So I recently took part in the Assassins Creed Odyssey streaming beta for Google's "Project Stream" service. I was as skeptical as the next gamer, thinking, "this is gonna be garbage."
Um... That Onlive fanboy might have been on to something... This sh*t works!!! Lets break it down
My internet,

We have shit for water, but apparently the internet is ok...
Seriously though, the majority of the U.S. must have something comparable. I'm just an average Joe consumer with mid range internet capabilities...
I noticed no input lag when playing the game. I played wired on my office PC as well as on wifi on my gameroom, 4K machine. The game ran like a champ! The only compromise I ever observed was resolution and video quality. The second I saw it, I thought to myself, "is this worse than base PS4 or Xbox One gamers are seeing?" The answer is, "I don't know." That may not seem convincing, but consider the hardware required. You must at minimum buy a $229.99 console "new" from a major retailer to get one. This game drops resolution when required for performance, 900p in order to run at near 30 fps... That's wild... We are already seeing a case for streaming games vs dedicated hardware! Anything running this version of Googles software should be able to compare...
Is streaming really the future? Are the days of console makers selling hardware at a loss over???
Strap in "hardcore gamers." It's gonna be a wild ride!!!!
