WEBVTT

00:00:01.839 --> 00:00:07.359
what are you doing here i'm hosting i thought you were fired oh

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:12.559
really really that's what you've got yeah no i'm here

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.359
and we're hosting i'm doing the tech news cool tech news yesterday at gdc

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:21.439
2019 google showed us all the future of

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:27.920
gaming and guess what guys if you thought it was a box it's not it's a

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.760
place a stadium or rather a stadia

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.360
google stadia is a game streaming service that'll run on any pc running

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.840
chrome any tv equipped with the chromecast or any mobile device with the

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:42.000
app stadia will have virtually no local processing everything will run off of

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:47.440
cloud machines powered by cpus and gpus custom built by AMD with the ability to

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:49.280
stream up to 4k and 60fps what they will

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:53.520
stream beyond assassin's creed and doom is still unclear as statey apparently

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.280
runs on Linux in the vulcan API the giant question on everyone's mind

00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:01.199
however is latency the stadia controller will connect directly to the stadius

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:04.960
servers via wi-fi instead of routing through your device and google says they

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:08.880
developed a number of other ways to minimize lag on the back end but we

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.320
obviously can't know for sure until the service launches digital foundry got

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:16.479
some early testing done and found that latency is obviously higher than local

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:20.240
gaming on pc and consoles and that isn't going to fly for intense multiplayer FPS

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:26.479
games like anthem what my favorite game i hate anthem

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:30.000
as is usually the case with giant unveilings like this one there was a lot

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:33.920
of fanfare and not a lot of gritty details if stadia does what it says it

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:38.880
can do it could be the start of a revolution in game streaming i might

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:43.520
even throw on my gaming pc no that's not i'm tossing it it's gone different

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.880
things it's not for us no NVIDIA also

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.280
had a bunch of things to announce this week at gtc 2019 they're so full of

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:55.920
themselves that they had to have their own conference ray tracing will be coming to regular

00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:58.240
old gtx graphics cards the gtx 10 and 16

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.159
series gpus will be able to run a lower quality version of the technology once

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:07.280
the update rolls out fancy rt cores or no rtx is also coming to more games

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:12.480
including tomb raider finally remedy's upcoming game control and quake 2

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:16.879
of all things it actually looks super cool and it's

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:21.040
interesting as a showcase of what fancy lighting and textures can do even in low

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:25.599
polygon environments the unity game engine is also adding rtx support as a

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:28.879
built-in feature wow it's almost enough to make you believe in the glory of ray

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:32.720
tracing i should probably pre-order it wait no yeah yeah pre-order let's do it

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:37.840
you can't even pre-order i'm gonna i want it yeah vr headsets are kind kinda

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:44.319
blah but the hp reverb seems to address some of the medium's problems it has two

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:47.840
lcd panels with 2160 by 2160 pixels per

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.160
eye compared to the 2160 by 1200 per eye

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.840
resolution of the htc vive pro with a slightly larger field of view as well

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:57.760
it'll be available in late april starting at 600 usd

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:02.800
it also happens to look extremely similar to the oculus rift that is not

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:08.000
the new oculus rift s that was also just announced the rift s is a 400 pc

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:12.319
tethered headset that removes the need for external tracking cameras room scale

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.120
vr that can be accomplished via built-in tracking it also has upgraded lenses and

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:23.280
increased resolution but is still just 1280 by 1440 per eye and for some reason

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:27.360
oculus reduced the refresh rate from 90 to 80 hertz

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:31.519
no oculus that's you want higher refresh rates that's that's not how you do it

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.319

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.759

00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:04.560
existence unless chyna beats them to it you never know what huawei's got up

RAM in a single package similar to Intel's foveros technology it makes it

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:58.000
better because when you stack them it's better obviously totally you know stack

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:04.160
