but does it have Blast Processing?!!!! Cloud powered gaming only can be used if you are truly online 100% of the time, for any offline campaign based games they literally have to work those games 100% around the power of what's in the box, otherwise offline you are left with a game which doesn't work, at all.

Offline? Xbox One? Not for long. Literally.

No dev working on it exclusively is gonna count on "offline" with it. And the multiplay makers have the other two consoles to factor in - neither needing online.


it's bad enough if you are playing a game like WoW when someones net goes down to see a player running on the spot but to thought that if you dc from XBL and all the cars around you are suddenly going to crash into a wall in your single player race is awful. Or better still what happens to playing Forza when XBL servers are down for a few hours? no single player AI? really?

For example, the exclusive Dead Rising 3, is, according to capcom, impossible without "the cloud", for reasons I don't exactly remember... perhaps zombie number or their AI (IIRC). The X1 is centered around always on, and if servers go down for long enough - no games for you, really.
