| SWORDF1SH said: That's just a weak argument I feel. What's the difference between cloud computing and a game that is online multiplayer only. You buy a games suited to you, so if you don't have interent, you don't buy a cloud computing game. Cloud computing pushes games further and the industry shouldn't be held back just because a few people want to bitch that they don't want to pay for interent fees just incase they buy it. |
I don't see how cloud pushes the industry forward. I just see it as a smaller step than completely streaming games through the internet. If we're going to accept that the internet is needed in order to use this tech and so add features not available directly from the consoles, then we also have to accept a better tech would be accessing ALL the data through the network. Cloud is just a stop gap for what Sony are going to achieve with Gaikai eventually. Cloud is one step back for the future, not one step forward.
I've waited patiently to make this point because I knew that those who are backing cloud would find ways of justifying always online. Why enhance something you bought with better AI and physics when you can run a system capable of running everything and stream it to an app on EVERY device capable of displaying a game?
