? It has to upload the data to a server.. That data is stored somewhere.. that server deals with the assigning my Avatar, my times to an AI profile.. creating an unique AI profile cause on some tracks I'm just better then on others.... another user.. one of my friends.. needs to access the server to download my AI data.. so my AI data with my avatar and name can race against them.. How is that not using cloud?

It's using data stored on a server, but that doesn't equal to "cloud". From a technical point, that Real Racing 3 feature is almost no different from the online leaderboards/high score lists in games like Little Big Planet or whatever. And yet people usually aren't screaming "Behold! The power of the cloud!" when they see online leaderboards in a game.

Did you make the game? Calling it nothing more then a leaderboard is a bit downgrading.. If it was that easy surely more games would have done it.. Anyway it is way more fun than a leadboard.. racing against AI opponents modeled after your friends is fun, I would never have know that famousringo is a more agressive driver then tomatito without this.. it impacts the gameplay.. but I do wonder what do you classify as "cloud"? it usage data stored on a server and use calculations to make the AI profile, I know my iPhone isn't doing that.. what more do you need to classify it as Cloud?
