Google Stadia review roundup \u2013 is the input delay bad? Google Stadia releases to the public on November 19, and reviews have started to drop for the new hardware. Here\u2019s what people are saying. It\u2019s hard enough to launch a new game, but launching a whole new platform is another beast altogether, but that\u2019s just what Google has done with Stadia. Google promises Stadia will be a way to stream your favorite games without being tethered to a PC or console, but early returns have been mixed at best. The launch lineup was quite small, featuring just 22 titles, even after last-second additions, and the input lag has been extremely hit or miss according to reviewers. According to the Washington Post\u2019s Gene Park, Stadia was unplayable at times and posted a gif showcasing how bad the input delay can be. here is my Google Stadia review in one GIF. this is on The Washington Post’s Gigabit Ethernet last week. pic.twitter.com\/qexEv6vyUD \u2014 Gene Park (@GenePark) November 18, 2019 Forbes\u2019 Paul Tassi shared a similar sentiment, experiencing lag that would lead to deaths across every game tested, and even some audio sync issues that made it all around an unenjoyable experience. I would get periodic stuttering issues with massive resolution and frame drops,\u201d he said. \u201cNot all the time, but enough to be noticed frequently and disrupt gameplay, which is what everyone feared may happen with this kind of tech.\u201d With that said, it doesn\u2019t sound like everyone shared the same experience as Digital Foundry\u2019s Richard Leadbetter ran a series of lag tests and found results similar to how games perform on the Xbox One X. There was still a delay, but it wasn\u2019t nearly on the same level as the previous two reviewers said. Venture Beat\u2019s Jeff Grubb reported no significant issues with shooting in Destiny 2 and said the only thing that felt a bit off was playing online matches in Mortal Kombat 11. Waypoint\u2019s Patrick Klepek also said Destiny 2 felt fine, but explained something that feels fine to him might not be the same for everyone else. At the end of the day, it sounds like Stadia won\u2019t be for everyone, and your mileage with the platform will undoubtedly vary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
