Cool. But I have the same functionality with my current setup without having to get a service like Stadia. With my PC and Steam remote play, I can play on any TV, phone or tablet in the house, and I have a Switch too that I can undock and take anywhere I want. And all of this work without relying on an internet…

Netflix doesn’t allow you to buy movies individually. You pay, you get access to everything it has. That’s not the same thing with Stadia.

I still have an original Gameboy at home. And a GBA SP. People tend to forget how awful these screens were. We’ve been playing with very nice devices with nice screens since quite some time already. Playing these old GB devices feels like when you start playing a VHS tape. We all remember those being fine back in the…

I know. I get it. I get that it’s incredible to have this on a known, widely supported device.

My point was only that games like these running on a portable gaming device wasn’t “new”. 

There’s a whole bunch of PC games that have been playable in a portable fashion on devices like the GPD Win and Win 2. Even the Witcher 3, before this release. Granted, some games require some tinkering to work ok on these devices, but these aren’t anything new.

Same question here. I’m personnaly not aware of such apps, so I’m asking too. Why does a Chromebook needs an i7 and 16GB of RAM? I know Chrome (the browser) can be quite a resource hog sometimes (ok, most of the time), and given that Chrome OS is loosely based around the same engine, I can assume it’s going to be…

Interesting points. I can also see these services, eventually, triggering some sort of collective questionning regarding all legislation related to digital content. I think it didn’t happen before for various reasons, one of them being that most streaming services work on a subscription-based model, and it is clear…

I see a lot of people complain on here about how GamePass is bad for gamers among other things

I’m legitimately curious about how long this service will last before Google pull the plug on it for failing to be as successful as they hoped. Like they do with most of their apps/services that fail to catch on.

And how are they going to predict what players are going to do? You can’t do that unless you start building a player’s profile by recording how a player reacts during game, by analyzing what players are doing in such and such situations, and so on.

And a year or two from that, we’ll be able to make you believe, through invisible hypnotic signals in our streams, that you actually played a game without actually having played it. Creating memories, if you will. Just imagine! In exchange of a monthly fee, you’ll be able to tell all your friends that you actually…

I still feel we haven’t really left that boat. Maybe someone brought a case of colored pens at some point. But I still feel we’re in the same boat. I mean, as far as big-budget games go. Mostly.

You know, I think in a similar way. Sure, better graphics are fine, and even impressive, but in the end, it doesn’t make a better game to me. It’s like saying better explosions and effects in a movie are what makes them better.

And that’s fine too! Everyone is different. But I can’t help to feel that most big-budget games this generation feels exactly like the same big budget games from the last generation, only in a prettier dressing. Sometimes that’s perfectly fine, but over time, I only ended up caring less. I often look at new games ans…

To be frank, I’ve been playing games since the pong days, owned almost all consoles at some point or another, and this generation of consoles was the first time I’ve been feeling relatively “meh” about them. Sure, they can pump up better graphics than the generation before, but I’m finding myself less and less drawn…

being that most arcade games cost 50 cents to a full dollar in the the US.

This is why the system will eventually crash big time. And it will all be our fault, in some way. Who’s asking to constantly pay less for our goods and services? Who always end up buying on Amazon because what you want is $2 cheaper there? Who’s choosing a bank over another because they pay you 0.0002% more interest?…

I know about it. And while it looks decent (especially for the price), it also look like a cheap plastic watch that’ll break easily (I’m a clumsy guy sometimes!).

Yeah, that’s what I feared. I mean, I have a family, and we cut the cord a couple of months ago so most of what we watch is Netflix and some others streaming services, often on 2 or 3 devices at the same time, over a 25mbps connection. Which so far works fine for us. But I can’t help thinking that anything…
