Yup - this has got to be bullshit.
This sounds like MS getting one of their studios to push the cloud again and give impression that other games will be 108p/60fps due to the cloud - such as maybe a CoD patch later, etc. It's all insinuation.
Cloud servers can definitely be useful but only when a game has to be online - otherwise they're not going to help much and so far as I know Forza is being designed for both online/offline.
Of course if this is true - this is gonna backfire when it hits the net that playing offline reduces the resolution and effects.
The other slightly funny thing about it is it implies XB1 needs additional servers to produce a game that most likely could run 1080p/60fps on PS4 without the extra help.
I remember when poor old Ted Price was on stage talking about Sunset Overdrive, it seemed like he had a gun pressed against his lower back to mention the power of the cloud.
