When Google announced Stadia, some media suggested that you could game on the go on your I pad. A possible challenge to Nintendo- well provided you had tonnes of data that is.
Having now spent time with Stadia I can confirm that the big N can sleep easily!
It is a decent concept and no doubt it will be tried by others but frankly it’s a disastrous launch.
The launch games are dull. Almost embarrassingly old. This is a launch line up!
You couldn’t play Stadia on the go- not a chance.
But at home... firstly I decided to try it the good old fashioned way- wired!
It works. It’s okay. The graphics are nothing to shout about but it works okay.
I wasn’t mesmerised but there was hope.
Then I moved onto wireless connection. Oh dear me. I get a consistent 50 meg download speed so I thought it would probably run quite well.
Stadia started up nicely. But then it got to the gaming. There is more lag than you get in a prison cell! The graphics are jarred and it makes Witcher on Switch look like the smoothest graphics you have ever seen!
Stadia was always going to be a gamble especially in the UK where wireless still isn’t up to scratch but there is just so much wrong with it.
The launch and hype was pretty much non existent and the gaming experience is just not good enough.
Google are pushing it with the tag line ‘grew console gaming that takes up no space.’
It somehow has still managed to end up being a waste of space.
I would like to invite you to the already existing Google Stadia forum topic.

Thank you for this news update, respected gaming journalist "jarvismp". Thanks to you, my totally normal and rational fear that a PC streaming service would kill a console/handheld hybrid system has been immensely alleviated!
"There is more lag than you get in a prison cell!" ...why do you know this?
