This. Plus the new physics engine is going to be amazing.
Because it's not a Cloudy day.
So is it going to look better than DriveClub or what?
Looks like crap without clouds.

MS´s infinite cloud power
Well, there's a hashtag on the game's logo so you're probably not far from the truth.

Their whole 'infinite power of the cloud' thing actually makes me angry, which is weird as I'm generally not too bothered by this sort of stuff.
It just reeks of the worst sort of PR bullshit.
I can't wait until they actually explain how this infinite power will manifest itself in-game.

The clouds and the bushes are the same, man.

I though the Cloud stuff, wasn't for things in the vicinity as much as for draw distance and shit. Like being able to make a bigger world that changes.
Well exactly, F5 showed in-engine pre-rendered footage whereas Driveclub was actual gameplay (for a while)

We should start a hashtag to stop these marketing buzz words.
Those things work, right?

That's right ms. Keep digging. I guess maybe they want to do business in china? 
That's just it. It's possible they're worked out some feature that really is cool which utilizes Cloud computing to boost game features/experiences. But they didn't show or explain that. They just claimed "we have it." That's a frustrating communication.
It questions the intelligence of the audience. At BEST you could call it a "tease" until they show it off at E3. I don't respond well to that kind of advertising.

They should have just put 256mb of RAM and a Pentium II in there and used more cloud power. I mean, if the cloud has infinite power, then the console doesn't need any, amirite.

With infinite power you could rip a hole in time/space. Microsoft will go back and replace the original Xbox with this one.
Hence the name: XBOX ONE.
It is the first and the last. The Alpha and the Omega.
That's why its industrial design is retro.
And why they didn't put Xbox One on the box!
At this point, the cloud stuff really, REALLY needs clarifying by MS. As in, last week at the sodding conference.
They've said constant online won't be required, more so a 24hour-ish one off validation. So how can they produce games making the assumption people will be fine for a constant connection that this 'infinite cloud' shenanigans will surely require? They are segmenting their audience before they've began, even for those who concede and buy into/accept the validation DRM.
And surely the 'cloud' connection for games will require mandatory connection via XBLive which automatically means you have to pay subs?!?
I cannot believe MS will not field questions about this and just say 'shhhh later'.

G25/27 it will be NOT.

Did you miss the fact that the power was INFINITE!! ?
If footage is in-engine, then by definition that's real-time. Pre-rendered isn't even in the same category. We'll have a better sense when we see more at E3, but we know that the footage was claimed to be running on dev-kit XB1 hardware.
I think MS won me on this cloud thing. I really have no idea what it is but it seems I start to believe all games will look better and run with extra physics as long as I'm playing online. And as long as they keep updating the servers (maybe a million of them in 2020?) Xbone will never stop evolving...It's the only "One" console I will ever need in my life...
I'm so easily cheated....
BTW isn't US one of the worst internet infrastructure countries on the earth? Like many US people still are using DSL.....If Samsung is making a Korea only console featuring cloud I can understand...but MS and US?

But the XB1 has "finite" bandwidth. How does one process infinite that which is finite?
