You guys keep tagging me with alerts so I can't get through all your hate spam at this time, but I leave you with this.

Google is 100% omitted to supporting Stadia with over 120 games in software for this year. More than 10 will be Stadia only.

Google Stadia promises more than 120 games in 2020, including 10 exclusives

Stadia is also coming to more Android phones.

www.theverge.com

Google said today that it’s on track to bring more than 120 games to its cloud gaming service Stadia in 2020 and is planning to offer more than 10 Stadia-exclusive games for the first half of the year.

That would be a pretty massive jump from the 26 games and one exclusive that are currently available, and all in a little more than a year after the service’s launch, if those projections hold true.

Previously, Google had only explicitly confirmed four games for 2020, so this news was much needed to let early adopters know there are a lot more games on the way.
Google also announced other updates rolling out to Stadia over the next three months, including 4K gaming on the web, support for more Android phones (it’s currently only available on Google’s Pixels),

wireless gameplay on the web through the Stadia controller (you currently have to plug in a cable), and “further [Google] Assistant functionality” when playing Stadia through a browser. The company said in October that it’s building out a few first-party studios to eventually make that a reality.

People saying they abandoned the platform but look at this, WHAM 120 games and more is 100% confirmed, and tons of exclusives are also over 100% confirmed.

So how about we stop with the bias and realize that you have to crawl before you sprint. PlayStation X only sold a few hundred thousand in the 90's and then it became a big hit selling over 100 million, Same can happen here.

Comparing playstation to stadia is foolish. Stadia has way more problems than Sony ever did in the gaming space.

Is the Playstation X releasing in the year 2020 this year?

[Oddspeak]

Something about the phrase "Stadia exclusive" gives me acid reflux.

 

[01011001]

Stadia sucks, it will forever suck, even if they get 10 >>TIMED<< exclusives it still sucks...

bad image quality and bad gameplay can never be outweighed by a handful of timed exclusives, especially if they are the quality if the current timed exclusive games lol.

 

[Fbh]

And how many of them will be blurry, less responsive and more expensive ports of stuff we can already play everywhere else?

 

[VertigoOA]

BASURA

 

[NickFire]

Does anyone, other than maybe Voost, really think a single one of these exclusives will amount to much? I don't know about you all, but it seems rather far fetched to me that any dev/pub with something solid is thinking "let's go Stadia only."

 

[sdrawkcab]

That's all well and good, but I truly believe no one give a fnck.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

And I promise to ignore it 100% of the time.

Thanks google, you’re pretty good at searches, but when I want to play a game with a 16 hour input delay, I’ll play killzone shadowfall.

 

[VertigoOA]

Exclusives won’t mean shit. The fact that game progress isn’t tied to pc versions or some kind of local game and real hardware is stupid. It’s a supplementary device designed for portability yet. It will not replace real hardware... input lag is game breaking.

 

[MeatSafeMurderer]

Google ... abandoned the platform ... 100% confirmed ... over 100% confirmed.

Wow...OP is on to something here!

 

[Afro Republican]

Lol these are timed exclusives, likely Indie games:

Google Stadia is Getting at Least 10 Timed Exclusives This Year | Digital Trends

Google revealed that its Stadia game streaming service will get at least 10 timed exclusives through the first half of 2020, with more than 120 games releasing on the platform this year. It will also be getting improvements to several features, including using Google Assistant when gaming on the...

www.digitaltrends.com

Google said these games will be “only available on Stadia when they launch,” which suggests that they are likely timed exclusives rather than permanent exclusives developed internally.

How can Stadia have real exclusives when they closed their post-launch Internal Studio and just brought Typhoon Studios to replace it a few weeks ago?

The 120 games will probably be ports of Mortal Kombat and COD, where it takes 30 seconds for you to do a special move or collect and fire your gun. By then the console and PC players already killed you at the same respawn point 30 times by the time you had fired a single shot.

It's like playing Bowser against Meta Knight online in Smash Bros. Brawl but much worse.

Also look at Google copying Microsoft, watch them have a presentation and have an announcer say "Stadia console launch exclusive!" before every trailer, like how it was at the Xbox One X E3 conference.

Going to be interesting seeing who flops harder between Google and Amazon in the games department.

My money is on Google, thanks to their 'use filters to change the world' abomination of a game.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Streaming is fundamentally flawed and inferior way of playing games, and no amount of exclusives can change that.

As an optional, small part of a platform holders wider strategy of delivering games, it can have a niche role to play, but when that's all you offer, you're not really offering anything of value at all.

Thanks voost for supporting stadia
it needs more luv

Google promises a lot of shit and so far hasn’t delivered anything good for Stadia.

Even the author of the article doesn't seemed stoked about Stadia

Google dosent have the gonads to pay exclusivity for anything anyone cares enough about.

If they wanted to throw money to make this work they would have done that when it launched.

they know its going to fail .. it’s I’m limp mode... for another 18 months until they announce “it didn’t resonate with our users as much as we anticipated.”

Seems like pretty much everything under the sun can be played on PC in due time.

 

[Jubenhimer]

My hatred for the rainbow letter company aside, I actually do want Stadia to improve and succeed. If only because I want more competition in the gaming platform space. It gets kind of boring seeing Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft all the time, so more players is always welcome. That said, they better have some damn exclusives ready this year, and also fix the quality of their service as well. Constantly seeing reports of "Blurry" and "Less responsive" isn't a good sign.

 

[nowhat]

How many of them will be 4K/60fps?

(so far, the answer is 0%, and that doesn't account for the input lag)

 

[AGRacing]

Google’s parent company Alphabet hit 1 trillion dollars today. 1 trillion. Where’s the investment in a AAA studio or two!? Hell.... splurge and buy 3.... you’re worth A TRILLION FRICKEN DOLLARS!!!

These guys don't even take themselves seriously yet. Why am I supposed to?

I was actually excited when I first heard that Google was getting into the gaming arena, but I had assumed they would be making a stand alone console, not this bastardization of gaming. Their business model is severely flawed...

Stadia has the potential to cater to the emerging streaming market, and occupy its own niche in gaming as a successful platform. But Google needs to actually get it to that point. Stadia's biggest problem is that it was rushed out the door. Buggy, blurry, and half-finnished, with most of its library being ports you can get better versions of on other platforms. They couldn't even be bothered to get first party games ready for launch, when even Microsoft figured that shit out in 2001. It can get better overtime, but Google needs to actually listen to feedback and improve the quality as time progresses. This is Google we're talking about, so I don't know about the former, but hey, it's good to hope.

Totally agree, I think if they just eliminated the whole having to purchase the game part and only charged a monthly fee for unlimited gaming on their service (even if the games aren't the latest and greatest) I think it would bring a lot of new people into the gaming world, I just don't want to see the whole industry go down this path, otherwise it will be a bleak future...

I actually don't mind the pay-individually buisness model for Stadia either. The problem, is that the games cost just as much on other platforms. I get why that's the case, so that retailers aren't pissed off, but if they're going down the streaming route, why not make the games cost less since there's no physical media or downloads to worry about? I think the most ideal solution, would be a hybrid model. You have the option to use Stadia for free, abiet you need to purchase each game seperately, but you can also get a "Stadia Unlimited" subscription play all the games you want for a monthly fee.

That would be more ideal, but as it is right now it feels like they are double dipping by charging a fee to use it and then making you pay for the game.

That's the problem. Right now, Stadia is trying to mimic the setup of a traditional console, but it doesn't really get that what works for a plastic box and local hardware, doesn't translate nearly as well to cloud gaming.

 

[Deleted member 740922]

So how about we stop with the bias

You first then.

 

[jshackles]

Supposedly, later this year they'll be dropping the "requirement" for the monthly fee. It'll be optional just like Xbox Live Gold and/or Playstation Plus.

But the biggest downside to not having it will be that you'll be limited to 1080p gameplay.

Honest question and not trolling. Why are you fighting this fight so vehemently? Are you working at the marketing department of Stadia? Or why are you promoting this fucking streaming future? Why is this good for you?

 

[Solarstrike]

I admit it. I bought a Stadia Founder Edition awhile back. It's still sitting in it's plastic sealed box now in storage. A part of me says to open it and give it a go, another part of me says don't because it'll be worth something someday, and still another says if i don't open it and connect it to the internet Google will send some sort of deactivation code along with a high frequency signal that will liquify the brain as punishment for waiting. So i'm just gonna wait it out and see what good games are on the way along with my tinfoil hat, just in case.

Looking at our upcoming lineup, we are tracking more than 120 games coming to Stadia in 2020, and are targeting more than ten games in the first half of this year alone that will be only available on Stadia when they launch.

120 games would be ok for a game, but it's a too small number for a year. If the number isn't like 10x time bigger I think Stadia won't last many years more.
