Google's Project Stream will let you stream high-end games in Chrome - Android Authority

[defaltoption]

"Google says that the future of streaming technology is much more than video. It has partnered with Ubisoft to build a demo of Project Stream around the upcoming Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Unlike video, a game requires extremely low latency for direct control of the experience in real time. Buffering and graphical errors that might be acceptable with video aren't going to fly when playing a game."

"Project Stream isn't necessarily limited to games, but that's where Google is starting. You can sign up to try Project Stream when the service launches on October 5th, but this is a limited time test. Google doesn't say how long it will last, but you'll be able to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey for the duration free of charge. You need to have at least 25Mbps of download bandwidth to use Project Stream."

Good luck with that, then.

Signed up. We'll see how it goes.

The first link is a referral. Why?


I'm guessing that this will end up being similar to Rainway but with a Nvidia Shield-like service instead of streaming your own games.

 

[Time Loop]

I hope there will be old games from retro consoles. Dreamcast, Saturn, PSX, PS2 - it would be really awesome.

i probably should have signed up at home where my connection is way better than work. hopefully they haven't secretly pulled stuff from here to decide.

Just noticed actually not sure, it leads to the sign up link below, it's from the article. If you don't want to click it the link below is the sign up oage without it

What makes this better than other streaming services?

 

[Netvon]

A shame this is only for the U.S. right now.

 

[Zen Hero]

My internet is nowhere near fast enough unfortunately :/

 

[BlueManifest]

Unless they add steam, gog, and battle.net like GeForce now it's just going to be a worse version of GeForce now

What's the point launching a direct feed video for a streaming game?
Show me another cam with somebody playing and we can judge input lag, etc...

 

[SuikerBrood]

25 Mbps isn't that high for many Western European countries. The future is now, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[tsab]

US only

 

[ASaiyan]

I'll sign up just to see how bad this runs on my internet, lol. Though it'd sure be something if it ran well.

 

[Slythe]

Registered. After watching the Phil Spencer interview with Giant Bomb at E3 I started to lighten up a bit toward this whole streaming thing.

I am excited to see the tech develop as I believe it really is the next paradigm shift for the medium - perhaps even more so than VR. The potential for new audiences with no hardware paywall is astounding.

 

[Menx64]

If they can get that to work on phones... holy moly. Of course using wifi.

 

[zychi]

How if Chrome is using 15 of the 16GB of ram available?

Lol

I suppose we'll have to wait and see. It running on anything that can run Chrome is a big deal though. That potentially means that even a $200 Chromebook can play a high end PC game

 

[Goronmon]

Well, this is Google, any bets on how long before this service shuts down? Six months, a year?

 

[Chris.]

Shame it's US only

There might be 3 or 4 of their services offering this and eventually one of them will do it correctly or maybe none of them will.

Naw, this one will survive.

it's sister app, that does a great job managing your controller configs, allows you to manually port your saves, has a super clean library interface and allows you to resume on any device...THAT ONE will get shut down after 6 months.

I wish there was a way to set this kind of thing up on your PC so I could stream games running on my PC elsewhere.

PS4 Remote Play is great but still needs to be improved.

 

[UltraMagnanimous]

https://shadow.tech and https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/geforce-now/ are availble now... will be interesting to see comparisons.

 

[grosbard]

I'm curious how mass data collection is implemented into this.

 

[SuikerBrood]

Interested to see if Google really has plans to infiltrate high end gaming. They'll need studios, hardware, software, services, etc.

Fascinating times ahead.

I can't even get a "good enough" low level of latency when streaming games across my home network (20ms streaming lag), so I dunno how they would manage to do that remotely.
