The US search giant promises to release many new, exclusive titles every year for its brand new streaming games platform.
Previously, when Microsoft was criticized for not offering attractive exclusive titles for the Xbox platform, it decided to “play big” by buying a number of big game developers to produce games for the platform. Now Google seems to be beginning to apply the same strategy to its Stadia “cloud” gaming platform, which will build a number of its own internal game production studios to create titles. Games dedicated to the platform.
In March, Google unveiled a concrete plan to “transform” itself into a professional game producer, starting with small steps. Accordingly, US search firm Ubisoft and Jade Raymond, an “experienced” games expert from EA, will commission Ubisoft to manage a games production studio called Stadia Games and Entertainment. However, in a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Raymond stated that Google does not intend to stop in a studio.
“We plan to build many first-party-owned studios – that’s Google,” Raymond said. She further revealed that Google will release exclusive games every year for the stadium platform, including games that are capable of performing operations that current game consoles cannot perform, such as full physics simulations or integrating the Google Wizard to read the lines of non-player-controlled characters in the game.
Physical effect simulations are possible because Stadia works on a distributed cloud architecture, so the computing power of multiple game servers can be combined to reproduce the foot effects. very realistic.
Raymond also said that in the future the list of games on Stadia will no longer be the same as when it was launched – currently most games available on this platform come from third parties.
But she also said that Google “is currently developing a whole range of proprietary games” that run in the cloud, and “players will not have to wait a few years to experience new, exclusive games”. This year Google will release a few new games every year. “
