I wasn't talking about multiplayer.

Of course not i just simply react to OP click bait thread, only Crackdown game that benefit with the Cloud on physic calculation, and also it doesnt change but surely the calculation will depend on the minimum targeting spec of the internet they said in OP.

The graphics are still underwelming. Look at infamious second son it has a lot better graphics and has a lot destrutables.
I wouldnt support games who derive their graphics from servers

It is a general question on how the future of many tech will depend on internet access and routing especially will become way more important than it currently is as many services more and more have a requirement for low bandwidth internet.

Be it cloud computing or PSNow or other services which need "realtime" data.

Cloud computing is of course a buzzword but it's shorter than writing everytime what you did to explain what's going on.

But it won't use it when offline? Whether future games will depend on it, we don't know. But the current gen consoles are already dependant on internet so much, this will only get "worse" in the future.

That's what I mean, a part of the experiance is negated when you're offline. When I pay 60€ for a game, I wan't to be able to experience it fully. If my singleplayer experiance needs online to run perfectly, then you've crossed a line.

Of course but at least this doesn't apply here. Let's wait how this will be implemented in the future.

"But what really has us so excited is that this is not technology for technology’s sake. Developer Reagent Games haven’t spent years inventing ways to make slightly more realistic looking moustaches (yes, that was a dig at The Order: 1886), they’ve used it to create something that would’ve been completely impossible in the previous generation. That’s what we’ve been waiting for, and we couldn’t be more excited to see Crackdown 3 finally destroy any lingering disappointment with the current generation.

It can't look as amazing because rendering resources are still limited. The physics calculations only off-load the CPU, all the extra persistent rubble and falling pieces still need to be rendered with their own lighting, texturing and shadowing.  More pieces, more memory demands, more geometry to handle, more smoke effects, fire effects.

Targeting 2-4 mbps sounds low, it's not though when you share your internet connection with your household. Plus how far will it spike during big collapses. A lot of new geometry gets created that needs to be send to the clients. (unless things breaking up is scripted and only the falling and collision physics are computed in the cloud) It takes a lot more bandwidth to send geometry than a simple lossless compressed video stream.
For example in their early build they had over 40,000 chunks being tracked by the server. Just updating the position and orientation of those chunks at 30fps is close to 220 mbps. In the new build it looks like there are far less pieces and after stuff hits the ground it stops moving. Yet buildings collapsing into eachother, creating new geometry and everything flying through the air colliding into eachother will make a big spike.

Those bandwidth requirements are why we still don't see any of the various lighting and other rendering enhancements that can be done in the cloud. It simply takes too much bandwidth to do anything that looks substantially better. Physics is the least expensive in bandwidth yet I'm curious how far they can push it and how much will still have to be done by the client. (For example tracking the pieces locally according to simple gravity rules while the server only updates collisions and provides new speed vectors next to introducing new pieces)

They're just waiting for the inevitable glitches and disappointed players.

The obsession with the bandwidth shows it all.
