It would be really dumb if it didn't have any exclusives. That being said, those exclusives are going to fucking die on that platform lmao

The technology doesn't exist for wide-scale cloud gaming that can provide a comparable experience to current user-side gaming.

They need to roll out that YouTube shit already. That was the major selling point and it's still not here.

My experience with Stadia on a 150 Mbit/sec connection:

"This seems OK but I'd rather just buy and download the game"

From a developer stand point it makes sense. Take googles money when the stadia dies release a GOTY/Complete/Remastered/Buzzword for port edition.

What they really need to do is to go the netflix route, or if they must insist on people paying for the games, price them less than the competition, since you don't own the game. It is so stupid that an old ass game comes out on Stadia for full price or a lot higher than steam or a store is selling it for.

I will say this - it works better than I expected it would, but certainly not as well as actually owning the game

It actually does work. Stupidly well in fact.

The problems with the service are:

  1. Shit is just way too expensive. $59.99 for a streaming only game when the same fucking game at the same price on Xbox gets me both local and streaming versions (and never mind that it's probably cheaper on Xbox).
  2. Controller support is garbage right now. If you're not using the stadia official controller then it's a total crapshoot.
  3. Completely barren of useful features compared to the leading competitor, Microsoft xCloud.
  4. Failed to deliver on basically every promise except "you can play games"

Also, running it at 4K literally uses up more data in a few hours than just downloading the game.

Except for the part where you can also download all the PS4 games on PS Now, making it basically both XCloud and Game Pass combined into one service.

It justs needs to be updated. Especially the PC app which is straight hot booty trash, but Sony has a place in my heart's heart so I won't give up on them yet!

xCloud is free (like Stadia) so having GamePass is already combining xCloud and GamePass into a single service.

xCloud is a bit more limited on the selection of games at the moment though. It's still a "Beta" technically.

If we're going that route, XCloud more closely approximates PS4 Remote Play, which you can do at 1080p 60fps over the internet.

No Microsoft has their own version of remote play called "Game Streaming" because lack of imagination I guess. You get the game streaming app from the store and can then launch "remote play" if you want, or boot into xCloud from it. Having GamePass just gives you access to games without having to buy them.

Yeah I can't see how Google can compete when they have no option to play their games locally. Streaming needs to be an additional option. Not the only one.

No console should have exclusives unless it is developed first party, and even then it shouldnt be exclusive anyway.

If Google is funding and publishing these games they are considered first party games. In fact Supermassive who is one of the developers who have signed up with Google did Until Dawn for Playstation.

Especially when you take into account that many people don't have good enough internet connections to get a quality experience from streaming games.

This sounds stupid. Exclusives are good for competition.
