Forums - Microsoft - Cloud Processing won't mean a thing for the Xbone

 

The Cloud will...

Significantly improve games 63 12.57%
 
Improve some games somewhat 65 12.97%
 
Might be used well here and there 101 20.16%
 
Merely PR BS 271 54.09%
 
Total:500

I'm etching my opinion in the permanency of a thread. I've done it before to some extent, but I feel the need to be a little bit more dramatic.

 The cloud processing 'advantage' of the Xbone won't mean jack-shit in actual game performance.

 

Here are two relevant articles on the issue:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-in-theory-can-xbox-one-cloud-transform-gaming

 

Pie in the sky - that's all it is. And that makes all the articles, hype and other nonsense even more unbearable.

 

So can we never, ever, ever talk about it again until someone actually SHOWS and example of it!? Wishful thinking I know.

Is Pezus offline?

If the don't show something specific at e3 then I win.

While I haven't read the article yet. I would have to agree with you. This cloud processing thing has a lot of how Sony sounded when talking up the Cell processor, how the PS3 would get more powerful over time as more things used the Cell so the game should improve.

Cloud processing has the same drawbacks as streaming full games. You need the bandwidth to do it and right now only a small part of the game market has the bandwidth in their area to be able to benefit from it. So the only things I see it benefiting is percistant games and creating the opportunity for larger multiplayer games.

Well read the ars article, you might want to find a way to seperate the run on links. I had to find the article "manually". It agress with was I said about it, it will just be used to "improve" the world and not improve anything that needs constant updating.

Man Xbox One must be one big piece of sh%t.

For everything they announced about it so far, there is not a single aspect that posters at VGchartz don't have any issues with and can see as a positive.

I totally agree with this.

I don't know about that cloud processing advantage... It's not like Sony can't use that kind of tech too. If it proves to have any potential, then it's most likely going to be used by the industry left and right down the line.

But I'm very skeptical about it. The online infrastructures are really "not there" yet.  And really, they'd have to explain exactly what it would be used for and how it is used... Because when they say that it will multiply the power of the XBO by four... 

... Yeah, right.
