So-so

While I give Stadia some benefit of the doubt, I don't think it's a good idea to release two highly competitive and reflex-demanding fighting games as launch titles on a service with unavoidable input lag.

For those never played any of those 12 titles happy Christmas

Damn, no Gmail 2?

Well, in two years from now Google is gonna end project Stadia, it will be another failed project.

No Skyrim?
Bethesda are you sleeping?

 

[SuperDan]

Good Starter I Guess ...

No not a good idea Everyone has pld tht game at least twice

 

[Lostbhoy]

What about Mario Kart Tour and Subway Surfers?

 

[Crimsonflare]

No consistent RPG... Nah, I'll pass

 

[DeoNaught]

Tbh looks like all the games in a humble bundle...

Gylt looks interesting I guess

 

[DANTENDO]

No consistent RPG... Nah, I'll pass

While playing the tomb raider games roll a dice whether to go all guns blazing or stealth kill an enemy

Just Dance 2020? I'm sold.

Man, Samurai Shodown and MK11 are going to be a shit show. Why did they even think that was a good idea? Only good thing to come out of this is that they are linux ports.

Until bandwidth caps are ruled as unconstitutional in the US, including Comcast's current plans allowing for unlimited data for no additional fee, I have zero interest. Sorry, not sorry.

Just Dance 2020? I'm sold.

Forget MK/SS, this is the real latency test.

 

[ChibiMofo]

The future of gaming has arrived. You'll see.

And if Red Dead Redemption 2 is playable (as I suspect it will be given Google's resources), that alone will be worth the fee. But I'll always prefer physical releases since they are so easy to pirate.

 

[teamlocust]

Pointless exercise by Google. Btw who is gonna pay for the bandwidth?

 

[eriol33]

Quite an interesting ambition, but I really doubt it will last unless they can fix that latency. I remember reading an article about streaming games few years ago that the developers tried to reduce latency by making the client processed some of the graphical processing. I wonder why that design is not implemented.
