Topic: Google Stadia

Not to put all the blame off Google for their misleading advertising, but I do wonder if some devs. are purposely downgrading their graphics on Stadia, so it can make the eventual next gen. remasters of these games look all the more impressive. I imagine that Stadia users will have to pay for these remasters either separately or as a paid add-on to the existing game.

It's crazy how much people have to say about something they aren't interested in lol. I ordered a Premier edition today. Needed to upgrade the wifi in the house and needed another Chromecast anyway. Basically getting it free with BF discount! Look forward to trying it in full next week!!

@redd214 It's like the people who tell me I shouldn't enjoy a fifa game. They have no interest in playing it themselves but im wrong for enjoying it. Exact same with Stadia. If you've no interest in it, fine. Im enjoying it though.

I have played it and can honestly say it does have some good ideas. But the way they have handled the launch and got a line up of games that is uninspiring is odd for Google. With X box 2 and PS5 coming next year, this was a chance to have a great launch in the run up to Xmas.
I won’t give up on it yet - hell it took he long enough to give up on the Wii U, but it all feels messy and rushed.
I just can’t see many devs bothering with AAA games when they have dev kits for the next generation.

Goggle Stadia has NO games at all for me after i have researched from Google. 😒

Their games were just bunch of rated 18 games from PC / Xbox One / PS4, typical male games only (fifa, shooting, realistic racing, Dragon Ball, Western superheroes), NO girlie / Casual games like on Nintendo at all.

Sorry but Nintendo always win my heart with their appetizing games library as ever.

The problem for me is that Google have history of shutting down services. It is very risky to purchase multiple 60€ games, if they decide to shut down Stadia. And Microsofts xcloud seems better option tbh.

It’s a dead horse being flogged

I feel like someone should've just told them "This is a really competitive industry. If you wanna be successful, you're gonna need a really good product. And probably like 5 AAA exclusives to launch with."

@Justifier

All companies shut down services that aren't successful and losing them money.

The thing about Google is that they're the only one of the big tech giants who regularly have these kind of half-assed ideas that they just brain fart onto the market. Amazon wouldn't do something like this until they had a much more competitive product.

Anyone got a picture of stadia

@Ninfan

Been using it all day today and it works just as advertised. Minimal/unnoticeable lag and picture quality is indistinguishable from the ps4. Granted I have very very fast internet and I live right in the middle of the data center/server capital of the world, literally. Definitely lots of links to iron out but works very well from my experience so far

@redd214 games sound great for stadia ( like tomb raider). But is that the way it works I pay for the game but its not mine to keep.

@Ninfan this has been answered for you before bud

The Chrome Cast is tiny. Much smaller than my Apple TV.

Where is that?

@Dezzy did you buy stadia

@Ninfan
I i were you, i will not consider Stadia.
Streaming only games = Big No No for me.

@Anti-Matter I don't believe that they only stream the games . You must be able to keep them. No one will buy it if it's only streaming and I mean no one.

@Ninfan Well, it actually IS only streaming, and you don't have to buy some box to install games on. What you buy with Stadia, is buying access to an external server that your games will be installed and collected on, but you won't have any kind of console in your home. Stadia is not a device, it's a service.
