damn i forgot about this kino

does anyone think the "streaming" tech will come back in some other form? like hybrid rendering or even injecting 3d models on the fly? i probably worded it in a dumb way but you get the gist

>>712678715
The only good thing about these is they're one of the few devices vulnerable to the RCM vulnerability, so they're basically unbrickable and allow running custom code in TrustZone

>>712681195
GeForce Now is already a thing

Here I come!

>Super Bomberman R Online fucking died because it only released on this shit first and Konami never advertised it
>This lead into the decision to never advertise Super Bomberman R 2 which has no fucking players either
>All the shit trapped on fucking fapple arcade

>>712681195
"Streaming" technically is "here" but it's limited to shit like streaming from your home PC since that's the least retarded way to do it.
Although some people are tards and use GeForce now to remote play shit with mods like Marvel

>>712678715
this was absolute peak reddit retardation.

>>712681582
>Super Bomberman R 2
that's because bomberman R2 is a shit game, and a worse sequel. worse than the first in many ways

>>712681982
I'm fully willing to admit it's probably a bad value.
But 90% of the issue is that they told literally fucking nobody that it exists.
And for the past two years every time I bring it up the reaction is always
>Oh? They released that last year/two years ago?

>>712681685
i was thinking more like background environments like clouds etc being video while most of your game or foreground is still traditionally rendered locally

>>712681195
Yes, because imagine this
>You buy the game on steam as always, download and so
>AND, they give you the option to play it via Stream too
>This makes the Steam Deck relevant again

>>712682284

'community' has gotta be one of my most hated words

Oh no distributed real time computing for a live software environment is a fucking horrible idea and a security nightmare since you are explicitly asking for remote execution and an arbitrary data feed.

>>712678419 (OP)

>>712682465
It wouldn't be so bad, if there were actual real communities.
The problem is there aren't any (on purpose, they were intentionally destroyed), and lonely people are vulnerable to being exploited because of this.

I liked stadia
did my first cyberpunk playthrough on it

>>712682596
How was the input lag?

>>712678715
You got a link to this video. I haven't been able to find it

>>712682284
So was this supposed to be your phone, and you also used it to play handheld games?

>>712682667
I didn't really notice it
I think I might live near some google data center
stadia controllers also communicated directly to the servers through wifi which cut down in lag
it was pretty neat use of technology a shame it died despite it being better than geforce, and xbox
although I think amazon luna is doing the same thing for their controller but I haven't tried it

>>712683064
I mean I still play my 360 but id never get that shit tattooed on me.

GeForce NOW is serviceable

>>712683397
I can't find it, but it was whatever was big at the time. With no regard for how cheap Android phone hardware at the time was supposed to be able to run them. Not to mention licensing fees and all that.

>>712683085
I think if your Official Launch Trailer, the final one for the launch of your product, consists entirely of a guy talking nonstop trying to explain your product on a basic level, then you might have a problem with consumer awareness.

>>712681441
unrelated but would you play a Nintendo "Bop It"

>>712682247
I think Microsoft's Flight Simulator does that. They have a basic mesh for the planet with local files and it streams stuff like buildings, traffic and live weather conditions on top of that.

>>712681982
That's because R2 is just R Online with duct taped extra stuff so Konami could pretend it's a $50 package.

>>712681195
Xbox gamepass literally let's you cloud stream games. Perfectly serviceable for non action games

The gameplay was incredible, but the studio that put together the story were a bunch of fucking hack frauds. They squandered the greatest villain they had for a shitty gimmick fight at the end with a reskinned enemy instead of letting us fight the pinnacle of javelin technology and training. The entire game they hyped up your fight with this guy, who's stronger and faster than you, and when you do show up to fight him at the climax, he dies and in "reborn" as a jobbing world mob. Fucking morons.

>>712683064

>>712682284
honestly, the N-gage was ahead of it's time. Now everybody plays games on phones.

>>712690848

no it wasn't. the inputs were shit compared to an actual controller, the resolution was shit, the performance was shit, the cart system was shit, the load times were shit, the storage space was shit, etc.

Project M was a mod designed to "fix" Brawl's issues and make it more balanced it had a pretty dedicated competitive scene and everything but then the modders stopped updating it... for reasons idk, so they went on to form their own platform fighter called Icons Arena which was basically a F2P Smash Bros with Overwatch on top for good measure, it didn't last, literally the "we'll make our own theme park with hookers and blackjack" except nobody wanted to play at the theme park, they wanted to stay at Nintendoland

>>712681195
there are a lot of options if you self host
even razers streaming works really well
the og is moonlight and sunshine
but now everyone is friends with apollo and artemis/moonlight

>>712699773
oh im fully aware of Project M. didnt know people tried to do their own thing after Project M stopped being updated. sucks that it didnt last.

>>712697153
Icons: Combat Arena, one of the first attempts to have an indie Smash-like game that pandered to tourneyfags. It was made by two ex-Project M members that used the fear of legal action from Nintendo to stop PM's development and make their own game instead. They raised $6 million to make the game and wasted it in bullshit like weekly tea parties in expensive offices in California while the actual game never went from alpha/beta state. The game was an always-online beta only available in North America with only two modes (VS and training), 7 characters (4 of them clones of Smash characters), 6 stages that were variations of battlefield, 6 frames of imput lag due to the shitty engine they were using, an ugly nu-blizzard art style, and a gross pay2win scheme where you had 2 free characters and had to pay to get the rest of them and alternative costumes (or play thousands of battles online to farm coins to unlock them).

After the original studio died, the IP was sold to another guy, who proceeded to do change its name to Vortex Rising and do fuckall with it for years until he decided to change its name again to Rushdown Revolt, which changed the graphics a bit and added a couple of gimmicks just to crash and burn as well (it's last update was one year ago).

>>712690848
It was an evolutionary dead end because they refused to just make normal phones with touch screens

>>712700035
so this game id never heard of IS a game ive heard of! Rushdown Revolt is something id heard ru,blings about. Knowing how fucked the monetization was, though, im glad it flopped.

>>712700025
Yeah it sucks thats just a surface level retelling im sure another anon can fill you in better

I don't really get why they seem to think that gamers want to play as absolute clowns in their shooty games where they kill people. Even just ignoring that the designs are horrible, they're obviously trying to make characters who look like they're all headed to some dress-up party in seattle or something and they act like it too and putting them in violent videogames. why?

>>712696437

I bought a stadia controller and that google tv thing vs 24 bucks. Then they closed the service and refunded me that money. So i got that controller for free lmao.

>>712704012

Because in a lot of games with character creators, like Oblivion, people will make absolute clowns and show them off in streaming arcs that last for dozens of episodes.

Streaming is as good as it's ever going to be. There's always going to be obvious input latency that makes certain games unplayable. You'd never play a platformer that requires precise timing over an internet network, for example. It's never going to replace local gaming. It's limited in its function, so it's always going to be a niche part of gaming.

How

As a lifelong MMO enjoyer, this genre is just fucking cursed, most of us are still playing the same 3 games as 15-20+ years ago (WoW (2004), OldSchool RuneScape (2004/2007/2013, however you want to count it), FFXIV (2010)).

>>712705187
I'm only looking at cloud streaming for my Chromebook so I can play things like Civilization or something like that. I wouldn't try to play anything that requires mouse movement on a trackpad.

>>712705291
sunk cost fallacy means it's pretty hard to dislodge people from other MMO's
I mean people still log into 20 year old MMO's that are barely even supported anymore

>>712704941
It's just a loose concoction of the most agreeable and low effort art styles the west has to offer. Pixar, League of Legends, Overwatch, etc. It's our equivalent of generic anime shit.

/v/ am I crazy or was there a point in gaming history where a lot of big gaming news sites and big publishers thought that smartphones were going to be the ABSOLUTE future of gaming and there woudn't be any point of making console/PC games once phones got strong enough
and then that idea kinda died quick they realized people don't want to play intensive games on their phone most of the time

i can get thinking they'd replace handhelds but they didn't even do that in the end

>>712705689
unfortunately the future of gaming is going to be phones as third worlders will spend most of their money on a good phone rather then expensive consoles or PC's.

>>712705689
I don't know about gaming but this boomer woman that taught my computer class (forgot what kind) in college about a decade ago was convinced phones were going to completely replace desktops and repeated her theory every other day. I'm guessing normalfags really had their minds blown by smartphones in the 2010s since they didn't bother with regular computers before it.

>>712705689
I think you'd be shocked if you realized how many people play games on their phones.

>>712705993
Did you reply to the wrong post?

>>712705890

Yeah, but just because a lot of people play on their phones doesn't mean it'll replace the mainstream gaming market. People who like playing CRPGs on their PCs aren't the same market as someone who fucking loves Cookie Run Kingdom.

tatoos in the past and in some prisons today have a purpose, but for most people, there is no need to identify yourself with a gang to stay alive, so its just retarded. women especially say fuck all with their tatoos that are all 3 kinds, and only 1 of them means it is a prostitute while the other 2 are flowers or some weird shapes.

Don't you people have phones?

Serious talk though, I actually got a Moga controller once that would work pretty good for smartphone gaming. It was a well-designed controller, decently-sized for portable play, ran on AA batteries. I could probably play Halo or PUBG or Diablo or any mobile game with it and be satisfied. I already had 2 DSes and 3DSes. The problem really was that very few mobile games available on the Play store were good, and those that were did not support the controller. Game developers killed mobile gaming, not the smartphone format itself.

I still play Nikke on my smartphone. I could play more Hogwarts: Magic Awakened too. But I don't think either supports the controller. I could use it to play emulated games, I guess, but that doesn't sell the idea that smartphones will be the next frontier of gaming.

>>712704396

Thirdies often play in shit like netcafes if they're interested in playing mainstream vidya. Even games where they have a "mobile" version available, you still see them play on those netcafes.

>>712681441
I genuinely don't understand the complain about this. People pay up to $100 for shitty special controller and controller attachments made from cheap plastic that will work on like 2 games. Remember that Wii light gun or wheel that were actually useless.

The audience for Labo was clearly children and /v/ makes fun of it because only games for 12+ year old are cool.

there was this 3D moba game similar to SMITE but with robots that had some cool trailers and i think there was alpha build avalible to play or something but it just died
also pic rel

>>712709263
Schizophrenics like >>712706514 have made up an entire alternate reality in their heads where Labo was being hyped and then desperately defended by delusional Switch owners who didn't want to admit it was a gimmick one-note thing.
In the real world everyone immediately understood this was nothing more than a toy for kids.

>>712682596
They fucked up by trying to force their own platform and having people pay twice. Most people who play games already have hardware that can play games so there is no immediate advantage of using Stadia.

Let alone all the other issues that come with it that makes this only feasible for maybe 20% of all people

>>712708913
This is how Bioware operates most of the time now. They try to stretch out pre-production for years until EA slaps them and they rush out something in a year or less. Everyone at that studio seems to afraid to be in charge and direct a fucking game, so nobody ends up saying "this is my vision and this is what the game will be like". That's what happened to both Anthem and Andromeda. Anthem being about flying only happened because some EA exec saw a build and said "that's cool".

>>712711003
I could swear I saw a thread on /v/ where an Anon claimed he worked on the Ouya display where the people in charge wanted some historic shit in there but none of them knew shit about games, so he asked for ideas and this was the end result.

That's what I've been saying all this time. If they operated the way nvidia does geforce now stadia would probably still be operating. If I ever actually left home paying for streaming as a service would at least have some appeal. Having to pay full price for games to pay on hardware somebody else owns that I have to pay a monthly fee for is not something I am interested in. Especially when the service runs the risk of shutting down and fucking me over out of my games. Fuck, if google had offered a download for the games to play on your own hardware I might have at least given it a shot. They did refund people for the games after it flopped, but there was no way to know they would do that at the time.

To be fair all Bomberman f2p online games that were released for phones and consoles were also short lived. Meanwhile Konami refuses releasing Bombergirl at the West and making a console port for despite its popularity because (((global standards))).

>>712716325
It's not, I was the first one that posted this because I knew the streamer, he shilled stadia a lot.

No, it wasn't. Also playing games with actual phones is different than phones/consoles hybrids that are crap as phones. Even when Sony made a PSP GO-like phone it flopped hard. And we've barely seen other companies doing similar phones (and if they do, they're from obscure Chinese companies).

>>712706514
It did have VR

>>712716443

>Cartridge games console
>Shitty loading
How the fuck did they do that! Even Java phone games had tolerable loading times.

>>712716756
No, I blame the companies themselves for being that greedy to appeal to ESG investors like Blackrock instead of appealing to their actual customers. Also they never gave a shit about soccer moms. On the contrary these companies used to take advance of soccer moms' outcry to advertise their games for being controversial. Even when feminists tried to ruin their games like the female marketing manager at Universal Studios that cried about Tawa Bandicoot's "sexist design", Naught Dog were like "Fuck you bitch, the sexy female furry stays.".

Either that or this was some really odd attempt at making it seem like gaming just died after ET and Stadia was going to save it.

Local streaming is pretty good at least, technically it's there, even if latency isn't perfect. But in an ideal world I'll be able to replace my big heavy gaming computer with a headless box I can slot into a rack in the basement or a closet (with A/C) and just use a client like a mini PC, laptop or streaming stick to access everything I own ("own"), on Steam, GOG or whatever.

Because all popular MMOs are PvE theme parks, but Amazon was retarded enough to fall for the hardcore full loot on death PvP meme.
Nobody actually likes that shit, but the devs only figured that out after getting tester feedback months before release. Their solution was to hastily remake the game into something completely different, that's why it's so shit and broken.

This was their Luciferian "telling on themselves" moment. Satanists believe that telling people what you're about to do absolves them of blame because the people could have stopped them, but they also believe it's okay to "tell" people through cryptic symbolism hidden in plain sight.

They created Stadia knowing that it wouldn't last as a platform, whether they were going to kill it for a tax write-off, or if the technology was meant for something else and gaming was just a temporary front for testing, or both. Comparing it to other failures in gaming history was them saying, "We know Stadia will fail, we're going to make it fail like these other forgotten failures in gaming history."

It was essentialy an android without a screen in a box. It wasn't until Nintendo added th screen back that the idea became viable.

>>712729704
It was a novel idea at the time, but it came way too early to be viable. There wasn't anything worth playing on Android back then.

OUYA was when I truly realized that gaming was getting taken over by absolutely retarded normies. So many people were genuinely convinced they would be playing AAA games on it, for some fucking reason, and everyone that tried speaking up and telling people how weak it would be was silenced everywhere.

No anon, you do not have "special tattoos". They're just tattoos, same as everyone else's.

Remind me, what the fuck was the point of stadia again and why did it flop so hard? all I recall was you didn't need to buy a console just a controller? but you still need a phone to play on anyway??

It was the cheapest way for Google to dip their toe in the gaming market.
>why did it flop so hard
They were charging full price for individual streaming-only versions of games, which at best would play worse, and at worst would (and did) get ripped away from you with zero compensation. "You will own nothing and be happy".

>>712737817
Wrong comment, anon.

I would have bothered with Stadia if you could get a Steam copy of the game, too.

>>712737698
>what the fuck was the point of stadia again
Good question.
>why did it flop so hard?
There's your answer.

The Ouya was something that always made me scratch my head. It was only made to run android games. What were people expecting it to do? Run anything for 99 dollars?

>>712740854
That is exactly what people expected it to do. I remember when the devs asked what games they should get for it people sincerely asked for stuff like GTA.

>>712740954
I know the general populace isnt well informed but, come on. There is a reason why consoles cost a lot more than 99 clams.

>>712740854
What (briefly) sold me on it was that it was a platform where indies could theoretically shine with little competition from corporations.

>>712740854

That's not far off.
