No but it's rumored to be the same thing as stadia
No but it's rumored to be the same thing as stadia
everyone that's been talking about it, although if you buy your game on xcloud you will probably have an option to download it to your Xbox, that's just my guess on the download part
So how's that like Stadia? You get both a digital and streaming copy of the game, while you only get streaming for Stadia. Why would you get the Stadia version?everyone that's been talking about it, although if you buy your game on xcloud you will probably have an option to download it to your Xbox, that's just my guess on the download part
If you only use xcloud without a pc or Xbox then it's just like stadiaSo how's that like Stadia? You get both a digital and streaming copy of the game, while you only get streaming for Stadia. Why would you get the Stadia version?
Or a mobile phone that isn't a Pixel 3.If you only use xcloud without a pc or Xbox then it's just like stadia
Stadia comes to more phones next year

Some reasons people might would choose the stadia version
Stadia might be cheaper than xcloud
Stadia might be stronger than xcloud
Stadia might have less latency than xcloud
Yea they def win there, atleast in the short to medium termXcloud will have a significant advantage when it comes to game library due to Microsoft's first part offerings.
I hope that Stadia Base games having free online multiplayer put pressure on Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony to stop charging for that or offer a lot more substantial benefits with their subs.Some reasons people might would choose the stadia version

It appears online play is free with the base version going by what they showedI hope that Stadia Base games having free online multiplayer put pressure on Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony to stop charging for that or offer a lot more substantial benefits with their subs.
Yeah that's what I'm saying. That's actually a great positive of Stadia and I could see myself buying multiplayer games from the service. Especially since my fears of Stadia lacking game preservation don't matter at that point since an online game would be useless on any platform after the servers were shut off.It appears online play is free with the base version going by what they showed

being able to download it kinda defeats the purpose of streaming too, because if your able to download a game that means you already have the hardware needed to run it, so you would have no reason to stream itSo how's that like Stadia?

Wait till you see XCloud and the next Gen consoles maybe?Cancelled my preorder twice and reordered again yesterday, I'm so undecided on this...
Anyone that's pre-ordered. Do you choose your username at that point?
The buddy code does not ship until the service goes live for everybody in 2020So really if you know someone who is buying stadia at launch you can finangle the buddy code from them too and not have to buy anything to get your username I presume
At launch, if you're a Stadia user, you can play Stadia exclusively on Pixel 3 and 3a devices. However, you'll be able to create your account and make subscription and game purchases from any Android M+ or iOS 11+ device that has access to the Stadia app."
Google says it'll be one user per Stadia account, tied to your Google ID—you can have a guest account for splitscreen, but other than that, no sharing. (Update (2:43pm): A Google spokesperson reached out to say that family sharing is coming in the future.)
No, it's a new platform, nothing to do with pc or steam.So, the Stadia runs the PC version of games over the cloud? At what settings?
I know it's 4K at 60 FPS, but what about the rest?

Think of Stadia like a new next-gen game console. It has its own dev kit hardware, games have to be ported to it. The Assassin's Creed streaming demo for example was ported from the console code base, not PC (though it used higher quality textures and further draw distance and stuff). Stadia runs Linux and uses the Vulkan graphics library, as opposed to PC running Windows and using DirectX or OpenGL.So, the Stadia runs the PC version of games over the cloud? At what settings?
I know it's 4K at 60 FPS, but what about the rest?
though with Stadia they do have the option (should they choose) to use more than one GPU.
Why do people keep saying this?
Stadia itself is scalable in the future because the tech can be stacked but I saw no indication a developer could just "choose" to use way more power if they want to.
That type of scaling will be used to upgrade Stadia in the future or offer a higher tier more costly service not let devs just decide on their own their game is going to be twice as expensive for Google to render.
Unless someone can correct me on where Google said it was up to devs, which would just be bizarre.
I have the same issue. My order has a button to allow me to change payment information, so I'm hoping I can do that when the time comes.If I pre order this can I change my payment information later? Because my card is about to expire
The those concerned or making it a talking point that there won't be other mobile devices supported besides the Pixel 3/3a:
There will also be family sharing:
You can.If I pre order this can I change my payment information later? Because my card is about to expire
Wasn't there supposed to be an interview with Harrison yesterday? Anyone have a link?
They will take 30% like every other store for sure and dont need ads for Stadia Base.Have they said when they will add ads to the base version? Would be glorious if even the paid subscription had ads ... It's what makes Google money at the end.
I was too... until I realized that I'd have to wait two months to play Shadowkeep.

Except every minute you play a game on the service costs them money. Hence why there is a $9.99 fee for Pro.They will take 30% like every other store for sure and dont need ads for Stadia Base.
Phil Harrison: "The fundamental benefit of our cloud native infrastructure is that developers will be able to take advantage of hardware and power in ways never before possible. And that includes taking of advantage of the power of multiple GPUs at once."Unless someone can correct me on where Google said it was up to devs, which would just be bizarre.
