Not sure if you guys seen this, but it's a QA with the devs on Sunset Overdrive. Around 29:10 they ask about the cloud and the way they answer makes it seem like they just want to use it for frequent updates.

Youve sure not shown it on this site.

I'm sure I did... dozen of time here... you just missed but can look at my post history.

BTW if this game have a offline mode it will run everything in the Xbone's hardware... no Cloud will be used or needed... maybe they are using the Cloud for development that but it is not anything new because a lot of devs uses Servers Farm to offload the processing.

Edit - The Cloud itself is not even close to anything new


Yeah sure.

 

I expect sevrely gimped game modes or last gen looking modes and gameplay. I frimy believe by 2016 alot of people are gonna be shocked the advantage Microsoft have over Sony.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Really looking forward to seeing exactly what this game is about.

Resistance was the biggest pile of Dog crap I ever did play for an FPS. Hopefully they do Third person stuff like they arte good at and used to.

By 2015/16 it will become evident just how important the cloud is. And how much of an advantage it is to Microsoft. I believe this will be the most important factor this generation. 2nd being multimedia function.

Gamers will be a massive minority in terms of voice by 2017. And this is the last gen where just a games console will sell.

 

@italic: i see no reason what so ever that shows microsoft has the uppser hand over sony, please, do not show me some PR bullshit as proof. 


@bolded: amazing how games manage to not be important anymore. 

@underlined: Even the PS1 has multimedia functions, your knowledge about gaming consoles is outstanding.

And you really think because they stopped talking about it it suddenly is gone from their plans?

Plans? I'm sure it is not gone from the marketing plans.

Thought the game was an online shooter, so I checked Wikipedia, this is what the article said about the cloud features:

"The game is expected to use Microsoft's cloud computing to create a living world, where user feedback and ideas such as Internet memes, social commentary, new items, weapons, and characters can be quickly added."

Thanks to the Cloud Sunset Overdrive will become the Reddit of videogames

Seriously though, I hope they know what they're doing here, very often when companies try to use memes to their advantage it just turns out unfunny and awkward.

Yeap... just content update like others games to since ever... not Cloud processing or anything like.

When they said the game will run offline the Cloud talk become useless.

BTW the games that uses Cloud processing/computing right now are PC MMOs or others online based games.... some shooters use too.

Both XBO and PS4 has multimedia if youre trying to imply something.

Resistance is good and for the 2nd time in the last 24 hours ive had to say this, dont act as if your opinion is the only one as millions of others may have a different opinion.

As for the cloud, nobody knows much right now so i have no prediction.
