You call game with less content quality? Ok then. I call that lazy downgrade. I hope people don't pay $60 for half a XO game.

he said that the cloud had the resources for the Ai in the game him so he had more time to work on teh resolution and frame rate so that he can get it full hd and 60fps by launch date. Most of the games at launch are rushed .

The thing with GT5 is that it toook so long for them to build a game that had 200 cars with premuim quality whiel the remaining 800is h cars were upscaled ps2 graphics. That is indeed lazy cause in taht amount of time ti took for gt5 to come up you would assume all their cars would be premium. Theres a limit to how much content is good. Too much content is bad as i rather have decent content, good gameplay and nice graphis in all the package. I thik if i am not mistkaen in time it took gt5 to come out there were 2 forza games.

and now we have 200 cars and no more for forza + only 14 tracks =/

Could have upscaled some 360 cars but they're too lazy

Stop calling developers lazy, that is nothing but insulting, you have absolutely no idea how easy or difficult it is to complete a game, or what troubles a developer can run into.

Have you seem that almost 500 are Premium and that the Standard Cars have been improved?? Or perhaps do you preffer to have choice to use those cars knowing they aren't the same quality of the Premiums or have even less premium cars just because developers decided to show how the car looks with open dors and hood? I know your answer.

You have summarized the right way the sentiment of everybody seeing this OP as PR Stunt.

So the game in offline mode runs at lower resolution ?

lol when I read that thread while I was ban I imagined the scene of LOTR where the orcs attack the wall lol....

did you guys even read the post ????

you do realize he doesn't say the cloud runs the graphics???? he says that the AZURE MS cloud server infrastructure they have available to them allowed them to allocate less HUMAN resources such as devs and programmers for that part (drivatar and online gaming) and put more on the actual graphic/physic game engine team in general.... because the SDK requires less overhead...

in other word he just said he had more people to work on making sure the game was 1080p 60fps because the MS cloud/online infrastructure is easier to exploit than if they use an in house solution....

but nice post this was some hilarious reading to make....

because it doesnt seem like the people who do online infastructure, would do or know how to do graphics and physics. it seems like there are different people used for different tasks.
