Outside of modeling specs of how you drive, exactly how is ther Drivatar any different than the Pawns from Dragon's Dogma, but run on the server side?

The thing is people are hyping it like blast processing, without understanding what is going on.  It is stuff going on to day in various forms, and people were hyping it like it would make up for the graphics difference between the PS4 and ONE, and everything and the kitchen sink.  The hyping has been drinking buzzword kool-aid, with individuals hyping it, not knowing what the heck they are talking about.

What you have pretty much the bulk, is the ONE will have dedicated servers, which were made to not be such a big deal for the 360 back in the day when the 360 didn't get dedicated servers.  No one really thought much of it on the Microsoft partisan side, even as the Sony camp yelled at the Microsoft camp.  This came up in defense of people defending XBOX Live, which was pretty much entirely peer to peer and arguing dedicated servers don't matter.

Never played Dragon's Dogma. But this concept is not new. Even on PS2/XBox, NFL2k5 had an AI profile type thing you could download of another player and play against. It was supposedly like playing that actual player, but the results were terrible.

Who really cares what kids on some forums say. I haven't seen anyone here going crazy with hyping it up.

What you have right now are dedicated servers and loads of potential for the future. Again, the tech is awesome and some of us understand the potential. There is no reason to not be excited about the cloud. As for the partisan part, cool? Fanboys gonna fanboy I guess. Who cares?
