BenVTrigger said: Pretty awesome sounding concept. The most interesting thing about this for me though is yet another developer saying they are using MS cloud computing to go "beyond the hardware". Turn 10 also stated Forza 5 will use real time cloud computing. Many people have laughed at the concept of cloud computing working in real time gameplay and yet we now have several developers saying it does and that they are using it.

I'd wait a bit before puting any faith into cloud computing. Sim City also claim to use cloud computing for their game and that was a load of BS.

Oh Im aware of that and PR spin is always a constant thing in the gaming industry.
That being said MS has been building and expanding their server side of the company for years now to massive success. In fact its one of the fastest growing parts in the entire company.
So its not unreasonable to think MS may have made some genuine breakthroughs in the cloud computing space. Remains to be seen still of course but the concept is great and in the long run if it works it could be a huge game changer.
