Thanks for your input.

"Good job, Ubisoft. You've created shit in video game form, and your shit is getting shit on"
Haha, Thanks buddy, this comment brightened up my evening and made me LOL.
@Christopher
You make some interesting points Chris.
I'd argue that Google's infrastructure is a step above that of Gaikai, and having used both PS Now and Beta tested Project Stream I'd say that the later is the superior streaming platform.
Having said this, I agree that Stadia is not the future of gaming in and of its own, It's just another way for gamers to play games when a traditional console doesn't suit their...
@GreenDragon
I'd agree it's no secret that Google does have a lot of failed projects;

But as far as closing or selling off studios, SIE has a far more prolific record

Thanks for your input.
@Christopher
What's your take on Stadia Chris?
@Seph
I don't get it either,
I understand that it's a bold step and outside people's comfort zones, but the same people I see trying to downplay Stadia one day are singing the praises of PS Now streaming the next.
If it doesn't interest you then fine, but don't tell me how I should or shouldn't play my games - it's my money, my time, my choice.
10.78 TFLOPS and a capable CPU is exciting. I&...
@Ultra
I see what you are saying and you make a good point, but think how many more gamers Dreams could reach if it was opened up to more platforms.
Having said this, I agree. The problem for Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft is that keeping a game exclusive attracts gamers to their particular brand, so I understand why they choose not to.
@Segata
I get ya' buddy, but you have to remember that those adverts were regional and this site is International so even the old and bold might not remember them.
In my country the Genesis wasn't even called the Genesis, it was the "Megadrive".
@Abnor
I agree with you buddy.
I dislike the fact that other gamers are not able to enjoy the same games I can, simply because of their choice of platform.
@Mark
It's downloading right now, I'm actually pretty excited. It looks fantastic from what I've seen so far.
It's been an age since I bought a COD game, but the return of the campaign and the real world setting sealed the deal for me.
@Ricegum
"It has a higher resolution on Xbox One X but the overall frame rate is worse than on the PS4 Pro"
Damn, I just bought it for the X.
Maybe I should have gotten it on the Pro.
Can you link me to the site that did the testing please buddy?
@Spurg
Of all the issues that could potentially affect Stadia - latency, input lag, video compression, software ownership, the thing that concerns you most is that if Google decides to bail studios may be shut down leading to redundancies?
Your comment is simply a thinly veiled way to inject negativity into the discussion by offering up fake concern.
I've bought it, My first COD game in years.
I feel dirty, but the visuals and attention to detail on the "clean house" and "Wolf's Den" missions looked too good to ignore, plus so far the reviews have been surprisingly positive.
@Sgt_Slaughter
"It's "very disappointing" that Ubisoft has ignored Rayman and Splinter Cell for years, then continuously release GAAS to poor results"
Completely agree with you, I'd love to see a new Rayman or Splintercell, as they are two of my favourite IP's of all time.
I think it's a shame that instead of quality products our favourite games are broken up and sold back to us in pieces, but we as t...
Good.
I hope this sends a very clear message to Ubisoft and serves as a warning to other developers and publishers.
Gamers are tired of low effort, generic, cookie cutter clones crammed full of microtransactions.
@Neo
"They put out unique and diverse games then people bark that the diversity is boring"
The "too bad it's still a flight simulator" attitude is less to do with diversity and more to do with the platform(s) the game is releasing on and the wording of the article title.
You only have to look to the comment that saw fit to bring Detroit become human into the conversation to see how articles like can this stoke pe...
@PectoralFlex
Haha, if true ( and I have no reason to doubt you ) that's a pretty cool and funny story.
I'm interested in hearing more about this guy if there's any more to tell.
Good.

"People confuse overall infrastructure with game streaming infrastructure"
You're right, I should have said Gaikai tech Vs Stadia tech. I was specifically thinking about the more modern video compression Google is utilising and the bespoke tech implemented to reduce latency.
Examples I can think of include the controller connecting directly to the router (reducing hops required to the WWW) and Google's alg...
