Google just announced its new plataform: Stadia

Stadia is interesting. Looking forward to more information as new tech is exciting and telling of its direction.

Having all sorts of mixed feelings about this, ranging from excitement to scepticism to mild anxiety. Could go into a lot of different directions and there's still much we don't know. How will the pricing model be? When will it be available all around the globe? Will it be as easy to develop for as they advertise? Will it work with normal internet connections? Will the added input lag be too much? Will it move us even further away from actual ownership of bought products / games? Will it change everything or just fail and fade away? Lots of interesting questions to think about right now...

What exactly makes you think that? I thought they were very clear about the fact that all the calculations that would affect performance are done remotely regardless of local hardware. It's just going to depend on your internet connection, right?

ovenkitty Thanks for clarifying that. The thing is that stuff like network adapters and internet connection devices are a lot cheaper than, say, graphics cards and CPUs. However, high speed internet is definitely not available everywhere so that kind of weighs it down. By display speed, do you mean FPS capabilies of the monitor? Cause it's pretty much normal for monitors to be able to show 60FPS and the streams don't allow more than that for the start anyway.

Yeah I'm pretty excited about the possibility to have a thousand players in a game at once without additional network lag. Sounds like it opens up lots of new possibilities if you can gather enough players.
