It all boils down to your personal ISP though. So Google could invent time machines for all I care, the last mile is gonna make or break it.

I wanted to get in on stadia, but we still have no clue how the library will work. I like that blue controller but I'm gonna hold on to my money for now.

Sometimes I hit right arrow on google's youtube website to skip forward 5 seconds and it takes more than 5 seconds to figure out how to do that and I get mad that I should've just sat through it. I am on a 500 Mbps connection

haveblue posted:How would this improve the path from the datacenter to the customer's home? A few reasons: - Google has a greater number of edge networks they control - They have a lot of long-haul backbone links - In places without edge networks they fully own, they have enough pull to get racks in ISP networks that go straight to their network backbone Additionally, a lot of the problems with large-scale streaming services (in any form) aren't always caused by wide-area failures, but network inefficiency/delays in the datacenter itself. Previous services don't even have a tenth of the experience Google has with that; a significant of the work I cite in my own research is published by Google. Popete posted:It all boils down to your personal ISP though. So Google could invent time machines for all I care, the last mile is gonna make or break it. This is still a huge factor; as I said above, Google often inserts themselves into ISP datacenters in order to provide better service. However, this isn't absolutely ubiquitous- the biggest question is how well they plug up those gaps.

I have little use for Stadia because I'm on a capped connection and already bought into a Gsync monitor, but a friend with a 2500K and an budget GPU and a better ISP than what's in my city could use that.MagusDraco posted:god I had already forgotten about the "pay $10/mo to actually get 4k/60fps streaming" jesus google this is gonna be a trashfire Charging people extra for 4K isn't the most absurd thing. 4K is exponentially more resource-intensive for Netflix, and Netflix isn't doing rendering.

Andrast posted:Google's track record of totally not abandoning most of their new services doesn't inspire me with confidence either This is honestly the biggest issue for me. I have fast enough internet and I don't mind the $10 a month or whatever, but if google is gonna kill the project in two or one and a half years or whatever, why the gently caress would I invest in it? Microsoft and Sony at least have a history of sticking with projects to improve them over time rather than killing them outright.

So it's 9.99($30) a month and you can buy the starter pack for 3 months plus a controller that's 69.99 for 129.99. plus it comes with a 3 month buddy pass (that's worthless unless your friend also has a Chromecast ultra). So you're still starting out down $20 down that they think destiny 2 makes up for. Not feeling it and I was a mark for this service from the beta.

if they cancel it, you stop paying $10 a month. I wouldn't buy games exclusively for it for full price if you think it's gonna crash and burn, but it not being a big upfront investment is like half the point of it.

Yes, the rumor is that that's going to be permanent for all players going forward. The free part is "year 1" which is the base game and the Osiris and Warmind expansions. You still have to buy Forsaken, the 3 expansions in the current annual pass, and any expansions after.

The wow moment with stadia is clicking a link or pressing buy and instantly playing a game. It's so weird that instead of leading off with that, they're launching with a subscription service and exclusive hardware. It's not even a subscription service with a bunch of games, it's literally just Destiny 2. The only other benefit we know about with this pro service is 4K and 5.1. Who the gently caress has 4K and 5.1 and doesn't already have a way to play Destiny 2?

Playing MK11 on a streaming platform sounds insane, but then again something like 80-90% of everyone who ever buys a fighting game never plays a single ranked match.

It's only through a chromecast(ultra?) at launch. an actual dog posted:don't buy this you loving moron I don't have a pc worth anything and the beta was legit.  If I can get games I want without the hardware, I'm down. I'm still waiting to see what the xbox pass for PC is gonna be though. If they have mostly the same games I'll probably just stick with it as most of my IRL people are xboners. Crossplay is already worth it with that. I was only interested because of the buddy pass for my bff.
