Get Packed (Stadia exclusive) looks like it will be a pretty fun couch co-op, Overcooked-esque type game. Not sure on exact release date.

Gods & Monsters, coming in Feb also seems interesting, from the devs of AC:O. Kinda looks like AC:O meets Zelda.

Okay I saved his post so we can find it even if he deletes it after none of those games come out (gods and monsters was delayed for every platform, it ain't coming February unless you mean February 2021)

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
My favorite part of the Reddit is that they are excited that the Stadia logo is in Doom Eternal's trailer.

Yeah, that's the sound of a healthy platform with lots of consumer confidence. A trailer for a game that previously announced support for Stadia shows the logo, therefore, we must be excited.

I expect a bunch of developers that made commitments to release games for Stadia will probably be dragging their feet on them after the release fiasco, and won't be likely to plan future releases for it after they see the sales numbers.

Sucks for those indie devs who signed timed exclusive deals. That's really gotta take the wind out of their sails :( I hope they got good lump sum payments.

Wow, the game that did some marketing deal with them back pre-release, and is the easiest possible port since it's already on linux+vulkan, is going to be day and date? An amazing success for Stadia!

Yet they still haven't bothered to put Doom 2016 up for sale despite it being the demo game during press coverage.

Top /r/stadia tip: find one nutjob comment, then read their profile.

quote:

Totally - I am out in APRIL for sure. Tuesday, April 3rd, 2040. I am switching back to PC assuming those still exist in 2040. Weird date, why 2040? A laptop capable of playing any game right now in 4K is going to cost at least $2500. Break down cost vs the price of Stadia Pro, that is 20 years.

This entire conversation is embarrassing. We are literally talking about the future of all gaming vs 2 cups of coffee per month.
[..]
Stadia, will *eventually* replace console gaming, PC gaming, and phone gaming at a global scale (14 countries already)

quote:

I bought a fairly decent gaming laptop last year. Its about 8 pounds. Gigantic, too big for any normal laptop bag. Too heavy for most travel. I got kicked out of the main living area - it is so loud when you have a game running that you would think you entered a Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
And the battery lasts about 30 minutes, with or without a game running, probably due to the screen refresh rate, and processor.
It is almost 100% useless for non-gaming use.

I think I am going to sell it, before the Jig is up. Once everyone finds out about Stadia, it will have virtually zero resell value.

Here's an interesting thing: Stadia running on an e-reader.

According to the article, the lag is between 500 and 1000 milliseconds, which is obviously completely unplayable, but it's kind of neat that it works at all.

At the end of the video, the game stops working, but according to Vice, that’s because of the flaky Wi-Fi at Ørsted’s school. In other words, it looks like you can get Stadia to run on just about anything, as long as you’ve got solid Wi-Fi.

The more... "optimistic" Stadiots have pointed out that "the same year" is, in fact, a superset of "the same day". Therefore, that tweet technically doesn't say the Stadia version won't release simultaneously with the other versions.

Yep, they're still holding out hope even after reading that.

To be fair the Switch version is dumbed down and looks and runs like rear end. Not that anyone should be playing Farming Simulator anyway unless it's just for loving around in multiplayer.

The thing to remember is that the tech fundamentally driving Stadia does actually work. The actual issues with it are the devs have likely locked the doors and started in on the scotch in their bottom drawers and the real-world infrastructure logistics, which are irredeemably hosed for any kind of interactive streaming service.

Stadians sound like MLM sellers or /r/bitcoin, because the psychology is basically the same.
"I've bought in to [thing]... but goddamn it! Everyone else thinks [thing] is garbage! Unless I can convince people that [thing] is good, my investment will disappear"

MLMs shill it everywhere because they're holding worthless inventory.
Bitcoiners shill it because they're holding worthless math problems.
Stadians shill it everywhere because $60 per game is on a server owned by a company known to kill everything that isn't an immediate success.

It's why you can basically swap stadia<-->bitcoin in most of the posts and it parses normally. They have to believe it's the one true future of gaming, or they'd have to accept they were idiots to buy in.

Real talk, how many of us here would actually be interested in Stadia if it had an honest to god Netflix-style licensing / payment plan? (Like everyone assumed it would have when it was announced :laffo:).
I know I'd bite. It'd be like the second coming of Gametap, which was a severely underrated service. Instead we have paying to paying to play PC games that known Stable Product Maintainer Google technically can pull at any time.

I for one am I glad hostile is enjoying themselves and looking forward to games. I've backed a few doomed formats in my time. Shine on you crazy diamond. :)

The real reason Stadia fell over sideways is the pricing model. Having an extremely limited library where you have to pay full release day price for games years old would kill any platform.

Comparisons with Netflix are difficult because the tv industry is older and more established and was easily able to increase supply to meet the demands of streaming services. In the gaming world there simply isn't the capacity to do the same for AAA or AA level games so the service would have to run off indie games, which would always leave Stadia feeling second rate. Basically there needs to be a whole paradigm shift to get the Netflix model working for games and that's what Google should have been working on doing but instead they seem to have solely focused on the tech (which infrastructure doesn't necessarily support yet) so the product is basically a really cool tech demo that isn't valuable to anybody in a real world sense.
