I also want to contribute to the discussion. I'm trying GeForce Now I have a huge amount of games on Steam and Epic and I love Stadia on which I purchased several games. I won't talk about 4k because I don't have 4k monitors or TV so I don't care at all. It is clear by using both systems that have a different vocation and purpose. and paradoxically the two platforms are not mutually exclusive but "complete" Here are the things I noticed: PRO OF STADIA: - Stadia is a replacement for the console: the games are developed and adapted specifically for stadia, this means that potential developers will focus on optimizing the game specifically for the hardware that can be found on stadia a bit like it happens for PS consoles and Xbox. And this undoubtedly brings advantages. - No graphical option .. think of everything as it is in a home console. - Stadia has no waiting lines to play games and that's it. - Stadia has its own and in my opinion well structured data center structure - The Stadia interface is extremely simple and clear and playing with a purchased game is extremely simple and clear. a bit like consoles. - Special features specially created for Stadia can be developed - Google has on its side services such as Youtube and google searches that if integrated with the games will give an extra edge to the experience (find solutions, advice from the network, publish live gameplay on youtube without weighing down your internet line etc. .) - Those who play online play, for now, with those who have the same game on Stadia. the lag is comparable. CONS OF STADIA - High price of games compared to the average. - More monthly subscription cost than GeForce Now - It is disconnected from online stores so you will never be able to play games you already have .. exactly like a new console - The controller doesn't drive me crazy - Very limited amount of games .. I am feverishly waiting for certain specific announcements that I hope sooner or later they will give. - cannot be used on generic mobile phones and without 5G. - requires own controller on TV PRO OF GEFORCE NOW - It is a service that integrates your PC experience. with the games we purchased on the various online stores. - It manages better the amount of data, I was able to "play" Batman Arkham Night in maximum details even with the 4g of my generic mobile phone. and even without a controller (obviously it's unplayable but the possibility is provided). - Large amount of games and at very affordable prices. - It has RTX for subscribers and this may make a difference in some games. - Subscription rather cheap and in any case also the free allows to play well. CONF OF GEFORCE NOW - Geforce now relies, as far as I know, on Azur datacenters, not on its own. In Italy, for example, it has no detacenter and I have to connect with a detacenter in Europe. - Requires Shield TV - There are waiting queues to enter the server if you don't pay the monthly subscription. - You will use the PC version of the games, therefore often not optimized and subject to problems. There will never be an exclusive feature of Geforce Now. - The interface and management of the various stores on Geforce Now is very complicated and brainy in my opinion. Until they get better, finding a compatible game is a long thing. - I managed to play only after many attempts to understand how it is done. On the other hand, everything is simpler, cleaner and faster. The multiplayer is more complex because if you play with GeforceNow it is very likely that you will meet opponents who play from PC and with a lower lag. The ping that the PC server you are playing from will appear on the screen, not the one you have once the image has arrived.
