Being a fanboy about the Xbox? It's fine. I'm probably a PS4 and Steam stan.
It's more about keeping the tech discussions at a more logical perspective. He was probably right that the teraflop count wont be as high as we first hoped. Also helped quash some fake leaks quickly thanks to his knowledge in a few areas.
I can only speak for myself, but as I was busy moving when the Driveclub servers were shut down, I decided to take this opportunity to give it a shot. It's fine. I just tried a DLC course that I'd never played before and got a trophy. No warning messages about not being able to connect or anything like that. I never played multiplayer much so I'm not really missing anything.
hmm you might have misunderstood. Physical DriveClub plays like it should be . i have some free dlc installed.
Google has said previously that they strictly shortlist their ideas for "shiny things" and acknowledge that of those that make it to production only 1 in 5 will succeed. It's part of their "model".

I wonder what's winning.
It's currently [OT7] - nm.
When I first saw the ellipsis I wanted to cry because I thought the titles were too long to show up, I had to tediously copy and paste the poll responses and check them like 4 times because I made mistakes. On my PC I can hover over the ellipsis and it shows me what it is, but I'm not sure how you could do that on mobile devices.
One of the things with streaming services like Stadia is what type of game will actually sell on them? At least the way their business model is designed I don't think the traditional $60 game works. The idea of paying full price for a traditional console style games doesn't sound that appealing to me (both due to lack of ownership and also/mainly because those types of experiences don't really translate well to the play anywhere mobile type experience it seems they will be going for). Plus some games are just better played on a big screen on local dedicated hardware
I don't see the $60 game selling well on that platform. If Stadia want to go mass market and get to all those phone users it seems small games, that are just a step up from those already made for the mobile market, stand a much better chance of success than say something like Assassins Creed. I have a feeling the $5 to $20 bite sized retro and indi game, and some free to play stuff, is what ends up working/selling.

Not wanting to backseat mod or anything, but should we make a rule on whether Stadia discussions should be included in the next OT?
The execution of these threads since the decision was taken to make it multiplatform hasn't exactly been great (and IMO the discussion would be better served being platform specific, but anyway...), and Stadia has plenty of it's own threads atm and just seems to be adding to the noise rather than boosting the signal, as it were.
Waddya think, Era?

I actually just posted something re Stadia but only as I saw the discussion had moved in that direction a bit. I actually agree with you! This thread seems mostly 'focused' on next gen tech/hardware and rumors. Although I suppose it's a bit muddy (Are talking about next gen business models too?) Anyway, I agree, I like the idea of keeping Stadia to it's own threads.
This is the proudest moment of my life, even more than my sons birth.
Yeah, "failure is a feature" is an internal refrain.
And ok, that's not without merit. But it sucks for consumers that put any faith in these failures.
The online races were still working last weekend. Just the challenges were gone. Really confused me.
Granted there were only 2-3 people in each race though.
I think stadia does need new builds. Isn't it Linux based - not straight windows anyway. Shouldn't be complicated to get a port done but any additional costs are still costs so some publishers will wait and see. Others will likely be incentivised by google to bring games
No, we're just nearing 20K posts is all.
Rude >:(
So we are making more posst to start the new thread? XD
I'll participate too.
I hope next thread will be more juicy.

After the leaks in |OT 7|nm it will be called |OT 8|een TF
BELIEVE
i dont believe
I can't fathom being excited for the Stadia.
Best case scenario, it works as advertised, minuscule lag, plenty of games, at launch you are still playing the exact same games you can play right now, but only a little bit worse.
Hell, you can't even play it away from home!
You'll need Wifi at launch AND a wired controller to your phone.
The future is here...

That 400-500€ console is also a 4K movie player and media hub, has a wealth of exclusives and your current gen library. The need for online sub is subjective. For example, I only play Let It Die online, and since it's a FTP title it works without PS+. So, if you only play games like Fortnite, and Sony maintains their stance on PS5, you'll be able to play all FTP games online for free. Personally, I sub to PS+ mostly for monthly games, discounts, and cloud saves.
Plus, if 4K streaming for single player games require 10€/month, it's an added cost for SP gamers that doesn't exist on PS/XB platforms.
Driveclub's servers will be shut on 31 March 2020, the game was just removed from the store a couple of months ago. You can play the game just fine, even after the servers are shut.
Once again focus on cpu upgrade not gpu...
Imagine DriveClub, but Sony can come to your house and smash your copy with a hammer.
With Stadia, you don't have to imagine 🌈💿🔨
I expect they both will with how shit the cpu was all these years .
Expect to see loads of NPCs in open world games and in towns lol.
