Is that possible to implement some features like real-time multiplayer by using Google Play Game services without developer console?
According to the official documentation you have to "set up the game in the Google Play Developer Console" as step 2 instruct you to. I do not see any other way, if you do not want to implement all functionality yourself.

I want to implement the "sign in with Google" button in my Android app. And I read this:
Before you can start integrating Google Sign-In in your own app, you
must configure a Google Developers Console project and set up your
Android Studio project. The steps on this page do just that. The next
steps then describe how to integrate Google Sign-In into your app.
And in order to publish the app I need also a Google Play Console, and I was wondering why do I need to create a Project in Google Developers Console?
Can I make this also in Google Play console??
What is the difference between Google Developers console and Google Play console?
Thanks

Google Developers console you can think of as a Google "Cloud" console. Almost anything to do with interacting with Google servers from your app is done there. Most of the APIs and features are cross-platform iOS, Android and Web. You can find it at https://console.developers.google.com/.
Signing in with Google is a cloud feature, and cross-platform so lives there. You can have a Google account on any platform.
Google Play console is focused on publishing your app to Android users. If you want stats for running your business, to affect the store listing, or roll out a new APK that's where to go.
I have a google play app, linked to a google play game services project. However, I believe I accidentally deleted the google play game services project from the google developer console, so now it shows up in google play developer console, but not in the google developer console. In the google play developer console, in the game services project, I'm constantly getting
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. (1700404)
(I'm assuming this is because the underlying developer console project was deleted). Well, now it's really screwed up because I can't add a new game services project, but the current one isn't going to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I recommend that you start again from the beginning with a new app in the Google Play Developer Console (i.e. use a different apk name). Do not make changes to Google Play Game Services apps in the developer console (if indeed that is its current name) unless specifically instructed to do so by a reliable source (e.g. a google guide).
You will find many tales of woe on Stack Overflow concerning problems arising from making changes in the developer console to Google Play Game Services apps. e.g :
Google Play Game Services - unable to sign in
Is it possible to implement rating system for in-game objects (just like app rating in google play store) using Google Play Game Services API?
I never used it before and didn't find suitable chapter, but may be it has low level API for such things.
Or may be Leaderboard API can be used somehow.
Check out RatingBar. It is not part of the Google Play Games Services API, but it will allow you to implement a star rating system.
I have released a game that uses Google Game Services on Google Play. Everything works, but when I look on my game in Google Play it doesn't show that it's using Game Services. Some other games do (like Riptide GP for instance). What is controlling this?
Implementing the Google Play Game Services features is not sufficient, your users have to use the service for you to get the badges.
Let me quote from this video from Google I/O 2013: Practical Android Games Development
http://youtu.be/ZbQWf7C5ymU?t=23m39s
"As you get more users you will get badges. [...] However, they are not just given out because you put them in the config, and we don't snoop your APK to see if you are making API calls from there. We verify how much the feature is being used and if you meet certain threshold we give you a badge. So you need to actually integrate it, it is not a token thing that you can put there to get more eyeballs in the store."
