The "Cloud" isn't platform exclusive. You just need an internet connection.
Even the Dreamcast could have theoretically leveraged it.

The idea that Microsoft's cloud computing technology is a selling point for Xbox One and gives it computing advantages other consoles don't get.

This isn't true as any developer can do this.

I still love the technique it makes a lot of things much greater Like the ai soldiers in titanfall 1 &2 or the destruction in bf1 also like the 100+ ai enemies in halo 5`s coop mode and i love the drivatar technologie, because its fun to see how they are learning.

In this point you are right but microsoft is the only one who is using it in their exclusives like halo 5, GoW 4 Forza series and now sea of thieves.

Ea is using it also in some games like battlefield or titanfall.

You people don't understand!

There are clouds in the game! And the rain from the clouds is necessary to have a sea and realistic looking waves. Otherwise the ships couldn't even swim without all that water.

...at least that's how I read it.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

You need hot air to make clouds and waves, and that article is provind plenty :)

I always knew it was those big propellor things that made the wind, that's why it's getting more windy nowadays, more propellor thingies around.

And its impact is just like MS had advertised right?

sorry i dont understand it can you formulate it differently?

"And its impact is just like MS had developed right?"

you mean that?

if yes , so yeah they invested a lot of potential to use it in a very good way

if not, then i think ea also advertised it a lot for battlefield and titanfall....

Have EA promised everyone Xbox would be like they were using multiple Xbox and how much more strong and high quality their games would be by using "The Cloud"?

The main problem is the bad weather effects these clouds generate in the game.

Yes, the waves look great, but beyond the gee-whiz factor, does the ability to have improved physics through cloud computing actually, qualitatively improve the typical game experience to a large enough degree to justify the additional complications? You see, my issue with this is that it results in more games that require online. The three sides of the equation—your internet connection, the game's servers, and the online service being used—must all be functioning. If any of those three things have issues, that has a negative impact. And if any one of them goes down for any reason, the game is unplayable. And eventually, the game's servers will be shut down, rendering it permanently unplayable.

as long as this BS is kept away from single player games, its fine.
