I don't think many studios will use it other that MS's 1st party studios but we should see some great things. BTW this isn't exclusive to MS, PC and X1. PS4 is more than capable to also do this. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony is looking to do this with their Gaikai company right now. |
I don't want cloud computing to be implemented fully into general gaming as in the majority of games being on the cloud. The negatives outweigh the positives. On a worldwide level, PSN and xbox live are no where near good or stable enough to be depended on to work all the time. Hell, on world wide level, the internet is not good enough for it. Going from to being able to play offline when you want to always online and more restrictive DRM are also huge negatives. What happens when a game is no longer supported by the cloud? We just can't play it. This is a tech that will hurt gaming in the long run.
To me, this a shit sandwich. There's some people on this trying to convince others why they should eat a shit sandwich and why it would better for everyone if they ate it too. If a few companies want to use it in gaming on small scale. FIne but I don't want it used by most devs to make their games.
