Maybe its not ready?

On paper is seems like bullshit. But MS is still pushing it as you can see from the link I posted above, that tells me MAYBE they will actually deliver.


Not ready yet? It was supposed to happen with the release of the console. Titanfall was not possible without it and all that jazz. none of true of course, but some just like to play the wait and you'll see game.


Perhaps you misunderstood how Titanfall is using the cloud. They certainly boasted about the dedicated servers, but they didn't claim it was going to improve the game visually.

MS still claims they are working on using the cloud to improve the performance of games on PC and X1. It hasn't gone away like the OP claims.

So yeah I'm just gonna wait and see. If MS doesn't deliver, it'll look bad for them.

 Or, like I mentioned, it could just be a PR stunt by MS to convince people to buy an XBone, particularly in markets where it has yet to release.

If they ever actually implement some kind of cloud computing, it wont happen until towards the end of the generation. It is way too early to be calling it bull, or even saying it is real. Microsoft has really only talked about the potential so far. They have yet to actually apply it to anything. The only thing they have done is basically just dedicated servers.

That's possible, but pessimistic and a great way for MS to lose credibility.

Quite frankly, I doubt many people if any are buying a X1 with expectations of the cloud making graphics and performance significantly better.
