>Netflix for games
There is no desirable interpretation of this statement, but surely they aren't so retarded as to actually be attempting game streaming again.

>impossible to pirate
It's over for pirate scum

Based google bringing even more dead weight plastic hardware into people's homes.
I'm not getting anywhere close to anything that has to do with streaming. Fuck microsoft and fuck google

Dear fuck when did innovation in the game industry go from the gameplay to how best to jew the customers? This last decade's "innovation" has been nothing but fucking rehashes of different genres into "new ones" like battle royale and mobas whilst stores compete on how best to hold these shitty games hostage

Fuck sony and fuck nintendo

Sony already tried this with PSnow and it fucking failed.
Damn retarded execs are just greedy and don't know shit about the gaming industry. It'll fail than they'll lose tons of money.

They did a tech demo a while back with Assassins Creed Odyssey streaming to browsers from remote GNU/Linux systems using Wine + DXVK on Ryzen/Vega (RadV driver) systems. By all reports it worked really well in the test markets.

>trusting tech journos
It probably ran at 20fps and they couldn't notice

>inb4 they're just testing the waters with this announcement

I too, do not wish to own any sort of media.

So shit that won't function even remotely usable outside of Silicon Valley.

Firstly I'm glad I'm not American because I don't have to put up with a hundred years of shit Internet thanks to monopolies and secondly because of said monopolies "Games as a service" is completely unrealistic based on current infrastructure (and it sure as shit work won't in second/third world places like China)

Bitch they'll be attempting video game netflix until the end of time.

They are going to charge $20 per month so you can stream AAA games from 5+ years ago

This is the future

I hate google more than any other company in the world.

I'm fine with this. I recently got EA's Premier Basic for 4 bucks, played and finished over a dozen games in a month, and unsubbed. It was great value, I don't like to replay games anyways, and completing the campaigns was more than enough to satisfy me.

subscription is apparently between 7.99 to 12.99 monthly

Murican internet really is retarded I live in Massachusetts and there's still people in the western part of the state with dial-up

It wasn't journalist only, but it was something you had to sign up for.

Streaming games is inherently anticonsumer, do not fall for it.

Shoo shoo shill

This doesn't show the huge fold in the middle of the screen

So are games that require kernel level DRM, or single-platform APIs, or non-standard hardware features.
Yet even most people here don't seem to give a shit about that.

Which is why these streaming services are going to succeed. Why buy your kid a $300 box that requires you to give up your TV when for a low monthly fee he can just stream the game of the month right to his phone?

With how fast internet is getting, streaming games will be very proconsumer, lowering the bar for playing new games to simply having internet access and not all the huge hardware investment you need to have today. 5-10$ to directly stream new games to your TV will entice a lot of people to not pay 400-500$ for new consoles.

SAVE US GABE

>meme-transforming phone with half the screen unusable for good chunks of time, leading to unequal OLED burnout for the two halfs.
>But just making a single new luxury QWERTY slider every few years is out of the question.
Phone makers are stupid.

It's a good thing to improve streaming technology. But it's also going to be a complete failure as a big part of console success is tied to physical sales.

Reminder that OnLive “tested really well” before it was released to the public. If Google tries to promise lightning fast streaming services but the average layman who doesn’t get that his internet is shit complains, this service will crash and burn.

PSNow is a joke till this day. Has input lags that are unbareable.
Google's subscription is way superior and cheaper.

Fast internet speeds will do jack shit in reducing the massive delays in input. Enjoy dying every time to anyone running the game locally

>he didn't watch the video before responding to it

>So are games that require kernel level DRM, or single-platform APIs, or non-standard hardware features.
100% correct.

what's there to watch besides him bitching about the pricing or charge per hour?
You pay monthly or yearly with google most likely.

Because there will be so many subscription services that paying 300 dollars once makes more sense than paying 100 dollars a month.
Movies can make their money from theatrical releases and then go to netflix for extra money. Games can't do this. Every publisher is going to have to have their own streaming service if they want to make money, a single third-party streaming service is not going to pay enough to make any money.

I hope you guys have built a sizeable backlog or are in the process of building one. I'd say you have between 5-10 years before it's not longer an option.

He's criticising the concept of streaming games, not just PSNow pricing.

>OnLive 2.0

The screens are also plastic so enjoy 2 scratched screens

What did in OnLive was the fact it was dependent on Windows servers and Nvidia hardware. They got killed by rent seeking over OSes and drivers that weren't licensed for server virtualization.
That's why the software stack Google is using for this, the same thing Valve has branded Proton is such a big deal. Its all open, there's no one who can come trying to get more money out of them.
The conspiracy minded believe this is what Valve's Linux initiative has been about from the start.

Google is actually big enough that they can go to every city and town in the US and drop off shipping containers full of servers at the local node so that its only the last mile of network that matters.

Literally nothing about that title sounds good.

I've got 250 hours worth of persona games to play and that's only 3 games
As long as my consoles don't die ill be ok

PlayStation already did that though

None of the publishers want to put the legwork in on building and maintaining a hardware/software platform that doesn't leave them open to legal attack, or can cover the up-front costs of rolling out servers all over the place to handle the latency.

Google already does that kind of stuff.

>With how fast internet is getting, streaming games will be very proconsumer
Throughput has no effect on latency. And if they contribute to the bandwidth load at peak time that other video streaming services are already causing, the throughput will likely run out and cause massive latency spikes.
Especially considering americas ISP landscape where there is zero pressure to upgrade. They will just divide up your connection into a 'gaming mode' now that net neutrality is dead.
They tried this shit for years when the phone laws were being stretched to the breaking point covering the new 'internet'. Its why NN was necessary. Pic related.

But you've got remakes made to milk you out of your nostalgia shekels, dear customer. What's not to like?

Could be alright if you could download the games in addition to streaming them. Most people only buy one or two games a year, so this could be okay for normies.

what he fears will never stop normies using it and normies do not play competitively at all
casual games like odyssey fit perfectly in there
physical is so dead right now I do not see it lasting at all in the next 5 years

But would the service make enough money to pay for the 200 million dollar AAA game that gets released every other month?

>stream games to my new phone?

enjoy your network and touchscreen lag

I mean, they have to learn one day right? It's not like the laws of physics are suddenly going to change.
It doesn't work.
It cannot work.
Certainly not with modern technology.

I don't care about physical, but I do want direct access to the game's files. Once games go exclusively streaming, that will no longer be an option. Say good bye to modding, backups, and piracy.

Why would anyone want to give this censoring pile of shit company money? How do they expect this to work? Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo sure as hell arent giving over their exclusives. AAA devs are going ti laugh their sorry liberal asses out of the conference room when they want to charge 20-30 for a brand new title. I dont know how google made it as far as they did with all their shit ideas.

The choice isn't physical vs streaming. It's local vs streaming, be it in the form of a physical disc or cartridge or a locally installed game on steam.
Also, the people complaining about input lag and how it will deter normies are forgetting how normies are loving input lag shit like RDR2. They really won't care a bit about input lag.

>Say good bye to modding, backups, and piracy.
modding will get hit for sure
but piracy and backups is whatever for gaming for me atleast
everything I wanted to play had a demo or multiple other sources to review it
piracy in everything else will still thrive as before

>I dont know how google made it as far as they did with all their shit ideas.
They make so much money with their search engine and ads that it really doesnt matter whatever else they do.
They have been playing 'catchup' with basically everything online and failing. Now its gamings time.

>learning

Companies really need to hire v/tards to tell them when the retarded shit they try to pull wont work

Why do they think it will work this time after it almost killed xbox
What do you think google has up their greasy sleeve?

Just when I think Apple does the most retarded phone "gimmicks", Android and misc phone devs come along to up the ante.

Fuck SNK and fuck NEC

Why is an aushwitz skeleton showing off a new phone

project stream was playable in a fucking browser
which is actually insane if you think about it
I played it for a while it didn't even crash for me like other once and I have only 20mbps. For those who experienced a crash it saved automatically their progress and could play right where they left off.
I don't know maybe google has better servers or some shit or overall better infrastructure but 1080p/60 was actually possible in a browser.

>Netflix for games
So it's going to have a bunch of shit no one wants?

This is my biggest gripe with these things. I'd gladly pay a subscription every month of $20-30 if I actually got to play NEW games.

This is the perfect "netflix for games"
>You actually download the game and mods don't conflict with the subscription check
>around 20 dollars
>NEW titles

You already don't own any of your games, plus theres numerous games that come out each year that I'd never buy all at full price, but I'd gladly spend $240 annually to play them.

wtf is this thing and how does it cost

So this is how videogames die

>This is the perfect "netflix for games"
It can't be perfect because it's inherently shit.

Xbox gamepass already does this.

And this is the kid of idiot that will kill them
We are really fucked this time huh
Time to go back into books

>can finally rent Infinity Blade for my home console
The future really is here...
Thanks Google.

google is getting out of hand

them trying to ruin youtube
them working with zog
them trying to ruin pewdiepie
now video games they have to die

somebody post that google wojak, i need to use it in another thread

gamepass is on the right track, but their library is too limited.

I doubt it. The amount of money comes in flooding into this will be to good to pass on by for publishers.

come this march during gdc stream on the 19th
plenty of google wojak will happen i'm sure

So a full fledged console experience

Society will collapse, don't worry

I live in the backwoods of Pennsylvania and have fiber optic with 150/150 so I'm not sure what the FUCK you're talking about faggot.

I dont want to live in a world where we no longer have access to the game files, all games will be lost forever once their service ends, when devs update them we will never be able to play the previous versions which might be better in many cases and there will not be any mods

There is zero chance Ill keep playing videogames if this comes to pass.
Games will be over

Huawei folding phone
That'll be $2200 please

It's essentially just paying less money for more. If you've bought any digital game you're already paying for a subscription to use it, why not just pay a flat fee for all of them?

>stream quality better than consoles

youtube.com/watch?v=IRK2WJRyR_8

Streamed games will never be responsive enough.

You are paying money for nothing, you get absolutely nothing, no control whatsoever, no way to preserve the games, no mods.
Its the death of the medium cant you see it

>I'm an outlier so everyone is

Fuck video games

So what'll be the first defect people mass report? Pronounced fold in the middle, uneven OLED burnout, cracked screen (The Original!), or the good ol' transformation into a Huawei bootlooping brick?

>when did innovation in the game industry go from the gameplay to how best to jew the customers?
When the influx of normies turned the industry from small and booming to a mass appeal monstrosity. More people, more money, less quality of life.

I agree with you but there is no way to fight against this. Hardly any games are DRM free unless you pirate everything. You already pay money for nothing since they can take it away at any moment, people have been paying for nothing for a decade now.

We need this because Google has a massive amount of funds and can push more vidya tech. This is a good thing, competition is never bad.

At least with current digital games you can rip the assets and modify it and the game is preserved forever since we have it

That's why I'm against streaming, I want the files ON my machine.

The screen is plastic so I'm guessing deep scratches will be prominent

>"Games as a service" is completely unrealistic based on current infrastructure
This. The US is just too damn big for a good internet infrastructure to ever work.

>no one else is in different circumstances

>the “muh laws of physics” niggers are in full force despite being NEET armchair CEOs without sources

nay sayers will get btfo once they play themselves in a trial or something
if google manages to output new titles along side with the current downloadeable games it's a no brainer
stream to any device you want into your browser
1080p/60 default
subscription between 8-13 usd per month and access to puchased and subscripted library that's big money right there
ubisoft jumped in with odyseey and they did the right thing

Impossible to pirate, impossible to mod, full control to the company running the service

nope, no thanks. even if it becomes the default standard for game sales, I'll never support it

It would also kill doujin/indie games, if people sto having computers in favor of streaming screens and only boring SJW approved content will be allowed to be streamed

Everything about this is horrible and a nightmare scenario

those "games" won't have a place on googles marketplace at all don't worry

Thats what I said only boring AAA trash with a feminist agenda will ever be made from then on

there are people that still use dial up and outside of america would be a nightmare

I personally can't wait to see what they will deliver in March.
Consoles bore me to death with that outdated hardware and performance.
Seeing how this Streaming service has already better perf and fps than any console on the market is a win - win.
Now add couple new top releases on there and multiplats and we are good to go.

yeah but they can still sell the old way
it's not like you going to be left out completely.. there are still plenty platforms around to publish those games on like Steam.
Google need to prove themselves first with actual strong collection of games and stable service after launch.

>dial up in 2019
jesus dude just quit internet completely
