Yeah that has been my experience as well. Destiny 2 runs really well for me in terms of no lag and framerate, but the graphics are just not where I expected 10.7 teraflops to give me.
Agreed. The quality so poor I can't justify spending $60 on the games
Did someone checked other games like Tomb Raider?
Because if this game looks like Destiny then I can continue playing on my SNES ...
Agree.
When Stadia was announced, they went on about how the performance was going to blow the PS4/Xbox One out of the water. Infact they stated "PS4 Pro and Xbox One X Combined", yet the Graphics fidelity in game is actual atrocious, really low settings.
To be clear, I am not having latency issues, there's no input lag, no stuttering, no video compression issues. The video stream itself is perfect - It's just the in-game video quality settings are terrible. I'm hoping this is temporary just to keep things light for launch and after a few weeks/months they will ramp up the quality.
I've found that Destiny 2 looks better streaming from Stadia than it does on my Xbox. Which is weird. There is considerable stutter at times, but by and large it works. Is your quality crazy bad or just worse than console?
I have a ps pro and this is noticably lower quality. I will say that the frame rate is fantastic though. Easy 60fps is a different experience.
Overall I'm disappointed in seeing so many jagged textures. At least turn on 16xAA or something with all they power if they plan on running at this barely 1080p/1440p stream.
Gameplay has been pretty responsive in PVE.
It's a bit of a wash.
Playing through CHROME the quality is tremendously low, there is absolutely no doubt about that. With chromecast on and using it on the TV it looks beautiful, I don't understand this though if you're a pro user why doesn't it sort of automatically recognize what type of monitor you're using and give you the best resolution options. I want high quality resolution when I am playing on my PC, the colors and textures are so bad on the chrome browser that it has me kind of like what? I'm sure they don't want their experience looking that bad.
The graphics are subpar for sure. To make it even better, I'm getting steam lag and stuttering like crazy, making games basically unplayable. Connection speed to the Chromecast Ultra is 256Mb, so there shouldn't be any issues. What a complete waste of money this thing is. Honestly, the shouldn't be allowed to sell it. This tech is not ready for the limelight and does not work as advertised.
I believe Chrome/PC can only stream at 1080p regardless that's why things look so bad.
It's not a resolution issue. It looks bad 4k on Chromecast, and 1080p on a pc.
Think of it like when you play a PC Game and you select the correct resolution for your monitor, but you out the "Graphics Quality" slider to Low
Again just to confirm, its not a streaming issue. I have the Chromecast ultra wired with Ethernet. 380mb down, very low latency. I find stadia is technically very responsive, no stuttering or input lag. Pretty impressed with it.
Just disappointed that in the announcement they made a big deal about the number of terraflops of processing power.
So expected it to be on part with playing a PC game with settings cranked to max
Hey.. it's just the first week. Maybe it's just for not overload the service. Give their some weeks and see
Idk if that's the issue, my monitor is only 1440p and the fuzz makes it look really bad. When I used to game on a 4K monitor these kinds of artifacts would happen at 720p upscaling, but if this is rendering at 1080p to my 1440p local, something there is not being translated well.
Hopefully that is corrected though although i've heard the opposite comment from yours, someone tried a different screen and it still look really bad to them. I guess in the next few months we will see how they change the chrome browser experience, I want high quality (not medium)
@SecretCode : With a LCD, using a lower resolution than the native resolution will result in inferior image quality, unlike the old CRT monitors where you would not see poorer image quality because a CRT (cathode ray tube) can change resolution to match the signal being received.
An LCD screen cannot, it has a single fixed resolution. If the image that it is to display matches the same number of pixels that the LCD screen can display, it's pixel perfect and you will get a great image, because both the image source and the pixels are in perfect alignment. If the source image isn't a match to the screen then you'll get an inferior image and depending upon the scale and the amount of pixel misalignment you may get a terrible image...
true but bungie provide the 1080p upscaled 4k version, not stadia. i play on pc and ps4 too, so yes. my issue is the inputlag for controls. the latency kills every good gameplay. hopefully bungie can improve this time.
@BuboTheOwl : Correct, Stadia has a long way to go, and it is still very early days. I'm not encountering any issues with input lag so far.
I'm disappointed in Stadia. Destiny 2 has input lag that will get you killed and the graphics are nowhere near as good as my Steam install running in true 4K on the same monitor. It looks low resolution, and somewhat blurry.
The controller while good, seems to only be usable with Stadia. I feel like I was just screwed again like I was with OnLive. Feel like I through $130 away. I would in no way recommend Stadia now after trying to play Destiny 2.
It's also very sad that Google is just passing the buck to the developers. Saying that it's their fault it's not playing right on their system. Odds are more in favor of the Stadia system just not being able to deliver what was promised.
As far as I'm concerned, as of right now Destiny 2 on Stadia via Chrome browser on Windows PC is just a fail. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Maybe Xcloud can do better? No telling at this point. I've lost all hope in game streaming now. I know the industry would love that copy protection, but currently it's still not possible.
I'm on Xfinity.
