The Stadia game library might not be huge yet, but there are plenty of awesome games for Founders to play. These seven are the best titles the platform has to offer.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition is temporarily claimable for free on the PlayStation Store in select Asian regions due to an apparent store glitch.
In an unusual pairing, Assassin’s Creed Is Coming To Reverse: 1999.
Ubisoft buying their way to the top. They always have the shittiest advertisement ideas, like flooding videos and comment sections with obvious bots.
Obviously they do or there would not be the hits on it. Even Google picked it up for their news feed.
Proton Experimental got a new update yesterday that improves Final Fantasy 16, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and more.
So much hassle people had for FF16 performance on PS5 to hit PC and still be barely playable. FF16 is hitting the crysis “can it run it” for PCs.
And now I’m genuinely wondering is it because the devs failed to properly design the game or is it because it is over ambitious.
Too many variances in the PC ecosystem. They can attempt to optimize to a point but ultimately, as it is in most cases, individuals will have to tweak settings to get their rig to run the game at its subjective best. Me personally, I enjoy a no fuss console experience but must admit I'm getting into the simplistic steam deck tweaks.
that's just nonsense, square is just bad at ports and have been for years. Japanese ports were notorious for it a good while, but it has gotten better but still nothing to write home about. Take FF7R pt1 for example, at launch on pc there were frequent random fps drops for no reason and a guy, a single guy got a patch out within 2 days that fixed it, if that doesn't say enough about their incompetency with pc ports then idk.
I don't know how people are getting such poor performance. It ran well for me +60fps at 1440p dlss balanced, all high settings. I'm on a i7-8700, 32gb ram, and 3080, so a pretty old setup. I get very few stutters, and it's buttery smooth if i cut the shadows down to medium settings. cut scenes have been modded to run at 60fps.
It's sitting at "mostly positive reviews' on steam. With most of the complaints coming from those with said poor performance. By absolutely no means is this a perfect / great port, but it's not god awful. Seems like it's a hardware issue on the customers end, and issues with the port itself.
This is talking about proton tho. It's expected for games to run poorly because they aren't natively running on Linux. I will agree however that Square has a history of putting out horribly running games on PC.
The game was optimized specifically for the PS5 and even so it makes that console creak....wonder how the Pro will handle it....
The library really needs to grow: RDR2, AC Oddisey, FFXV and some indies, not really tempting.
What's a Stadia?
There's nothing really amazing or stands out from regular consoles. Consoles can stream too. And nothing they are showing promotes that 10+ teraflops of power. Or paying for games you don't own digitally or physically.
Would have been cooler if they had found a way to do Daydream with 6dof over wireless using your phone or their own stand alone headset like an Oculus Quest. Sort of a First Gen Ready Player One. But have simpler games. And as 5G ramped up, make the games higher quality. Also could have had Google assistant built in to pause, change games, call friends, etc
But they dropped Daydream just like they did other stuff. So gamers are just waiting for Google to abandon this as well.
Edit: the disagreer can't change the fact that their launch was a bust and there's nothing special about this service.
