Google Stadia Review: 4K Image Quality Analysis, Latency Tests. Is This Really The Future Of Gaming?

Correction: The Pro streaming option consumes 20GB per hour, not per second!!

Our first look at Google Stadia concentrates on the 'Pro' subscription service and its 4K image quality, alongside the usual latency tests. Everything stacked up against Xbox One X - how does Stadia hold up? Note that while we've tried our best to preserve image quality on YouTube, Stadia footage is going through two tiers of compression here, so will look better in 'real life'.
