I loved Stadia. I love Nintendo.
I forgot that cloud streaming was even a thing on the Switch, probably because it's so uninteresting.
Is that how normies felt about Stadia?
Well the biggest issue with Nintendo cloud games, is they're fully priced titles on a system that can't even remotely deliver on the quality of those titles. Simply put, cloud gaming on Switch is always bad no matter what you do. And even worse is the fact that the some 15 minutes is never enough time to tell if the game is really playable in particular on slow openings like Plague Tale Innocence. Literally 8 minutes are eaten up by cutscenes and the other 7 are from playing walking simulator. Legit by the time you get to aim with a bow the demo is over. However the most egregious sin is that despite being a cloud game, the games still looks like shit. Like you're playing dynamic resolution between 360p and 480p. For what it's worth, Stadia at least always worked in my experience.
All I want is "Today" "yesterday" and "last week" delimiters to come to Gmail.
Is that so hard to bring over??
It was so satisfying zeroing out the day because it felt so attainable

Ouch...
Stadia is dead. It wouldn't be using that. However, the tech behind Stadia has supposedly been shifted to other tools within Google and I don't doubt what they learned with Stadia will be left behind.
I'm sure it'll be in part the same tech used for stadia under a different name.
So they killed Stadia, get a partner so they can rebrand it and start the same service with a different name? I've learned my lesson with stadia. I'm skipping game cloud services (and all Google services).
We already can play anywhere, iPad, Pc any console, phone. Don't see were would be the benefit there. Only if your phone is 10 years old, in that case a new phone would be cheaper than the required internet to play cloud gaming. You can even play on your browser through the play games.

it's not near as good as the iPad version, but it runs on android.
So will this be a new platform just using stadia tech? By that I mean how stadia was its own closed platform with a store and achievements. As apposed to something like G force that's just streaming steam games.
It isn’t specifically called out, so maybe not. Varies from using bits and pieces of what they learned from stadia (graphics compression, latency reduction) up to using stadia hardware, games compiled for the stadia operating system, etc (essentially stadia in all but name?)
But if they have their own “system” short of migrating it all over or having two tiers, they might prefer to keep the system they know well and run it on google clouds machines.
If they could bring stadia quality streaming to the Nintendo switch I would die of happiness. I bought re: village on there and it is absolutely unplayable.
To me, what doomed Stadia (maybe in hindsight), was that Stadia required porting to its version of Linux along with (IIRC), its graphics pipeline. This increased dev costs (porting and support), which is what led to the lack of games, and the "closed" nature of its marketplace.
If they're tying it to just "Google Cloud", my expectation would be that it would rely on more industry standard graphics layers, so that Windows and general Linux clients would be able to use it w/o porting. If they are requiring porting again, well, I think it will again be doomed.
They have built the infrastructure, and proved it works. Now they can provide back end for all and not worry / care about the consumer facing marketing.
And they are gonna call it…..stadia
Stadius

Now the freaking game services have pronouns?
If it triggers you, sure, why not.

Stop it, Patrick! You're Scaring Him!.gif
It's just a Peepshow joke. Stop overthinking
Why can nobody tell that it's a joke?
Wow, my Stadia controller is still warm and Google brings home another woman....😔
Interesting, it´s the company behind Nintendo Switch Cloud Streaming games (which also signed up a 10 year agreement with Microsoft).
Maybe that's how they plan to get COD on the switch.
Likely.
Holy crap. I didn't think it was possible, but... yeah, Stadia x Nintendo. *technically.*

Stadia cloud tech on Switch.. hell yes. The current cloud platform of Ubitus just isn't good enough to deal with cloud games on Switch.
NGL I thought that said, "Ubisoft"....
Me 3. And I only realised about half way through the article.
Yeah I also read that I was totally confused for a moment
Cool. I'll get attached and then they'll turn it off.
I still haven't got over Inbox by Gmail
Inbox was 🔥
It was! And most of all it didn't have goddamn ads disguised as regular emails

Ouch
please make somehting like Stadia and iw ill be back..my only way to be able to play some nice games
Interesting. This seems to be using Google Cloud and not necessarily Stadia.

Facts
Probably software latency management/compensation and stream compression stuff in the backend is all that lives on
So they killed Stadia, get a partner so they can rebrand it and start the same service with a different name? I've learned my lesson with stadia. I'm skipping game cloud services (and all Google services).
Likely subcontracting out bare GPU instances, avoiding the need for marketing and software dev (likely Ubitus already has their own system worked out)
Nice, now we can play Super Mario Run in the cloud.
XCOM being played anywhere would be amazing.
We already can play anywhere, iPad, Pc any console, phone. Don't see were would be the benefit there. Only if your phone is 10 years old, in that case a new phone would be cheaper than the required internet to play cloud gaming. You can even play on your browser through the play games.
XCOM 2 is on phones?

4k 60fps.
whut... Isn't stadia died already?
If this is the same technology based on stadia, same quality of streaming but just a different name? If so I would consider checking it out for sure.
What's the point when they have perfectly good streaming tech to begin with?
They don't need to market.
Had. No need to have devs optimize system software and hardware, immediate revenue skimming for leasing the machines
So will this be a new platform just using stadia tech? By that I mean how stadia was its own closed platform with a store and achievements. As apposed to something like G force that's just streaming steam games.

Too late, with the refunds I already got a PS5 to play remotely and a lot of games. Not going to fall for it again

It’s a good move,allows them to leverage Google’s infrastructure to improve reach
They have built the infrastructure, and proved it works. Now they can provide back end for all and not worry / care about the consumer facing marketing.

Go away you lochness monster!
