And many didn't believe the logic behind it all.

Cobretti2 said: why though? most people that were not keen on the cloud want physical copies of their games. Going all service based is you loosing what you own. Also the power of the cloud was stupid because lets say I bought a game and it relied on the cloud to made the game function, what would happen to my game once the cloud service is turned of for that console? Would it even load or the hardware bet to poor to run it on it's own lol? That was the issue with that scenario. |
You mean just like what if your electricity blacks out or your internet drops out with MMOs on any online video game, or your TV breaks down. Lets not pretend that you are completely covered because you own the physical game. If you cannot download that day one patch your physical game is rendered useless. The industry owns more control over your physical media than you think.
I have a few games I own the actual disks for and they have been taken down and are no longer available. The disks are useless.

ratchet426 said: No, not really. At the time, Microsoft's claim was that the "Power of the Cloud" was going to improve the Xbox One's graphics performance by offloading graphics processing to the cloud to augment the Xbox's GPU, in real time. That claim was and still is total and complete bulls#!t - a smoke and mirrors marketing ploy to try to convince the buying public that the Xbox really wasn't weaker, graphics horsepower wise, to the PS4. What they are pitching now is similar to PSNow and Google's ProjectStream; a game streaming service that does all the processing in the cloud and just displays the pre-rendered graphics to your screen. |
So you mean just like what Nintendo is doing with the Cloud with RE7 etc? Actually increasing performance on the games via streaming? And you still call it BS? Its as simple as it wasn't ready yet, but it existed and they were trying to implement it early. Sometimes these things happens and companies need to postpone there plans. Keep a close eye on Scarlet streaming boxes.
