Sounds like some Google exec recently discovered Adobe Flash and wants to relive the heyday of Newgrounds. I guess if it gets us a new Hedgehog Launch or Crush the Castle it won’t be all bad. Just have to wonder if the games will survive the inevitable closing down of the project in a couple years?
Got all that stadia trash just laying around, Let’s roll it into youtube. Nobody will notice!
Who wants this? 🤔🤷♂️
Ever heard of “New Grounds?” They’re basically about to recreate that place. Now all they need is a forum and it’ll be complete!
Sadly, we have to accept that we are old and a lot of people grew up after the glory days of New Grounds.
Indeed. New Grounds was before my time, but I’ve been there. The point was more to illustrate that there is definitely potential in this thing.
It actually kind of makes sense if it’s using stadia technology. You hit up your favorite streamer, and then if you want to play the same game they can spin up a window for you regardless of your PC specs.
Seems half-baked. Are they trying to resurrect the flash game? It could work as a standalone thing, but I don’t see why it needs to be part of YouTube other than the fact they’re going to shove it in our faces just like they did their TikTok clone.
Is…. Is this not just stadia but on YouTube?
Imagine that. Just going on YouTube, searching for a game, pick up your controller and just play. Like no installation and no loading times. That sounds like the future! But yeah, I guess there are some issues that needs to be ironed out before we’re there.
Isn’t that what Stadia was supposed to be? We have the tech, people are just so skeptical of Google (with good reason) that the project died. As for what they are talking about here, it seems they are trying to replace the old flash game sites. It could work, but I think they might be butting up against the mobile market more than they realize with this.
