Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive isn't always-online, but cloud has "pretty large" potential

@Figgycal
isn't titanfall ???

As far as I know Titanfall is xbox exclusive (unless you count pc also)- so no. I just feel like I can't take their words for it because those developers are making a title exclusive on that platform. If Cod: Ghost or Assassin's Creed or a reputable 3rd party developer, making a multiplatform game were to say it- I'd be willing to trust them.



I'm sure I saw it wasn't out of the question to port it to PS4... oh well...
Me I don't care I know for a fact that cloud technology has potential even for game.... the real question is like Kinect 2.... will third party developer actually toy with it.....
a turned based strategy game a la risk could take advantage of the cloud with massive contextual fight a la galactic reign

i wonder if it will be a launch title


Highly doubt it, the fact that they had no gameplay to show at E3 is a bad sign.

Again, more developers talking good about the "cloud" and how it'll make games better. And still no developers discrediting it.

So can people finally stop making jokes and claims about it doing nothing of note?


Once I hear it from a third party developer that isn't making an xbox exclusive game.

But those would be the ones taking the most advantage of it.  Why such a extreme caveat?  Neither Respawn, Turn 10 nor Insomniac have made ridiculous claims, but it's still not good enough?  

I remember a time when gamers used to be excited about the potential uses of new technology.  I just don't get this ...

I feel like it could be awesome, but I'm not at all impressed by pr talk or what sounds like it could be too good to be true (claiming to triple a console game's perfomance sounds like it could be one of those things) . I'll wait and see for myself how much the cloud actually improves a game, but in the meantime- I won't take the word of people that are making an exclusive game for a platform to describe how powerful it is. It's the same as when people say, "This is only possible on x system because of y"- that's always BS- someone always gets paid for that.

Gamers too often burned by over-promise and under-deliver? Video gamingis repleat with examplesof shiny new tech that hsn't delivered the goods. Even the relatively successfull and wildly succesful things haven't quite stacked up: Wiimote and Kinect as the prime examples. Mouse and keyboard, and bog standard controller have stood the test of time and seen of all of the competition as the primary input for gaming.

I like that gamers are approaching the cloud with a healthy skepticism. That way we're more likely to be pleasently surprised, or at worst simply ambivalent. But there's no way people are going to wind up disappointed even if the cloud ends up failing to deliver on the PR hype.

depends really what you look for in playing.... I consider myself a hardcore casual gamer (meaning I play way more games than most hardcore gamer wanabe play but I'm not doing it to do MLG or pro level gaming it's a pure entertainment I like to share with friends of all sex and age)

Me I simply hate gaming with a keyboard and mouse.... yet I agree it is the best most responsive input style but it is the shittiest one in terms of immersion realism and fun.....
I always hated the fact that you can do a 180 in a millisec or stuff super fast and all.... this is great for competitive play but uber lame for casual play.... especially when I play a solo game... I seek fun, comfort and convenience..... none of which are remotely accomplished by a PC keyboard/mouse setup unless you have a super expensive set up with a nice PC gaming long chair with top of the line mouse and armrest and yet it still not fun IMO...

for example I have way more fun playing Kinect sport table tennis than playing table tennis form rockstar.... if they did a new one on Kinect 2 with Kinect support i'd be all over that....



I want cloud to be good and a used idea. But there are so many times when companies lied at the launch of systems. PS2 having Toy Story graphics was one I really got mad at. And all that plastic crap like the Wii Zapper gun is gonna be used in a ton of games. We got like 10? The joke Wii speak mic thing... I always stay cautious.
