Cardiovorax posted:Really? That would be incredibly stupid. I mean, Borderlands 3 is natively available for PC, I can't imagine they actually plan to obtain and port the source code to Linux for every game they intend to have on their platform. Easier to run it in a stripped-down Windows environment than to go to that kind of effort. Gobbeldygook posted:You're going to have to be more specific than that. Are you talking about Amazon Underground, Amazon's program that offered free apps and paid developers based on how long people spent using them? Their purchase of Twitch, the largest game streaming site in the world? Their purchase of Curse Gaming? Amazon Game Studios, which is still making games?

Amazon Game Studios is pretty badly run I've heard. Everyone I know who's there is actively trying to leave.

ratbert90 posted:If the game is on the PS4 then it’s already got a BSD + OpenGL port and the effort to port the game to stadia wouldn’t be that bad. also you already got dunked on twice for this but lol, nope. PS4 does not support OpenGL, nor does it support "BSD", the kernel might be based on FreeBSD but that's irrelevant to game devs, the entire userspace is different. If you have a PS4 port it's probably not too costly to port to Stadia because some of the concepts are the same, but it's still a few months work of effort, you have to deal with their godawful miserable tooling, terrible devrel & support. and from what I can tell, you cannot connect to third-party servers, because then the main advantage of Stadia, multiplayer being inside the network, is lost. and Google won't let you connect other clients to Stadia servers. so crossplay is DOA.

shadow puppet of a posted:But, you... you are seeing the roadmap, the full roadmap. The same one Google employees have access too. Beautiful isn't it? The most common argument used on r/Stadia when the lack of games is brought up is basically "There's at least twenty to thirty games available right now. Are you telling us you bought and completed all of them in the short amount of time they've been available? I know I can't play that many. You're whining about nothing." No joke. I've seen that exact defense used on r/Stadia so many times, it's mindblowing.

The other defense, is "but no new games have come out on other platforms either, so you aren't missing anything! New games will release on Stadia too" Which manages to be objectively untrue and rather besides the point.

The whole Stadia first party thing is still so silly to me. Google's game console/streaming service project has been in the works since at least 2016. Phil Harrison joined in January 2018 but it's not until March 2019 that a "studio" is established, half a year before the platform's launch, and then the execs immediately say "It's gonna be about 2-3 years before we can show something". Doesn't anyone find that level of pre-planning absurd? Gobbeldygook posted:New World and it will be launched on May 26th. Amazon has started paying streamers to run trailers for it (not as ads that can be blocked, like the streamer pushing play and commenting as they watch it). It will probably fail because it's not WoW or FFXIV.

Are you telling us you bought and completed all of them in the short amount of time they've been available? I know I can't play that many. You're whining about nothing." I know it's like debating a wall but come on, not everyone likes every game. For the average consumer they'll probably like 1/10th of the game library that's available so that's only 2-3 games. That's a tiny rear end library. Tempura Wizard posted:This and “It’s actually cool and good that we only have a few games, because having [newer and/or better games] would distract us from appreciating [older and/or worse games]”. That's why I was asking about new stadia releases in the last page. There's really not that many new-new games coming and even still the release dates on all of them is well... Just being hopeful that they come at all! The amount of hand waving is absolutely Olympic levels of effort.

The Kins posted:As mentioned, Stadia uses its own Linux/Vulkan based setup that you have to port to. The lack of need to port is actually one of the interesting advantages Microsoft are taking into their service - they've been rocking up to publishers and selling them on Xcloud by showing them their Xbone games already setup and streaming to a phone without any developer intervention necessary (Although I think they've added stuff to the dev kit so devs can detect if their game is running on a phone and adjust font sizes etc. to be more legible). lol yeah wonder where they got that idea from

We have erred believing streaming gaming should make content available in more places and time. We should return to the Satellaview model and make it so you can only play at specific times the specific content that that weeks episode consists of and have to listen to low budget radio broadcast voice acting dubbed over the snippets of game.

Google should have had 5-10 nice first party games that used as many features as possible. Instead they released it and are now picking up studios and developers to produce something soon™

They saw people getting the sweet gaming bucks, and they wanted to crack the market. And as has happened in different markets with different companies all trying the same thing Google is here, they will fail because you need more than just being in the space to be successful.

 There are a million and one reasons to be mad at Pai, but ensuring your gaming site isn’t blocked at work sure ain’t one of them.

I was thinking about the Vectrex as well, nice hardware but MB/GCE took the small handful of developers and put them to work on a tons of games that should have been ready for the console launch... Those games had a lot of love but they still came out terrible. Stadia has what? Just two games published by Google?

Ah yes, because back before Pai took control of the FCC, we were freely browsing porn at work, downloading viruses with aplomb, and setting up backdoor servers on our work network. Also, I don't think these people understand what the FCC does. They would not involve themselves in what websites a company allowed their employees to access on their network.

They're apparently at CES doing closed-doors demos of the thing. Because that's what you do with a crowdfunded project like this - show it to other people, not those that pre-ordered it. This thing is meant to be in backers' hands by March but it's still marked a "Prototype" on IndieGogo. Yep, very legit.
