Why wouldn't a game use the cloud on a system designed for the awesomeness of the cloud? Somewhere down the line we'll see the "improvement" and we'll all reply with 'meh'.

The system is nothing more than a cable box that plugs into my cable box which adds access to a fanatasy football system and a Halo TV show from a company that didn't even have enough conviction to stay the course and keep the only unique features about it because of internet butt hurt regarding online confirmation and game sharing. I know I am being harsh here but the system itself is sub par without the use of the cloud which itself is a theory on what it can bring to the table and that's the single most important issue. 

Microsoft made the Chrome Book for consoles, unless you have internet access, have fun with our over priced cable box.

'meh'

who cares? The game wouldn't be any better with the most amazing graphics ever.

True he didn't say it but its a possibility but to deny the possibility will only make you more a fanboy towards sony. Whether its true or no t, well we just have to wait till it comes out right ? :)

I read perfectly well, I am questioning your ability to understand context.  You make a claim that Crytek stated they have the most advance character, and you use the poly count as a reference.  The link you provided states, they have the most advance animation.  The two are not the same.  If you are stating the two are the same then it is I who is sorry.  I understand if English is not your native language but even in other languages context makes a big difference.

You made a claim but still have not backed it up.  Now it appears you are trying to be above your statement.  If you cannot find a link that supports your claim then just say so and move on.  Throwing out fluff statements will not support your claim.  You have not proven your claim and thats pretty much where I stand.  You can just ignore this post if you cannot find proof and I will let it drop.

I'm denying the possibility... I'm saying there are not trying 1080p for the final build... if he is confirming 1080p is because the build showed yesterday already runs at 1080p.

The linke says what I quoted here (I used this source to make my quote)... it is not about animation part lol.

Again I already proved my clain true in on of the first post in this thread with the quote to that article... I won't do that again just becasue you can't read a article... I refuse to make the work two times.

"Our main character, Marius Titus, is possibly the most detailed main protagonist in any game. Our character models are incredibly detailed, with some of the most advanced facial animations ever seen in video games. Our environments are gorgeous. We have really solid combat mechanics coupled with our unique cinematic executions that will really make you feel connected to the battle. All of this is wrapped in an intricate and intriguing story of revenge, featuring an unforgettable cast of historical characters!”

ethomasz he never says what you say he says.

One good reason is that MS stated the 300 servers would not be up until after the X1 launch.  Games that are in development for over a year that were not designed for the cloud would not change their code to support it on release.  Do you think these games started development when MS announced the X1.  

As for the what the X1 is, its many different things. Did you know that the 360 does onDemand from most of the big cable providers.  Yes, this means you never have to hook up your cable box to the X1 for your cable content because those services will also be on the X1.  The cable pass through is MS providing a way for people that already have cable which is millions to use their service without trying to upstage the cable companies.  

The cloud did not leave the X1, just the requirement for always access.  Also the term cloud means different things depending on what type of cloud service you are talking about.  This is the confusion that most people have about the term cloud.  Here are the different services that a cloud platform provides

Saas - System as a service

Paas - Platform as a service

Iaas - Infrastructure as a service.

Each service does something unique for its environment.  MS Azure supports all of those services and MS is providing those services to the X1.  I am not going to go into detail on each one as I have done this already.  You can google each one to see how they scope to the XBL platform.  Lets just say that MS has the capability to provide services like streaming your music and movies, hosting dedicated servers for all developers on X1, providing a development platform called Orleans for distributed cloud based applications (that would be your cloud base compute MS was touting about).

As for the system being subpar without the cloud, I think the jury is still deciding on that point.  I know I have not made a decision yet and will probably just wait until the dust settle before deciding on any of these consoles.  If anything I was thinking of taking that money and upgrade my PC.  Who know, maybe a steammachine is in my future depedning on how solid Valve gameplan is.

Yeesh, with new AMD gpus about to come out for the PC which look to be dirt cheap and super powerful, you don't want to demo the brand new super expensive console to be doing far less.

Thanks.

Now look what my original post
