LOS ANGELES: The first takes on Google Stadia, the Internet giant's new game-streaming service that debuts Nov 19, are out. And the consensus is that Stadia is needed more time in the oven before it was served up to the gaming crowd.
Google's big promise with Stadia is that players can access top-tier game titles without a console and without having to download them. The service includes 22 games at launch (after originally planning to go out with 12), including Red Dead Redemption 2, Mortal Kombat 11, Destiny 2: The Collection, Kine, NBA 2K20, Final Fantasy XV and Rage 2. The service costs US$10 (RM41) per month (after a three-month free trial) and is accessible on multiple devices, including TVs, PCs, and select tablets and phones.
