Destiny 2 feeling snappier at 30FPS on consoles than it does at 60FPS on Stadia is pretty damning. The fact that it's 1080p upscaled to 4k, and running at medium settings, completely destroys Google's argument that Stadia can replace a high end gaming PC.
I think Google would see more success if Stadia was a PC game download store, with streaming as an option. Paying full price for a game and being stuck playing it with added input lag and reduced visual quality is just not that interesting.
It is worth noting that this is specific to Destiny 2. The developers limited it (don't ask me why). RD2 on the other hand is proper 4K. It's pretty dumb that the game included w/ Stadia Pro...
It is worth noting that this is specific to Destiny 2. The developers limited it (don't ask me why). RD2 on the other hand is proper 4K.
It's pretty dumb that the game included w/ Stadia Pro doesn't actually take advantage of the 4K/60 it's capable of though.
I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but Digital Foundry released an analysis of RDR2 today, comparing Stadia, PC, and Xbox One X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6y4MnlFLNE

This whole trend toward streaming games seems ridiculous to me given current consumer bandwidth offerings from ISPS in most markets. The idea that I would have to restrict any other devices on my network from doing anything intensive while using the service is a regression back to the 90s when you had to choose between hooking up your land line to your modem or your phone. Sure, if Google can actually sucker people into paying for Google’s internet service, on top of the top tier Stadia service, and buy games on the platform, this is surely good business for Google. I just can’t imagine the market for people who are willing to spend that kind of money on gaming who wouldn’t rather put that toward a console or PC, where you arguably are getting a better, more consistent experience.
Yep, This isn't going anywhere, it's worse than the hardware high-end gamers have, and too much bandwidth for low-end consumers. The 30 mbps game stream seems like it was passed through a YTP...
Yep, This isn't going anywhere, it's worse than the hardware high-end gamers have, and too much bandwidth for low-end consumers. The 30 mbps game stream seems like it was passed through a YTP filter, (which is still more bandwidth than what I have) and the best they could offer still doesn't match home computing.
