Stadia

I don't understand people that praise it for being able to go to your pc to your console to your tablet to your phone. Any game that supports all those is going to be garbage when played on better platforms.

Do you take a cake you are baking out of the oven and put it in the microwave?

>excited for Google STD

Don't give a shit because I have no reason to.

It wont replace my PS4 or Switch because the exlcusives I play on those wont be available on STD.
It wont replace my PC because I play a lot of mods and quite frankly, I need to tamper with my shit.

And last but not least
>20GB/hr
My internet connection is mediocre but sufficient. I'm not upgrading to play games I can play already.

It's actually a genius move for killing Windows. It won't last because streaming games is inherently a shit idea - but it'll last long enough (a year or two) due to google's hubris. So why should we be hyped for this? Because any game developed for Stadia will be developed using Vulkan first. Games that use Vulkan are SUPER easy to get running on Linux (and in fact all Stadia instances run Linux). That means all future games that take advantage of Stadia, or are designed to maybe ONE DAY be on Stadia, will run just the same on Linux as they would on a Windows box. Steam Proton runs these kinds of games flawlessly, as do several other solutions out there.

Long term this will hugely increase the marketshare of Vulkan-first games.

I prefer the black Switch controller with the offset sticks.

>20 GB an hour
For 1080p, maybe. 4K isn't going to be less than 80 GB an hour

>Pretends Linux is relevant

You guys have been at it for so long, why do you go on pretending Linux will ever be important?

This isn't the netflix of gaming. This is the Youtube of gaming, with all the capability and baggage that implies. And it WILL be successful, google will shill this everywhere because they control the browser and they have the resources to make it work (eventually). And normies will eat this shit up because suddenly all you need to game at 60fps 4k is a chromebook and a good internet connection.
This is the worst thing to happen to gaming, EVER. Here's the list of things this is going to kill.

>Downloading games.
>Consoles.
>Games that don't use more system resources than anyone can afford.
>Gaming PC hardware, and with it, affordable powerful CPUs and GPUs for consumers.
>Possibly even x86 architecture in consumer computers as a result.
>Flash/browser games, which this thing is coming out NOW in order to replace.
>Games that last longer than the developer/publisher wants them to.
>Games that don't have to follow some vague yet strongly enforced "community guidelines".
>Games that run on hardware you can buy.
>The idea that games could be something you own.
>T and M rated online interactions in T and M rated multiplayer games.

If Stadia succeeds gaming is fucking dead.

It will be a good option to get games i don't want to pay for, if pirating is not an option.

Streaming will not replace native gaming for another 10 years at least, though.

*dabs and installs more involuntary spyware updates*

I don't actually hate it like most people do here. If they could deliver it the way it's advertised, it could end up mildly interesting. Yet at the same time, I do not really care about it. I don't play games on my phone, have no problems connecting my PC to a TV if I wanted to and can play whatever games I want on my PC (for free btw).
I just don't really see the point behind it. Phone players or whatever won't really care, because the games will be to complex, people who play games won't care, due to input lag and because they already own a capable setup to play games.
Maybe, at most, children will use the service.

Linux gaming has had made huge strides just in the past 2 years. A lot of people on Yea Forums are folks that use Linux for everything else including work. Most keep a windows partition LITERALLY only for videogames - with this out of the way there'll be no reason to waste any space on a Windows partition.

T-t-thanks

Its not hardware based so the performance is going to be the same on all platforms the only change is the screen/monitor.

This is literally the death knell for the medium and I hope to god people aren't retarded enough to support it

Can't play latency sensitive or competitive games with that lag
Can't play music/timing based games
Can't play VR games
Can't play anything exclusive to windows
Real time compression ruins image quality
No modding and customiztion

You're already able to stream in home to different devices with Nvidia and Steam solutions. They'll fall behind the hardware curve ultimately because first of all good hardware is expensive and a big premium when it comes out, and most normies who represent their target customers (plebs who don't understand what latency and frame rate is) will drive the decisions much like they do with consoles, so you'll end up with 30fps games based on old hardware and old technology the same way the console life cycle suffers from this. It'll be one giant experiment in lowest common denominator development.

And how about the controls there buddy?

>cloud gaming
Jesus Christ companies are still trying this despite every previous attempt being a dumpster fire. It will never be good. Just stop.

What's the source on this 20GB an hour claim? That sounds so ludicrous I can't just take it at face value.

>Just stop.
Why would they stop trying to do something that would give them complete control over the market?

I have significant concerns about who will be paying for serverbox usage, and bandwidth.

My gut tells me it gets punted to the devs, via backend. This will negatively impact game design and monetization strategies via necessity.

His ass

Year after year, video games continue to try and push me further away.

wtf i love stadia now?!

Sounds like they're doing us a favor since you seem like a total fag.

Yeah what a horrible service ... you don't have to pay for or use at all

And what exactly is the benefit for me to switch away from playing on PC, PS4, and Switch? I’d rather know I can play a game reliably than put my money, faith, and data in Google’s hands. Sounds shitty compared to traditional gaming mediums. Between them and Epic Games, it’s like there’s a push to just completely shit on the gaming hobby.
Fuck Epic Games and fuck Google’s what I say.

Wow, why are you so afraid of the future? Are you a nazi or something?

I literally know one person who uses Linux, and he's a self important stoner code monkey who is also a virgin.

>who is also a virgin.
oh shit installing w10 now

You'll be smashing all the puss in no time. I can guarantee you this.

it will probably be lackluster compared to the real thing
but they'll hit it out of the park with the casual audience

Buckaroo, we don’t even know how much input lag we’ll have yet, calm your tits
