Amazon Is coming for stadia.
I have gotten early access to Luna to try it out and see how it compares to Stadia. I hope this rather serious competition from Amazon forces Google to pick up the pace with Stadia. Regardless, as a consumer, I am excited to see cloud gaming grow.
Well enjoy, I am not American so I cannot participate. To be fair I hae no time nyay at the moment so its ok, to much to play on my PS4 catch up sales and Stadia.
Try using a VPN. A lot of people use it with Stadia too.
This may be good for us. Amazon is the only other company with the infrastructure to compete with google if you ask me, xclouds saving grace is gamepass, but that's it. Looking forward to seeing what comes of this news.
Competition is always a good thing.
Roll on the arrival of Luna is what I say.
Totally agree with you @ReidoBaggins, I believe as well, competition is always a good chance for the market in general.
Let's see how this will turn out. ![]()
How is it competition if stadia's roll out was so bad? I mean I know because I bought 2 founders edition and even 1 premier edition for a friend. In short, none of my friends stayed to play stadia, including my girlfriend. Google really needs to make drastic changes to the current state of stadia to even be considered competition.
Of course I don't know how well Luna runs but the platform is coming from amazon, a powerhouse company. Plus they made a game already and not to mention the controller looks better than the basic stadia controller. Most importantly the beta subscription is half the price of pro and with way more games. I had to temporarily cancel my pro subscription that I had since November.
Its probably up to scratch, but so is Stadia for most folks! Its maybe a bad area for Google where you are, but maybe the AWS servers are stronger in your area. If your internet is bad, its going to be just as bad for Luna.
For me on Virgin Media in the UK Stadia is Flawless.
Very excited I hope they include it in Prime for a few more dollars a year. You have access to all 100 games and a bonus for ubisoft games, this is closer to a real subscription to services.
I mean Pro subscription is for the quality of the transmission, anyone who plays in the CCU in 4K HDR I recommend turning off HDR and seeing the black and white pixelations turn off 4k and force 1080 60fps and you will get stuttering, and well they give you some games for play on the phone.
Cloud war is coming yay
Competition is a great thing. Looking forward to it.
If you tets Luna I would like to know if you can use keyboard and mouse or only the amazon controller.
On the Amazon Luna landing page:
What do I need to play on Luna?
You need a high-speed internet connection, compatible game controller or mouse and keyboard, and supported PC, Mac, Fire TV, iPhone, and iPad.
This is very exciting news for cloud gaming and consumers. Look forward to seeing how Stadia react and testing Luna!
BellÃsimo!
U can use the xbox and PS Controller, but not the stadia ![]()
false , with Stadia : you can use another controller on web & mobile but not TV
Luna never say you can play with another controller on TV , their controller is same as stadia , connected to wifi
The biggest advantage is that they use Windows.
I see that as a two-edged sword. It certainly helps get more existing games onto their platform quickly. But, it means those games aren't really any different than they would be on a PC. The Stadia platform as a whole is more work to support, but enables some things that can't be done with a traditional platform – even one that's been lifted into the cloud, since those games still need to work on traditional systems. We've only had glimpses of those capabilities so far (e.g., Stream Connect), because of the lead time in developing new games. In short, Stadia is a long-term play while Luna is intended to make a bigger short term splash. There's room for both in the market.
My three biggest titles (Doom Eternal, BG3 and Cyberpunk) will all be on Stadia by the end of the year and 0 on Luna. I'm fine where I am.
I would love to have the library option for the older games. Seen lumines!!!!! Lol but I don't play enough to have both .. . Luna controller looks to have the better Xbox style joystick configuration tho
I left never Stadia, Stadia for ever! 🧡
