| The service is launching in November and it will cost $9.99 per month for 4K 60fps HDR with 5.1 sound gaming, which Google will be calling Stadia Pro. If you are looking at this and concerned about the price, basic 1080p gaming will be available for free next year. On the free tier, called Stadia Base, you will have to buy games separately. If you pay for the subscription service for Stadia Pro, you will get a set of games for free as well. Stadia Pro works similar to how the Xbox Game Pass does, at least that’s the intention. Destiny 2 is currently the only game included with the subscription. They will add more games to Stadia Pro as time goes on. Games not included in the subscription will have to be purchased separately at their retail cost. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-stadia-games-pricing-availability/ range of resolutions and internet speeds here https://twitter.com/GoogleStadia/status/1136665859487862784 thats nice hopefully this cloud gaming stuff will be successful this time especially that 5G is just around the corner |
| I wonder how many idiots are gonna pay for singleplayer games with latency lmao |
| Google probably has the infrastructure to deal with latency. list of games available (source in op) more options for consumers is always a good thing! |
| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

| Stadia 4K streaming will use up 1TB of data in 65 hours https://twitter.com/pcgamer/status/1136744597399506944 lol better have unlimited internet (no data cap) |
| DOA for anyone with data caps. $129 for a controller and Chromecast Ultra? Ouya anyone? |

| This whole cloud gaming business still sounds extremely gimmicky tbh, but part of me does want it to be successful since it can open up a whole new world for consumers if perfected. Emphasis on if, though. |
 |
| Don't buy games on Stadia, you'll lose them after this dries up in two years. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| As long as I can't play the games I bought on Steam with it, it's useless for me. Guess it can make sense for some people though. |
| Meh. Make it a few € a year, and I'll use it. Not buying games for it either, since I have already all my games in steam. |
 Just because I can use it doesn't mean I will use it. |

| You would have to be an idiot to buy into this, it will be shit down within 2 years just like google do with most things. You will be left with useless hardware and games you paid for but cannot play. Never depend on the "cloud" for anything because it will be shut down as soon as it stops becoming profitable. |
 |
| i can understand the negativity here but to me cloud computing is inevitable (Thanos lol) especially that web assembly is gonna be the norm in the next few years so web programming will be on par with desktop programming making gaming as a service or software as a service in general really possible on the web alone |
| Call me old fashioned, but I still like to have physical copies of my games, I even go so far as to burn steam games to disks, so I definitely don't want to have another subscription service that has you paying for something you will never own. Also, the asshats don't even have Senran Kagura |
 |
| I would rather just keep using a powerful PC if I'm honest. Having the game run locally makes sense to me, even if it is more expensive. I briefly tried out OnLive a long time ago and it wasn't for me. I'm probably just old fashioned, but I will resist moving to cloud gaming services every time. |
 |
| no, you dont need to buy their controller. you just need a HID compliant controller, which means, at least in theory, PS4 and XBox controllers should also work. if google stadia lives up to expectations, it could be a great thing for gamers on a budget - you would be able to play games at full hd or higher at 60 fps using a $150 chromebook, which is significantly cheaper than buying an actual gaming pc. of course, what will make or break the service is the list of games available, the price of the games, and the latency. im moderately optimistic that this might possibly turn differently from their past projects. im not the biggest fan of google, but to be fair: 1. the business model the business model is not that different from steam and valve. people buy digital copies of the game to play on steam compatible devices. the difference here is that this time, you will be able to play even on lower end devices as well. 2. game prices no official prices, but as a comparison, dragon ball xenoverse 2 is $49.99 on Valve, while its physicial price is $59.99. Google will probably have to sell the games at a discount if they want to sell the games in their platform. there would be little reason to buy games on stadia if competitors offer at a significantly better price. 3. the controller it's $69 https://9to5google.com/2019/06/06/stadia-controller-price-available/ still more expensive than Sony's PS4 controller (currently $40 on bestbuy because of discount) and xbox one (price range from $60 to $70 on bestbuy - the more expensive being "limited edition") if you already have a controller, so long as its HID compliant (such as Sonys or the xbox one controller), you should be able to use it to play games on stadia at no extra cost. 4. data caps this is not an inherent problem with stadia. streaming content at high resolutions comes at a cost. that is true with stadia as is true with any other game streaming platform or video streaming services. or did you think streaming 4K movies was cheap, bandwidth wise? latency could be problematic though - especially when trying to play at higher resolutions. |

| Pay for games you can't hold in your hands and you will end up like Telltale digital customers. |
| I feel like the next time we'll hear about Stadia will be to learn that the project was aborted. |
| I give it 6 months to a year before it crumbles under its own weight. |

The minimum requirement is 10mps, most persons atleast have that. I can see how this can sky rocket into mainstream popularity easily. Just as how they advertise the youtube feature where you can watch a trailer and thenplay the game at the end of the trailer. So imagine if you can play demos of a game that is within the trailer of that said game, and anyone can try it as long as they have google chrome browser, that youtube link or game link would be share easily on twitter and other social media form. Easy access to games and being able to share links is what the internet is all about, just like how someone can make a meme and send it on social media and it spread like wildfire the same can happen here. |
Google has a massive list of failed projects, people now have fatigue that they don't want to invest in something only to be left high and dry within a year. They are at 190 now. https://killedbygoogle.com/ |

I can see how this can sky rocket into mainstream popularity easily. Just as how they advertise the youtube feature where you can watch a trailer and thenplay the game at the end of the trailer. I think the cost is prohibitive. The games are too less and most people don't care about 4k gaming. 1080p is good enough for most people. The ones that care for 4k already have their own PC and aren't interested in Stadia. Most people probably aren't willing to pay for another subscription service. I would pay $5 for the catalog of games at 1080p 60fps.... assuming they get more games that interest me. I hope it takes off though. Cloud Computing is exciting and Google is one of the few companies with the resources to make this possible. |

You are a fool if you depend on the cloud for things like home security of any other physical product that will leave you with a worthless product once they withdraw support. People will be left with useless controllers very soon. |

Hey_Taka-tin_Hey said: keragamming said: That is a good point, I don't even know about the majority of these stuff, could it be that Google marketing simple sucks? It's hard to market a product that is essentially inferior to every other competitor on the market. I would be paying full price for the "privilege" of streaming a game, when I could buy the same game on a PS5 and play it directly from my SSD. Even if you have the subscription, PS Now is still better, because you can download most games and not rely on your internet connection at all times (mine is actually excellent, but I still lagged on Mega Man, on occasion). This product is basically a test. It won't sell. Ok, I get what you and many persons are saying, but remember you guys are hardcore gamers, causal gamers that may can't afford console, or is interested in buying console are the market they are targeting, aka the mobile market. Remember the based version is free, causals want to just want to click on the game and playing without installing patch or anything, they just want to play, just like using netflix, if it is easy to access, people will buy it. |
| I don't really get the point of Google Stadia. It's not like it's cheap compare to used consoles. Nowadays, you can buy used PS4 or Xbox One-S for $150 USD / $200 CAD (with controller and everything, just no games, unless seller are generous enough to include it) on Kijiji or Cragslist and you have access to tones of library and console exclusive games. Lot of games from couple years ago can be bought for cheap price. Xbox One-S you can even use it as a 4k Blu-ray Player! So it's a Win-Win! |

They have $9.99 subscription for the pro and the based version which is free and you only buy the games, so yes, google stadia is a cheaper way to play games, without the hassle of consoles. its also easy to access, you can play games form a google browser with just one click, right now with technology persons want everything to happen with a snap of a finger, which is why netflix is so popular because you choose you show you click it and you start watching it, dvd for example where you have to set it up and put it in the tv, is like too much work now and that is the reason why this will also make casuals that play on their mobile getting interested in it as well. |
| Only 12 out of the 36 promised games will now be available on release. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/11/only-12-games-will-be-available-on-google-stadia-in-time-for-nov-19-launch/ |
|
| The day 1 lineup looks pretty meh unless you are a Tomb Raider fan. Even then the games are cheaper on Steam so it's definitely still not for me. Data caps will kill this service for people in the US crippled by Comcast. Hmm I wonder if Google could build a fiber-optic network and call it Google Fiber? nudge nudge wink wink. |

| There is a story on Ars about the games companies not wanting to do games because they fear it will shut down shortly. I'd be surprised if it last more than 2 years. |

The more years it survive the more likely it will gain traction, because 5g technology, more games and more features. I will say next year around this time will give us a better gauge if it will die or not. All this is just speculation or hope that it does get shut down. |
| Discord couldn't even get people to play the games they offered that bundled with nitro. Unless it's a constant stream of new releases this is gonna be DOA. |
| Google Stadia launch review: Gaming’s “future” looks rough in the present Google's game streaming is too limited and too unreliable, for too little benefit. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/11/google-stadia-might-be-gamings-future-but-in-the-present-it-looks-rough/ welp the (internet) technology for clould gaming is not ready yet too soon google too soon |
| I read that you can't even use the best wifi so phone gaming isn't going to work if you have to use ethernet. |
|
| Anyone that is familiar with Android dev and Google isn’t surprised that Stadia is basically a beta product. I mean look at Android 10 Dark Mode A/B testing. They can’t even get a dark mode done correctly what do you expect when they try launching “the future of gaming” or whatever bs marketing they try to call it. |

The gamepad isn't even notable in any way either. Plus there is still the glaring issue of not owning the full price games or even having a local copy to backup. Streaming games in itself is a neat idea but this games as a service trend is absolutely horrible for gaming. If they at least offered mirrors to get an archive of the game you bought then I'd give it some credit but that will never happen. I won't complain too much about electronic distribution at this point but if I can't put my game library on a disc in case my heads crash or ssd dies then it's a nonstarter, and I know that's a pretty public consensus or Steam would have flopped years ago. |

Eh, I have actually tried stadia from a friend over wifi and it played solid for me, only notice one hiccup during the 3 hours of gameplay of Destiny 2, didn't notice any lag or latency, though I am not a hardcore gamer so maybe more experience gamer may notice it, but if there is any, it is minimal, his connection is 30mbp, and it played like I was on a console, while on the other hand I have watch reviews from Washington post with 1gb speed and it lags like crazy. So I'm not sure on the reason behind that, but I have concluded that experiences vary and having a high speed internet doesn't guarantee a good experience. It works and a lot of people said it works, some people tried it at starbuck their College and it played reasonable well even in those condition, I have seen people that are saying it needs 10 or 15 more years, and I'm like but it works now! imo when next year comes and it officially launches google needs to make sure that all its features is available and ironing out the performance of the games as well. I think when the free version is out and demos are available persons will be able to know if this system is for them and that it can work perfectly or almost perfectly for them. |
