From GameWatcher: "Bombshell launched late last week for the PC, with various publications proclaiming it a major dud, including our very own Dustin Bailey, who gave it a 4.5/10 saying “Bombshell isn’t the worst game I’ve ever played, but it’s among the most dull and uninteresting.”. It didn't fare much better with Steam's user reviews, but at least it's a little bit more mixed than the average score of 41 on Metacritic."
3D Realms’ Frederik Schreiber and Scott Miller expect to see “faster loading times, faster streaming, better AI,” and more.
“it will allow faster loading times, faster streaming, better AI, and, of course, 60 FPS and 4K much more often.”
Having 4K 60fps much more often sounds great.
Forget 8k... People are still getting into 4k. We aren't about to skip 4k to get to 8k anytime soon. 8k is at least a generation away since we don't even have solid 4k cable broadcasts yet
Screw both put that horse power into the graphics and action on screen. Don't even have the TV to support those
8K wont even be possible on Ultra spec 5000+ dollars PCs from 2022 let alone consoles made in mid 2020. Lets not kid ourselves, lets hope next gen gives us 4K 60fps on high settings and better AI, Physics, animations etc, that should be more than enough.
Do you know a developer isnt going to risk their creatively just to make you feel like your PC component purchases was worth it.
8K is a stupid thing to focus on. Console gaming is just starting to get its teeth into proper 4K (none of that checkerboard stuff), 8K is still a long way away. 8K is the future of course but not any time soon.
Bro pc's arent even hitting 8k yet, This will be the gen where the consoles will outperform MANY pc's. At least any pc with a 2070 or less. Sorry pc gamers, time for you to spend the $1300 for a 2080 or just buy an XSX for $499
U will never ever ever see a native 8k game at 20fps even on next gen consoles forget it

Lulz. Not sure why I got a disagree for mocking them. I guess there are Gamingbolt fanboys on this site.
Oh gamingbolt, who else to tell me the same predictable vague story every single week?
3D Realms VP Frederik Schreiber feels we are "at least 20 years" away from being at a stage where Stadia will be a properly viable and widespread gaming solution.
Yeah: for instance Microsoft is under the gun for providing exclusive first party content. And Even they say this quote from article :"Microsoft – who will be its direct competitors with their own xCloud – feel Stadia will lack the content to drive the kind of engagement Google will want to see."
Now if the class clown calls you a clown, I think your a clown. (not calling Microsoft a clown just using a saying).
I know "we know" but seeing as 90% do not read articles before commenting, never the less read a second link in the article. I thought I should quote the second link in the article: " His response was a concise one, saying he doesn’t see Stadia as “being relevant at this point”, and stating that Sony’s and Microsoft’s consoles will exceed Stadia’s specs “by far"".
So there you have it the 'power' of the cloud! LOL. He said BY FAR PS5 and xb4 will exceed stadia's power. Nice
Stadia won't exist in 20 years, it will be lucky to last more than a couple years really.

Playing locally is better than playing on a computer many many miles away. Every time. Doesn’t matter if it is Stadia, xCloud, or PS Now.
One of the biggest things that excite me is another possible way to play my games when I don’t have my console. ESP cloud simply bc I will have a my Xbox console at home.
Just another option to play. And to be honest, I’m stoked.
Exactly. Its just a way to keep playing when you cant access your console. Its similar to remote play like option that can never be as good as your console. Problem is they market it as an independent new platform that doesnt need local hardware and are going to target a more casual audience, and focus more on that audience to the detriment of the more dedicated audience.
you could always get a switch, but I do agree it wouldn't be bad to have xcloud as an option. I just don't think stadia will have many games I want to play away from home. Also I see this destroying my cellphone data plan, where having a switch or a handheld would eliminate that.
Yeah I will use it for that too but it will be many many years if ever before it can meetvthe quality of local dedicated hardware
If it were an added feature to ones account, its be great for everyone. It can be good for individuals who dont want to buy a console. But as a primary source for many gamers, all these services come up lacking and have many downsides which need to be overcome
Customers will decide which is the better option. In this time and age average internet bandwidth will not allow a comparable expoerience between Stadia and consoles. For some people might be a good alterantive to buying expensive hardware .. i will stick with PS5 and XBOX2 as I like to own what I pay for.
Peace
I think both next gen consoles are going to be kick ass so unless they make stadia so cheap n easy I doubt it will be many gamers primary platform
3D Realms VP Frederik Schreiber feels the next generation of Xbox and PlayStation will outmatch the Stadia’s specs “by far”.
Stadia could be the most powerful computer ever built and it wouldn't matter if latency kills the experience.
exactly. Until the day where the button input latency is a direct match to a console version.. i will never consider cloud gaming...
@343_Guilty_Spark
Whose comments are you reading? Not one of my comments hype up PS NOW.
I'm a sony fan boy and I'll admit that but never have I said anything about PSNOW
Even if it matches the console input I will never consider because I want to own my games...
4790k and 2080ti^
I know my cpu is a bit lacking but games today are more gpu bound.
I agree. Latency and occasional drops/pauses ruins the experience for me. Local hardware is superior to me. The only use I would have for streaming is to be able to play my game collection on a portable device while away from home. But it will probably be some time from now until that offers a decent experience. Local hardware at home will continue to be my preferred way to play.
They don't even need to be, if they make Stadias a super computer. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, have already established a base consumer. They will buy their console, for the brand, and the games. Microsoft, is going to be interesting next gen. Not to say Sony won't be, I just think, like Nintendo, they are doing their own thing. Going down a, less traditional path. I will have to wait and see.
What would be the point of making Stadia a supercomputer, if the goal is streaming, where the box at your end acts more like a terminal than a full computer? It needs to detect your game inputs, replay an AV stream, and connect to the internet so the data can flow to and from the remote system running the game. That's all. A phone can do it.
Stadia will attract the odd casual. I just can't see it taking a piece of the Xbox/ PlayStation/ Nintendo pie.
Agreed, I still think its a gen away from working correctly. Stadia launch and 1st 5 years approx will be casuals who think its just about good enough and Google will use that time to improve the services ready for when it does work correctly.
The nxt 5 years for stadia will be basically putting the chess pieces in place with new in-house devs/studios and a AAA library of games imo.
Sadly the day will come in the nxt 10 years or so and we will see the death of the console.
My psn friend said our ps5 launch party and opening and holding the console for the 1st time could potentially be our last? Seriously I've been gaming for 37yrs and that really upsets me that it might be the last :( will be a sad day indeed so when you open up your ps5 or xbox just remember to cherish that moment as it could be the last.
Yeah, and I still don't think the focus is aimed at taking on consoles right away anyway. These will all be PC games technically, right? I really think PC gaming and mobile gamers are the primary focus to start.
I'm more intrigued by a chance that Google takes on Steam with a storefront that offers streaming per subscription, streaming per purchase, and a full purchase/download version.
That approach would be far more likely to make a dent in the business than offering something that is really only going to attract the occasional casual or curious gamer who just wants to try it out.
We'll see what they decide to do I guess.
Stadia is all about convenience, first and foremost. The quality of the gaming is secondary. This may be fine for some casuals, as you say, but not for hardcore gaming enthusiasts.
LOL I smell damage control.
