PS5 And Next Xbox Will Be Far More Powerful Than Stadia, Says Dev

3D Realms VP Frederik Schreiber feels the next generation of Xbox and PlayStation will outmatch the Stadia’s specs “by far”.

[Razzer]

Stadia could be the most powerful computer ever built and it wouldn't matter if latency kills the experience.

[rpvenom]

exactly. Until the day where the button input latency is a direct match to a console version.. i will never consider cloud gaming...

@343
PS now can download games. it isn't just streaming anymore

[rpvenom]

@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

[Edito]

Even if it matches the console input I will never consider because I want to own my games...

[BizarroUltraman]

@343 you can download games so that point is moot.

[AnthonyDavis]

My PC right now is much more powerful than a Stadia box

[BrettAwesome]

@AnthonyDavies
Specs, please

[AnubisG]

I won't even than because I like to own my games.

[AnthonyDavis]

4790k and 2080ti^

I know my cpu is a bit lacking but games today are more gpu bound.

[starchild]

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.

[Cobra951]

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.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

Stadia will attract the odd casual. I just can't see it taking a piece of the Xbox/ PlayStation/ Nintendo pie.

[sprinterboy]

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.

[Atom666]

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.

[Razzer]

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.

[sprinterboy]

"says dev" oh wait it's gamingbolt

[Larrysweet]

Just mean ps5 xbox 14tfp ruffly

[Kumakai]

and coincidentally enough, im pretty much only interested in sony and ms for next generation. i own both consoles now, and will own both of the next gen consoles, and sorry stadia, if streaming hulu has taught me anything its that we're miles from where we started with streaming services, but miles to go still. nintendo... release a real console and we'll talk.

[Thundercat77]

I belong to the local hardware master race 👑.

[eddvdm]

Not to mention we'll be 100% at other's "hands". If the service decides to ban you for whatever reason you lose it ALL and done. If the service decides X or Y subject, game, anything is "wrong", what do you think it will happen?

Nowadays with all this politically correct BS, give it 5 years for streaming games be the Palace of SJW. What will happen with games like GTA or any game that would slightly touch any of those subjects? Yes, those games will disappear just like 80's movies "freedom of speech" was wiped out.

Nope, thanks.

[ECHOINFINITY]

Imagine trying to play Sekiro or Bloodbourne on Stadia with input lag... I die enough already thank you.

[Gamist2dot0]

"Bay far" Hum...15-16tflops?

[Traecy]

Of course. Next.

[Tross]

Good thing I won't be buying a Stadia.

[TheColbertinator]

Cloud gaming options are already appearing everywhere so I doubt Stadia will be the only option for me.

[Einhander1971]

Couldn’t care less for Stadia, PS5 will be my next purchase of hardware.

[FanboysKiller]

Vegeta : "IT'S OVER 9 T FLOPS !!!"

''PS5 And Next Xbox Will Be Far More Powerful Than Stadia, Says Dev''
Really?????
Another stupid article from gamingbolt.

[CrimsonWing69]

Whelp that’s not good.

[DeadManMMX]

Says Dev. All you need to know to know it’s a gamingbolt article.

[SlagWolf]

I wouldn’t care if stadia is 10X more powerful. I’m never touching a streaming only game service.
It’s fine as a option for those that want it but I won’t touch it

[NeoGamer232]

There will always be a place for consoles. Anyone that is all console, PC, phone, tablet, cloud, etc. is not going to win. The company that wins will be the company that uses all of them properly and for what they are strong at. I love PCs but I almost never game on them (other then RTS games). I love the convenience of a console for gaming.

[rlow1]

My take is that even in 5 yrs your not going to have anything that can rival local hardware. Games have grown more sophisticated and polished and that bar will always rise. Long distance servers will always be at a disadvantage.

[NovusTerminus]

I live in a town with less the 9k people in it, our internet is passable on a good day, there is no way I (and the 4 other gamers in my house) are going to be able to effectively use Stadia.

I'll give a free trial a shot, but I'm not expecting it to work.

[frostypants]

Well no crap. Jesus. Gamingbolt strikes again with the obvious.

[Razuel]

2-4 more teraflops isnt exactly "far more".

[GravityMilk]

Google said Stadia will support multi GPU if the game needs multi GPU how about 4 x stadia GPU (10) = 40 Teraflops performance but still we need to test stadia service because now it's all about internet speed and most important latency.

[meep316]

Running games server side makes no sense at all.

[william_cade]

Stadia is going to suck

[gamer7804]

prediction: Stadia will go the way of google+, google reader, Allo, etc etc.
