Woah Data collection? Games really are better with the cloud!
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;41298270]Woah Data collection?

Over the next five or six years, it's one of those technologies that will change in meaning as we see more games come out and take innovative approach to the more and more offline processing that's available.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=ZachPL;41298365]Read the article[/QUOTE] That's great and all but they're using the Cloud for data collection.
What's with all this news about the Xbox One and clouds? Does Microsoft have some fetish for clouds or somethings? If so, I want them to stay the hell away from The cloud.
So basically cloud computing will be used for what it's actually good at, not for better graphics like Microsoft wanted people to believe? That's some shocking news right there.
The problem with this 'cloud' bullshit is that it doesn't work half the time. I lose my loadouts on Battlefield 3 at least once a week because of their terrible cloud servers.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;41298365]Read the article[/QUOTE] There are only certain things you can do better online/with a cloud, and making games better certainly isn't one for 99% of them.
Look ignore the word cloud, it's just that microsoft has a large collection of servers which developers are free to use as they please. This is a good thing, for example Titanfall is using it for their dedicated servers since it's much easier to set it up that way instead of using their own architecture and that also guarantees that the game will have servers as long as the console is being played since the publisher can't stop supporting them.
Don't care, I just want Sunset Overdrive in my life right now.
the infinite power of the magical Cloud
