I wonder if we will see multiplat games in the future that use the same effects but are on the cloud on X1 and locally rendered via GPGPU on PS4.

I don't think third party's will even bother using the cloud. Considering X1's weak sales, there's no point. 

Devs did weirder things for money.

Well if MS paid them then they would certainly do it. 

Then it will be out of reach of many people. Plus when server support closes down it will be meaningless. But its a cool technology.

True. But won't playstation now have similar problems? I'd like to see how internet speeds will affect PS Now's steaming quality. 

There is no such thing as server support closing down with azure...

Do people actually follow what's going on before downplaying or praising it???

The entire point of the cloud net MS is pushing is to not need to worry about the server side of things... It is the opposite of dedicated server...
Virtually every servers are available for every games at any given time...
With azure you don't close down servers and repurpose them for other task.. They do it by themselves in real time back and forth scaling up to current needs... If anything it has more servers and more capacity every day...

Looks good but i'll believe it when I see it.

Could be good or bad.  Bad if the game is only online, good if when your offline the physics of the game suffers, but its still playable. 

As a X1 and PS4 owner that thoroughly enjoys both consoles I have to say MS needs to STFU and deliver on their "teh cloudz' bullshit. If there is a buzzword we've all heard enough of it's 'power of the cloud'.
