, you listed enough reasons for it to have relevancy, but by nature of how it existes, it's inherently playing second fiddle to proper VR. That is, if somehow we ever figure out opaque displays with transparency to reality, something we literally can't do right now.

Why do they not get that the internet infrastructure just ISN'T THERE for game streaming?

HAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
>i spent 2000$ on a new video card

Streaming games has no benefit to the consumers. all supporting streaming game services will do is eventually lead to consumers losing a lot of market control and options.

I already have. I'm basically down to Spotify, Verizon, and Gamespass which will likely go away soon. I pay for the Gym once a year for the discount and my car insurance every six months.

Literally impossible to make streaming comparable to actually having the game on your own machine with current, or foreseeable technology. Even if streaming did somehow become popular with a new even more casual audience that doesn't care about input delay, shitty resolution, or all your games being at the mercy of your connection it wouldn't remove the audience already there that wants the standard model.

Could be possible they're making another push with Google Fiber, although they'd still have a long way to go getting the rest of the US connected. Plus, with how dubious Google has been lately with their practices, I'm personally not too keen on having more ways for them to "monitor" me.

this is a good argument, esports players are autistic and would revolt against stream only games. the twitch normies will follow suit.

It will never be "there." There is no way to mitigate network latency enough to prevent input from being delayed 10+ frames. What they're going to do instead is alter the design of games to mask the latency, and once that becomes the accepted norm, they will have won. Physical, locally executed games will cease to exist.

Last time they tried to push Google fiber the cable companies blocked them. Without sinking serious dosh into congress, I don't see it happening.

Unless there's major federal legislation pushed to assist them and stop the anticompetitive local and state level laws isps have lobbied for for decades, Google fiber won't ever make any more real progress. They'll just keep facing an endless stream of lawsuits.

stop being so pessimistic, yeah dude things change.
>Physical, locally executed games will cease to exist.
just because they stop making them doesn't mean they cease to exist you retard. you think I won't be able to plug my gamecube into a CRT in 10 years?

Hope you have a hidden bunker prepared for when they decree all CRTs and circuits older than 20 years must be destroyed to save the environment.

>you think I won't be able to plug my gamecube into a CRT in 10 years?

What the fuck does that have anything to do with new consoles and games 10-20 years from now?

That controller looks atrocious.

As someone who lives in Montana USA in the middle of "Oh! Wow! 4G is FAST!"-ville I am less than enthusiastic about a GaaS model. I pay by the GB still. Unless there are some serious infrastructure changes in this area no one is going to be particularly warm to the idea.

If Google wants to get me onboard, bring me that phat fibre.

Its not defeatist to point out its an issue that should be pushed back against. That's actually the exact opposite of defeatist.

good thing those redneck-areas are sparsely populated, ignoring them isn't a meaningful loss.

ok buddy. how about the extremism? go back and read your original post that I replied to, you sound like nostradamus. Perhaps it's just the way you communicate; communicating in absolutes makes you seem smarter, no?

Way better off trying to lay fiber to every community in the US than starting a streaming service for games. At least you could then add that to the Fiber service package and people would be happy to jump at it.

This is one of those things that Actual Boomers will get for there grand-kids cause "They like that gaming and netflix things so this is the best of both!"

Not that guy, but I played it as well. There was no input lag but the resolution would drop to an almost non-visible blur when I hit network issues.

I can't wait for normalfags to eat this shit up and ruin another industry's image quality standards. All they have to do is say "it's streaming you 4K!" and retards won't bother to notice the terrible bitrate and bastardized image their getting from compression.

And why would video games developers agree to put their games on this service, exaxtly? Especially when they can sell a copy to you for 60 bucks instead of letting Google grab all the money?

yeah except now that Netflix made millions they no longer buy outside things and want everything developed in house so they can shill you whatever they want and not pay outside people anything. it's why Netflix produced everything on Netflix is taking over

And it's going to be decimated by Microsoft who are doing the same thing this year. Amazon has no gaming background or userbase to tap in to and it'll be a colossal challenge to get people to stop using products from the big 3 and use their service instead.
