Hey guys I have no PS4 or gaming PC, have just discovered google stadia where you do not need hardware but the games just streamed over the internet. That would actually be optimal for me because I have a 100mbit line. Is stadia already worth it or is not cloudgaming working so well? Costs only 129 euro. I have high expectations, I'm not really what graphic concerns. Main thing FHD and reasonably good graphics just better than ps3 I say. Would stadia be worthwhile for me?

"only 129 euro"

For that you get 3 months of play time + controller + Chromecast.

After that you have to pay the monthly amount.

Also, I have not watched it for a while, but you still have to buy the games for iirc…

Yes, good but for a PS4, I have to pay so synonymous 200-300 and then buy me the games. Seen so stadia is indeed cheaper

Stadia is currently a stillbirth (or "dead on arrival" in the jargon).

Lags, up to 4 seconds input lag, dependency on servers, no new games or exlusives, limited to 1080px via Google Chrome, 4k streams are transmitted to many users only with 1080px…

Wait or forget directly…

Oh yes: several TB per hour (if you have a limit with your internet provider.)

I can't imagine that the latencies and image quality are already in an acceptable range today.

If it should be cheap, you can think about whether you can afford a PS4, could imagine me for the next few days quite prices of 199 euro.

I have not looked at the DigitalFoundry analysis yet, but there seems to be about 20GB / hour. I also wonder how bad the picture quality suffers.

Well, you only have access to it as long as you have a subscription.

No subscription, no games…

Dw

Several TB per hour? Probably GB. And no, no limit
