So Google are set to announce....something today.

Most speculation is centered around it being a dongle for the game streaming service they recently trialed with AC: Odyssey. However, there's also a chance for something more interesting than that - maybe a new console, who knows! They're teasing actual hardware at the event:

There'll be a stream here in around 4 hours so you can say you were there when the Ouya 2 / Google Streamcast / Segoogle Dreamcast 2 was revealed to the world:

This fucking day....
Based upon Project Stream I'm betting it will be a decent powerful machine to run indie games ALONG WITH a service to stream games remotely. Question is if the service will be a single monthly fee for a set number of games or a pay per game fee.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
Remember those banner ads that were like "click on the [whatever] to win [thing]" in which [whatever] just panned left and right really fast? That's gonna be all the Google games.

This is going to be some "games as a service" streaming bullshit that has a %80 chance of tanking super hard and a %20 chance of a making google even more heaps of money from 11 year olds who stole their parents credit card.

Uh... Kupo?

I suppose it would be nice to have a more appropriate android device at my TV for playing emulators/ROMs. But streaming games that aren't Civ? Yikes.

It ain't the true Ouya successor because Google ain't doing this out in the convention hall parking lot.

Uhhh, if Google makes the Omi console that streams either PlayStation/Microsoft exclusives that is going to be a pretty big deal. Would take Epic Games Store levels of payoffs through.

It's going to be a streaming box that can play slightly tuned for optimization PC games and android shovelware. You're not going to play Spiderman on this thing.

They have no games. This is their pitch to developers, the fact that 3 billion people use Chrome. That's what they're going with.
