better be prepared with a high speed internet for cloud, yes!

Is it any different then today MMO or MP game.  Even Playstation Now, Onlive ect.  If a game is going to be dependant on the cloud it would be no different from games that are dependent on a constant connection.  I higly doubt that the majority of games will go down that line but games like Titanfall, Destiney, The Division etc can reap the benefit of extra resources if avaliable.


Hold the phone here, are you saying that a game running 100% on a cloud pc is the same thing as a game running 1/3 of the operations on a local machine and then using cloud power for the other 2/3rds of the game? As in every single frame will need to be made of both local and cloud information and graphics.

What you are saying here is that a games console where 2/3rds of the CPU/GPU was in the control pad is the same as a console with a control pad? Also the control pad is miles away and connected to the system by your net speed... but still, cloud run games and cloud enhanced stuff promised here are not the same.

Very strange how the cloud is depicted in the OPs pic.... 3 X1's hooked up to every X1 which sells? Are they legit trying to convince people that if they buy one console you are also buying 3 dedicated exact same machines somewhere else which are going to just be running your games AI? It's almost insulting.

Hold the phone here, my words says exactly what they mean with no interpretation required.  First and formost you and I have no clue exactly how the cloud would work within a game or how each scene would be created.  You have no clue the bandwidth needed nor the ping time required.  You do not know if its every other scene or every scene or if the information is just streamed ahead of the user progress.  You have no clue what info will be streamed and how.  There are so many things we do no know that trying to make some type of conclusion is fruitless IMHO.

As for the slides, without knowing exactly what is said its hard to come to any conclusion.  Is there a transcript that we can read.
