    This ground breaking service from one of the biggest companies this planet has ever seen will be releasing this product this year (they've been testing it with great reviews already). We can see for ourselves soon.

    Streaming games has been the next logical progression, and better to get in on it as the front-runner then not. i used to piss on mobile games, and now that's what I mostly play, albeit emulated on PC. This will be no different, and eventually it's going to combine VR/augmented reality into it and at that point, we'll be in our own, happy little matrices.

    Between comments from xbox and Sony, they're both working on this and shocked how great this is looking. They must be a little worried.

    I'd love nothing more than to not have to buy a new PC and new gaming consoles every few years. I just dropped $1200 on a new PC and it sucked and that's not even a lot of money when it comes to computers.

    I was considering trying Shadow out as they give you your own PC (in the cloud) and they upgrade it so that it stays up-to-date. I just read too many negatives about input lag and internet connectivity to try it (although part of me wishes I did).

    I'm just skeptical.

    Yea they're both looking at this realizing that it destroys their console market for selling hardware. Who needs a PS4 when a chromebook can run the same game at higher fidelity than you were getting with your console.

    Yup. If Google delivers this just changes gaming forever. From the dev side this is even better.

    If you're looking to stream games from your desktop to other hardware, you can check out moonlight game streaming. It's free and it uses nvidia's shield protocol. Can stream to android/ios/windows machines, might even be more OS supported I haven't looked in a while.

    https://moonlight-stream.org/

    I wouldn't recommend playing FPS games on it but eveything else worked great for me.

    I have a foolproof argument against streaming games. And here is exhibit A:

    There are just far too many "what ifs" to just go ahead and say this will "change gaming forever". There are just far too many places with inconsistent internet or data caps or whatever to realistically believe this is a great solution for everyone. And as was said already, Google already lost against ISPs once, even though they are a huge company, I just don't see them really changing how ISPs screw people over in this country or others.

    And I seem to be more and more in the minority related to this, but I still like to own my games, not be permanently renting them.

    edit: ^ and yeah, I forgot about games that could just vanish for whatever reason developers/publishers decide to pull games for.

    This is more than just an online console. This changes how games are developed, the time and scale that they can be developed. This changes how publishers work, and whether companies like Nintendo can compete when the smart phone is now a screen for console titles.

    You know this is the path it was going cause Sony and MS have been working on it too. But even they don't have Google fuck you money, resources, infrastructure all in place like that search engine that pulls results in fractions of a second.

    Fighting games are a small concern, cause the only people that really care are the people who play locally or in tournaments, cause everyone else is already playing online with likely the same if not less lag considering all the processing is 100% done server side. Things like 5g only make this a better idea with how low latency it is. No more lengthy and expensive console designs and roll outs. No more lengthy update downloads, driver downloads, etc. If, and it's a big if, they pull this off it has soooooo much potential to change everything.

    google gives up on anything that isn't a massive hit, i would be very worried about throwing money at this. that's also why at the end of the day all they have is a browser and ads..

    see: hangouts, google fiber, actually i don't really want to listen them all there is a website for that: https://killedbygoogle.com/

    what? MS has far more money than google.. do you just spout shit out your ass and hope it's right?

    My only thing would be who owns the games and what happens if you want to play a game like 5 years later, is it still there?

    Most of us are not hating on it, we're expressing doubt whether it is feasible in the current environment.
