Did you even look at what i was referencing?  Or is your mind just completely set in pessimistic mode on this subject?

Read your own article, they say it "could be" not it is Crackdown tech. Not to mention that demo was done interally, with a direct connection to MS's server farm.

You said they could use it to offload things for cool purposes, I refuted that doing that over the Cloud is ridiculously impractical. You respond with how offloading could still be done over some kind of networking, semantics aside. I counter that with how the only things that could be offloaded without a performance hit that makes it counterproductive, so its not substaintial. No pessimism here. Just realism.

"Read your own article, they say "could be" not is Crackdown tech."

huh?  Did you skip this part?

Yes,”Spencer said, “build demo was early Crackdown work.” 

Now, obviously that doesnt mean that the final game will have this tech in it, but it is from crackdown.  So they are obviously playing around with the idea. 

This whole argument, and your attitude on the subject, just seem silly to me.  We are sitting here looking at video proof of how this kind of technology can be utilized and you are still saying it isnt possible. 

Correction

Yes,” Spencer said, “build demo was early Crackdown work.” The demo was shown at Microsoft's developer-centric Build conference in San Francisco, and was presented as a new prototype for PC.

Is what he said, didn't mention xb1 but you where right it is crack down.

Look, I don't get why your projecting all of things on to me...well I do, but I don't care. I don't have an attitude, I'm just a realist, and anyone with any idea of how networking works knows that this is widly impractical.

I never said it was impossible, mind you, just not very useful.

The US is 11 right now, that is terrible.

Maybe when connection speeds are better but def not now.
