Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft are finally showing the Power of the Cloud

......I'm not convinced.

Lets all just wait for Crackdown 3 to see if the cloud still exists or not.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Ok here is a question

When Microsoft moves on the next console and the xbox one one stops working with the cloud, will that ocean be sands that we as pirates walk across lol

The power of the cloud doesn't seem to be doing all that much for the game.
Look at the interaction between the ships and the water.
Granted, it is an early build of the game on display.

GDC is right around the corner: I expect to hear more then.

Going by that vid, it seems they use "the cloud" (I hate that buzz word that really just means servers), to synchronize the waves across consoles, not calculate the physics for them.  In fact, it seems the waves have a set pattern to how they move based on the time it is, so it doesn't exactly react to the ships.



Secret sauce confirmed?

Shhh... let the millennial's believe that their time is unequivocally better than ours.

Vgchartz sure hates anything positive about Xbox to be posted. This forum is really something else when it comes to console bias.

Perhaps you should think why you are sensitive about people picking up a corporation for the stuff they come out with. 

But sure you continue to fight the good fight and claim its bias when actually all you are doing is allowing these companies to get away with their BS. MS to their credit have at least generally gone quiet about their cloud power (cause they know its not what they said it would).

I mean the original cloud and Kinect sales pitches are as bad as the original PS3 stuff (doing 120 FPS) etc etc. But yeah its everyone else thats wrong...

Interesting concept. Hopefully it can be built upon in the coming years.

So a working concept is being regarded as memery these days?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

You have been reported. If you don't like my articles then don't click on it. 

I was neither lying nor exaggerating. Just telling the objective truth.

You're completely BSing.  The idea that the ocean physics would be handled client on an OG Xbox one during pvp ship battles is absurd, and would result in a completely laggy mess.  The "handling of complex physics calculations in real time" is what's happening.  You really have no idea how complex the physics simulations being used are,  and even if they explained it you wouldn't understand it soo.....stop lying.
