June is almost at its end and it’s time to announce the best games coming out in July 2020! Last month we had The Last of Us II, The Outer Worlds, Disintegration and so many other amazing games, and I can tell you that July has some big stuff coming out as well.
As Google bids farewell to Stadia, recent events surrounding gaming industry hints that the tech giant might have closed shopped prematurely.
"So, it wouldn't be far off to imagine a scenario where Microsoft would have signed a 10-year"
Like that would have saved Stadia. Ridiculously naive premise
No, it shot itself in the foot by not delivering on anything they promised. Besides the browser and multi device launching being easy, they failed to deliver on any other of their highly touted selling points. No game ran at 4k, or 60fps, or even at high settings let alone all 3 together. And honestly had some of the worst latency of any streaming service.
No reason to give Microsoft a reason to tout another stupid "10 year deal" with cloud services that no one has ever heard of or uses.
Microsoft announces 10 year deal to bring Gamepass to LG refrigerators!!
lets not pretend that streaming games is great. and ms cant change that with their deals.
Is Stadia dead? No! Stadia’s heart beat is alive and well. Despite the perpetual declarations of Stadia’s death since even before the platform’s release, Stadia has continued to evolve, to release games (nearly 300!), to release new platform features and to expand to new territories.
I can tell you that p.r. firms no longer flood my inbox telling me which games are being released for it.
No
But it’s time is running out Nintendo and VR is waiting for it in gaming hell
@sensor did you play with it?
I did and YES it’s in gaming hell
Regardless of what Nintendo fans think or wish for 🤷🏿
@sensorchip, I think he is referring to Nintendo labo vr not Nintendo and vr separately
VR is only getting bigger. Nintendo is doing superbly. Not sure where you are pulling your opinion from.
@ cluclap
I’m talking about the 90’s VR aka virtual boy that was dead on arrival like stadia.
Anyways let me stop here before I get flagged and send to sit outside in the ice thunderstorm
It should have died years ago but like a 1980's shitty horror movie with shitty sequels this thing will just not die.
Should have been DOA. Arguably it was for practical purposes. I don't know a single person who has it. It's the Atari Jaguar of cloud gaming services.
Google wasn't ready. They tried to deliver something good on paper, but messy behind the scenes.
Once the promises on the founders pack expired and still weren't realized, Stadia was done.
With more preparation, it could have been a whole different story.
Maybe the higher brass was pushing deadlines?
Maybe the competition was too much?
Maybe Covid stopped progress already mapped out for success?
We may never know everything about the Stadia startup, but it was a bold move, I'll give them that.
It was practically DOA. It's just taking longer to fail because the company behind it has money to burn.
Resident Evil Re:Verse is releasing on Google Stadia, according to a recent rating from the European video game content rating system, PEGI.
Google were nearly on the right track with Stadia. If they added storage so that it wasn't just a streambox it could have really taken off. As one of the big five, they have the resources to acquire a big stable of first party studios but sadly they are too impatient and have left it to rot like many of their projects.
Whether the N4G community likes it or not, digital is the future (i'm convinced next gen will be digital only) and has so many advantages over physical. Too bad this site hate it based purely on big bad MS leading it.
"Google were nearly on the right track with Stadia. If they added storage so that it wasn't just a streambox"
Then they would of had to release a console and people didn't/don't trust Google with a cheap £50 chrome cast + stadia sub. Never mind dropping £300-£400 on a console that has enough power to play these new games. Only for Google to drop support on it a year or two later.
in the future you will own nothing and be happy about it. LOL no......you can see yourself out
