i can accept that online multiplayer requires an internet connection,.. there is an obvious reason for the need for an online connection and an obvious benefit in certain types of gameplay.

if ms wants to do cloud process they better be able to communicate a clear reason and obvious benefit.


and lol and those trying to link psnow steaming as an additional method to purchasing games to the idea of cloud processing being integrated into a game's single player mode making an internet connection the only option. if you can see such a massively, significant difference between the destiny dlc vs the dozens of other platform exclusive content coming in the next year surely you can see the difference here...

I thought that the fully destructible environments of Crackdown (3) seemed to be a big benefit.

Fully destructable environments are impossible. Notice PC games don't do it.

it's possible, just doesn't have much of an impact on gameplay, unless they can prove it does.

So far battlefield has proven scripted destruction can make a game fun, but can blowing stuff up for the sake of it add to the value of gameplay, i dunno.
