It's literally nothing like OUYA.. I don't really get the comparison.

Stadia is cloud gaming, that's a local device.
Stadia uses data centers streamed to your TV, OUYA is a local device.
Stadia is backed by a huge corporate conglomerate, OUYA was a small indie dev.
Stadia has a future, OUYA died immediately.

It's a joke when people even remotely compare the two, they are nothing alike. It's like saying a 4-door sedan is the equivalent to a street racing car. It might be able to carry you from point A to point B, but they are going to do so completely differently.

It's rather presumptious to say that Stadia has a future, given Google's track record.

Fact is, cloud gaming probably is the future, but Stadia aint it. The world's internet structure is far from ready for it, and likely won't be ready on a consistently-available level for another decade. Until cloud gaming can provide a better, more convenient platform at comparable cost, it's dead, Jim.

I don't know most the problems I see is coming from America. I have seen a lot of people complain but the comments are filled with people from Germany or the like talk about how great Stadia works for them. I just think America has crappy internet.

Oh, it does. But we are still talking about one of the largest gaming markets in the world and Google's home country.

I never heard of the OUYA. This is funny

It gets a lot of flack for being a Kickstarter flop. Thing is, they pretty much delivered the thing. It's just that the thing wasn't actually the second coming of Playstation like some people weirdly expected it to be. In fact, it was just a bad idea from the start.

Threw mine away, was fun for 3 months but woefully undersupported.

Stadia doesn't need to work for most people. It only needs to work for some people, and be good enough that those people will actually use it.

I think there are enough people with good enough internet. It'll be more important question whether those people find a reason to use it regularly.

The problem with this logic is that this is google we're talking about. Unless it has a wide audience, this thing wont be worth the long term investment to them.

That's a terrible business model though.

But since it's Google we're talking about, they can keep on investing and waiting as the net connections improve as long as the product is good. They don't need the profit to be immediate, as long as it looks like they're buying themselves a good strategic position.

I got mine in the mail and the code within the same hour (Canada). . tried on browser. . (because I was going to just return it after the outrage) I used my 360 controller and didn't notice any input lag at all and the games looked great.

My problem is that Red Dead 2 is 79.99 (CDN) and Epic sells it for 59.99 (CDN) or I could have bought for xbox today for $39 (CDN) new on sale. most stores sell physical copies for $79 here but still. Also. . almost all games in the store have a discount for Pro users that is pretty substsantial. . except. . yeah. . the one game I was planning to buy and play on my big arsed TV. I will hook it up later and test when everyone is watching Plex and Netflix.

I will keep the box just in case it doesn't work for me but aside from game prices the actual service ran very smoothly. Played both games included . . no way that fighting game is worth $79 either. . seriously.

No, the Ouya didn't die immediately (I still have mine though it's been unplugged for years); I seem to recall it had a good couple years or so, and it's an intriguing piece of kit although it ultimately failed.

The Vendetta Online devs ported their game to it (natch):

My issue is you are overpaying just for the ability to play anywhere.

Which to me is fucking worthless.

If Stadia adopted the same model as Audible, I would jump all over it in a heartbeat.

Maybe Amazon will see an opportunity to swoop in and do exactly that.

But until that happens, honestly, whats the fucking point of overpaying for what I could get cheaper physically with zero concerns of internet , connectivity bullshit and etc?????

There isn't one.

This will be the future no doubt about it. But unless Google gets their shit together it will just be another of their many cool failures.

After Glass and Daydream, I'm not very confident about Google's strategy when it comes to hardware.

I just set up the controller and chromecast. I was actually super impressed with the quality of the video on the 4K TV. I was happy to see the HDR logo come on as well (this was a noticeable improvement over my 1080 monitor. . the lighting was nice. . although not Raytracing I suppose. . which I also don't have). Someone was watching netflix as well at the same time. I have a 100 Mbps connection. No noticable lag at all on the fighting game. I will give it 5 days and if all works well I will bight down and pay the premium for RDR2. If I see a crappy display once I will send it back.

So far I have no complaints aside from the price of games. It was nice to go from the TV to my computer seemlessly. . have not tried on phone yet.

For me it works just as described. I didn't like not getting it on the 19th but I didn't order until September. I am guessing way more people in the US ordered. . maybe I am the only one accessing the data centre here

I live in a city but a small one that is considered Rural.

I was seriously considering returning but I want to see what they do.
