It has been several months since the world premiere of the new platform for games proposed by the great "G", Stadia. In a summer that seems more and more distant we knew the Google's huge commitment to the gaming world. A concept called to completely change the current format of video games. And all this without creating a device capable of revolutionizing the current game console market. The really novel thing about Stadia was precisely that we will not need a fixed support to be able to enjoy our favorite games.
The news was a real bombshell. The downside of announcing such a great novelty, so long in advance, is that expectations have cooled off. But now, a few days from the global launch Stadia is once again curious to say the least. And this curiosity is based on two important questions. Will the public respond as Google expects? Will Stadia be able to offer a service that lives up to expectations?
Stadia generates expectation and doubts in equal measure
After the presentation of Stadia to the world, we were all surprised and at the same time filled with doubts in almost equal proportions. From the outset, little was told us about its operation, the necessary requirements or the prices that we should assume to enjoy this service. Over time, it is already dripping, it seems that we know more and more about Stadia. Y 10 days after its presentation there are many skeptics.
There are several "bumps" that Stadia has encountered since its launch. Following the success of their presentation, numerous news "found" in the small print have been adding "cons" to the Google gaming platform. What was announced as a multi-device platform that we can use with the multi-compatible remote control at the single price of 69 euros was muddied when it was learned that We can only use the remote wirelessly if we have a Chromecast Ultra. And know that play with Stadia 24 hours with 4K quality could consume 369 GB it has made many wonder that they should have a connection with high demands.
Still, and with doubts in between, Google announced in late October that the subscription called Founder's Edition was sold out worldwide. A subscription with which those who were faster to subscribe will be able to enjoy the platform exclusively a few weeks before the rest of the general public. The experience of these first users, and what they report about its operation, playability and quality will be crucial to the success or failure of this project so ambitious. Are you one of those who are looking forward to Stadia, or do you think you will continue playing as you have been?
