So being skeptical = being a hater? Are you suggesting I'm a hater?

Because that would be laughable, if that's the case.  If not, I can understand your point to some extent. But I've seen plenty of MS fans doubting that feature as well. So what's the big deal. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying I'm skeptical it can provide as big a performance boost as they claimed it can during the reveal event.  I'm also skeptical about it because they haven't yet provided any actual demo that showcased the possibilities. It's all PR at this point.

And I'll make this clear: I don't doubt the PS4 will push the graphics that were shown during the reveal event, the same as I don't see a reason to believe the Forza 5 and Quantum Break's footage weren't actually in-game graphics.  So, sorry, if I'm skeptical about one thing about the XBO's cloud processing supposed game changing feature... There was just not much to question about the PS4's event when it comes to the specs of the console.

Oh, yes... At what clock is its CPU running? 


It's a over simplification of a long post but for some users they have let skepticism turn into a irrational hate, I didn't call you a hater though.  I myself have from the first announcement been skeptical about how much performance they will get from cloud computing, you can check my post history which does backup my claim.  I have many doubts about the XBO but most of those doubts are based on a lack of facts and rumour from sites desperate for hits.  I fully expect E3 to resolve many doubts once and for all.  Cloud computing will produce some benefits, the only question is how much, like Dr.Grass I believe the 4x improvement claim to be a embelishment of the truth but if it gives only a 50% improvement then that would be unheard of in console terms and a huge innovation not deserving of so much derision. 

 

@Dr.Grass - I have no problem if people share their opinion according to the rules but when you have posters derailing positive threads with deliberately negative off topic posts then a line is crossed.  This is happening so often that even the "non bashing" threads become tiresome to read at times.  I have no problem with threads like this, I knew what the thread would be like before I entered so if I thought it would be annoying I could of not entered the thread.  Anyway, I've said my thoughts on where I stand on the issue at the present time, hopefully you'll get some of the other Xbox fans share their opinion.
