Google Stadia launch lineup revealed (12 titles)
- Thread starter Biosnake
- Start date
When you buy a console you get a commitment of 5 to 7 years of top end releases and exclusive1st party content.
Unless that console is the WII U, Nintendo.
This is early access and a console mentality. It is not as important to have a killer app to convince you to buy any hardware.
Don't know about all of them but Destiny 2 is confirmed to not have crossplay with Steam.
tbh it's not like most consoles have had mind blowing launch lineups. but at least there's a few new, good games. most of these 12 games are good but also they're... kinda old news.
here you just have gylt (an INSIDE/little nightmares looking indie game) as a launch exclusive.
3DS' launch list:
- Nintendogs + Cats
- Pilotwings Resort.
- Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.
- Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition.
- The Sims 3.
- Asphalt 3D.
I think a lot of games can be played over streaming just fine because you can adjust to lag and lag spikes won't kill you. But Thumper? I can't imagine how furious I'd be if I was on my way to a perfect track and then hitting a lag spike because my wife decided to check the baby monitor.
Will be very interested to hear impressions of GYLT. Compression artifacts from the streaming would absolutely destroy a game that has as much darkness as that
I know you guys hate this service but I hope they stay in the market and keep money hatting new projects. More money = more games. More games = more publishers who have more money to make more games. For the first time in the industry we really got two big publishers in THQ and Bethesda, a new manufacturer/distributor in google, and a new store front with EGS.
we are in an unprecedented age in gaming

Switch launch had pretty much only BOTW and it was available on the previous console as well. I'd say that.
I'm pretty sure there's more to that. I at least remember the cool tactical RPG Ghost Recon.
bruh definitely not
it launched with Fast RMX and Snipperclips too, three great new games (with a GOTG amongst them)
we all know they are revealing this the week before launch because they waited until they got their $130 Stadia preorders and started charging to ship them to reveal they finessed people. All their talk of deals with Ubi and Square and this is what their paid users get.
Samurai Shodown is currently seemingly exclusive to Stadia as far as PC goes. The hypocrisy amuses me.
it's clearly a list of titles meant for beta testing and data collection. you've got your MMO, your AAA, your online latency test (MK), your offline latency test (Thumper), your 1 exclusive, and your old shit to entice other publishers to port their old shit once the data comes in.
There's still time for everyone to cancel if they want. Nothing has shipped so far.
Except they are not if you were not a PC or console gamer, the test will be if these games get sales to that market.
Stadia isn't PC. It's it's own platform. This isn't 'the PC version'.
Arguably even worse. Nobody remembers for the first year of XBO and PS4 we literally were being given a slew of re-releases. Almost entirely 3rd party.
That has nothing to do with what I said though. For consoles, you have to have a good launch lineup to spend ~$400 day one for the hardware alone. Stadia doesn't have that kind of upfront investment so no need to worry about launch lineup. Just buy the games you want to play whenever you want to play them.
Breath of the Wild proved to be a killer app people were willing to buy new consoles for.
They just weren't willing to buy old consoles for it 😏
Me neither.
For a new platform, this is a weird launch of old hand me downs, and a couple new games. I don't see any appeal.
All games on Stadia whether Stadia Pro or the free version are 60fps according to Google (4K/60 for Stadia Pro, 1080/60 for Stadia free, scales down to 720p/60 if you connection doesn't have the bandwidth for 1080/60). I would assume you essentially need the games running at least 60fps to make streaming truly viable.
I've seen bootleg consoles with better lineups. Well maybe this is for the best, they can take older games with known performance metrics and compare them to Stadia's streaming performance. Don't want some fancy new game releasing at the same time as the console and souring the experience if they have not worked out the kinks yet for primetime. It's a reach, I admit.
Completely agree that PS4 launch lineup wasn't any better but it only had to compete with Xbox one launch lineup. They have to prove they can nail those games at 4k/60 ultra to calm the doubters. I am interested in Stadia but they have to knock it out of the park. They obviously still can but as has already been said I own most of those games already.
Then no on will play this version straight up. I doubt it will also be the version that in the future has cross play with console. That will be the steam version.
Stadia's definitely going the route of "proof of concept" games rather than actual killer apps, hoping that Stadia itself will be the killer app.
I do not see this going well.
