Google announces game service Stadia


Recommended Posts

Has anybody else seen this? And anybody besides me excited to see if they can deliver on the promises? Supposed to launch later this year.

The basic idea is that you can play games from any screen as long as you have a screen and controller that can connect to the internet. The games run completely on the servers and only the screen is sent back. This allows for a bunch of new concepts like saving and sharing game state with others using only a weblink, instant play (no downloading the game), and integration with online services (like youtube for sharing game content). Also means the game players don't need to buy the console and aren't stuck where the console lives as you can switch from one screen to the next. The biggest downside that I can see is needing broadband internet service that can support the video download with minimal latency.
