Google has just announced their streaming platform, the Stadia. I'll post more details as they come in, and an official link to their website once it goes live.

Here is an image of the controller, which you don't have to use (you can use any controller).

Spoiler:

Google is like New Microsoft's Xbox, i am hoping they can rival to Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft about this. Also, i am hoping Samsung can create their own console too and rival with them as well.

That controller literally just looks like an Xbox One controller but with two extra buttons in the middle lol.

Ask Nvidia how well cloud based gaming works... I'm not excited

This seems like a cool idea in concept, but yeah, not too sure about streaming games via a cloud. I only heard a bit about it and haven't looked into this too much, but have they discussed latency and connectivity issues yet?

Yeah man, I can't wait for the future of gaming by our good friends at google! Sony and Microsoft better WATCH OUT!

Eehh not a fan of streaming since I actually like owning my games. It's also too reliant on staying online, so if there's a power outage or your internet goes down, there goes your 'library'.

Could streaming games could be the future of an console and PC gaming replacement?

(sorry for my poor English)

According to some streaming games is the future, but I'm in the camp of hoping the worst is digital downloads.

As a gentleman hunting obscure game titles. I am not excited for the Stadia. If anything, I'm afraid of it and any company backing it up.

Google might be a tech titan, but their interest in technology, even a certain one from voice chatting to their broken Facebook "Google (+)." When this comes out, they'll get it right from the controllers down to the specs of the hard ware, but they won't stay it, much like some of the other technologies they've left behind to focus on the next big thing.

Google fans, sorry if I had to step on your toes, but there is some truth to this.

I'm in that camp as well.... Granted Digital download is fine to an extent, but you don't really own the game and even then to me digital is too volitaile.... XD

The lack of a price announcement for this boxless system is sending a red flag over its actual quality, not to mention not everyone has proper internet connection to get it working.
