Stadia officially releasing November 19th

I wonder if it'll last until November 2020. Google just killed another one of its platforms lol.

Google is discontinuing the Daydream View VR headset

Google has essentially abandoned its Daydream virtual reality platform. The company confirmed to The Verge that the new Pixel 4 phone won’t support Daydream, and Google told Variety and The Verge that it will also no longer sell the Daydream View mobile headset. It will continue to support the app — which only works on older phones — for existing users.

“There hasn’t been the broad consumer or developer adoption we had hoped, and we’ve seen decreasing usage over time of the Daydream View headset,” a spokesperson said.

Another one to add to the list here: https://killedbygoogle.com/

[h=1]Google Stadia launches Nov. 19 for those who pre-order the Founder’s Edition[/h]

The $129 bundle is still on sale

Google’s ambitious new cloud gaming service, Stadia, now has a proper launch date. Consumers who purchase the Founder’s Edition will be able to experience it first on November 19, with a wider release to follow.
Announced at this year’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Stadia will use new streaming technology to push AAA-quality games to devices via a web browser. The Founder’s Edition includes a night blue controller, a Chromecast Ultra, three months of Stadia Pro, and a three-month “Buddy Pass,” allowing consumers to share the experience with a friend. That Founder’s Edition is still up for sale.


The platform’s launch catalog is expected to include a whole host of games, including Destiny 2 and its expansions. Eventually new titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 and even Cyberpunk 2077 will land there as well. In the opening days and weeks most consumers will be paying attention to the overall quality of the experience. The Stadia Pro is said to support up to 4K/60 fps HDR video with 5.1 surround sound so long as you can maintain 35 Mbps download speeds.

The Google Stadia version of Grid has an exclusive 40 Car mode which is not 'possible on any other hardware'.

https://wccftech.com/grid-has-a-40-...-thats-just-not-possible-with-other-hardware/

Development on any new hardware is always equal parts exciting and interesting. Perhaps the area with the biggest difference was the streaming, but also the ability of Stadia to talk to other Stadia so quickly transforms some ideas around multiplayer – for example developing a whole new mode for GRID Stadia which has 40 cars on track at the same time, something that just isn’t possible with other hardware.

If not possible by other hardware they mean consoles than maybe yes. Even than it's a "maybe" Just a shitty marketing ploy if you ask me

I'll rather play on consoles than this "negative latency" LMAO somehow magic machine.

Google Stadia developers admit that the biggest concern from game developers is that Google will just cancel Stadia (like they have many other things)

"The biggest complaint most developers have with Stadia is the fear that Google is just going to cancel it," Gwen Frey, developer of Stadia launch puzzle game Kine, told GamesIndustry.biz in recently published comments. "Nobody ever says, 'Oh, it's not going to work,' or 'Streaming isn't the future.' Everyone accepts that streaming is pretty much inevitable. The biggest concern with Stadia is that it might not exist."

[h=1]Google Stadia will launch without a bunch of promised features[/h]

The Stadia team is answering questions on Reddit

Ahead of Google Stadia’s launch on Nov. 19, Google is hosting an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit. As that AMA reveals, Stadia will be missing some key features on launch day; those will start rolling out “as soon as one week after launch,” according to developers.
At launch, players will not have access to an achievements system — though achievements will be saved and recognized when the system launches “shortly” after Stadia’s release date — nor will Stadia support family sharing. Parents will be able to manage children’s “experience on Stadia” with parental controls through Family Link, but can’t share games. Developers said it’s a “high priority” feature that will launch in early 2020.
Stadia will also not support Chromecast Ultra devices that didn’t come with the Stadia bundle at launch — only the ones the streaming platform ships with. The Chromecast Ultra is used to stream games to 4K screens. It’s the only Chromecast device compatible with Stadia at launch. Google will update existing Chromecast Ultra devices “over the air soon after launch,” the developers said.



Google said its approach with Stadia’s launch is like how it does updates for Google Search, YouTube, and other services: a “gradual rollout and continuous improvement” based on user feedback. No games with Stream Connect — Stadia’s multiplayer experience — will be available at launch; developers said “the first game with Stream Connect” will launch before 2020.
Games that support State Share and Crowd Play, other multiplayer features, will be released next year. Likewise, Stadia Buddy Pass, which is a Founder’s Edition bonus, will be available two weeks after a user gets their bundle. (Buddy Pass lets players gift Stadia to someone else for a limited time.) No accessibility features are planned for launch, either; developers said “the team is working with game developers to set standards for accessibility across all games on Stadia.”
“Of course there are many more cool new platform features on the roadmap,” Stadia developers said. “We’re aiming to release new stuff weekly after 11/19.”
But it isn’t all bad news. Developers also announced something new, a Google Pixel and Stadia accessory designed to mount a phone to the Stadia controller. “We’ve designed a special accessory for Pixel and Stadia Controller,” Google said. “The official name is Claw and will be produced by our Made for Google partner PowerSupport. It will be sold exclusively through the Gstore and available for purchase in the coming weeks.”
The company also said Stadia users can use Google Play gift cards and credits to buy games through the Stadia app on Android.
This week, Google announced 12 games that will be available at launch. Fourteen additional titles are expected to be released by the end of 2019. Stadia will launch in 14 countries on Nov. 19 — but one Stadia user in the San Francisco Bay Area will get theirs hand-delivered by Stadia director of product Andrey Doronichev. Doronichev said during the AMA that he’ll drop off a Stadia on Nov. 19, “based on order received and how close you are to [his] house.”
He continued: “We can even play your first game together!”

Power of the Cloud !

Destiny 2 runs at 1080p/PC Medium settings. The 1080p is then simply up-scaled to 4K.

Must be a really small cloud.

“When streaming at 4K, we render at a native 1080p and then upsample and apply a variety of techniques to increase the overall quality of effect,” a Bungie rep said, adding that D2 runs at the PC equivalent of medium settings. That explains why the Xbox One X build, which runs at a native 4K and with higher-res assets, looks so much better than Stadia.

And Red Dead 2 runs at 1440/30 FPS with XBX equivalent settings.
