    Google Stadia, the future of gaming. I'm really impressed.

    • Basically, you dont need a console ot computer, its all streaming. You can play on any screen you have. AAA games full 3D infinite possibilities.Bennn
    • I think its the most impressive tech i've seen in a long timeBennn
    • Foldable phones arrives at the right time for thisBennn
    • they're gonna take a healthy chunk of the gaming industry billions. if not most of itGnash
    • You can litterally watch a video game trailer on Youtube, hit the PLAY NOW button at the end and start playing in 3sec. a game that would take 4 hours to downloBennn
    • download on Steam.Bennn
    • Not clear what games... PC games only? Will they be competing with PS Now?drgs
    • You can play on your phone, TV, laptop, tablet, cheapass PCBennn
    • Possibilities to have ultra massive multiplayer like 1,000s of players at the same time. No latency.Bennn
    • 1080 & 4KBennn
    • I guarantee there's a monthly subscription fee though, and since it's for virtual content, there's no way you could ever pay for itmonospaced
    • ^ oh, snap!Gnash
    • I'm just playin' ... I think this is really cool and definitely the future.monospaced
    • Interessantset
    • fantastic, game changer (no pun intended).fadein11
    • Streaming is the future of gaming. And how you will be able to finally have AAA games on mobile. 5G will be great for this.NBQ00
    • Its a glympse on the future of computers in general. All you'll need is screens, everything will be streaming, the OS, the programs, the games... etcBennn
    • Hi hackers! Cyber-War is coming.Bennn
    • Sounds awesome, but I don't want to deal with latency, ever. The fact that this is Linux based is very promising tough.section_014
    • Great for casual, same old streaming shite for decent lo ping multiplayer.
      It's Google, so a) It's Google, b) It'll get cancelled when they change their mind

    • Meh, just another subscription service like Adobe's. I ain't paying a monthly fee just to play a couple of games, that's a ripoff.zarkonite
    • i dont know, maybe you'll have to pay the games individually. Like on any consoles.Bennn
    • @section_014 Thats one of the main thing of it, there's virtually no latency at all..! 60FPS all the time.Bennn
    • oops, I missed the all-important word in my whinge - 'latency'.Nairn
    • haha, too late.
      I'm curious to know how they can sustain a constant 60fps across the board, across all reasonably-common connections

    • The one use for HD game streaming I always thought would be neat was as far-off backgrounds in otherwise-local FPS games.Nairn
    • watch the announcment, lots of technical details in itBennn
    • I'm sure, but I'm also more familiar with my shitty home broadband connection than Google is.Nairn
    • Given how copyright law works and this is a streaming service, there's little chance game devs are going to agree to sell their games.zarkonite
    • It's very likely to be a subscription service.zarkonite
    • i demand launch date and list of gamesdrgs
    • As soon as someone else in your house starts watching a make up video on youtube, expect the game play to be lagging...shapesalad
    • didn't Sony and Valve/Steam already attempt this?inteliboy
    • https://en.wikipedia…inteliboy
    • color me impresseddee-dubs
    • inteliboy: the difference here is that google built a crazy ass network + server farms to make it work.zarkonite
    • Comcast has a 1GB monthly cap, if I streamed all the hours I played games I'd blow through that way quicker than I already do.evilpeacock
    • of course, you'll need unlimited internet, I already have it since a few years since we're streaming video like crazy in here.Bennn
    • bennn: pay monthly for software to earn $$$: fuck no! pay monthly to play video games : take my money!! I need a bennnsplanation on this one.dyspl
