With just 26 days to go until Google Stadia\u2019s launch, we\u2019ll admit to being slightly worried that Google has just opened its first games studio. As in, today, right now, with 620 hours to go until launch. It\u2019s a truly unorthodox way to go about launching a new competitor to PC, PlayStation and Xbox.<\/p>\n
Dubbed Stadia Games and Entertainment Montreal, the new studio is headed up by Jade Raymond, ex-Ubisoft and Electronic Arts alumni. Stadia Montreal will be dedicated to the creation of exclusive gaming content for Google\u2019s Stadia cloud gaming service.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cStadia Games and Entertainment\u2019s studio will produce exclusive, original content across a diverse portfolio of games in all your favorite genres,\u201d<\/em> said Raymond. \u201cStadia is designed to be one destination for all the ways people play games\u2014and Montr\u00e9al is where we\u2019re going to start building them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Google plans to build out multiple first-party studios in conjunction with approaching third parties with the view of publishing exclusive content from external developers and indie devs. That\u2019s paying for exclusives to you and I, and is certainly a necessary step to help Google Stadia stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n <\/ins><\/p>\n The priority for first-party games will be to ensure they\u2019re titles which wouldn\u2019t be possible on any other platform. Raymond has explained how the in-house titles will leverage the power of the cloud to deliver experiences on a scale and complexity that we\u2019ve not seen before. This includes extremely detailed simulations, full physics-based titles,\u00a0 or support for thousands of players on a single server simultaneously.\u00a0<\/p>\n During a chat with GI.Biz she also raises the possibility of leveraging Google\u2019s Duplex tech to deliver AI powered NPCs who will dynamically respond to what you say to them in real life. In this scenario you\u2019d actually be able to talk to characters in a game and those perception checks and intimidation tests would have to be mastered by you in real-time.<\/p>\n At the moment though, this all sounds like pie in the sky stuff, particularly with Stadia Games Montreal only just opening its doors. Nevertheless, Raymond has said we may not have to wait too long to see the Stadia-exclusive content. \u201cIt won’t be four years before gamers get to see the new exclusive, exciting content. There will be some coming out every year, and more and more each year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n For now, Google Stadia\u2019s success hinges entirely on delivering a better version of the games we already know and love. If it fails to be better than a typical local experience (either on console or low to mid-range PC) then it becomes a very tough sell without exclusive content.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With just 26 days to go until Google Stadia\u2019s launch, we\u2019ll admit to being slightly…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[361,328,538,1208,452],"class_list":["post-1842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-days","tag-games","tag-google","tag-opened","tag-stadia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1842\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
