Google - GDC 2019 Teaser

BumbleChump · Mar 18, 2019

If it's a full console, how would they even get exclusive software? Sega had that Genesis/Sonic bundle, Playstation had Sony's existing game developers as well as most big CD based games, Xbox had Halo. I'm wondering what Google's killer app would be for this thing.

people who complain about sucking have never had a good suck ;)

I've only had one good suck to completion in my life, and my god it was a suck to remember.

Well at least the controller looks better than that mockup sketch and render making the rounds. That thing looks uncomfortable as hell.

The idea of a controller that will connect to any device running the app is amazing if they pulled that off. Essentially makes it handheld if you need it to be too

Not sure how that would be anything unique. All streaming services will work the same way and likely support any controller if they have any sense. A Bluetooth controller is a.. Bluetooth controller.

The only unfortunate wrinkle in this is iOS support. I presume there'll be an iOS app for this service, but it'll be interesting to see if Google makes the controller mifi compatible.

That should ensure seamless compatibility across all devices, and for now perhaps the only service controller that does that.

Introducing the Google Schrödinger.

It's a play anywhere controller.

It's a chrome cast streaming device.

It's a traditional console.

It's Google.

RatskyWatsky · Mar 18, 2019

I swear to dog if their controller is just a variation of the Xbox controller (asymmetrical sticks, ABXY, etc) ...

I realize this is just based on the fact ttat Square/Crystal Dynamics are going to attend but if it was an exclusive in any way, even timed, I would buy it in an absolutely heartbeat. I want an Avengers game so bad

Picture was taken from the wrong side. It's clearly a '2' in the style of the Dreamcast opening red swirl.

It'll happen one day god damn it

Edit: Lol, wait... there's actually Dreamcasts there?

Detail?

I would think you still need a Dongle, to go along with a controller.

Dongle could be a Chromecast (bluetooth to the controller) and not necessarily a standalone device.

So I can jump to the end of a 100 hour game if the streamer is at the end?

Im not sure if I like that, but good with options I guess.

If it's just using Cast, it wouldn't need one, if the controller is the Wifi/main unit and there's nothing else needed.

Prediction: "GDC teaser" is actually a typo and they meant to type "GDC taser"

Attendees expecting games will be greeted by 50k volts to the face instead.

I bet for a many sistems retro games on stream, for sure

I really hope it isn't. The infrastructure is still way too weak (here in Germany e.g.) or capped.

If this is the case for Germany, I hate to think how it would perform in Malaysia lol. Not sure about the minimum requirements for a smooth experience to stream games. Here we can comfortably stream Netflix for example, but I'd wager its entirely different for games. Playstation Now isnt even available here, so its a tough to benchmark.

Yukinari · Mar 18, 2019

Is google implying that their cloud based device/console is going to be too ahead of its time like the dreamcast was?

Or that its gonna be a massive piece of shit like ET on Atari?

If Project Stream was any indication. Recommended settings were at least 10mbps minimum and 20-25mbps recommended

They had a lot of systems on display. Power Glove, Atari, Gameboy, Dreamcast, PS1, etc.

I could see the software being called google stream and the hardware device being dreamcast or a feature called dreamcast as a nod.

Just sounds like a bunch of marketing talk for Google to try to get involved in yet another industry only to steal your data and sell it.
