I pre-ordered last week. I'm looking forward to seeing if it can offer a viable replacement for third party games until the next consoles launch.
Also, since I have 952 hours spent on Destiny 2 (PS4) so far I'm interested in seeing what it's like at 60 fps.
They took it away? Like it's free money for them while you wait. That's silly.So disappointing that Google decided to cancel my order even though I live in one of two US locations they listed as not supporting...just realized they cancelled it back in June...
they could have at least shipped it out and say we don't officially support it yet or something...
was looking forward to Stadia. Now just going to wait and see how it plays out.

That is a great video.
The idea of rerouting the video feeds so that you have the rest of your team's screens as part of your HUD is such a great idea, and would be a huge step for co-op games like Overwatch or even Monster Hunter World.
This is the kind of vision and enthusiasm that I really wish they could get across in their actual promotion for Stadia.
(I would also like if they could do some actual promotion for Stadia. Every bit of hype I have comes from either the Reddit AMA or this video.)
Edit: To me, the big disconnect between their strategy and their promotion is the fact that Stadia's free tier is aimed at people who don't have consoles, but they're delivering Stadia's marketing through avenues that are designed for console gamers (GDC, E3, Connect videos). I'm not sure how they expect to reach the target demographic like this.
Depends on the country. It's already sold out and been replaced by the Premiere Edition in Europe (outside the UK).
You cannot put it in the cart anymore. :(

I have one in my cart right now though.
My perception is they're trying to make sure the service is passable for the core audience. The stage they're at right now is like an earlier adopter VR headset.
When it's a smooth experience (no intermittent maintainance, minimal network troubleshooting) they have an unfair advantage in reaching the audience they want. As they've said it's as simple as a link on a YouTube video.
I'm in Germany. It's sold out here unfortunately.
Ah that's too bad, but also interesting.
Stadia sauceExplain this to me, how can you encode a game to play more frames than it had first round?

then your 4k will be downsampled to 1440p most likely. Its video in the end, just like you can get the 4k youtube stream on a 1080p monitor for that extra crispness.Do we know how resolutions other than 1080p and 2160p will work? I have a 1440p monitor that I would like to use, but I have a 4K tv as a backup.
That's what I figured, but I didn't know if Stadia would be different for any reason and I hadn't seen it specifically mentioned. I'm curious to try things out later this year.then your 4k will be downsampled to 1440p most likely.

I have some money on my google play wallet. Can I use that to buy a game for stadia?
Honestly I'm pretty frustrated that it's October and I feel like I know about as much as I did in April about Stadia. The store, launch, online I feel like the communication is pretty bad on all of it right now.
I was thinking about getting the founders stuff last week but I feel like that's just a bad decision right now cause of the lack of communication.
This is what I've been saying for months, replace your gaming PCs with cloud gaming and keep your consoles for exclusivesI was a scoffer, but the more I think about having a service where I can play a game at max settings on any device in my house, or on the go is changing my mind. It's expensive as fuck to keep a high end PC with current parts, and the thought of being able to play a game without worrying about settings ever again is sexy af.
Yeah, I have to admit, I have a pretty decent internet connection & playing Cyberpunk on Stadia instead of my PS4 Pro is rather enticing.This is what I've been saying for months, replace your gaming PCs with cloud gaming and keep your consoles for exclusives

This is a good strategy, but it's also worth noting that most Xbox exclusives also come to PC. I'm currently using Shadow streaming to play Gears 5, for instance.This is what I've been saying for months, replace your gaming PCs with cloud gaming and keep your consoles for exclusives
As far as I've read there's no guarantee you'll be getting Max settings with Stadia? I've seen several people explain the videocard used is not scalable (or something like that) and FPS will be prioritized over quality, dropping quality to make sure FPS can be maintained.I was a scoffer, but the more I think about having a service where I can play a game at max settings on any device in my house, or on the go is changing my mind.

I think you can buy a Chromecast ethernet adapter.So right now there's no way to play this through an Ethernet cable? I have gigabit internet but I don't think this would stay consistent on wifi
Chromecast ultra has an Ethernet port built into the ac adapter
