My husband used to try to help me with taking care of the house and raising the children, but was always an incompetent idiot who just kept getting in my way. Thanks to Stadia, he now spends all his time owning noobs in Destiny 2, while I take care of the family and the house. Little does he know that I've been mixing cyanide into his dinners.

The background glass just looks dirty, and makes me think this has been sitting out in the elements accumulating grime for weeks/months. Is it supposed to look like a dreamscape or something? basically, even accounting for executive meddling, the design on this whole thing is kinda suspect.

It's a neat idea but Google cheaped out on it. If they had been willing to pay for better items or mock them up themselves, it would have been fine. Like some good examples are, say, Pong, Spacewar (don't need a real machine, just mock one up with a video of Spacewar playing on it), an Atari (with an actual good game) an NES, a Gameboy, a VR headset (maybe on of the 90s ones that played Dactal Nightmare?), a Pac Man arcade machine, etc. Instead they wanted the items to be both recognizable and cheap. They didn't specify they couldn't also be failures or laughingstocks.

Does google has AI for automatic facial expressions and lip syncing speech for NPCs based on the speech input ? This would be handy for Stadia exclusives. What do you think? With this, they dont need to motion capture all of the NPCs, but yet get the same result..

There's no way a hotel connection is going to offer a remotely playable experience. They all drop packets like crazy with latencies that vary from normal to full seconds unless you're the only one on.

A crucial first step is to annotate the film in terms of the mouth movements, so the new voices look as though they come from the existing faces. It is not just the number of mouth-movements—Joe Lynch, director of the “Spectros” dub, calls them “flaps”—which matters. So does their type. A b-sound, with the lips together, in the original should ideally correspond to a similar-looking sound (which might be p or m) in the dub.

They'll definitely have some sort of VR happening. I can see more a Daydream 2 where it's not a full on VR but one more like a hybrid between oculus go and quest. Mainly for films and Stadia

RagnarokZ posted:That Factoria thread died real quick too. It's kind of like a reverse Ouya, because while Ouya tried to solve the non-existent problem of "nobody plays games on their televisions sitting on their couch anymore" while a plethora of TV-connected consoles existed, Stadia attempts to solve the polar-opposite non-existent problem of "video game consoles keep people tethered a big screen in one area of their house" while mobile gaming, console streaming, Steam streaming, and the Nintendo Switch exist. Granted it'll end up the same way though. Given the almost identical level of incompetence and failure to read the room, I'm almost surprised that we haven't seen Julie Uhrman rear her head on this one. Fingers crossed for a hilariously tone-deaf gross-out Stadia ad.

I remember a few years after the Virtual Boy came out, this one game shop at the mall had a massive pile of them at some absurdly bargain basement prices, something like $10 or $20 a pop. Not picking up one of them is one of my greatest regrets.

If Nintendo had waited for Green and Blue lights to drop in price so all three could be in the virtual boy screen I think it would have been slightly more successful

It will only ever connect to one of them, not the other. I guess it's fine if it's basically meant to make your dumb tv into a smart one, but I genuinely thought that because it's such a small thing that it's meant to be portable.

Now we have to deal with that sort of stupid poo poo all over their products. How long has it been since Android TV first became a thing? Because the amazing way they bungled the gently caress out of that despite being ahead of apple by several years was the first time I noticed cracks in the facade. I'm still kind of annoyed at how massively they hosed up there when they could have been the Switch way before the Switch was a thing. (Or hell, at the very least, a competent version of the ouya.)

quote:The Verge, one the major tech sites on the web, just published an article on the most anticipated games of 2020. Incredibly, they do not even bother to mention Stadia as a platform for important games like Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk and Gods and Monsters. I wonder if it has ever happened in the past that a platform from a major tech company gets TOTALLY IGNORED just two months after launch. I am not talking about being excited for it, just totally dismissing it as if it did not exist or not deserved to exist. Scary stuff right there. Ok, Google made some major mistakes during launch, but the platform works incredibly well and it is unjust to purposefully try to destroy it by refusing to talk about it. The Verge, you are journalists for ****'s sake, you should at least report things when they exist, even if you do not like them. What do you think?

Incredibly, they do not even bother to mention Stadia as a platform for important games like Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk and Gods and Monsters Gods & Monsters, jeez. I'd forgotten about this game, much like Ubisoft. Let's recap: It had less than a minute's worth of footage at E3 in June, showing absolutely nothing of interest. We still know zero about it other than that it's open world, has a customizable character, "cartoony, story book" graphics and that it'll supposedly play somewhat like AC:Odyssey. Originally slated for February 2020, a few months after the announcement it got moved to "2020" and there's been zero news on it since. It's obviously in a bad spot because normally Ubisoft would've plastered the media with PR coverage like they always do, except when they send games out to die. There's a bunch of games in a Ubisoft landfill that fit this pattern. Basically everything else known that is upcoming from Ubisoft has had more news than this game, even BG&E2. quote:I wonder if it has ever happened in the past that a platform from a major tech company gets TOTALLY IGNORED just two months after launch.
