I'm playing through 7 at the moment. My time is limited these days and I'm a wuss when it comes to horror games so I'm playing it on easy and have a guide to hand if I get stuck...and possibly look ahead for any jump scares.... While it kinda feels like cheating I have to say I'm loving it.

Just on this, I don't understand how some people have a problem with playing a game on easy mode or using a guide etc. Play the game however you want, as long as you personally enjoy you play the game then there's no problem. That includes using cheats.

Exactly. You've bought the game. Enjoy it whatever way you want.

Any idea how long it takes for the hardware email to arrive?

The T's and C's say you should receive a redemption code for the Premiere kit through email associated with Stadia account by 11:59PM on June 10th.

So by next Monday basically.

For the Cyberpunk deal I remember me and my mates all getting the email within 24 hours of game launch and receiving the bundle within 2-3 days. Very quick delivery.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order added to Pro today. Looks decent...

Started playing this today. Looks good, fun so far. Stadia has been rock solid lately too I've noticed..

Got email not so long ago, ordered

Got my code to order Premiere edition yesterday evening and ordered straight away, has an expected delivery date of Tuesday.

Very straight forward and it's good not having to wait until next week before getting code.

Haven't had a chance to play RE Village yet but looking forward to it particularly after playing the demo. Seems to be getting very solid reviews.

How has it been running for people on Stadia?

I played on the demo on stadia and it ran great.

There is an update coming that will unlock bridge mode. Essentially allowing you to use your phone as the link to stadia on Chromecast. You can then plug in an Xbox or PS controller, or even use the phone touch screen to play on the TV.

It is similar to the tandem mode. If you plug your Xbox controller into the stadia one you can use the Xbox controller.

But if an odd feature, it doesn't give you two controllers. Both controllers act as one. But I guess if you didn't like the stadia controller it could be handy.

Presume they are sending the codes in batches as I haven't got mine yet

The free premier edition offer is still on if anyone is on the fence.

I just picked it up. It's my third premier edition. I got the day 1 one, the cyberpunk one and now REVIII

Think I'll get the turquoise controller this time.

I don't mind the kids are really getting into gaming now so I need the extra controllers anyway.

I don't think you get to choose, do you? I thought you just got the Premiere Edition, which only comes with a white controller.

Appreciate that! Resident Evil doesn't interest me at all though so I'll pass on this offer.

Hopefully they'll run it again with another game.

Got my code just now. About the 24 hours. Ordered and should have the premier edition by the end of the week.

Played the first 30 mins of RE8 too. Plays pretty well. A few stutters but I'd say that is more the RE engine than Stadia.

Friend of mine is due to get his tomorrow. Pretty quick delivery again from Google.

radius345

Got my dispatch mail yesterday saying it would arrive tomorrow Weds 12th.

Text from DHL this morning to say it will arrive today.

Very impressive turnaround and looking forward to giving it a bash this evening after it arrives.

I'm similar to a lot of other people re Stadia - I haven't consistently gamed since I was a teenager and rediscovering gaming over the last few weeks has been brilliant. And amazing to think that games I played twenty years ago (RE series etc) are still going strong.

I know there seems to be a bit of apathy towards Stadia but I personally am really enjoying the immediacy of it. Happy to pay the sub each month if they keep churning out games I will play.

Surely if FIFA 22 supports crossplay it would be a no brainer to bundle that with a premier edition. That could put Stadia in the hands of a lot of people that may only have a console for FIFA.

If next gen consoles are still scarce in 6 months time and Stadia has the next gen version of FIFA and other 3rd party games then it may sway some more people to try it out. Crossplay would be essential for FIFA, agreed.

I have fibre broadband here on 5ghz in the sitting room I get speeds between 75-90 download and between 30-50 upload. Would this be enough for online play ? Can't justify a series X for basically FIFA and the young fella is happy with his Xbox1 for another year or so.

Brian201888

Yeah that'll be plenty for it

Got my stadia delivered yesterday but no email or code yet for RE8. when should I expect it or will it be on my account when I set it up later?
thanks

I would imagine that when you log into Stadia, RE8 will be immediately available to play. No activations or codes required.

DeSelby83

Ye, as soon as you buy anything on stadia it's available straight away, other than a pre order obviously.

I side loaded stadia onto Chromecast with Google TV. It didn't like it , stream was very jumpy. I'll wait for an official update.

They said first half of this year for an official roll-out. They're cutting it tight though,
