Cool. So we're going to compare passive and interactive media types. By this logic we should be all streaming now. I mean people can watch 4K films through streaming right? Low latency interaction with a game is no different right?
I don't think it's reluctance in the future. It's that the old dogs have seen this song and dance before with regard to other tech promises.
We aren't just talking about changes or the inevitable future. We're talking about the logistics, infrastructure, and even politics that it takes to ensure something like this is viable. Data caps are a thing. The FCC wiped its ass with Net Neutrality and set it on fire. These things must be resolved before we can consider an all streaming future.
I guess the thing they did was give Greg Miller a little somethin somethin
Clearly with no price, date, minimum requirements, info on avoid data caps and slow home internet Google has nothing literally nothing but talk
Google can't break laws of physics so there will ALWAYS be lag
The Stadia.com page just redirects me to the Google Store (Portugal).
Let me fucking guess, another limited release for no bloody reason like the damn Pixels? Which, you still can't buy here from Google. Only by 3rd party retailers, with quite some inflation to their price thanks to that. Literally the only tech giant that still does that here.

I don't even think exclusives are the issue, if the service works as intended it will be an absolute gamechanger. I have really high doubts it will though.
Is Greg drunk again?

I live in Brazil. I have the whole country as a barrier.
Sure, I'm interested in that. Its just odd they didn't show it in action here too. If it runs really well then it will be awesome. Plus the pricing! How does it work?
They'll buy GTA on the console they already own. It's not like GTA is going to be exclusive.
lol....why
Next GTA will be on next-gen consoles.
Many people will choose against cheaper streaming options or buying a new 400 dollar box next gen.
This conference was like "Look at all these hypothetically awesome things we're going to be able to do"
And then left is as one big hypothetical. This just feels overly-ambitious without any reason to believe that they can currently achieve any of the goals they showed at this presentation. So many comments like "developers will be given the chance to do this and that with their games". But without any developers having actually applied any of these features yet. It just feels like this was announced too early, and they're at major risk of delivering a flop when they actually start applying these concepts to real-world situations and discovering they over-advertised what they can actually do.

There was lag clear as day when they demoed it. Like very noticeable input lag.
I'm interested. But I will have to see the details (connection details, price, available games) to see if it's worth getting. Idea has promise.
That is the most likely answer. I've no issue with folks pointing out that things changed. Just not a fan of kneejerk cries of "fake news", especially from members of the press that should know better.
My company wants to launch a streaming product in Brazil and they're going to half to cut the bitrate to 1/4 of what it is in the US in order to make it work with current infrastructure...
Youtubers are basically the main form of marketing for a lot of game developers, so it is definitely relevant to them.
About what I expected (well a bit less if I'm honest, thought they'd have pricing and maybe 1 1st party studio to talk about), not much actual info to be excited for, but cool tech. Game Streaming is still a ways away from being the main way people play games.
Yeah I was about to say? How they gonna monetize? Ads? If thats the case this will be really popular in developing countries.
Chances are they will later. Buzzwords and promises are the lifeblood of tech conferences
The only use case for this that wouldn't drive me insane would be playing turn-based games like Civ on the go... Which I can already do on several other services.
They promised a lot of stuff to developers, but at the end of the day devs have to actually make these games and I'm not sure why they would choose Google over any other platform/publisher where they can already make really good games.

You will be able to play games at the resolution of a postage stamp!
Doesn't matter if it was GDC or not. It was the reveal.
Stop with the nonsense.
Yall dunked on Xbox One the same way when it was TV time. Even if it wasn't E3 or a GDC.. IT WAS THE REVEAL
