“Doesn’t have the greatest internet” casually gets 100 mbps when I barely pull 30
Cries in 12mbps
2 mbps. Good job AUSTRALIAN internet
30? My guy I get 10 at a push
@Kage 777 nah bro you it just takes a lot of time. I remember the times getting that speed and loading videos at 140p and 240p regularly. 480p is a luxury at that point.
I got 1gb download speed 😬
“…. I don’t have the greatest internet”
Me having a 20mbps internet:”I’m sorry, is this some rich joke that I’m too poor to understand?”
Me with 10:what poor?
:100 kbps
I live in Thermal CA and i can only have satellite internet where i live which is honestly the worst for playing games online…
Me: cried in 5 mbs
20mbps is not that good i am getting 150mbps, i can watch 10 tabs of 4k videos on youtube without any buffering now that is a good internet and i pay 10 dollars , love my country specially Mukesh Ambani for amazing JIO
Jake: Dosnt have the greatest internet.
Me someone living in the rural south: hugsssss
Laughs in African viewer
Hey man get starlink lol
It’s hilarious to me that Stadia is the only console that can run Cyberpunk well
@thestepback There’s many market forces against Stadia even if mostly inadvertently but I still expect it to win out over the long run and become very popular. Obvious they can upgrade hardware. C-band is coming. Probably the last gen of consoles. Gaming online is the future.
@Zizka I don’t have to search for anything. I know that users report 60fps. But I also know how many users in Stadia subreddit cannot tell 30fps and 60fps apart. There is a Digital Foundry review of CP2077 and it’s not 60fps even on below than 1080p resolutions. But I was not even referring to CP77 in particular, it is better there than some other games. Most of Ubisoft ones are 30fps at lower resolutions than PS4 Pro. And no amount of optimisation can improve 4 year old hardware Stadia uses. Same goes for last gen consoles.
@thestepback if you search on stadia Cyberpunk 2077 fps you can see many report 60fps in performance mode and that it’s really more about optimisation by any games devs.. in theory this should all continue to improve as more games are added and more work is done.
@Foaad Hisham that’s going to change in the near future with new tec. “C-band” is coming for real. They just sold off trillions in dollars on frequencies.
@Zizka hardware upgrade is yet to be seen. What can be observed today is many games are 30fps and quality not exceeding PS4 Pro. Not to mention stream compression which makes the quality comparatively worse.
“I don’t have the greatest internet”.
Me living in pakistan : Bro😐
@Abdullah Ahmed Sheikh you are country is a community of morons which land their space craft in ocean and says they have found whale on surface of jupiter.
@Lala Ray VPN : “Am i joke to you”
@Kumar Tanay so what if we are poor dont need money in this temporary world money is a sick thing
@Kumar Tanay why are you giving people reason to hate Indian people? We are still not a rich country. Poverty is uncontrollable in India.
@Wajahat Baloch I did not realize that a lot of Pakistan’s watch gameranx.
I really appreciate you guys recovering this each year. Stadia is something I have been considering since release and may be viable for me in the future when working in many different locations.
@Daniel Dean ?
Where’s Trolley Tom when you need him
That’s one of the reasons I got it. I (used) to travel a lot in my work so it was great entertainment when I did. I still love it now and use it as my main platform.
I recently switched to stadia and I can honestly say it’s pretty amazing.
You’re lame dude
I got the free package for YouTube Premium subscribers (controller, Chromecast Ultra and 3 months of Pro) and yeah this is bonkers and I truly enjoy my time with it for free during the holidays (and newly announced lockdown).
They gave you stuff worth hundreds of dollars/€ because you have a 15 $/€ subscription? Man tell me what to do!
bro how did you get it?
Wait 6 months to a year after release, if it still looks appealing get it.
Lol showing stutters from internet speed drop while running a speed test. What did you expect?
@J Fz I have 300mbps down and 30mbps up in my house – but my pc wifi only gets 100 down, 20 up. I play 4K on stadia just fine, and livestream at the same time without issue, meanwhile there will be at least 1 instance of netflix or other on demand service going on in my house at any time.
But as others have said, Stadia is free, just buy games or sub to pro. Heck, Destiny 2 and Superbomber Man are completely free to play, no need to buy them or sub to pro. So no need to imagine anything, just go try it out for yourself.
@ShadowKnight well, yes, is not the same, but as i mentioned, it does show that alot can happen that can affect your gaming experience, there you see a laptop and a smartphone and the smartphone is messing up stadia with just that speedtest and is just downloading
imagine what will happen when someone on your house tries to upload files to internet
@J Fz well youtube is not a good representation because youtube can do local caching while stadia can not do that to achieve a constant stream of 60 fps (game might not be but the stream is always)
well, speedtest will not steal speed from stream services that much, i tried it while watching 4k content from youtube and saw very little impact in the video and in the test result
if my eyes saw well, it gave like 100mbps, stadia takes like 20
i understand the point of the test as that alot of things can mess up the gaming experience, is not a bulletproof experience, very far from it, is not a product for everybody
Yeah fr i feel like this was such a shitty decision lol
Playing on a base ps4, not upgrading anytime soon and that made stadia the perfect option for me to play cyberpunk
It runs good after the latest patch on ps4 pro
Omg yes, The Crew 2 went free (for the next 180 days) on PS Now so I tried it on my PS4 Slim to see how it compared to Stadia. So much waiting! Waited like an hour to download 27 GB. Then load times were so painful when you’re used to Stadia’s load times. Definitely prefer playing this on Stadia.
@cyberchroman988 there isn’t a mobile version haha, nice try though
@Rosa Barks only caveat is good or stable internet I play on my phone and laptop it runs good on both
@herman hermanheimer Sorry to break it to you but streaming is the future. And if anyone can do it, it’s Google
Man had to flex his mocha Jordan’s in first 15 seconds
Oh damn! I had to go back and scope em out. I don’t blame him. Those bad boys are rollin out for 330 on StockX right now.
Me from India: Lol even 10 mbps is called greatest internet connection in my country
Seeing all these 20-30mbps jokes and I’m just like E T H E R N E T
That’s what I did made a huge difference. Runs smooth now
Nerds, jk I love numbers
Ah yes, Ethernet increases the max speed I can get in my area. Thank you, why didn’t I think of that. /s
@Roemon .C facts
Facts. One time i was able to bridge my connection to 1.3 gb
Only locked to Google’s platform yeah cause that’s not true about literally every platform the exception being gog but not for all titles
the point he’s making is that you’re only going to be able to stream it, compared to xbox’s mobile thing or playstation now, where you can also play it without strea ming.
Stadia is a cool idea imo, i’m always in favor of trying to push innovation in gaming. I’m glad it’s getting better.
Let’s just hope, they don’t drop Stadia service though, or you guys and gals will be screw. Lol.
Hey all, stadia is pretty awesome honestly. Was playing Valhalla in 4K in my office just yesterday.
Let’s go with my 5KBPS WiFi
Was gonna suggest you could improve that with a modem and phone line. But do they still make modems?
أشعر بمعاناتك أخوي
lol
Lol
It definitely works for me as I’m constantly moving from place to place for work. Carrying a phone/laptop with a controller and being able to play is much more convenient.
Playing cyberpunk on stadia is one of the best experiences. Love it
Same for me, it`s really great!
I was literally just looking this up wow 😯
@Presidential Kingdom official support is coming for that(soon apparently), and for now you can side load. It’s probably worth keeping the new one.
If you guys are in doubt, get it. I highly recommend it. I’m gonna take some time to write my experiences in the comments before I sleep today. It’s been great.
@Presidential Kingdom You can easily sideload the Stadia app and play like that. I prefer Chromecast with google TV because you can use usb c hubs and different controllers. With Chromecast Ultra it’s the stadia controller way or the highway.
Same
Same lol I took it out of my cart yesterday and bought Chromecast with Google tv instead. Might have to reconsider now
