Google Stadia

It was only a matter of time before Google got their teeth into gaming. Stadia will be a streaming gaming platform that is promising 4k gaming at 60fps across a variety of platforms with no lag. Whether that can be delivered is anybody's guess.

I'm sure Sony and Microsoft were hoping that Google would have waited to bring this out until after the PS5 and Xbox2. Streaming based gaming was always going to come sooner or later and doom consoles.

Can't see it working on a mass-scale, internet connection quality and stability is so varied, especially in the USA where everything is so spread out and ISPs have less competition.

Most people will be connecting via WIFI which is sketchy at the best of times, regardless of your internet speed.

If you're willing to invest in a fast internet connection you're probably also willing to buy a console or gaming PC.

What will it cost? Either a "premium fee" or you'll be interrupted in a zombie shootout to watch an ad for grammarly.

I'm sure Google is counting on 5G to proliferate over the next few years as an alternative to wired ISPs.

Infrastructure not being in place at this time aside, this is definitely the way gaming is going whether we like it or not.

Stadia will launch in November. For the first few months—at least until 2020—you’ll only be able to access Stadia if you or a friend invest in the $130 Founders Edition. After that, anyone will be able to access Stadia. There will be a store where you purchase games.

The Stadia Founder’s Edition will launch later this year for $130. It comes with a Chromecast Ultra, a Stadia controller, a copy of Destiny 2 (along with the new Shadowkeep expansion), and a three-month subscription along with a three-month buddy pass.

You can play in a Chrome browser, on your TV via Chromecast Ultra, or on the Pixel 3 or Pixel 3a (Google expects to support more devices in the future). There will be two kinds of Stadia subscriptions: A free Base subscription, or a $10 a month Stadia Pro subscription. The Base subscription will let you buy and keep any game in the store and let you play games at a resolution of 1080p at 60 frames per second. Pony up $10 a month for Stadia Pro, and you’ll get an experience similar to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Gold. That means heavily discounted games, and a few free games each month. The free games will stay on your account as long as you subscribe to Stadia Pro. You’ll lose access to the free games if you move to the Base subscription, but then get them back should you ever resubscribe to Stadia Pro. Subscribing to Stadia Pro also means you can play at 4K, 60fps, with HDR and 5.1 surround sound if your network can support it.

Reviews so far have been less than glowing. Most users experiencing significant input lag, 1080/30 max resolution so far, games cost full price even though they are old, etc. Google decided to get into the "ship it half-baked" gaming industry too, I guess.

It can be done (as Sony proved) but it needs commitment. Not sure why anyone with an Xbox or PlayStation would want this (whereas the Switch was appealing for portability and exclusive games).

Gave this a try yesterday with the free 2 month Pro trial.

Actually impressed by how well it works, very easy to get running in a browser on my macbook, and the visual quality was really crisp. no blotchy pixellation that I've had when streaming games on other platforms in the past, and no noticeable input lag. was really just like playing the game locally on my computer.

Not a great range of games to choose from and the ones you need to pay for are pretty pricey, but I was pleasantly surprised and will be keeping an eye on how this develops.
