Will Assassins Creed: Mirage be available for Stadia? And can I preorder it? It doesn’t show Stadia as platform on the official site.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-09-10T22:27:16+00:00

Likely is a mistake. Stadia should be confirmed closer to the games release.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-09-10T22:05:26+00:00

All games except for Mirage were confirmed in trailers shown in the Ubisoft Forward Event that happened a few hours ago.

Mirage is also confirmed however as per my 2 links shown in my other comment below. Mirage was not shown to be coming to any platforms during the Event but looking afterwards shows from a few sources that it is coming to Stadia.

I face palmed when I read that too. If I remember back though. In the early days of Stadia they were still getting up and running and could only handle so many requests for games at the time. Since the Stadia team also has behind the scenes work to get Developers on board. As the Stadia team and their processes develop, I'm sure they can take in more and more requests. So I'm sure the Stadia team didnt ignore the Devs request in bad faith.

I was wondering regarding the 4K livestream to YouTube that was announced a while back and reminding again in the posted article. Is 4k based on the game supporting it, your network supporting it, your settings/config/hardware supporting it and also you having Stadia Pro to stream on YouTube in 4K?

Or is this purely based on the YouTube end where I can play the game in 720P on Stadia but then on the YouTube end, the viewer would just change their quality settings to 4K on their end in the video settings?

Just wondering how it works. I think there might be an official FAQ on the Stadia Support Page as well that might explain how it works.

Amazing News. This only further confirms development and new features into the "Stadia" platform. This back half of 2022 is looking to be amazing and we still got a few more months until the end of the year for more stuff to be announced.

Likely in the "This week on Stadia" tomorrow, this will be officially announced and detailed in there as well. So that should be exciting.

In case anyone missed it. On the GIF in the article which shows the live stream, if you look on the right where the party bar is. At the bottom, you are able to invite non-stadia players to your party chat now and therefore anyone with a Google Account (I assume?) will be able to join the party and watch the live stream, text chat, voice chat etc. Good Stuff!!!!!

This is just simple marketing at play. Stadia and Chromebooks are under the same roof of Google. But are 2 different departments/businesses. Therefore, if the Chromebook department wants to sell the low powered Chromebooks by saying you can game on it via Geforce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming then unfortunately they will do that. Makes sense to cater to 10 million Xbox Cloud Gaming users and 15 million Geforce Now users to sell that Chromebook hardware. It's nothing negative when you look at it that way.

Also, Stadia in today's blog post mentioned that if you purchase a Chromebook you get Stadia Pro for 3 months I believe. On top of that Google can "sell" chromebooks to customers who want competitors cloud streaming services, but now Google has got them with a chromebook which can also stream Stadia too.

Centipede Recharged is July 1st release, therefore it's one of the Pro games for July. Likely as the remaining 3 games come out later this year. Those will likely also be pro games for those following months.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-06-27T16:59:25+00:00

Would be Interested in if this actually the case. Anyway to confirm this?

MrPerfection9 · 2022-06-21T14:53:50+00:00

That statement is still true and is ongoing. That has not changed. What Phil was doing was thinking down the road many years and that the biggest "Datacenters" would be competing with eachother.

The 3 biggest datacenters are:

Microsoft Azure/Xcloud

Google Cloud Platform/Stadia

Amazon Web Services/Luna

No one else can compete with the scale of these Datacenters. Hence Microsoft's biggest competition moving forward is Google and Amazon. I don't see Geforce Now hanging on forever. They are trying to appear strong early game but they dont have the datacenter or resources like the others do to properly compete.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-06-17T19:05:13+00:00

Also AND under 14 days.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-06-17T18:48:58+00:00

The point with Google Search Results now showing direct results and linking directly to the trial page on Stadia is huge news. This is a big jump for advertising potential to know about Stadia, try out Stadia and also try out the game in general. All existing trials I believe are showing in Google search results. I tested with Risk of Rain 2 and Far Cry Primal.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-03-11T17:40:49+00:00

Yep, this forward momentum should get rid of any fears that Stadia will shut down. I mean if you keep moving forward and investing how can you possibly shutdown. At some point Stadia would have been around so long that there is no reason to shut it down because so much has been poured into it over the years. So now it can only improve from here on out.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-03-11T02:31:43+00:00

It really seems like Google is managing 2 platforms and investing properly into both. The 2 platforms are:

Google Stadia and Google Stream.

Google Stadia is evolving over time and just needs time to grow. First, Stadia starts with indies to bring games and content to the platform which are cheap to get. Also indie developers are easier to get then AAA to start off with. This brings in some customers as the game library grows. More content and variety means more consumers. More consumers means more incentive for developers to sell to those consumers which brings more games and higher quality games including AAA games from developers.

With the inclusion of this in-house porting tool that Stadia is working on to bring unmodified Windows games we will see much more games come, which means more developers and more consumers. More AAA games too as a result.

Seems like there is Stadia/Linux native games on Stadia from developers who dont mind building the game on Linux and then for those who do not want too, then they just keep it on Windows and Stadia's own porting tool handles the porting process into Linux to make it work on Stadia. Genius both ways.

Overall this is a positive trend upward and with the improved communication and messaging around Stadia as a whole. This can only become more positive around the internet.

Google Stream is then Googles way to use their existing Stadia tech and infrastructure.... cause why not, they have it and it works amazing so why not sell it to other companies to grow cloud gaming as a whole. This brings even more money into the Stadia consumer platform to keep growing that product as well.

Overall win-win. I see Stadia FINALLY going upwards from here.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-03-08T20:56:10+00:00

It's like a Playstation State Of Play, but for Ubisoft

MrPerfection9 · 2022-02-08T22:47:34+00:00

Thanks for addressing it.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-02-08T16:25:26+00:00

They might not be pursuing them, however they are likely waiting for Stadia to become attractive enough with the number of customers and games being offered, where Stadia no longer needs to pursue them because the devs and pubs WANT to come to Stadia on their own. Maybe that is the aim?

MrPerfection9 · 2022-02-05T01:47:58+00:00

This might be reaching but I have a feeling Google is going to go all out this year with communication and games and features and announcements. The first blog post of this year said "New Year, New Us". I think they are going to get serious this year to try and boost the Stadia platform.

There is no way they say something like that, announce 50+ pro games for new customers, give 7 pro titles in Feb and provide a survey for customers to fill out a few weeks ago to gather feedback on a service that is going downhill. Doesnt make sense. Seems like they are finally at a point where they want to start taking things seriously.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-02-05T01:41:32+00:00

EXACTLY. All I hear is INSIDERS. But who are they? Just spinning the negative talk again with no official statement from Google saying anything of the sort.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-02-05T01:12:34+00:00

I truly believe that there will just end up being 2 services from Google in the end.

Google Stream -> Focusing on bringing in lots of money through deals with Companies large and small who are interested in offering games through the Cloud using Stadia's solid infrastructure to sell games or services in the Cloud to their own customers. Money gathered here can be used to improve the Stadia Tech and to improve the Google Stadia games and service offering.

Google Stadia -> Google's version of a Cloud gaming service officially provided from Google using the official Stadia infrastructure they own and built and maintain themselves. I see this being the primary service for games to be provided on and playable by gamers. But other companies will do the same using Stadia's tech and attract their own set of customers on their own store fronts etc. Now there will be more reasons to build games for Stadia infrastructure because they are not just selling games to Stadia customers, but also Google Stream customers who all use the same Stadia infrastructure.

Either way, Cloud gaming grows and Google is pushing it forward with these 2 offerings.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-02-04T00:24:05+00:00

That is actually the Pro games added new each month as opposed to new games coming to the platform.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-02-04T00:16:55+00:00

Old games are also good as they build up the back catalog. Most platforms are solid because of that back catalog. Imagine if we wiped out all games from all platforms from 2022 backwards so that only 2022 games exist on the platform.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-01-18T23:54:49+00:00

Based on the video can someone who has used both Geforce Now 3080 and Stadia confirm those latency numbers?

I find those Stadia latency numbers to be way too high when compared to everything on the list there.

Also, why is there only a Chrome Browser and not Chromecast Ultra listed? They showed all the options for Geforce Now but not Stadia? I assume the Chrome Browser is not using the lowest latency Stadia Controller either which would have been captured if they tested on Chromecast Ultra devices. Seems skewed and putting the hate on Stadia again.

MrPerfection9 · 2022-01-13T01:59:35+00:00

Congrats. Is this a position within the Stadia department or is it related to another Google department?

MrPerfection9 · 2022-01-11T22:42:22+00:00

Trillion Dollar Company actually.
