This is my review on the current state of Google Stadia. When they announced this thing in March, I was very excited about it. I saw various game-streaming services before but I thought if anybody could do it properly and would nail it, it would be Google! But, they didn't nail it. The launch was rough. I don't see Stadia coming out, the way I hoped it would.First, I will talk about visual quality. This is a streaming service and when it comes to streaming doesn't matter what it is, it is never gonna look as good as natively rendered content. These things always have some kind of visual hit. It does not look that good, it is acceptable and it is actually what I expected. Just remember that it does not look as good as a modern gaming console or a gaming desktop but it is passable. The second thing I want to talk about is lag, latency, bandwidth etc. Streaming a game gets difficult. The latency and all is fine but when it comes to lag, the gaming experience sucks! What happens is suppose you are running and the game lags you would have reached your destination when it is back which is sad.
I don't see this thing reasonable to buy. I mean we have other platforms which are better than this. I checked the game store or whatever they call it. It hardly has any games and the ones which it has are not attractive enough. Developers will have to look at this thing in that way. I mean this smells risky for them! Developers are making games like Call of Duty which they know people will buy and this thing they are not sure if it will work here and this is a very immature ecosystem as compared to others, The controller is nice and comfortable it uses USB-C to charge but that thing is secondary.
There has to be a developer who will roll the dice and work for this risky thing. I don't see that happening for another 1-2 years, maybe never! Until that happens this thing is dead to me! If you liked my blog, tell me in the comments below or email me - Email
