Google officially announced "Stadia" today. No release date unfortunately. I'm curious about how well it will work for me, but I'm pretty sure the lag will be much worse than anything I have locally.

Is this like twitch uplay etc?
Lucasfilm Studios looking to do more Star Wars games without EA. I'm keen to see what they come up with
So the idea is you have a super powerful console in Google's nearest datacentre. Since you can't exactly run a super long HDMI cable from their datacentre to your TV they instead turn the video of it into a YouTube stream and you play the game using the Chrome browser as if you were controlling a YouTube video.Quote:

Any job postings for Lucasfilm Games is due to Disney wanting to make sure their game scene is staffed appropriately for any Lucasfilm properties.
Disney as a whole is still focused on third-party licensed development and are still very committed in working with EA.
I can’t see Lucasarts being restarted as a fully fledged development studio without a significant amount of cash, even with Disney’s deep coffers. Much cheaper to outsource nowadays. Prior to the acquisition byThanosDisney, Lucasarts had been outsourcing their games for a long time.
To be fair, games take a long time to make, if you're committing to doing the job properly. The current exclusivity deal runs out in 2023. They could be commencing development behind the scenes in the meantime so that they can release something shortly after the rights are released.
(Instead of doing what EA did which was getting the rights and not releasing anything for 30 months).
Or continuously cancelling games they are working on. We can hope that someone better will take over after the debacle of Battlefront.Quote:

If Lucasfilm Games makes a decent story-heavy singleplayer Star Wars game I'll be really happy, even if I have to wait another 4 years for it.
Maybe I should go play some KOTOR 1 and 2 since they are on Xbox One X backwards compatibility running in 4K.
I found KOTOR on tablet very playable. It's a shame KOTOR 2 hasn't been ported becasue I prefer 2 to 1.Quote:

Heck even if they did I for one wouldn't get a Stadia, I'm not a fan of renting/pay per month games and buying products that are streamed only is basically the same thing in my opinion.
