What you think of Crackdown's Cloud Computing?

No, this is not even remotely possible. "Stream the polygons" - we live in 2015, not 1995.

So what do you think Crackdown is supposed to stream? poligons falling apart?

Data. Finished computed data and positions how the destruction will be. Taking away the dynamic, computational hard work with already calculated data so the game only has to render it, without computing it itself.

It is worded "cloud computing" because you offload complex math to it. Not to have a constant stream of data. With this, you end up with a high latency game streaming like PSNow.
