Stadia Founder's Edition

Re:Stadia Founder's Edition by enos_feedler on Thursday June 06, 2019 @09:34PM (#20120879)

I play one "AAA" game: NHL. I buy a ps4 pro for $400 and then every 12 months I have to buy a $70 game and a $60 ps online membership. For this money I also need to wait 5+ minutes to get my ps4 out of sleep mode and into a multiplayer game. The service experiences pretty consistent downtime where I am locked out. The ps messages mobile app is terrible for trying to chat with a player. In game experience is even worse. I am also restricted to playing on my sofa at home when I spend a lot of time traveling for work with my laptop, iPad, etc. I would love to play NHL in my down time there.

If Stadia got EA Sports to publish NHL, I'm sold. The end to end product experience is just going to be miles better. I imagine certain games unlock Stadia for certain people.

Traveling with Stadia would be difficult imo. They already mentioned it's going to be pretty brutal experience on 4G while 5G should be good (but is barely available at all). However every hotel WiFi I have experienced is generally abysmal. So not sure how you are planning on streaming this service seamlessly on the go.

I was thinking good hotels with good wifi.

5G, if you want to only use it outside while standing right by a 5G antenna.

And ensure you have a massive data plan to go with it...

I can imagine Pokemon Go like scenarios of people standing around 5G radios playing Stadia... Except for much less people.
