Only gullible fanboys believe this tech can do complex physics calculations in real-time. Sea of Thieves water has nothing to do with the cloud, which you’ll be easily able to demonstrate if you just limit your bandwidth and nothing will change with the water.

They aren’t even able to transmit player positions lag free...it’s naive to believe complex destruction like in that fake Crackdown demo, or the water in SoT will be able to calculate that way.

 

Also...what does an aging character have to do with the cloud? The author had smoked some good stuff for sure.

For one i am not talking about the aging mechanic so let's make that clear.

Do you have proof that the Crackdown 3 demo is fake and that the cloud processing doesnt work?

Also regardless if Sea of Thieves uses the Cloud for its water effects does not take away the brilliance that Rare has achieved with there water in there game.

 

The water truly looks amazing...but that’s not related to The Cloud. 

Did you see any destruction in the last Crackdown trailer? We all know they used this locally PC calculated demo a few years back in order to make people believe the underpowered X1 would suddenly become more powerful. It was a marketing tool, nothing more.

Even if they did the calculation in the cloud, it would only work in a controlled, possibly lad-free environment. It’s a whole different story in the WWW with half the people not having a decent internet connection with drop outs, lag, bad ping times, low bandwidth etc. Every tech savvy person will tell you this is not going to work as shown in that demo in real life environments and net realities, and you’ll see once the game will (hopefully) be released later this year.

Feel free to quote me in your sig if I’m wrong.
