Why would they need to when they have the cloud!

MS is bringing back Blast Processing confirmed. The "risk" he's referring to is that studios might explode if they don't harness all that volatile processing power correctly.

maybe a kinect and other apps OS totally disable ver. XB1 on mainly focusing for hardcore gamers in future...??

talking about the cloud, seems nintendo is also interested in it fro wiiu

The Nintendo European Research and Development are looking toexplore cloud computing, as confirmed in a recent Iwata Asks.

In an interview earlier this month, the group - known as NERD for short, formerly Mobiclip - discussed their goals working with Nintendo. The group are aiming to work on new technological capabilities for Nintendo hardware, and one of these areas includes Cloud computing.

The developers at Nintendo headquarters need to spend their time developing the actual platform, so I think we'd like to explore areas that they don't have time for. For example the possibilities which are opened up by the combination of cloud technologies and new software paradigms like general purpose GPU programming.

Cloud computing would allow developers to use the processing ability of dedicated computers and servers to perform tasks and relay the information back to the user. For example, process additional game functionality - like rendering an open world - over the internet.

What are your thoughts on Cloud computing and whether it could help enrich or hinder gaming?

This just in: Reading comprehension among the world's gamers is at an all time low!

Seriously, he's just saying that the same thing that's happened during every generation till now will also happen next gen. It's not rocket science, and it's not "secret sauce."

Pot smoking Pixies, that's where the smoke was coming from.

never under estimate ze cloud

This is such bullshit. There is no secret sauce of any kind. We know the full capabilities of the hardware now. Console has been weighed, it has been measured, and it's definitely been found wanting. But seriously, been dissected by tech gods. As to do something different to allow better performance (optimize), this is a no brainer and goes for all consoles over time. But it's nothing to "unlock" or "hidden".

I guess the rumors of MS using a higher level DX like API and not allowing true low level hardware access were true...

The most bullshit in this thread is from people who don't understand what CDPR dev said - pure reaction based off older comments. He is not saying *anything* about secret sauce but other ways to exploit the hardware even better.
