Unless a game is specifically designed for cloud gaming, and is server based, and is for massive environments, very little is there. There latency is absurd involved. But one can keep telling themselves otherwise. Unless shown otherwise, it is "blast processing". And I will take your reply as being "none", because you really can't say. You are just hurting that Microsoft has shown NOTHING that would offer it an advantage over the PS4 in ANY capcity. You can't name it, so you won't. In the case of what I wrote, the PS4 is planning on streaming content and doing processing off the system itself, if needed. As far as cloud computing goes anyhow, it is nothing but shorthand for virtualization, meaning you have an easier time managing servers. Unless streaming and turning a client into a dumb terminal, you do get some client-server action going. You can't show any way that this would work to prove superiority and show that always on Internet with the One is for nothing but cloud storage and DRM. You can't. You will name vapors. But go ahead and show otherwise. If you can't even post a link to a SINGLE article to show how it works better, then you are blowing smoke in desperation out of fear Microsoft isn't going to come out on top. |
I did not even talk about Microsoft's claims in any way. And I'm not even talking about what is doable with the cloud processing or not... It is just a matter of comparing apples and oranges and then starting thread hoping for people to bash again on the Xbox One. If you want to talk about the advantage of steaming on the PS4, fine... Of the advantage of the cloud processing and the 3 VCPUs available to each Xbox One for developpers, fine (even if you do not see any advantage here). But just stop comparing then like the streaming capabilities of Gaikai would be the same thing.
My point is that these are just 2 distinct features (or advantages if you want to call them that way).
