will Stadia change gaming?
Just curious.
So the idea is all you will need is a controller and a screen, no more buying a new console every couple years, no game discs, no download wait times, no updates, just turn on and go.
What do you think, will it take off? will it change gaming?

Doubt it. Streaming games isn't worth it unless you have really fast internet. If we had better internet infrastructure, then Stadia would be a game changer. But as of now, probably not.

No the idea is robbing you of property rights to get you to pay even more money, everything else was just a cloak for the wolf to wear.

Edited by Uncanny_Vale: 10/11/2019 5:21:00 AMI think streaming games is the future. At some point it will make consoles obsolete. I think it’s a good idea but the thing holding it back now is the lack of reliable networks and slow internet speeds.

2 RepliesIdk, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being another Ouya.

2 RepliesWe will be watching its career with great interest

2 RepliesYes, you would become its slave. 🦶🦶🦶

It’s a huge maybe The whole idea of cloud based computing has always been around, where things are computed at a private server and data is sent back to the user. I think the main problem with stadia is the fact that it runs entirely off of the internet, where if your internet lags in the slightest, the whole gaming experience could be ruined. Latency is just too big of an issue. However, a good thing that has come from stadia is the idea that games can be left on one device, and picked back up instantly on another device. Other than that, Stadia seems like it won’t have as big of an impact as it should.

One of the big problems that it could have would be staying connected to the internet 24/7. If your internet service provider is scummy, then no games for you. I heard that cloud gaming was done before but failed miserably.

I think it should, but won’t. There’s still a surprisingly large group of people who are clinging to physical media and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Best they (and Microsoft’s new project) can hope for is to be profitable enough to stay afloat long enough for people to let go of disks. Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see it being an immediate game changer.

7 RepliesCan it perform as promised under the right circumstances? Probably. Will it perform as promised for consumers with less than adequate connection speeds? Not likely.
-
Eh. It probably won’t have Nintendo exclusives so I probably won’t buy it

4 RepliesI think it will take the first step on making the new road. But soon others will cut in front of them, Xbox is already catching up.

Will it? Don't know. Can it? Hell yes. Which is why you have lots of people who are clearly rooting for it to fail. Google has the know how and the resources to make something like this work. The only issue is whether or no the internet infrastructure is advanced enough to support it.....and whether Google "flakes out" on this, as they tend to do at times. If you live in or near large cities in the US, you'll have access to internet access fast enough to provide a very good experience if Google's claims hold up....and those who have hands-on experience with it . But if you live in more rural areas here in the US, access and speeds can get a bit sketchy.

Only in terms of influence. Stadia is like the NES, but for gaming streaming. On its own merits? Rubbish. But necessary and POWERFUL in terms of the influence, and how it will push other companies moving forward.
