[Katana_Strikes]

Cloudy with a chance of bullshit.

 

[Kusagari]

 

[thekonamicode]

Probably gameplay enhancing features like rendering ads on billboards.

Burger King and KFC as far as the eye can see!!!

 

[Birathen]

So Forza 5 weather effects confirmed?

 

[Ninman]

 

[JordanN]

So is it going to look better than DriveClub or what?

 

[NullPointer]

If this is the showcase game for cloud computing, bring it hard, MS.

Show us Infinity, Microsoft.

Our bodies are ready.

Soon the Great Journey shall begin. But when it does, gamers' lack of reliable internet access will stay their feet, and they shall be left behind

 

[R3TRO]

I'll take the wait and see approach.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[PJV3]

lol.
I prefer it.

 

[AOC83]

Why did it look so lame compared to Drive Club then?

 

[Kyon]

15 fps, no ai, rudimentary cubes for car models

What makes you think they exist?

You won't be able to play it.

They're left with the infinite power of imagination

no ingame clouds.

They're not buying an Xbone.

 

[Pistolero]

Built from the ground up to take advantage of Xbox One and the infinite power of the cloud, no game better delivers the sensation of being behind the wheel.

Since it's built to take advantage of the cloud, we shall soon see how MS promises materialize.

 

[Alx]

Well, at least we'll know soon enough if that cloud thing is a reality or just nothing. No room for vaporware.

 

[Gestault]

GT6 on PS3 will probably look better anyways.

I'm confident that Sony enthusiasts will say that, yes.

 

[Frolow]

Color me excited. Wonder how exactly they're going to implement their cloud services nto the game.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

So offline people.. What happens to them?

It's XBone, what offline people?

 

[i-Lo]

So is it going to look better than DriveClub or what?

Brah! Do you even infinite?

 

[sestrugen]

So offline people.. What happens to them?

 

[ypo]

This could be PR bullshit or maybe there is some interesting tech in that "cloud"
I am seriously intrigued.

It's called the Internet but MS thinks it's great to use buzzword from 5 years ago.

 

[MikeE21286]

This cloud shit is starting to annoy me. It's gonna fool the hell outta people for being legit.

Worse hyperbole than PS3 and the cell

 

[djplaeskool]

This stuff seriously reminds me of those IBM "Magic Server Pixie Dust" commercials.

 

[Graphics Horse]

So is it going to look better than DriveClub or what?

Infinitely better.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Why did it look so lame compared to Drive Club then?

No clouds that day. Wait for a rainy day.

 

[Mario007]

Funny how the infinite power of the cloud is very close to a bit below the finite power of PS4 when comparing Driveclub and Forza 5.

 

[i-Lo]

It's called the Internet but MS thinks it's great to use buzzword from 5 years ago.

And some ppl will gobble that shit up.

 

[SniperHunter]

hahahaha fuck man

 

[shinobi602]

Always online required then.

 

[enzo_gt]

So is it going to look better than DriveClub or what?

It's likely physics calculations, not realtime graphics. But Drive Club isn't even a sim so it isn't a big deal.

Show us Infinity, Microsoft.

Our bodies are ready.

Soon the Great Journey shall begin. But when it does, gamers' lack of reliable internet access will stay their feet, and they shall be left behind

Amazing.

 

[Kusagari]

It's called the Internet but MS thinks it's great to use buzzword from 5 years ago.

Most regular people have no idea what Cloud really is.

MS knows what they're doing by using this buzzword everywhere and we've already seen mainstream media falling for it.

 

[Arkam]

Whatever the cloud can or can't do, the label "infinte power" is really stupid.

It's just the marketing dept spinning the scalability of the setup. I agree a bit of a reach, though not a straight up lie.

I'll be curious what MS does with cloud besides match making and advanced stat tracking(ie Super Autolog)

Is it E3 yet?

 

[Frolow]

Funny how the infinite power of the cloud is very close to a bit below the finite power of PS4 when comparing Driveclub and Forza 5.

How can you compare the two? We haven't even seen actual gameplay of Froza 5 yet...

 

[UrSuLeTZuL]

=))))

 

[Mifune]

Is that DriveClub footage actually realtime? Because, uh, wow.

 

[PJV3]

I wanna pump some cloud into my ZX spectrum, that infinite power.

 

[jett]

This cloud bullshit is unbearable. Even worse reading people actually buying into it.

 

[R3TRO]

So is it going to look better than DriveClub or what?

Why does Driveclub look like it has some brown instagram filter on it?

 

[BoboBrazil]

How can you compare the two? We haven't even seen actual gameplay of Froza 5 yet...

Well if that wasn't gameplay of Forza at their conference what was it? If that was CG I feel seriously bad for the gameplay that will come out. Drive Club looks much better than what they showed of Forza at the MS conference.

 

[The Elite]

If I had infinite power to use, I wouldn't blow it on a video game.

 

[Dragon1893]

I can't help but laugh when I see that infinite powa of da cloud line lol.

 

[FlyFaster]

Infinite Power...


more powerful then a star, or a blackhole. hmmmmm. right.

 

[Chibits12]

No internet = no cloud, so no infinite power either.

 

[madmackem]

I guess people will fall for anything.

 

[oVerde]

"Infinity power of the cloud", man that's bad PR.

Expect over the top multiplayer with features across many devices, and MAYBE some in game improvements, even been a cloud computing dude, we can't tell how ready can it be for launch.

 

[Alx]

It's just the marketing dept spinning the scalability of the setup. I agree a bit of a reach, though not a straight up lie.

"Unlimited" would be sort of true. "Infinite" is just false.

 

[FyreWulff]

It's likely physics calculations, not realtime graphics. But Drive Club isn't even a sim so it isn't a big deal.

Too much latency to outsource physics calculations to a remote server. Forza usually samples physics at 360fps.

Anyway, I'm almost convinced 'cloud power' is going to become the blast processing of this generation

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Simply amazing. So the graphics will continuously evolve over the course of the generation and end up looking better then real life?

Dat infinite power.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Stupid question but what happens if everyone with a xbox buys a game that requires intensive cloud usage and the cloud isnt able to provide the feedback required, game crash?

 

[YianGaruga]

It's just the marketing dept spinning the scalability of the setup. I agree a bit of a reach, though not a straight up lie.

Scalability of what? No one even knows what the almighty cloud is supposed to do. Saying "infinite" anything is the biggest hyperbolic bullshit you could say about a thing.

 

[fertygo]

This "infinite power of cloud" totally gonna be in every boxart isn't it?
