Digital Foundry’s latency test was at their own home office and not at GDC, right?

Well they actually said that Stadia will be capable of 4k with HDR on launch. The thing is if you have a 4k HDR screen, that costs already a poo poo ton, you probably can afford a decent pc or a console.

Cabbit posted:That's cool. I live in a major metropolitan area on the west coast of the United States and I can't get fiber. The only available internet is either DSL or cable, and both have data caps that will gently caress you up if you cross them. It gets worse the further inland you go. Infrastructure in the US is hosed. Infrastructure is garbage in the US and Canada. The size of the country has something to do with it but their is also too many regulations. Anyone who has ever been to China, Korea knows what modern infrastructure looks like. big nipples big life posted:You can get a 4k HDR TV pretty cheap these days. Ah it depends on the size you definitely can get some hdr 4k tvs/monitors cheap but smaller. I have an ultrawide 3440p monitor no hdr and it was like $1k

Price is not really a barrier to entry for video gaming, especially console gaming, in order to play, basically, console games but network infrastructure is a barrier to entry for streaming gaming so it's creating a problem rather than solving one

big nipples big life posted:I have a 50" 4k HDR tv that was 600 bucks. My point was that if you want to play on 4k or 8k(?) that they were saying you will need inevitably spend some money. A console that can play 4k isn't that expensive, it is cheaper than a 4k screen. Also the 4k hdr 60fps at launch is a pipe dream right now when performance on high 1080p looks average at best. Anyway I am really interested in digitalization/services/streaming so I will follow stadia and try it out even though I have an 2080ti/i7 8700k.

if you don't have a ton of money and you want to play AAA games, buy a base version of ps4/xbox one, because by the time the stadia comes out, at least one of those will have revealed their next gen system, so base PS4/XB1 will go on sale a ton especially around the holiday if you want to play games on the go, get a switch, because it's the best value proposition and compromise in terms of having acceptable performance and decent game library and OK visuals. if you're cheap you can't be too picky. and then also you can play mario the number of games that are PC-only and super high tech and require massive rigs... extremely small. and no game remains pc-only for long

Regulations are not inherently good or bad, and there's plenty of bad, anti-competitive regulation that exists purely to protect existing de facto monopolies.

I can't wait to see Stadia kill consoles and pc gaming so that I can subscribe to it and wait for 20 years that my ISP finally dies to get a new ISP that gives me full 1080p 60fps capability.

There's so many interesting things you could do with streamed games that no one's even thought about yet, especially multiplayer games. If streamed games can make a multiplayer compelling enough that fat kids just gather together to throw themselves in the sea at once and leave gaming then yes I'm all for streamed games.
