So do they confirm that the waves are calculated by the "power of the cloud"?

This all their in depth analysis on that

A complex, dynamic wave system has been engineered, enabling a wide variety of conditions ranging from a calm, clear ocean to powerful, tempestuous storms. The waves are synchronised between individual systems too, allowing the simulation to line up between each console when playing together online.

I doubt the cloud does anything, just makes sure each console is generating the same combination.

Anyway didn't AC 4 already have dynamic oceans. No multiplayer though.

If Teh Cloudz would actually do any calculation, people with bad internet would have a lagging ocean. There is no cloud calculation in this game, never was. This was just speculation from some random website a few weeks ago.
