This needs to be a Jow Forums discussion because /v/ are retarded babbys
how in the fuck do people actually believe game streaming will ever be feasible. I know the answer is dumb normies who dont know about basic physics or electronics, but it's the principle of the thing damn it.
Any anons who think they WON'T get frustrated at the input lag 10 seconds after they turn on the "console"?
gamers will believe anything
It normally isn't but with a tech giant like Google behind it I would give it a better shot than OnLive or any other service may have had. That being said the founder's edition is meh-ly priced, enough where this will be the use of this pay period's disposable income to see if I like it. If I don't, I'll give the account over to a friend who actually needs it because he's a poor boy.
that's google's angle
get everyone to buy it because it's new, then immediately drop support because it's l i t e r a l l y u n p l a y a b l e on consumer home networks especially at scale
I have 900mbps fiber internet and 3ms ping according to google's speedtest.
I expect i'll have the best case scenario to test how good the service actually is with about as little ping as you'd reasonably expect.
Here is someone playing with the best case scenario
That was one thing I was worried about before my purchase, the long term support. With the way they kill working apps for seemingly no apparent reason has me worried as to how long I can potentially invest myself in this if I seriously wanted to support it (assuming the service is actually pretty decent). Otherwise I assume I'll pay about $200 into the service (including the founder's edition) before I can solidly say if I like it or not. I feel that's a good amount to spend on it to make such a decision without it affecting my wallet too badly.
They've self-published best case scenario numbers for the input lag, so just go into you emulator of choice and add a-hundred-and-something MS delay.
looks like a shit computer with wifi.
I imagine ethernet with 3ms ping to the stadia server is better than ~5-10ms wifi ping on top of likely ~10-20ms ping from wherever that was done to the stadia server.
I'm very lucky to live ~15-20 miles from the data center google hosts from, I don't expect most people will fit this profile.
It looks like exactly what I'd expect from 189ms of self reported input lag.
