Google gaming keynote | March 19th, San Francisco

[KoolAid]

Interesting. Games on here should be interesting according to insiders (doesn't mean anything from known franchises, just something that would be good)

 

[SuikerBrood]

Do we know for sure that this keynote will be about gaming?

To be fair, why else would Jason Schreier receive the invite?

Thanks.

 

[Windu]

is this part of GDC?

 

[cyress8]

Still waiting on that AC:O from Project Stream, Google.

 

[--R]

I think this is the most interesting thing about it.

 

[Deleted member 4761]

GBOX?
Hope they show something good.
But i have zero faith in Google.

 

[Cugel]

Gonna be some cloud box. If no, hard pass.

 

[Toumari]

Games as well as infrastructure.

 

[Kalentan]

Guessing some Google Original projects exclusive to their Streaming service?

 

[Reckheim]

oo, am excite. Them and amazon are basically the only companies capable of joining the industry.

 

[Rosur]

I think this is the most interesting thing about it.

Then it's probably googles cloud thing (that they had a beta for with AC earlier) going to a more general release and a more public announcement.

Well, you got my attention now... interesting times...

 

[Silky]

Algorithm based gaming

Fuck off Google

 

[Truant]

Exciting times. Would be hilarious if this left MS and Sony in the dust next generation, although that's probably not gonna happen.

 

[Opa-Opa]

Too far away.

But I don't expect too much. Not going to be a console or megaton, if it's only a part of an event.

 

[jon bones]

lets do it, the more players in the industry the better

 

[Anastasis]

Project Stream was a pleasant surprise. Should be interesting!

 

[Airbar]

Will be interesting to see which games / publishers they have partnerships with.
After the AC beta I fully expect them to offer some more Ubi games and maybe some EA as well?

 

[nightstalker962]

GDC is looking exciting.

 

[Nablith]

I wonder how much parallel we will see with the AAA market or if they will come out with more mid-tier offerings and ports.

I can't think of too many high profile studios that have been MIA long enough to come out swinging big for Google.

 

[Navid]

Maybe launching their own Epic Store equivalent with their own exclusive titles and incentives..?

 

[renegade_sylens]

Also, will this be live streamed?

 

[Weebos]

It would be an interesting time for another console to enter the market.

 

[Tempy]

Here's your streaming console. Everybody panic!

 

[byDoS]

This can be HUGE.

 

[Wulfer]

Times up!

 

[Resetti]

So it begins...

 

[Bony Manifesto]

is this part of GDC?

Click to shrink...

At the same venue as GDC and at the same time as GDC, so you'd imagine so.

 

[De-mon]

From Liam Robertson (now deleted).

Sitting here, looking at screenshots of unannounced Google console games and debating whether or not to release them. Don't really want to get copyright claimed to hell.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, they want to build a platform. So there'll be the delivery pipe (streaming I presume), a storefront, and their 'first party' and 'second party' games to attract and underpin the platform.

 

[James3D]

I hope it's about Daydream and VR.

 

[bagomagik]

I also got my free copy of Assassin's Creed Odyssey credited to my Uplay account today for participating in the trial of Project Stream. They must have timed it to coincide with this announcement.

 

[Reckheim]

holy shit.

'google console' games or 'google' console game

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Ok, you got my attention Google use it wisely.

I'm not really interested in streaming outside of PS Now due to old games but if they show worthwhile exclusives they'll have me..

 

[plié]

Cool! Will definitely be watching

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

I'm highly interested. I haven't gamed in about 5 years, but I'm looking into next generation to get back into it.

 

[carlsojo]

Scalebound a Google exclusive! You heard it here first.

[massoluk]

I'm very nervous about this one, hope it's not a repeat of Apple initiative

Huh. Not gonna lie, I'm definitely interested in hearing more.

 

[Darryl M R]

Google chrome streaming on my MacBook Pro. The future will be great for me.

 

[Deleted member 29857]

Googlebox 15TF machine for 199. They've bought Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft and Activision. The internet melts..

Spoiler

Really curious about their upcoming cloud gaming service. Hope they will announce newer versions of their mesh Wifi system too.

 

[Lunchbox]

The last thing I want/need is another gaming device and to fracture the community as a whole more, good luck Google.

 

[JINX]

 

[Tregard]

Is this to do with Project Yeti?

Hopefully this is a bit more of a drop in the bucket than Amazon's initiative has been thus far.

If there is a physical device, it'd be a streaming one. I can't imagine Google making a full blown console.
